Unable to mine ore vein

Post » Thu May 17, 2012 12:47 am

Hey ive been running around skyrim mine to mine and noticed that even though there is ore to be mined it does not give the option to press A to mine some specific ore whereas some ore can. Is this due to the recent patchj? I Could mine some ore I mined there a while ago in some of these mines but now it will not let me even though you can clearly see there is some available?

are you sure there's ore to be mined? not just an oddly colored wall? and if you've already mined it then you cant mine it again. dunno if it respawns or not.

Yeah if needed I could get a screenshot but I would presume ore regenerates... there shouldn't be a limited supply surely there are some miners in the caves there ore regens every 3mins or so

You can always try equipping pickaxes like any other weapon and attacking the ore mine. It's actually faster if you attack with dual pickaxes, and worked for me when I could not get the animation to play.

maybe the whole area is one big vein. just mine the others and see what happens. or try the attacking with pickaxe option.

It's because the texture loads without the "ore ready" information, just exit and re enter the mine and it should work again, happens all the time to me annoyingly.

Sometimes I'll start to mine the vein, my character will not swing the pickaxe, but just stand there. After he jumps back to reality, there is no additional ore in my inventory, the deposit remain's 'active' but activating does not do anything.

Sometimes I wonder if this game was actually played before they released it...
