am i the only one who seems to have trouble figuring out what pillar with what animal and in what order they should be put in ?...i've looked for clues and have found some but not all.....what am i missing? or the clues in a book or like some, on the walls?

Most of the time, clues are in the same room where the pillars are.

What's the dungeon ?

In some dungeons there are books (if you find a dead body, search it), in others there are panels with the animals on the walls. And in some you must find a lever or pull a chain that reveals a hidden panel that will give you a clue.

and sometimes the clues or answers are right behind the pillars....lol...my daughter and wife both say i make things harder then they are suppose to be...lol....thanks for all the help

Heh, first time I did Bleak Falls Barrow I totally forgot to check the Dragon Claw First, I tried to find clues from the walls (no luck), then I did a little trial-and-error (error only), before I finally remembered the Claw... And then I hadn't figured out how to zoom in on items, which made dechiffering very hard.
