The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim announced

Just got my 100k gold achievement :D, cleared out some of the crap from my house and made about 30k from expensive amulets/rings I'd crafted randomly.

Might go celebrate and buy the house in Solitude :D
 
I'm stuck on:

Skyrim:College of Winterhold (faction) - Revealing the Unseen: Use the Oculory of Mzulft to divine the location of Magnus' staff:

Section 5:

Speak to Paratus and place the Crystal in the Oculory. Cast three ice spells (Frostbite works best for aiming) at the assembly you just placed and then align the large green circles on the ceiling the the beams of light to focus the Oculory. Then speak to Paratus again and listen to him whine about the College.

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

I can move the beams up and down and I can turn the circles on the ceiling but I've been trying for ages and can't seem to get it to work?

Any advice?

Sucks that I've ran into this problem at the end of such a long dungeon and really want this to be over with now. :confused::mad:

I remember just spamming fire+frost at the assembly until it stopped aligning the light beams. After that you just turn the sections of the wall so the light beams land on the ruby-looking things.

It's ok I managed to do it in the end, I was starting to think it was bugged managed to get past it.

Cheers.

Why is my character so weak and useless, I went into a cave and there were 4 enemies, 2 with fire and 2 with frost and I just got owned every time, in seconds, so had to exit the place and come back later!

Then I got out and now I got a dragon, which I cant kill, what is best to use, I find my bow crap?? anyway, I cant beat it with anything I have and I cant even run away he just keeps killing me, its a constant loop! arghhh, any ideas?!

Could have at least picked a real race/build/class other than warlord! :p

Hehe:D

Hey, when a dragon starts attacking, such as is the case right now (game is currently minimised) Lydia engages it with her bow and arrows. If I want to run away and not fight the dragon yet, it means leaving her behind which I don't want to do. I can't speak to her either, she ignores me while engaged in battle. Is there nothing I can do to get her to follow me?

I'm finding the scaling getting worse as well and I use a bow as my main weapon. Misc quests I'm fine with, but if I go with a big quest the enemies dmg output and health pools just sky-rocket :(.
 
A few days ago someone in this thread gave us a link called - "Massive list of all the tips and tricks"

After reading the full list which is amazing by the way and very helpful I came across this:

Guardian Stones! There are 13 of them across Skyrim. You can have 1 active at a time, but you can change them at will.

The Warrior Stone - Combat skills increase 20% faster.
The Thief Stone - Stealth skills increase 20% faster.
The Mage Stone - Magic skills improve 20% faster.
The Lover Stone - All skills improve 15% faster.
The Apprentice Stone - Recover Magicka twice as fast; twice as vulnerable to magic.
The Atronach Stone - 50 extra points of Magicka, 50% Absorb spells, -50% Magicka regen.
The Lady Stone - Regenerate Health and Stamina 25% Faster.
The Lord Stone - 50 points of damage resistance, 25% magic resistance.
The Ritual Stone - Raises all the dead around you to fight for you once per day.
The Serpent Stone - Paralyze the target for 5 seconds, and do 25 points of damage once per day.
The Shadow Stone - Invisibility for 60 seconds once per day.
The Steed Stone - Carry weight +100, no movement penalty from armor.
The Tower Stone - Unlock any expert level lock (or lower) once per day.

I don't think I've ever come across any of these in-game but they look really good for a free buff.

My question is, how can I go about finding these stones in-game?

EDIT: Oh and here's the full list of tips for those who might have missed it = http://www.reddit.com/r/skyrim/comments/mb8la/massive_list_of_all_the_tips_and_tricks/

Thanks in advance. :D
 
You can see the symbol on your compass shaped the same as the first 3 guardian stones. The first 3 aren't hard to miss. :confused:
 
So i've got Fortify Destruction 25% and Fortify Restoration 25% on my mage's DragonScale armour/ring/necklace now, and this means I can cast as many Destruction/Restoration spells as I want for 0 mana cost. The only time I spend mana now is to renew my stoneflesh ability from the alteration tree.

My one complaint so far is that mage spells don't scale at all, so I will probably find enemies outpacing my spells sooner or later. also it shouldn't be possible to cast free spells, the limit should be capped somewhere along the line.

I've stopped putting points into Magicka when I level up anymore.
