Help: Want to regain some hours of sleep? Or level up your IRL social life In game!? Press the '#~', or the '`¬¦' key to bring up the console, and type 'qqq' without quotes! Viola!

Heh, nice one.

You wish to become Dovakiin in real life? It's very easy, my friend. Simply find the heart of a lich, combine it with the tongue of a dragon, and cook it with the flesh of a well-ridden horse. This combination is certain to make you awesome.

But I don't understand what is so impressive about shouting. I can shout whenever I want.

EDIT:

You want children in the game? I believe children are our future. But I don't want them ruining all of our fun.

Damn unkillable little....

Get me my modding kit.

Anyone has a legend for the map icons ? some are obvious but i'm not sure about say, the difference between the small tower and the small tower with a flag.

Also, there's useable weapon racks and book cases in your bought houses (weapon rack will take your currently equipped weapon, bookcases will place book by themselves) pretty nifty for decoration.

Also i haven't noticed magic being overpowered. In fact quite the opposite. It doesn't seem to do nearly enough damage for the cost. 'Course that may just be due to all this steel i have strapped to my body.... Guess they really increased the magic incumberance rate from oblivion.

No no thats not it, magic only becomes op when you use perks, other wise waering armor or anything does not affect it.

OMG. Playing Skyrim right now....

I discovered the most awesome thing ever. Of all time.

Spoiler

Ok, so I went to Farklth(?) to do a quest. As I walked up to the town, a guard asked if I had seen a dog. I said no, and he told me about a blacksmith in town, looking for one. So when I talked to him, he gave me some meat to attract the dog, so me 'n' good ol' Vigilence (my dog) walked out onto the road. I saw the dog approaching and I was like "Awww... so cute."

Then it talked.

OMGOMGOMGOMOMGOMGOMG!

He was pretty darn cool, with humor too. My first reply was "Did you just talk?" He said, "We have flying reptiles breathing fire and two-legged cat people running around and you are surprised by me?"

All of this with an awesome accent... then I remembered who he was.

Spoiler

Barbas, Vile's dog, from Oblivion.

So, at the moment, I am following him, to the shrine. Now I must go back to the game and try not clone a real talking Barbas....

If only I could get a human voice box... with the body of a dog... gonna need some android parts...

Facts: Traveling the North coast of Skyrim will remind you of Slothsiem. And it is great.
Beware, there is a powerful wizard in a northern barrow thingy. He was a ***** to kill at level 15 and he has a very powerful, valuble staff of firebolt.

Questions, what do I do in Night Caller Temple to stop Dawnstar from having nightmares?

 

[EHKOS]

How do you buy a house? I can't figure it out...

FACT: Frost Trollz are Internet Trollz... they're just there to come in, piss you off, and fuck your shit up!

Also: Beware of Folgunther! While doing the Forbidden Legend quest I was trapped in there and had to restart the game (gate was glitched and wouldn't open and I had to save files outside Folgunther)...

Moral of the Story- Do manual saves every once and a while so you don't get Enraged...

Talk to a Jarl's assistant to buy a house.

For Dawnstar, you have to accompany someone into night caller temple.

Spoiler

He's a priest of Mara in Dawnstar,don't remember his name but i found him in the inn

Questions.
How do you run faster : Jump Higher?

dunno about jumping, but there's a specific sprint button on console which uses stamina. jumping: idk.

Don't assume that all giants are friendly.

Seriously, don't.

are there any giants that are friendly? I try going up to them with my weapons sheathed and they still fight me. Which led to many a death whilst fighting 2 giants and 3 mammoths at the same time

giants are neutral until you go near their mammoths. at least the 2 that i've seen have been.

no, i saw a giant on its own and it tried to kill me.

 

[Supertegwyn]

To run faster, jump higher you need the latest energy drink.

Guess I have a question; Is there a max level in the game? I assume you can't max out every specialisation and get all the perks with one char?
Would be so awesome.

There is a sort of cap at 50, whereas you can still level up but it is much slower. At 70 leveling stops however, but you can max out all skills.

Ah, I see. Thank you.

Another fact; a lot of guards in nearly all cities used to be adventurers like you. But they all got an arrow in the knee

I like to imagine they all got injured at the same time and travelled to the same village together.

*That village looked on in fear as the army of limping adventurers descended upon them.*

Not just in this game but a general trend I notice in some *bad guys*. They hide at the back of the dungeon and still gob off at you like they have a chance of beating you despite the fact you slaughtered their entire army to get to them.

The majority of the guards i've walked past have a cousin that's out slaying Dragons. Now either they are all related and that is one hell of a massive family that all have the same cousin that is killing Dragons ooooor someone is going to make a fortune selling *sorry your cousin was eaten by a giant flying lizard* cards.

 

[WolfThomas]

I found a sword that had moon damage, can you enchant sun damage on a sword? Can you have both on a sword. I want to wield Anduril.

Another fact; a lot of guards in nearly all cities used to be adventurers like you. But they all got an arrow in the knee

A lot of Whiterun guards figure that "If Whiterun's guards can kill a dragon, so can they."

 

[Ranorak]

How do you grab things? I want to put bucket on peoples heads.

I asked the same question a few posts up.
And I got a great reply.

It's holding the E button on the pc.
Or the A button on Xbox360 controller.

Figure it's the same for the PS3, whatever button lets you pick up things to your inventory.
Just hold it to pick it up in front of you.

I'm trying to find that one lady in the temple of Mara that will sell me a trinket that'll allow me to marry people... It's been pretty difficult so far.

Because the dude who sells it is a guy.

 

[Al-Bundy-da-G]

How do you buy a house? I can't figure it out...

Make friends with the Jarl, do a bunch of quests for him, then talk to his advisor, or him, and buy the house.

Then you can purchase things for your house.

And no, you can't store everything in every little box and crate you find, like Oblivion.

Is there at least a giant pit I can fill with gold and loot? I want to dive in like Scrooge McDuck.

Normally you can't drop quest items anywhere

The game is random about this. Once I found out that regular merchants won't buy stolen items, I dropped all of those in the general store in Whiterun. It's still there. Weeks later (ingame). Every I go in there I have to chuckle. There's this ocean of pots and kettles I have to climb over to get to the merchant.

Magic is always either disgustingly overpowered or pathetically underpowered. I've yet to see a single game that balanced magic with the other options.

Yes.

Mostly because Mana is made a commodity. I expect Magic to be more potent than the Blade, everything else is "counter-intuitive". Gandalf should be doing more damage than Aragorn. To balance it out, Gandalf should have a hard time buying Mana/Magicka potions and rue the costliness of killing vermin.

Magic really becomes unfair, when spells are introduced, that make up for the mage's shortcomings. Lockpicking spells to one-up the thief, armor enhancing spells that trump the warrior.

Thieves always get disrespected. So far, just about every RPG had situations, where you couldn't sneak, hide, backstab or deceive your way to success, where you just had to pounce on a mighty foe and you wished, you had invested your XP into heavy armor or firestorm, because that Troll can't be pick-pocketed.

Hint: Swap round your sprint and walk keys. I don't understand why developers keep using buttons that aren't shift for sprinting.

HOT KEYS!!!! HOT KEYS!!! Add an item to favourites, open favorates, highlight and press a number.

Whenever I've tried that, the hotkeys get cleared whenever I use them.

Anyone know how to get to the lighthouse in Solitude?

You have to leave the city and walk around the coast.

...and finally, just because I want as many people to see this as possible:
