At other houses you can have one. There is one in my house in Markarth and Solitude, I haven't bought the others yet besides Whiterun.

I have not really explore Markath or Solitude a ton, but do you buy houses from a similar type of dude as in whiterun (like the jarl's advisor)? Do you need to do a bunch of quests in each city? I was expecting Tulius to offer me a house in Solitude after finishing the Legion questline, but I guess it doesn't make sense.

 

[Trojita]

Spoiler tags still need to be used...

Yeah I know, and someone was commenting that there was spoilers that weren't marked.

 

[Deified Data]

cool, thanks. i guess breezehome or whatever it is called just can't have one. damn, those others are pretty expensive places though aren't they? not to mention i don't want to live in markarth. those people are assholes.

Pity - Markarth's home is beautiful. Dwemer architecture is superior.

In Markarth I had to do two Forsworn bounties, followed by a quest where I

retrive the the Jarl's father's shield from a Hagraven

. Then I earned the right to own property.

Haha, Markarth is like 8,000 or 10,000. Solitude is 25,000, so yeah pretty expensive. But they are cool places with weapon racks and places you can mount your shields and mannequins to display your armor.

Yes, you have to do quests to build up your reputation with them so they offer you the chance to buy a house. The quests are pretty cool though so it's alright.

There is a set with a similar naming structure.

No kidding! Can you link me to it on the Wiki or anything? What a weird coincidence.

One of these? They were pretty tough when I first started finding them - now I dispatch them as easily as wolves.

I did.

I ran right past that hunter dude I passed on the way up and he got taken out in a single swipe.

How the hell am I meant to get up there?

[Xdrive05]

Am I missing something? I have 7 perks saved up but I can't seem to spend them. What gives?

For example, my magic is at level 25 - so shouldn't I be able to "buy" a level 25 perk? I've been hoarding them for, well, 7 levels now and it seems I've broken the game. Or I'm not understanding something here...

 

[Zeliard]

It's somewhat a shame the dragon encounter up the 7000 steps wasn't scripted. That was a great setting for a dragon fight.

the perks are trees and you have to get the pre-reqs if you don't already have them.

What race? If you're Nord, simply use Battle Cry and run like hell. Alternatively a scroll of paralysis or fear might help.

Are the wardrobes in your rooms in College of Winterhold safe? I really need a safe place for my stuff, i don't want to buy Breezehome and i need the money for spells and other stuff anyway.

you need the base perk first.. it's a tree. a skill tree.

Do you have all of the perks up to the one you want? To get most advanced perks you have to accept a few small-fry, first.

Lucky bastard. My best unscripted dragon fight was in the hotsprings outside of the Eldergleam Sanctuary.

Perks have prerequisite skills, so maybe you need like a 50 in destruction to open up a perk. If you want to get that perk you need to get that skill to the appropriate level first.

And also the prerequisite perks as well like Deified Data said.

i'm pretty sure someone mentioned stuff disappearing from that place, so i wouldn't.

You are meant to level up, come back and own everybody.

 

[jonno394]

Just got my arse handed to me by two dragons near Eldergleam Sanctuary. Fun times as dragons seem to be just like buses in my game. You wait an age for one and then two turn up at the same time!!

 

[Xdrive05]

Yup - I bought the first destruction perk at level 2 or something, but I can't buy any more destruction perks on any "finger" of that constellation. (It is "A" button, right?).

Your Destruction skill probably isn't high enough. Each node has a skill requirement.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

I just killed a normal dragon and didn't get a dragon soul for it. Is that normal?

 

[ksimm]

Skyrim glitches are fun, I've spent many times trying to talk to it but it seems to troll me by flying the fuck away from me lol.

If your skill is up to snuff, and you've chosen all the perks of that branch up to that point, I can't imagine why it wouldn't let you. Do you have any enchantments boosting the skill in question, so as to fool you into thinking it's high enough? I don't even know if that's possible in this game - just throwing out ideas.

 

[Woorloog]

Goddammit, where i can put my stuff then... the fucking dragon scales and bones weight ridiculously much (as does my armor...). Maybe i should travel to Riften buy the Amulet of Mara, marry someone and move in on the spouse's house, that would be cheap. Of course i would have to find a suitable NPC for that...

