Hmm.. would it be possible to create a mod that allowed better control over dragged objects? You know, the age old "I wish I could place these god damned books on the table" problem. I'm pretty sure that in Oblivion you could drag objects from specific ends, wherever you initially picked it up from. On the PC version of Skyrim it seems to always center your hold on a set point, which is frustrating. Any solutions? It's not that big of a deal obviously, but I do think that there are a handful of us who like to decorate their own little homes wherever they may be.

The items flying everywhere thing is very annoying as well. I JUST WANT TO FILL A KETTLE TO THE BRIM WITH SOUL GEMS.

You are not alone.

Then walking back I see his corpse drop out of the sky again.  This time directly on top of the carriage guy in front of the city.

Bjorlam the wagon guy: Just another day in Skyrim.

Wait, what?  Why haven't you done the "dance" with him?

Random tangent: Show of hands, who has accidentally let loose an Unrelenting Force while trying to nudge objects out of the way? I was in the Bard's College library looking for books I hadn't seen before. I saw that one was hidden under another book and I couldn't mouse over it, so I thought I would drag the top book a bit. Cue me hitting 'z' rather than 'e'. You have to hold down the key to move things so rather than a paltry Fus, I let loose the full Fus Ro Dah.

-sheepishly raises hand-

Happened in the whiterun Jarl's hall... its why they hate me forever and don't even offer me a prison stay or bounty payment when I show up.

I need some help with the "A Cornered Rat" quest if anyone is willing to lend a hand.

I REALLY don't want to help Brynlof, half because I hate the snide bastard and half because I have neither the sneak or the pickpocket skills to do the quest. Is there any way I can locate  Elbern without helping him?

I guess add me to the giants are wimps club. Level seven too, not as impressive as Rozy's level three kill but still.

I know I have spent soooo long in Fallout3 trying to maneouver my assorted weapons and junk onto various tables and such in my house...

And yes, I was feeling a bit disheartened by the whole 'Questgiver NPCs are unkillable no matter how remote the chance that I ever decide to complete this shitty questline' problem, so shelved my main character (you know, the one I was writing journal entries of in the lovely book that came with the game) and made a new, completely different one.
How completely different? New race, (Breton) new focus, (Magic/Speech) and new gender- Female. I'm such a nerd.
I made her just about as ugly as possible (not very) to be less creepy, though, and it's interesting to see the various different dialogue options/outfits female characters can get. Magic is starting to grow on my bloodthirsty warrior heart, too!

Damn, my first quest-breaking bug and it's on a main quest. In the "Diplomatic Immunity", everything works fine until I tell Delphine that I'm ready to leave with the carriage. At that point the game freezes as in many other "cutscenes" (ie. You can look around and use esc menu, but you cannot move, use inventory, shouts, weapons etc.) but after that, nothing happens. Still haven't found solution to that one *sigh*

I had that happen to me after I exited from an enchanting table, and saving and loading (and saving and exiting and restarting the game and loading) didn't fix it.
Oddly, pressing w released me. I don't think I even have w bound to anything (I moved forward/back to s/x).

(I was lucky with my remapping. My changes weren't so drastic as to break everything, even though I moved e to c, and inventory to v. Not sure if I moved anything else. Show favorites menu is Q.)

[Cthulhu]

I also had issues in that quest.  Mine wasn't a bug though, a dragon showed up right after I talked to Delphine but I'd already given all my gear to Malbor so I had no way of fighting it back.  I turned into a spoiler to try to fight it but that gave me a 100 gold bounty and it ended up killing me.

[Bdthemag]

Hm, odd bug on a quest im doing. Your suppose to report back to the quest giver, who is now dead but the only problem is it doesn't seem to recognize that your actually there seeing the dead quest giver.

I tried to fill a basket with coins..... The coins passed through the bottom of the basket and into the Floorboards... T_T

So I think I may have been a little harsh on alchemy before. I'm starting to enjoy it quite a bit, and being helped along by things like Krosis and alchemy enhancing magic items, my brews are starting to get good.

I just brewed a 9 second paralysis poison that also deals some 10 to 15 points of direct poison damage, using Imp Stool, Canis Root and Skeever Tail. 9 seconds of paralysis is about 4 seconds longer than I need to kill most things. And I've only got a 35ish alchemy skill (with perks up to poisoner.)

Now to go test it on some giants and watch them fall like they've been poleaxed.

Putting dynamic physics objects inside dynamic physics objects is a recipe for disappointment (or hilarity.) It's like trying to put a tiny ball bearing on top of a giant ball bearing when they both have the same mass

Some objects are just poorly built too. Circlets don't seem to want to stay put. I tried laying my alchemy circlet out on the alchemy bench, and every time I came back into the house it was on the floor in the exact same spot. Also my gem pile seems to shift around at random. Pretty sure I'm going to come in one day and find it exploded, with gems stuck in every corner of the house.

Picked up the game a while ago, really enjoying hacking apart everything with my pair of home-forged war axes on my orc. I've ran in to a rather nasty bug, though, and if anyone has any idea how to fix it, I'd appreciate some help.

Spoiler: Companions quest line spoilers - beware! (click to show/hide)

I seem to be permanently stuck in third person view after becoming a werewolf and destroying the Silver Hand guys who killed Skjor. Rebinding the key for toggling it didn't work, neither did restarting the game or fast traveling or anything. Anyone experienced this?

Overall, I'm enjoying this game a lot. It has its flaws (interface, ugh!) but the world is a lot of fun and dragon slaying is suitably intense.

[Pnx]

I just completed the main storyline, and I think I'm done. I did the companions quest line and I don't really feel like getting involved in the war since those guys are all jerks.

Also, the game kinda feels a bit broke now that I've got that full set of enchanted daedric armour.

Plus there's only so much hitting stuff with an axe I can take.


The game is a solid B+ though. The dungeons are a lot less repetitive than in oblivion, and the story/game world is actually pretty interesting. I love the morally grey rebel vs empire war, although the evil elves lurking over to one side rubbing their hands with glee kinda ruins the effect a little. I mean, it's pretty damn obvious that it's all part of their Machiavellian scheme.

The one major gripe I have with the game (apart from the voice acting, which is something I'm willing to forgive since I don't think I could say many of these lines with a straight face anyway) is the levelling mechanics. They can make the game rather irritating.
It makes the difficulty of the game feel incredibly artificial, and it also tends to screw you over if you spent a lot of time levelling up alchemy and speechcraft. It's really very irritating, and the fact that you have to use your training allotment when you are given it is also pretty annoying, especially considering how expensive it is, and how little money you have to start with.


Incidentally, this, is excellent boss music for fighting Alduin.

Are you still in werewolf form? I'm guessing not, but you never know. Werewolf form is fixed to third person only, but since you're fast travelling around I'm guessing you're not in wolf form anymore. I've got no idea how to fix it. Maybe try transforming again and waiting it out?
