You need to make sure that he is actually at his smith, if he is, then I have no clue.

Wait till a random dragon flies into town and you won't have to worry about him at all. The guy is suicidal.

Warmaidens FTW. Two merchants there.

I usually have to save/reload when a Dragon spawn in Riverwood because Alvor ends up getting slayed. If not him, then someone else.

He has to be close to his workshop to buy anything. Same applies to any other merchants.

Ive heard him having convosation's with his wife about him staying up to late in the inn drinking. maybe he had a rageing hang over and wasn't up to opening for business. Seriously though ive had this problem with outer blacksmiths as well. The one in Rifften and the Skyforge don't have the option to buy or sell some times have to keep opening up the dialogue to get it.

If I recall correctly, he has a place holder voice before release, and in my honest opinion, sounded better than his actual voice in game.

As for the OP, I have no clue. :P

And Belethor, EVERRRRYTHINGS for sale... XD

I've had this issue with people at Warmaidens and Alvor. Just wait an hour or more. Once I had to wait until 2 pm for Belethor to actually BE in his shop and sell stuff. I swear sometimes that dude be in there just baking down in a smoke session before opening or something.

I've had it where he'll be in there and it'll be round 10 AM like you said and he won't be in there. Had to wait until almost 1 once just to be able to go inside. Also had to pick the door once just to get in as well and a Guard caught me.

"I'm the Thane A-Hole.. back off"

"I'll let it slide this time..."

:D

he has never died on me for some reason...he has really crappy AI, just runs in a circle with a warhammer (i don't really want to know where he was hiding it...) then he kind of disappears when i look away. i keep thinking he is dead, but he always seems to just stroll into town with his hammer back in it's hiding-place-that-i-don't-want-to-think-about

Stump dies everytime, despite me never even seeing him attack the dragon. 2 of the 3 guards always die, and it's never the one with the Whiterun Shield for my house (IT'S NEVER A SHIELD-WIELDING GUARD THAT DIES!). The wood-elf usually lives because i always give him and imperial bow and guard armor (he is the guard commander of Riverwood! the fact that he still works at the mill just shows the Jarl doesn't pay him enough...)

One time the dragon spent most of it's short life attacking that annoying little boy. no one died that day.
