So, I heard awhile back that theres a Light house with a Kahjit keeper. Anyone know where?

The thieves guild has no presence in Markarth at the start of the game and all infractions are met with instant jail time in the "enescapable" cidna mine... I'm guessing it's Delvin's way of protecting us ahead of time. I've never found another explination. Anyone?

God that guy pissed me off. I closed his conversation because at the time I was being attacked by approximately 15 bandits and didnt really have time for this ethereal ponce and his musings the universe in general. Infact, if he werent a ghost I would have killed him to get him out of my way.

Not sure if this is mentioned somewhere...

You can get attacked by a dragon under water! Dragons can even land at the sea bed and spit fire while you (and they) are under water. I had a very strange encounter east from Windhelm, while I was swimming near the mouth of the river. I was close to the Wreck of the Winter War. While under water, I heard a dragon attacking the bandits at the wreck. I stayed under water and felt totally safe, untill the dragon's fire reached me! And I was still meters under water.

Then... the dragon landed near me! Just like it lands on land, it landed under water and this blood dragon roasted me. Strange. Beware of the sea

Those soul-gem fire/frost pillars instantly break your ward.

The alchemy lady in Whiterun talks while she sleeps. She constantly greets my thief, without noticing him or waking up.

EDIT:
Flame cloak (and other cloaks) can damage trough walls when you are close enough. (I killed a forsworn in a tent while I was outside)

Anyone ever find anything for Rune in the thieves guild?

Wanna raise your "Bunnies Slaughtered" stat but having a tough time catching the little buggers? No problem for Dovahkiin. The first word of Marked for Death will kill a rabbit.

i have discovered the danger. After i stole some stuff from klepper, hroki sent 3 thugs after me.

Good to know, those little buggers are getting on my nerves.

Frenzy or Mayhem will get those bunnies coming after you and your followers, city guard, pretty much any npc will chase them down.

Just read this:


How cool is that?

1) Also, If you kill one then you can level up your conjuration.

2) When mining, you can do it two ways, 1st is the normal way of point and let the amination just run and you will get 2 ore plus posible gems,
but if you stop the amination after each ore found and then restart it (do so fast so an NPC does not take the spot!) you will get 3 ores.

You stil get 3 ores even if it doesn't display it. The game does not show if you obtain tha same item in a quick succession.

Not sure if this has been mentioned and this is most likely a bug, but when you join College of Winterhold and do the Drevis quest to clear focal points, you gain crazy mana regeneration. If you spam activate on one you can get multiple of this effect(and soul gems) so it becomes alot more powerful. All 3 focal points have a chance of giving you this buff, so you can save the other 2 after activating the first one for later.

Another one I don't think was mentioned.. If you pickpocket a Briarheart from.. a Briarheart they will die instantly. This rquires the last perk in Pickpocket.

Using the Eagle Eye perk requires you to use a little kentucky windage when zooming, as your arrow will hit a bit lower than your crosshairs.

You can uses an Arrow to brake a trip wire, very use full when an enemy is in that location....LOL

Bard's Leap is not a diving board. (I may have been a bit loaded, but I did know enough to save before I tried that triple flip belly flop). Unfortunately the game doesn't even let you hit the bottom before reloading.

I kinda like the cut-scene. I sing "John Henry" to it..........

After you've beaten the main quest the bards have a new song available by request called "The Tale of the Tongues."

Take a seat in a tavern, and someone may actually come and wait on you.

Yeah, always look out for oil slicks as they are a good way of dealing with enemies. Even just a fireball (if you do magic) can start the slick in flames.

The one I didn't twig for ages is that when you clear the last baddie from a location the game play a chord.

There's also often a jar tied up in a rope over them. If you knock those down (arrow works great), they will start the fire, too. So, you don't even need to use magic- you can even kill this way from stealth.

If you are over-encumbered but only need to go a short distance, using a power attack with any weapon lets you travel a good distance, especially if you have a high stamina. Great for when you're in your house and have just removed all the dragon bones your follower had.

If you have the Blocking perk that slows time you can really mess around with any dual weilding attacker. Try blocking two heavy attacks from a dual weilder, time slows so much you can pretty much fus ro dah yourself by shouting and then running infront of your own shout.(dosent really work btw). Really slow things down by using slowtime shout and pulling out your bow & arrow with the slow time perk just after you block the dual weild attack.

If you have the one or two handed perk that allows you to do more critical attack damage when sprinting, you can do the sprint attack and if you repeatedly spam the attack button your toon will keep doing power attacks without draining as much stamina.

Try wearing glass armour and sheild, with daedric helm, boots and gloves. very badass.
Also full glass armour with Dragon Preist mask "Rahgot" and Glass Battle axe for a wicked fast dragon killing machine.

Starting a new character? Faendal is your best friend. As a follower who is available very early in the game you can train archery up to 50 and take back ALL the gold you spend. If you do the companions guild line shortly after and get Aela the huntress you can, with her as a follower, train all the way to 75 probably in the first 10 hours of play. Boom.

Havent seen this on this particular thread but there is a cool exploit with the necromage perk and vampirism. As a vampire you are classified ingame as undead so the perk works against(for) you because any healing spells or enchantments work way better.
Paired with the aspect of terror exploit the conjuring-vamp-destructo-mutha-svcka is now a real viable option.

The entire game is better after level 46. Level up your character without doing the guild and main questlines, stay away from leveled-loot caves. By the time you are at lvl 46 all the ingame armour and weapons are at their max, all the chests have worthwile items. Everything is just better.

No idea how to do that. The thread was closed...

Yes it is. Definitely save before making the jump, just in case, but I've never died while doing it. The first time you do it, there's a neat scene after you climb out of the pool that increases a skill.
