Skryrim: Random Facts,Questions, and Help.

[Matthew Van Ryt]

There are some amazing randoms dungeons out there. Almost every cave/crevice/fort/hole-in-the-ground has a story. Dont be afraid to explore.
I came across some amazing items and stories by wandering around.

Magic is insanely Overpowered in the dragon slaying area. if you want to have a really easy time of dragon fights, go mage.

When stuck up on a mountain and you can't be bothered to walk all the way down it just jump into a fast flowing river and let the rapids and waterfalls take you down to the bottom. I have done this so many times and so far have had no damage, it also gets you down to the bottom really quick..Plus it's really quite fun

Random fact: Mudcrabs will kill steal.

I was fighting a dragon, but then it got distracted by something on the other side of a mountain. So I had to run around to keep the fight going. Once there, I found a dead mammoth, bear, and sabre tooth that the dragon had apparently just roasted. So I continued to fire away at the dragon with my bow and got it down to a sliver of health. At this moment, a lowly mudcrab walks up to the dragon, snaps at it once, and kills it before I can get my next shot off.

I'm just glad the dragon souls don't end up going to whoever actually makes the killing blow...

The greatest story ever told.

After a fight, if you need to heal up, dual-wield Healing and go into third person view. Proceed to then imagine your character exclaiming "and not a single fuck was given" due to the awesome stance.

Anybody know where i can find some invisible and paralysis spells?

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.

The hypothetical max level is around 70, but that isn't set in stone. It also depends on your character build, how many skill points you start off with at level 1. If you get all your skills to level 100 then you can't level up anymore, but that is much harder than it sounds.

Also, after you get the horn for the graybeards you have a conversation option with the only one that will talk yo you, he will now tell you the location of words of power. Every time you find the one he tells you about, you can go back to him and he will tell you about another. I have done this three of four times. Hope it helps.

They will say something like "HOT HOT HOT" and you will be like "Mubcrabs, nasty creatures" and then you skip off to the temple, get married, get bored and murder your loved one.

At least that's how it happened for me and my giant Nord with a bigger sword!.... I felt threatened.... My quest is to get a bigger sword than her....

Hey chicka bump bump!

I almost got busted for reading forums at work when I read that. I needed that laugh though.

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.

Get to the Thieves Guild to relieve yourself of hot items

I have one problem at the moment, I wonder if anyone else is having the same. My enemies don't seem to respawn. It's fairly easy to tell if I have been on a certain path before because of the corpses littered over the roads and forest. At least they don't stand up like statues as they did in Oblivion, but this is puzzling me. I have played something like 25 hours, don't know how many in game days that is and I still ran into those wolves I killed after I exited Helgen. The bandit spot near Whiterun is littered with half naked outlaws. Am I supposed to give a burial or something

EDIT
Just loaded my save, I have played 42 hours. I do hope those enemies will start respawning soon...

1. How do you parry when your other hand is occupied? For instance, I have a sword in my right hand and a spell in my left. How do I parry with my sword? Likewise, how do I parry when I'm dual wielding? If the answer is "You don't!", that's just retarded...

2. Assuming that I can't parry unless I have a 2H weapon or a Shield, is there any benefit to using a single 1H weapon? Any at all? Also, is dual wielding worth it? I know I can attack with both weapons at once, but it seems a bit... gimmicky to me. Wouldn't I be better of with a 2H weapon which would let me block attacks as well?

3. Is there any point in using elements other than fire? Lightning and frost cost me more magicka for the same damage, and I don't see any effect that draining the enemy's stamina might have...

Whenever I try to put baskets or buckets on someones head first of all the object flies away like it's lighter than air, secondly if I do finally manage to get a basket on someone's head the first small movement they do makes it fly off. Is that just a PC physics issue?


Also regarding the giants, it seems that everyone wants a big brother giant friend, but they are all meanies. Wonder if we'll ever find out what pissed them off so much?

First of all dont put buckets, on there heads its mean! (and game breaking)

Also the giant have been hit in the nuts to many times, and now there angry at all the little people.
No idea why, but if you do get a giant friend (pun intended) they could not follow you into caves and cities, so it would be rather game breaking (Again).

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.

Hmm....

If such a pit does not exist in-game then..... a mod.... the one they fear.... in their tongue, it is DovaPit.... DRAGONPOOL.
.....

Gimme a sec while I pour everything into my house at white run....
I love the loft.

Well, Frost slows down enemies, which is very useful when melee enemies are coming at you like a freight train.Not sure about lighting, i know it drains stamina but it's not very useful imo, much less useful than frost anyways.

Lighting drains mana, it says so RIGHT IN THE DISCRIPTION. And by draining stamina if you attack them you can make them stagger more.

But..... Sadly i agree fire is by far the most usful.

Here's a question.

In Oblivion, Fallout 3 and New Vegas, you could pick up items and carry them to replace them.
Not going to your inventory but just float in front of you.

How do you do that on the Xbox360 version?

Can't seem to find the button.

Hold down A, took me a while to figure it out on accident. I was listening to an NPC while I was looting and forgot to let go of the button and bam, "why didn't that go into my inventory, what did I... oh now I feel like an idiot"

 

[EHKOS]

Everyone needs to go to the College of Winterhold, and then pass it. Keep going north and find an island. Talk to the crazy dude inside. Have fun with your new five hour long quest.

Also, I found a goat walking on the bottom of the ocean
