could also find more books, unless of course, that was the only book he sent you for...

I think this is a problem with Skyrim. It is fairly easy to mess up future quests by just mucking about and exploring.

Yeah, I'm on PS3, otherwise I would've done that

Aww, poor you.

Consoles are no place to play Elder Scrolls. My condolences to you and your loved ones.

Edit: yes, this is a joke. no, don't start a console vs pc argument.

I did this yesterday on the Dawnstar nightmare daedric quest. I went into the library and picked up the quest book before he told me to look for it and he just stood there and wouldn't do anything.

**Battle Brother Lucifer**

Since im lvl 81 I can never do the Wolf Queen Awakened.

Its triggered by leveling up. Why do game designers still use that mechanic, it ruins the ability to finish every quest etc for us max leveled people

Also, I made my own cool suit of assassin armor and enchanted weapons, however even with most pieces having + 40% 1 hand dmg,
a sneak power attack with my 119 (+ about 60 elemental) dmg dagger still cant kill friggen draugr deathlord with one hit. I hate when games level enimes

**Grey Templar**

At least the leveling enemies isn't as bad as Oblivion was.

I was kinda sick of finding priceless equipment being carried by random bandits.

I like that in Skyrim that at a certain point humans arn't going to really do any damage unless they are part of a quest. Its fun to stroll into a bandit camp and casually slaughter the bandits with backhanded blows

**Battle Brother Lucifer**

I like that, but hate draugr dungeons. That last one for the main quest? I easily fought 15+ draugr deathlords. its kinda bad when normal draugr are WAY more rare than DEATHLORDS

**imark789**

My brother saved over my game...so pissed

**Swordwind**

I'm thinking, once I get good at this game, I'm going to make a challenging character.

Hand-to-hand Khajit specialising in speech, alchemy, smithing, enchanting and heavy armour.

Punching Alduin to death ftw.

I'm assuming that you're on PC and used a console command for this, as as far as I am aware you can't get both the saviour's hide and the ring of hircine.

**Avatar 720**

Steam just DLed something for Skyrim, but I can't find anything about it on the intarwebz. Either I timed starting up Steam absolutely perfectly and caught it just as it was released, or it's nothing impressive.

**Corpsesarefun**

Yeah I just started downloading that too, it's taking a while because I'm also downloading dead space 2 (half price on steam

) though.

I think it's a brand new patch that you caught perfectly

**Avatar 720**

Bah, I now refuse to play until I know what's been changed...

**thenoobbomb**

Being a cannibal is extremely usefull. Healing yourself, that is..

Also, its remarkable that people seem to be more busy creating nudity mods then playing the game.
Or am I strange for thinking thats weird?

So they now say 'but then I took an cabbage to the knee.'?

Nope 360. I don't want to have to shell out $300 every time a new better looking game comes out. There is actually a glitch where you can tell him that you will spare him. This will make the spirit of Hircine that is outside the cave spawn and as long as you don't talk to the other spirit (the one that appears after you kill/skin him) you can go talk to it. So you kill him and quickly...I mean quickly get out of there as the other spirit will appear to give you the savior's hide. Run outside and get the cleansed ring. Turn around and go back in the cave and the second spirit should approach and give you the savior's hide...bam both rewards.

**Melissia**

Dude, shut up. Trying to start a console vs pc war by lying ain't cool.

**vodo40k**

After playing through, although its nothing im too concerned about, i believe there should be a few more achievements/trophies for some things:

- Property Developer, own every house
- Thane of Skyrim, become thane of all 9 holds
- Dragon Relics, find all 10 Dragon Preist masks

**Grey Templar**

Is it even possable to be Thane of all 9 holds?

What?! I'm not trying to start anything. I have an older laptop that I use for school so I don't want to drop $300 for a gaming computer. I seriously got 'em all. I got the trick from UESP wiki. Besides I'll be the first to admit Skryim has much more options on PC and first person shooters are way better on PC too.

Here's the link.

http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Ill_Met_By_Moonlight

It is entirely possible to obtain both the Ring of Hircine as well as the Savior's Hide. In order to do so, first you must help Sinding eliminate the remaining hunters. After doing so, speak with Sinding to complete his quest objective, then kill him. When you remove his skin, immediately avoid contact with the Hircine's spectral avatar and exit the cave, leading you to the spirit of the white stag, which will then reward you with the uncursed Ring of Hircine. Now re-enter the cave and speak with Hircine's spectral avatar to receive the Savior's Hide.

I believe so, but I hit a glitch where the guy in Windhelm won't sell me the house so I can't be thane. I did this after the imperial questline ended. I can't even do the quest to solve the murder. I did it on another charachter so I know what happens.

**supremeoverlordVECT**

horrible thing...doesnt really have anything to do with the updtes stuff:

while doing the main-quest line, there was a convention like thing in high hrothgar. with the greybeards, stormcloacks, blades and imperials. but after that, i lost ulfric. he's nowhere!. and i think i have to talk to him, as i liberated etire skyrim from imperials by killing alduin... i think this isnt right, though.....

I did that as well, but you can just talk to him and a dialogue option for "I found the book" should come up.

Failing that try dropping and re-picking up the book.

I dont recall this at all. What part of the main quest line does it take place at?

Try back in the castle in Windhelm for Ulfric.
