  1. For the skyrim newbies:

    Get the Black Star

    • Very useful daedric artifact for enchanting

    Do the quest in Frostflow Lighthouse for (Healing Spells Cure 10% More)

    • Passive effect, meaning it's always on

    Pick a Guardian Stone

    • Passive but you can only have one stone active at a time

    Gain a Blessing

    • Temporary passive effect, you must renew every 8 hours and you can only have one at a time

    Give a coin to a bigger (Gift of Charity)

    • +10 speechcraft for 1 hour, useful if you're about to go on a big spending/selling spree

    Hope that helps, that's all I could think of but i'm sure there are loads of other blessings and useful things. Reading up on your daedric artifacts could also help you get some cool stuff.


  2. You can join multiple guilds at the same time. The civil war quest line is separate to other quest lines. In the civil war quest line you can only join one side, stormcloak or imperial... but they're both assholes.

    Invisibility potion

    • Ice Wraith Teeth
    • Chaurus Eggs

    If you've cleared that lighthouse you'll have around 400+ Chaurus eggs


  3. If a dungeon harbours a dragon shout and you've found the shout, on your map the location will say "Completed". Unique dungeons can also be "completed" if you've killed the main boss or found the main treasure, it's usually quite obvious. Some dungeons can't be completed though, they're often the places where radiant quests take place.


  4. My stats tell me I've stolen 5 horses, seems that each time you get off and then jump back on it counts as a seperate crime.

    Wish there was some way of knowing how many hours I've played.

    Look at your save file in-game, it will state how many hours have been played.

    what's the estimated number of companions out there??? and if they die are you then tasked with taking all that inventory with you, or will that body stay there forever and you can fast-travel back and forth to collect it all??

    ohh crap, is there a bounty in this game too?? i was quite the violator in oblivion...

    Not sure about how many there are, i'd guess around 40 though. When they're on the verge of dying, they crouch down and enemies tend to stop hitting them and target you instead. So this gives them the chance to heal, but if they're hit during this time, for example; if you aren't near to take the agro, they can get killed easily. You can heal them and buff them etc.

    Their body will remain there for some time, up to 30 in-game days I believe, but don't hold me to it. They could disappear after a few days or remain there forever...

    Yes there is bounty, maximum of 1000 gold in each hold. Committing a crime in one hold doesn't transfer it to the other. You can get away with some crimes by paying small fines, being the Thane or bribing the guard.

    Another thing I noticed (in the alchemy store at least), if you steal stuff in a shop, the items are eventually replaced. Unlike previous Elder Scrolls.


  5. i still read this topic, just to try and make sense of things... i am sure i too will be at a loss as to what to do... if it's anything at all like fallout though, i will probably be able to pick it up and do stuff right off the bat, but i too am clueless about the world of tameriel... i think that's what the world is called... i didn't learn enough in oblivion to know what's going on in the world...

    do read the history books though, i got lost in them in oblivion, which sheds some light on the history of the world... don't wait for me marney, i am sure i will catch up to you soon enough... plus, on waiting i am giving bethesda a chance to fix this game save situation before i start playing...

    If you've played Fallout 3/NV (which you have, a lot), this game will feel very familiar. However, at the same time you'll definitely know that it's a vastly new experience. You'll understand when you begin.


  6. We are very proud to officially announce that Grand Theft Auto V is in full development.

    Developed by series creator Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto V heads to the city of Los Santos and surrounding hills, countryside and beaches in the largest and most ambitious game Rockstar has yet created.

    A bold new direction in open-world freedom, storytelling, mission-based gameplay and online multiplayer, Grand Theft Auto V focuses on the pursuit of the almighty dollar in a re-imagined, present day Southern California.
