Er, Soladrin.

i hear a silly sound track song, or maybe a tavern background track.

2 drunk Dunmer and a orc tavern wench singing the song.

Actually, there's an idea! Get the Dakka community in on creating a mod to add at least one 'Good Guy' faction into the game, along with more 'good guy' quests and such!

It is possible. All we need are people with mics for voice acting, folks that can do Bethesdian Scripting, writers for the quests and personalities, and folks who can do the graphical stuff (like myself).

Whaddaya say?

I could try plotting out some quests, provided that the mod support Bethesda give us is essentially just a Skyrim version of the the construction set, I might be able to test it too, assuming of course I can remember how it works.

Not a fan of pun's... they are the lowest form of wit.

The lowest form of wit is still above most forms of humor.

Hey guys. Just started playing Skyrim and wondered if it's crashed anyone else's PS3?

Seems to happen occasionally when I open the start menu and try too save the game...

Its been happening to PS3 people with some regularity. They are working on a fix I think, but it takes longer to fix PS3 bugs then PC.

Oblivion, Fallout, and Skyrim all regulalry crash on me about three or four hours into gameplay, usually when attempting to save or doing something (like going into/leaving a building) that would cause an autosave.

Skyrim has been the most stable one so far (other than the bizarre riverwood crash).

I'm glad I played on console.

100 hours, zero crashes.

Since the game first came out, I've only had my PS3 freeze up twice. But, both times were when I was opening the start menu, which is a pain because that's the dumb location your quest tracker. But, I also went into the settings and I set it to autosave after every 5 minutes on the O button menu too, so I can get a backup that way if it ever crashes again.

Great, thanks for the replies guys! I was starting too wonder if it was just me, as my copies of Oblivion and Fallout 3 never crashed....

As I said, I'm not too far into it but it's still very annoying!

Because clearly playing on a console instantly means no crashes, oh wait...

Usually how it hits me, I've noticed the Thieves guild cistern, entering/exiting crashes a lot more regularly for me than anywhere else.

Just get used to hitting quick save and it's not normally an issue.

I'm playing on a PS3 so there's no quicksave button. But the crashes don't bother me. What bothers me are the quest-ending glitches (because there is also no console command bar). Autosave sometimes helps/sometimes hinders.

I do find it annoying that you can mess up future quests if you do something out of order.

Like going into certain ruins and clearing them before you are supposed to.

Okay, I'll correct that:

I'm glad I play on xbox.

yes, but they will cost 5,000 gold and carry incurable diseases. Effects might include slowing your movement(from the itching), and extreme vulnerability to all diseases. now even the lowely skeever will kill you in just a couple of swipes.

But if you're a werewolf you're immune to all diseases... unless of course there are werewolf hookers which just sounds like a bad idea.

@Manchu, I get what you're saying but I'm still saying that you're wrong.

Go to Morthal.
- Jarl is talking to some villagers.
- Villagers are upset
- Talk to Jarl
- Investigate burnt house
- Find girl at night
- Kill first vampire
- Investigate vampire house
- Show Jarl
- Rally the mob
- Go to cave
- Mob is full of wimps
- Go into cave
- Kill Vampie
- Reward.

Then as mentioned before there is Potema and her whole quest line which is a bit longer than some of the others I've noticed.

I've already mentioned Potema many times. And you would have a point if my point was that there are no good guy quests in Skyrim.

I do see where manchu is coming from, "good" quests seem to be throwaway quests that are never mentioned again whereas quests like the dark brotherhood quests have a lasting impact.

Yeah, it's hardly a controversial point. It's like saying that Khajit play a small role in Skyrim and then having people respond with a list of all the Khajit. Fine, but if I post a list of the Nords and their roles in the game by comparison, I think you will find that my point is pretty valid.

I would argue that most of the "evil" in skyrim is in the form of daedric quests though, even the dark brotherhood aren't truly evil half the time.

That said a guild that helps people whether it's on a small scale (like the warriors guild from oblivion) or on a large scale (for example foiling potentially world changing evil plans) that aren't secretly man eating werewolves would go a long way.

Again, it's not so much about the presence of evil as the absence of good.

Speaking of Khajits, it'd be nice to see some DLC that put more Khajits and more goodness into Skyrim. Khajit are sold regularly as slaves in/through Morrowind. A KotN-scaled quest involving a sort of "underground railroad" scenario could do the trick. We could even get a few more Argonians in, I'd think.

The Khajit caravans were awesome, it was a bit annoying that EVERY khajit in the game stole things though.

You know what is wrong with Skyrim these days? Everyone is obsessed with death!

I wonder if the Khajiit are the natural enemy of the werewolf.

Ataxia. It's a common problem in Skyrim.

My Khajit werewolf doesn't quite know what to make of this.

I think that he'll just end up chasing himself up a tree. I can't believe that Bethesda made changing your character a necessity for a quest line.
