I maybe see Skyrim Thing?
Grrrr. I’m in Mzuft looking for the Staff of Magus, and there’s no Focusing Crystal to be found. I’ve been over every square inch of it.
Grrrr. Guess I’ll use player.additem, but I don’t like it. Grrrrrr.
I had the same problem with my wife, Mjoll - no lover’s comfort for far too long. So we went to marriage counselling with Aela the Huntress (whom I do not recommend as a marriage counsellor, by the way! Her only suggestions were that we spend more time hunting together and that I should get Mjoll spayed. Really!).
Anyway, during the sessions it eventually came to light that Mjoll had had a pretty traumatic childhood. She told us that she’d seen enough death to last several lifetimes, but she never gets tired of it, and then asked us what did we make of that? Aela though that was cool. So did I actually.
We took a break for Skeever tails and mead, then continued to the real cause of the problem: Mjoll was despondent because our house (Vlindrell Hall) has no bathroom and she didn’t know how to break it to me that humans need to take a shit every now and again. (Up until then she’d been pissing in my philters of weak poison - take that falmer scum! 
and leaning off the porch railings at night to dump one into the river.
So now I understand a bit more of human phisiology! And until the contractors finish up with a bathroom (seriously, who built this place?) I’ll just take her out to the forest once every few days. I’m going to let her keep pissing in the philters though.
Oh, and her classic line breaking it to me was "You know I can carry a good bit of stuff, but this is ridiculous!
Yeah, I had a problem with that one, as well. Turns out it’s on a body right at the beginning of the ruins- I missed it on my second run through. Rather than go all the way back, I just console cheated and didn’t fell the least bit guilty for doing so.
The mage (Gavros something-or-other) at the beginning? I checked him very thoroughly. He didn’t have it.
The wiki says it’s supposed to be on a leveled Falmer in the Aedrome, or whatever it’s called. Nope. Wasn’t on him. I checked all the mage bodies I found. Of course, the wiki also says there’s supposed to be a Dwemer Centurion in that room where you get the key to the Occulory, and there wasn’t. Although there was the remains of one, as well as the remains of a few Falmer.
Damned if I know. I finished the quests and now I’m the Arch Mage. Yippee.
Time for bed, anyhow.
I accidentally let Jenessa buy the farm last night. It was very irritating, since I made sure to avoid AoE spells, and I know I never targeted her with my lightening bolt.
I figured I’d use the “Resurrect” console command on her. I targeted her (The screen said to press E to search her.), pressed ~ to bring up the console, and typed “Resurrect 1”. She’s still dead.
What am I missing. Do I need to toggle on console commands or something?
You have to target her while the console is up–the console targeting is separate from the in-game targeting. Just click on the body after hitting ~, and her ID should show up at the top of the screen. Then use the resurrect command. (The rez command is one of my favorite things in all TES and Fallout games. It amuses me to go around arbitrarily raising the dead.)
Okay - thanks. I had no desire to fight Krosis again.
Jeez he was hard. And worse the first time you encounter him, there is a good chance you are either fighting or just fought a dragon.
I had fought the Blood Dragon (who the hell gives a bounty on a frikkin Blood Dragon to a level 18 character?) on the hill. I engaged her with my lightening bolt while she was sitting on the Word Wall.
I finished her off, and headed up to the word wall to collect my new shout, when: Surprise! “Hello, my name is Krosis, I’m here to kick your ass.”
Ha. Awesome.
I used a shout on Krosis and launched him right off the cliff. Then I zapped him from on high. All well and good until I couldn’t find his corpse.
I’m now at level 42. Pure Mage except I have 100 sneak so I sneak in, sneak attack and that usually does it.
I can’t believe how BIG Skyrim is. I’m Level 23 with my first character and I just went into Riften for the first time. I still haven’t been to Markarth or Falkreath. Yet it feels like I’ve been a lot of places. By the time I was this far in Morrowind or Oblivion, I knew all the cities by heart. Morrowind was my favorite video game of all time, but I think I might have a new love.
I agree. I haven’t played in awhile but I am in my high 20s with almost 90 hours of play time and I have barely explored the west half of the map. Just went to Solitude for the first time recently.
I’ve got ~250 hours @ level 56 and I’ve only done the first greybeard quest for the main quest. I’m only about halfway through the Dark Brotherhood, but I was just crowned the Thieves Guild master and I estimate I’ve done probably 90% of the side quests.
I think it’s hilarious that some characters just won’t detect you under any circumstances if your sneak is good enough.
I was fighting a really tough ship captain (from a side quest I started by talking to a random person on the street who wanted me to help him crash a boat so he could loot it) and he kicked my ass every time he got close to me. But an arrow fired from sneak does 2x damage. So I fired one across at him, tagged him and waited for him to come looking for me. He had to go up and around and then down a pathway to the cave where I was waiting. When he was still up at the top of the hill he for some reason couldn’t see me peering out of the cave bucking him with arrows. He’d get close to the bottom of the hill but wouldn’t look in the cave. After a moment he’d give up searching and would say something like “Hmmm, must have been my imagination.”
Yes, Captain. That was your imagination that just shot an arrow into your face!
Lately in dungeons, marks are getting close enough to me being stealthy that they shove their crotches in my face, but they just run me over undetected on their way to Lydia.
I experienced quite a funny bug last night, after mounting Shadowmere I started to trot away but Shadowmere alone became my avatar and my character animation remained hovering in one spot in mid air doing the splits, making all of the body gestures and movements as if she were riding and turning the horse. It was fun for awhile, especially with Lydia standing only a few feet away. From the right angle it looked like she was the one with her face in my crotch making me squirm with delight. I could not dismount though, and had to fast travel somewhere else to continue playing.
I finally became Arch-Mage. With the Arch-Mage’s robes and either of the Dragon Priest’s masks I have, my head disappears when viewed in third person. You can see the cowl of the robes from the back, but when I look at the front of my character there is literally nothing under the hood.
