Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

[Armor and Sword]

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

So after returning to Markreth and finishing off the Forsworn quest line I travelled south east to finally find Red Eagles Sword. That was a pretty awesome side quest and I read the book on his legend to get in the spirit for that adventure.

After taking that sword I traveled home to Whiterun to get some much needed rest and also housekeeping with inventory, smithing and alchemy. Something though drew me to travel south east towards Riften.

I am now a full fledged member of the Thieves Guild and I love this guilds questline!

I am really into being a sneak and thief! Here I am a full on destruction mage now picking locks, looting and murdering. I am attached to this guild right now and will see the entire quest line through till I head back to the main quest line which brought m to Riften in the first place.


This game is just insane. I don't see an end to it for oh I don't know, another 100 hours? I am now 103 hours in (only a level 30) and all I have done is become the Archmage and Thane of Whiterun. I have so much left to do....such so much.

Really squishy level 2 mostly-Destruction Mage. Wow ... the game is beautiful, smooth, and I can tell it is going to be a blast to play. I ordered the CE Guide on Amazon today for 24$. Cause this is the type of game that I will get completely lost and confused if I don't have some guidance.

Went into the Hated Steam Camp ... got totally owned. Think I need to up my skills in the outside world before I go into caves.

I don't even know where to begin, but I think I am going to make a trip to the University right now.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I've run into a slight "problem".

I was in Marketh(but this applies to every city) and after completing a quest(and even during)...

Spoiler

The city guards were telling me not to stick my nose Marketh-SilverBlood business and was eventually accused of murder(I think or maybe just being arrested for something else...but it was definitely quest related)...and the guards attacked me when I wouldn't go. Killed them and now they are all after me which is fine.....except there are of course certain NPC's which cannot be killed, so basically, I can never go back into Marketh as I cannot kill all the witnesses.

That's bogus IMO. If I want to cut myself off from a certain storyline, so be it.

Yep, this is a big known bug with the Forswon Conspiracy quest. There are so many bugs related to that quest. Best advice I could give you is that if you have a past save, reload.

Yep....I tried that first...saw what happened and reloaded my previous save and went about it in a different manner. Sucks I had to do that...but I did not want to have to deal with that everytime I set foot in Marketh.

Not really sure it's a bug.

Spoiler

You find out that a large part of the city is corrupt, including many of the guards, and at that point in the quest you're supposed to get arrested and get thrown in jail on purpose in order to clear your name of the murder.
If you oppose the guards, and the controlling power of Markarth, then it would make sense you wouldn't be welcome in the city.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Yeah, my Forswon Conspiracy quest is bugged too,

Spoiler

the guards don't frame and arrest me for the dudes murder when I go to the temple.

Now that, yes, is bugged.

True, but I was going off of

Spoiler

If you resist arrest from the guards at the Shrine of Talos, instead of accepting jail time through dialogue, the guards will stay there even after finishing this quest and the No One Escapes Cidhna Mine quest. Entering the Shrine of Talos will prompt them hostile and when exiting the shrine again, Markarth will revert back to the state it was in before the escape of Cidhna Mine (Markarth guards in the street).

Link has quest spoilers, but if you have the bug, you probably know this already. I like that line of thinking though Mabster, if you can't go back on a bugged quest. This bug also prevents you from

Spoiler

becoming Thane.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Does the enemy level up with you or something?? I swear some of the things that were easy to kill early in the game are now much harder.

What are things to stay away from as a low-level guy? There's quite a bit of terrain I want to explore, but I don't want to rush up a herd of mammoths and giants again. Hellooooo, stratosphere.

Except that if I went into say a house with 5 people in it...and then murdered one....and left, I would have a bounty and expect to be arrested for murder....but the game lets you murder all 5 and removes the bounty and the chance to be arrested because you've killed all the witnesses(I'm pretty sure that's how it works, I don't murder anyone usually)....but in this(and many) case, there are NPC's in the game that are considered "vital" to the game and cannot be killed(at all!!) and therefore there are always witnesses.
I can easily dispatch of everyone except those guys.
My point is...I should be able to go into Marketh and simply murder everyone if I wanted.
(my loss on the quest lines...so be it.)

Yes, most enemies level up but are capped at a certain point. Bandits become bandit outlaw, bandit thug.... Up to bandit mauraders.
