There are variations on how many words appear on a wall. I have found two separate alters that had all three words for one shout emblazoned on it.

Also, I'm hoping the Solitude house has ALL things Alchemy/Enchanting/Smithing areas because I almost have enough to buy it and it is very expensive.

Looks like only Alchemy and Enchanting table.

so is this game safe to buy on PC yet? i have read about a shite ton load of bugs for the pc version at release.
Have they patched them for the most part? the last PC game i bought at release was Civ V and it was so broken on day one that it really ruined it for me.



I'm level 23, no bugs encountered yet. I would imagine the user/pc would account for a ton of people's problems

aside from occasional game crashes and being unable to drop the instruments I got in the bard questline, I can't report many issues either

I'm running on an ssd though so a game crash is resolved in like 10 seconds assuming I've saved recently

Does this game end after the main quest? Does finishing the main quest lock off any quests?

How do I transmute stuff? I have the spell selected, but can't figure it out.

Just cast the spell. Whatever is in your inventory will be upgraded. You'll see a message in the top left corner like "Gold ore added" or whatever you're upgrading too.

No. As long as you don't kill important NPCs during the main questline, all the other quest lines will still remain.

I'm saving the main one for last.

Guess I'm not doing it right?

I have it selected, I hit R2, and it does my shout.

I have. I've been playing as a mostly two-handed hammer warrior in heavy plate. I got my smithing up like crazy and forged a set of Dwarven armor + Warhammer, and enemies barely touched me. I've since forged a Deadric Warhammer and an ebony plate set, and pretty much only magic touches me and most enemies die to a swing or two of my hammer.


Awesome. Yeah I'm in heavy with conj/restore....summon atronach, let it keep enemy busy....then thwack...right into the ground.

And that animation is awesome. Have you gotten the two handed decapitation perk? It's a really cool cinematic with the hammer.


Not yet. Since I'm conj, I want to max all 2h, but that's a lot of wasted skill points. I like hammers the most, but the bound 2hand is an axe....and swords apparently do the most damage. Can't wait to see it though.

I'm level 22 with a redgaurd one-handed/magic using/bow guy. He kicks arse but idk if I want to keep going with him. I want a character who is awesome at one maybe two things. What's the best race for magic? And I'v noticed the armor for those kind of guys don't arse much defense at all, how quick do they die if they get hit by some of these bosses?

Okay, I figured that out. Another newb question:

Trying to enchant some things.

I have Common Soul Gems, Petty Soul Gems, and Lesser Soul Gems, but when I go to the "Soul Gem" selection, it shows nothing.

Glitch? Or are those not the right type?

You have to use some kind of soul trap spell on an animal or creature. The most basic one is cast and is active on them for 60 seconds. If you kill them in that time you'll capture their soul in an empty soul gem. You can also get weapons that have soul trap on them.

Soul Gems need to be filled.

You need a weapon with soul trap or you need to cast the spell and then kill something with empty gems in your inventory.

I have a dagger I found with soul trap 10 seconds. By the way you can only soul trap animals and monsters with gems. You can kill humans if you have black soul gems.

The higher the gem type, the better and longer the enchantment lasts.

Enchanted weapons have a Charge. They will run out of the charge and you need to refill the charge using...filled soul gems.

I actually have a question about enchanting - does your skill level determine the strength of enchantments, or is it all in the soul gem? Mostly because I've got my full set of Daedric armor but I don't want to enchant them now at skill level 63 if I can give them stronger enchantments at 100.

I'm going to test a theory, if you are in lycan form and kill guards, do you still get a bounty and can they arrest you? If not I just found a way around a quest I am having trouble with.

Just made the long trek over to riften for part of the main quest and a bear came out to attack me in a mountain pass. I hopped off and beat it into submission and couldn't find my horse. WTF?

Just killed a douche named Gorm. Is he important? Looked like he mightve played a part in the Civil War. Had a map out. Also, traveled to the edge of the world, swam as far as I could out to the icebergs. Its ridiculous how far you can go out.
