And a staff with the whats her face and an equally clever name as well. I rather enjoyed doing that. I might want to check that out as well.


Also, I hate enchanting while on the subject. It takes FOREVER and I just dont really care about the effects it can give me. I dunno......maybe Im crazy, I feel like I want to mine half the day, and spend the other half making cool gak for my shelves that vomit said items out on the floor


Automatically Appended Next Post:
I just had a serious WTF happen this morning. While continuing the main quest I went to meet the master of the Gray beards.......

Spoiler:

And When I clicked on Paralarafaladactyl guy, he just flew up into the sky SUPER high while talking to me. The higher he went, the quieter he got until I couldnt hear him anymore. Then he just kindda flew in a circle incredibly fast. So I had to do that WHOLE segment with the subtitles on, so I knew what the hell he was talking about. THEN when it was all done and I started to leave, he plummeted to the earth like a ball of fire, and kindda laid there, like he hit the ground to hard.

I had the same as you.

I've found a weird glitch:

If i target an item and it does the who "Press A to pick up" thing but if i hold down A the item starts floating around in front of me.

The stupid thing was as well when i killed the stormcloak I had a bounty placed on me when the area i was in was pro-Imperial.

That's not a glitch, it's how you grab items; you use it to rearrange naked dead bodies into provocative positions and such.

You found a feature, not a glitch.

Just be careful, heavy items can actually pull your character along, and you don't automatically drop it. I learned this the hard way, when I tried dragging a bandit off the edge of a cliff to hide the body from the other patrolling bandits. Well, I dragged the body over the edge, the body fell and pulled me right after it. My poor character died very confused about why I had her do that.

^ Can be fun, like the time I threw a hagraven off a tower, or my semi-ledgendary pile of 20 whiterun guards in the marketplace... ah, lazy days of slaughter...

Anyone else murdered the companions? I do have an excuse, the 2 brothers glitched so it was as if I was constantly activating them.

Often mid-swing in a power attack :/
So anyway, i beheaded one and stabbed the other.
And then decided that I don't like werewolves.
5 people left in whiterun....

^lol facepalm.

That read like a survival horror. 5 people left in Whiterun, I dunno how much longer I can survive here.................4 people left.............

Just curious, who are they?

Im sure 1 will be the Jarl, you cant kill the bastard. So Id guess the others would be ones that drive a quest somehow, and therefor you cant kill them. Thats why I miss the old Morrowind days, where when my blood lust got the better of me, I had to deal with the world I created

Day 223: 5 people left in Whiterun. Food running scarce will last less than a week.
Day 230: 4 people left in Whiterun. Enough food for another 2 weeks.

lol purplefood.

Day 250: 3 people left in Whiterun, me, myself and I.
Even though I reckon something gonna go down some and I is going to myself. Maybe I should move to a more populated area?

Well, you can't kill the following:

Braith (child)
Sinmar (guy in the inn) is essential, may change if Stormcloaks are defeated?
Mila Valentia (child)
Balgruuf the Greater (Jarl) is essential as long as he's Jarl, but can be killed if he's usurped
Dagny (child)
Frothar (child)
Hrongar (Jarl bodyguard) is essential, may change if Balgruff is replaced?
Irileth (Jarl's housecarl) is essential, may change if Balgruff is replaced?
Nelkir (child)
Proventus Avenicci (steward) is essential, may change if Balgruff is replaced?
Vignar Gray-Mane is essential, may change if Stormcloaks are defeated?
Lars Battle-Born (child)
Aela the Huntress is essential, but looses that if you marry her
Farkas is essential, but looses that if you marry him
Vilkas is essential, but looses that if you marry him
Olava the Feeble is essential, may change if you complete her Dark Brotherhood quest?


Even if you go out of your way to complete quests to make everyone non-essential, you're still left with 6 children (Braith, Mila Valentia, Dagny, Frothar, Nelkir, Lars Battle-Born), 2 Companions (2 of Aela, Farkas, or Vilkas), 3 rulers (same number of Stormcloaks and Imperial Legion supporters, since Hjornskar Head-Smasher moves in for Stormcloaks).

So, the best you can do is reduce Whiterun's population to 11 (from a starting total of 65).

See I remember the days of Morrowind, when my Sorcerer felt......a little annoyed with the living, and cast an absorb health spell I created, that was so devastating it wiped out all of Balmora in one shot. Thats how I rolled back then. On the xbox even

Customizable spells, just abuse waiting to happen

I did love my Silver Warhammer of 500 Shock, Fire, and Frost damage in 50 ft radius for 5 seconds.

That was one of the best parts of Morrowind, going completely nuts on spells and enchantments. I remember when we could have: Helm, Armor, Left Pauldron, Right Pauldron, Greaves, Boots, Left Gauntlet, Right Gauntlet, Shield, Weapon, Amulet, Belt, Pants, Shirt, 2 Rings, and a Robe for 17 enchanted items.

In Skyrim, you're limited to only 8 items

Also, Skyrim should have a toggle on whether or not being essential makes you unkillable. Sometimes, I want a character to just go nuts and kill everyone, even if it means I break quests.

Day 232: 3 people left. The Dovakhiin came back today. Killed Jim as he tried to escape. Good news - food should now last 3 weeks.

And that is why there is going to be modding pack.

Day 243: 2 People left... she says she doesn't like me and has locked herself in the crypt. In an effort to re-populate the town i have begun the epic task of attempting to create life from ordinary components...
Day 244: My first creation (A mighty warrior constructed of brooms and buckets) has yet to realise life. I have attempted to use my limited supply og magic to no success and am now running low on magic. Will delay this project whilst i attempt to craft a magicka potion from wate, blood and other liquids i find...
Day 251: Magicka potion unsuccessful, warrior still not alive... Food has run out.
Beginning to contemplate suicide but if i do she'll get me!
Day 253:I have booby trapped the crypt door and burned down the church. No one can get out of there now... I can go now...
Day 254: No entry.

Is that a reference to something? I swear it is.

Anyone?
Help a brother out?

Reminds me of Disney's Fantasia and Father Grigori from Ravenholm in Half-Life 2.

Oh hell yea, it made the customization even better, and Im talking just for looks. Look, sometimes I want a shoulder to be larger then the other, sometimes I dont WANT a shoulder pad at all dammit!

But yea I used to go friggin nuts in that game. Once I got it on PC, I went even crazier. Heres a fun thing to do, make arrows and use spears as the image in the game, its fething awesome sauce. Then I got brave and decided to see just how far I could go with spell crafting until my computer exploded. I started in Balmora as always, and casted some crazy as nuclear explosion spell. I remember seeing the "marked for death" pop up from the Ordinators in Vivec, and shortly after that my PC committed suicide I dunno just how many people/things I killed, but Im sure it was more then the plague thats for damn sure

After completing the Companions quest, you can tell these guys to follow you. I assume they can then die/be killed.

Question: Can you marry multiple spouses? or is literally "till death do us part"?

^You cant marry multiple people, because marriage is a freakin quest (so stupid.) Only way to do is on computer.

Btw this is kinda off topic, but are there command code thingies from morrowind on computer too? If so what are they?

Till death do us part is easy to arrange...

And BAMF!!! right in the back of her head with a pick axe.
