Awesome, I just decided to go back to the midden and try out an atronach forge recipe consisting of 4 items, and saw a staff magically appear on the dais. Walked up to it and it's a staff of frost atronach. I've been wanting a permanent frost atronach for ages. :D

I'll stick with my Sanguine Staff thanks. Pet Daedra F.T.W!
 
Dear Elder Scroll Gamers,

I am having a strange problem i have skyrim installed on steam and installed the skyrimboost mod but when i launch the game it says i need to update the game to the latest patch??? :S. I should already have the latest patch installed which is strange anyone had a similar problem?
 
Just completed the main Story in a little under 78hours, just a handful of quests left to finish then I'm all done, I'd say about 15hours or so more till 100% complete. Now to play Gothic 4
 
Played my mage upto lvl 12 and found it a bit boring and quite easy so far.

Switched back to my Thief/Assassin/Archer (not sure yet) last night, found it more challenging, more fun and I leveled him quicker for some reason, I feel I have more skills that are useful.

So I'm still fairly new to this game, 1 question though. Does it matter if I sign up for different 'groups'? For example I signed up to the companions last night, not really sure whether this will impact future aspects of the game!

Not really.. There are only 2 groups which are in conflict and you can only side with one of those.

imperials and storm cloaks. Your alliance to the others doesnt seem to make a difference, other than getting more quests,houses and followers from them.

Does not compute.

Mage spells are average to strong for the first 10 levels and rapidly become pitiful for damage when the enemies ramp up whereas sneak archery is the most broken thing in the game, capable of killing pretty much anything but the strongest foes in 1 shot and never being spotted even then.

But yes, if you mainly use Destruction and Restoration they both level extremely slowly.

There is no knock on effect anything but the obvious choice of the Civil War. It does kinda conflict as far as logic goes given what the ultimate end-game of the Dark Brotherhood questline is and joining the Imperials...
 
Where the **** is this creation kit bestheda?

If it comes out and they try to charge for it or bundle it with an expansion I'm going to rage so ****ing hard.

It won't be and they'd never get away with it they did. I've seen mentions that it will be released along with the 1.4 patch this month. All I know for sure is its been said to be released January 2012.

I wouldn't be entirely surprised if they're delaying to try and sort out this 'Steam Workshop' thing that effectively works as a mod manager/downloader for Skyrim.

Dont forget to activate the warrior or thief stone if you have switched from mage.

I done the same thing, i was a mage for a while, but now i have switched to 1 handed with a shield, much better imo.

That's just how I found it, my mage was walking through dungeons way too easily. Destruction for me was very easy to raise. Some of the others, not so much.

Agree with the bow however, it does seem too powerful combined with sneak and critical hits etc. And this is only lvl 12.

That wasn't what I did, I have two characters. Leveled both to 12 to see which style I prefer, but will probably play both.

Skyboost doesn't need 'installing' you just put the dinput8.dll and the whatever.asi in the same folder as the TESV.exe.

Make sure you start Steam before trying to run Skyrim.

Run Skyrim by clicking TESV.exe. Don't bother going through the launcher.

Remove mods. Does the game run? If so you have a mod problem.

You must have the latest version of Skyrim AND the latest version on the mod.

Try running Validate game cache. Steam Library, right click Skyrim, Properties.
 
I have been using The Lovers stone pretty much all game, as I am just too lazy to switch between the stones depending what I am doing :).

Might change to the Tower stone. That + Breton = 50% magic resistance.

LOL, i haven't even found the Lover stone or any other stone yet.
Just the original ones near Riverwood.

@Egon, i meant, if you activate the Warrior stone, and play as a fighter, your skills get a 20% bonus. (or increase 20% faster)
with the Mage stone, as a mage, your mage skills will increase with a 20% bonus

im sure you need SKSE and script dragon for the skyboot/teval to work
 
Can any one help me a friend of my was kind enough to buy me skyrim on steam. I fire the game up every running great and looks great and i make my toon.

I get to the point where the woman is giving the last rights and she says behold then nothing happens according to my friend some guy is meant to shout shut up and lets get on with it. Instead of that the woman just stands there waving her arms and nothing else happens. The game doesn't crash or anything and i can still look around.

Any ideas whats going on, i am reinstalling it see if that fixes it just wondering if any of you have come across this problem as google didn't give me much joy.

No but it's handy to use anyway

I use it for SKYUI :D

Indeed, its such a big improvement.

I can only hope they add something that lists learned enchantments while out and about because I'm sick of picking up some random weapon and taking it to an altar only to realise I already had it or not being sure if I do have an enchantment that a vendor is selling cheap.

Is it just me or does Smithing always feel kinda like a cheat when you use it? There is essentially no reason to use them for anything other than creating Iron Daggers with the way item cost/complexity has no effect on the exp gained, you can't smith things to turn a profit unless you gathered the materials yourself which simply doesn't happen for valuable items (bar the one Ebony Mine). I came across it earlier, cleared it out of Ore (about 30 Ingots worth in all), then immediately bumped my Smithing up to 80 from 68 so I could take the Ebony Smithing perk. I could quite easily do the same to 100 and just use Dragonbone Armour (easier to craft than Daedric) and the only thing really stopping me is because it just seems broken.

Thinking I'll dump Lydia anyway after this place. Gone to get Mjoll the Lioness' sword and made her a Ebony Warhammer (Legendary) for when she's available as a follower. Figure theres no point teaming up with a 1H+Shield Warrior when thats what I'm specialising in so I'll go get me a heavy armoured two-hander to smash some skulls :p