EDIT cast Raise Zombie on Dragon skeleton. Just try it.

 

[Xdrive05]

I'm a MOR"A"N! No, I did NOT buy the 1st destruction perk afterall. Rather, I did but lost my save and forgot to buy it again after the fact. So I've been playing for 13 levels now with gimped destruction. Thanks for making me check.

What is the difference between the regular guide and the CE?

Post on neogaf and share the pain with us. :3

You might want to kite it with destruction spells and arrows, maybe a quick swing, but get out of his sight if he gets too close. If you want to cheat the system, try to climb on some rocks. He won't be able to climb up with you if it's steep enough, so just shoot away

 

[daebo]

Too many posts, so I'll just ask...

I'm running into a problem where I'm exploring and just going into dungeons or whatever, killing stuff and then fighting a semi boss who drops something... Turns out (and this is driving me crazy because it's happened to me twice now) that the item I looted was a quest item.

Problem is, I've gotten the quests later in the game but it's not recognizing I have the item... So, there it sits in my inventory... I run through the dungeon again just to see if I can reset it... No go... SO, it's showing I have it... but it's not recognizing that I have it... and I can't finish the quests.

1 quest is just a silly sidequest about a flute... I'll get over it. But the other one seems a lot story driven and it's pissing me off because i can't 'finish' it...

Any ideas what I can do or am I screwed?

I'm doing the final quests of the thieves guild. It's awesome :O. And I didn't expect them to be so loooong. This game has more quests than oblivion vanilla, or at least it feels like it.

 

[GhaleonEB]

FUS RO DAH.

We used unrelenting force on those bastards, so yeah, "launched" seems like an apt term.

Also, this Cracked article is amazing.

My god, that article had me in tears. :lol

Glad you found it! Have fun spending all those spare perks.

 

[mickcenary]

So, with my interest/curiosity relatively piqued, I YouTube'd some Skyrim gameplay; some stealth-oriented gameplay, to be exact.

Honest question: does the way the game animates/moves irk anybody else as much as it does me? At one point in the video, you were crouched behind someone before hitting them with a mace. They just flopped over. There was zero visual feedback; zero anything.

I can't reconcile with it. I think this is why I've never played a modern Western RPG before.

I did mine quite easily. I started at 7am so it can be daylight almost all of the time up there. I only ran into 2 frost spiders, 2 wolves and some sort of frost spirit. I snuck the entire way up and once it got dark again, I just waited another 12 hours to get it daytime again.

Use your horse and sprint up. Nothing will catch up to you.

 

[Visceir]

I'm lvl 44 now and have...or I guess had 13 unused perk points. I maxed out the sneak tree and will max out the archery tree as soon as I get the last 3 points into archery. Aside from 2 points into light armor and 2 points into smithing to be able to upgrade magical items I didn't really see anything I'd want or benefit from.

I wanted to hold off with putting points into enchantment until I had 100 enchantment, just so I could get all the skills right away and see if it's worth it...and how it is, I'll have pretty much double/triple as good armor now and thanks to the Black Star I'll never have to worry about soulstones.

73 hours in and I've yet to side with either the imperials or with the other guys. Although I guess I kinda made my choise when I (DB spoilers)

killed the emperor

...that and I slit quite a few imperials' throats during a jailbreak operation.

 

[Deified Data]

It's a quest item for later. Pick it up if you plan on pursuing the main quest shortly thereafter. If you don't you'll have to go back in and get it later.

Pretty sure you can continue doing whatever you want after the conclusion of the main quest.

[Piecake]

Welp, got the game two days ago. Played it for about 4 hours and was really digging it, then my laptop died

Was probably a bad idea to play skyrim on that laptop since I'm pretty sure that the fan on that thing is busted, but didnt really have another option.

I guess its a decent time to have it break since if it cant or is too expensive to fix, there are some great deals out there for PCs. Think I am going with the build my own desktop route if it comes to that due to it being the cheapest and most reliable.

 

[Echoplx]

Yep there isn't even credits or anything. I felt a bit lost :lol
