I don't have many good enchantments so far.

Sadly the only way I know to get them is by random loot in chests and occasionally from traders at higher levels, keep your eye out and raid dungeons!

As for getting enchanting up, visit every court wizard and buy all of the filled soul gems you can afford (if your average gold is under 10k don't but greater or grand) then make a load of iron daggers and enchant them.

Alchemy is a different story, even if you regularly buy/steal everything from all alchemy shops you come across and use it all to make potions it tends to be pretty hard to raise.

Spoiler:

Im not a wolf anymore if thats where it ends?

And I personally think it was pretty lack luster. Specially compared to the others Ive done with other characters. Pretty big let down

That's the official end of the main quest because other than that you just get radiant quests from Vilkas, Farkas, or Aella. Also I don't know if you knew this or not, but you didn't have to do that to yourself, just Kodlak.

Yea I knew that, I did it, and afterwards wished I hadnt Oh well, maybe when I give the mage a retry Ill make him a Wolf and then just leave him like that. You know, for when the going gets tough, the tough turn into a fething werewolf and starts eating your mates

Id agree with that assumption. My assassin I would gather every friggin ingredient I could find, and had a chest FULL of ingredients, and still barely would raise my alchemy.

Alchemy is the one skill I actually needed to use trainers to get to a decent level.

Well the "waking nightmare" quest is broken for me.

Care to elaborate? I don't want to mess it up too if I can avoid it.

I still can't believe falling 10 feet killed my Horse, when it had stood up to Frost-Fire-Blood dragons...

I have only used a horse for about 5 mins in the whole game, I just hate them. I just roll everywhere now; I find it's quicker, easier, cooler, and I don't have to keep dismounting from my roll to kill an enemy, then having to look around for my roll due to it wandering off during the combat.

I like the look of riding in on a horse into an epic battle, I just wish you could fight while on Horseback.

But that's just nutty how easy they die from falling, yet will run up to and kick dragons in the face .

I jumped off of my horse during a dragon attack, sprinted through the dragon's frost breath and started hacking at it, without being able to see it.

When the breath attack had ended, and the glare from the dragon soul being absorbed had died down, there was silence.

None of the normal heavy breathing could be heard.

I looked to my right to see my faithful companion lain low by a combination of the dragon and my dual wield power attacks.

I paused for a moment as a mark of respect.

Then skinned him and walked off.

I will say that I haven't bought another horse since that occasion though, out of respect.

I got shadowmere from the DB quest and now he follows me everywhere I go, it's kinda creepy.

There's a glitch where this guy who's supposed to open the temple dissapears off the face of the planet when you go in the temple. Save before going in I guess.

Anyone else have a problem with dead people calling in Hits on you for stealing there things?

Because I found an a shack with an old witch lady in it, but then she got killed by Necromancers so I raided her house. But she is still calling in bounty hunters on me.

The necromancers resurrected her, simple.

Ah, this happened to me. Had to go way back and re get the quest, walk up the mountain for 20 minutes, and then finally i did it again, and it worked.
Other than going to a previous save, i dont think you can fix it.

corpsesarefun wrote:The necromancers resurrected her, simple.

Can that actually happen

Because if so, I am so ed

I have no idea, crazy things happen in skyrim.

^agreed.

What happens in Skyrim............confuses even Neo

@corpsesarefun. Thanks for the tips. I have been doing something similar with enchanting, but instead of visiting court wizards, I have been going to the shops that sell everything (eg. Bits and Pieces) and buying all their filled souls gems, then just selling them potions to make my money back.

At this point I have unlimited expensive potions to sell to alchemists and misc sellers, so money is not really an issue.


RE leveling alchemy

You can level alchemy pretty fast, so long as you look at the wiki for good recipes to level you. Basically I do this: Mix up a bunch of expensive potions, go from town to town, buying EVERY ingredient, then selling potions until the vender doesn't have any more money, then move onto the next town.

You end up with unlimited ingredients and unlimited potions.

RE: Horses.
The best use of a horse is riding up mountains.

Interwebz says if I wait 110ish hours it might fix itself....

Hmmm Skyrim doesn't like me rolling anymore. I've had 3 freezes and a crash in the past two days that all occur mid-roll, and the game has slowed down substantially for no visible reason at all.

All my hardware seems to be in order, so i'm going to delete a chunk of my obsolete saves and see if that does anything.

EDIT: Now unplayable, latest freeze happened about 3 minutes in. Discovered it wasn't due to rolling around, though.

You keep talking about rolling. What is this rolling you speak of?

A Sneak perk. Pressing the 'run' button whilst in sneak mode executes a stealth roll, and on the PC at least, if your weapons are out then you can hold it down for a continuous roll, otherwise you have press it every time.

Thats cool!
What level is needed for it?
Also, do you play on pc? It sucks that it doesnt work any more.

50 sneak I think.

Thats a lot for me.
Time to wait...
*sigh*

Yeah, PC. I've verified the game cache and i'm about to re-try, but I honestly can't be bothered restarting the computer every time I want to test if it's fixed.

If this hasn't fixed it, then i'm just going to try a full re-install, but that can wait until tomorrow.

Put your savegames in dropbox.

Long story short I switched over to Windows 7 from XP recently, but I still have my old hard drive. Anyone know where you can find Skyrim's save files?

Open my computer hit ctrl+f and type in skyrim, the save files will be in one of those folders.

Mine were in C:\Users\Tom\Documents\My Games\Skyrim
