What soul gem are you using to fill?

You can always buy one off a merchant.

Either get the Dawnguard quest line out of the way early, or activate the mod where you can reanimate NPCs. If you keep putting off the Dawnguard story line, vampires will kill off most, if not all, of the NPCs in a location- including some that give secondary quests, and shop keepers/merchants. They will kill of almost all of the merchants and blacksmiths in Whiterun. It can be a monumental PITA.



My first skill to 100 was pickpocket, so I stole everyone's clothes. When Dawnguard came out, nobody had clothes or weapons, so everyone died. My game was so, so glitched after that. Dragons would just fall out of the sky dead in front of my property, I couldn't marry, Kodiak Whitemain (sp) couldn't speak, and somehow horkers ended up chilling in the marshes.

really enjoyed the depth of the Thieves Guild quest line as well though. Has always been a favorite right along with Dark Brotherhood, though not at all so deliciously sadistic.


Thieves guild has been a really fun quest line. I just got the nightingale armor and that might look the most in the game.

I've been playing a battlemage in heavy armor all game but I'm rolling with that right now just because.

Cajun, you get the black star soul gem yet? That + a soul trap weapon means you don't really have to worry about soul gems at all.

I always used the bow for that. Run around sticking them. I think I found a rock to get on where they couldn't get me and it was like shooting fish in a barrel. It's been awhile though.

Bought it on sale for ps4, should I play vanilla or with mods? I’ve never played before so I wasn’t sure if vanilla is the way to go for your first time and because of trophies.

This is a good one. I did sneak; and that made me basically invisible. Which was cool when stealing things and sneak attacking.

don't let the beginning cut scene play through scene blahness fool you. I was amazed at dawnguards hidden castle fortress from 100 years ago, and now I just found the place where you find the priests special knife and carve tree barq, so beautiful, the graphics, natural hot springs and birds singing are unreal. I can't believe it puts BOTW to shame.

I don't care about the trophies so I'm doing mods my first play through. Some graphics improvement, extra blood & kill scenes.. Stuff like that. The only "cheat" mod I'm using allows me to carry anything and everything I want. I didn't want to have to deal with a carry limit.

that is what annoys me the most asking companion to carry that one magic fighter with an M always bitches I like the vampire chick following me she is badass. I just lost her in the 5 caves finding the bow.

Picked this up for the first time on PC last year. Spent 100 hours modding the shite out of it, played it for about 40 hours and never picked it back up again. But hey, the trees in my game looked super realistic!

Buying a house gives you all the room you need (chests) to make you walk normally. Hated that shite too

This thread made me start a replay of this game.

Greatest Game Ever IMHO. Nothing else comes close.
