Bears and sabre cats will eat your lunch early on.

Especially the cave and snowy variety.

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.)

Except still not a bug but an unfortunate side effect of intentional programming.

I do agree though that invincible NPC shouldn't exist. It'd make the game much more real and would punish people who go on unrealistic (or realistic I guess depending on play style) killing sprees.

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).

That just makes me confused.

Spoiler

If you resist arrest, by killing them or running away, then you can't finish the quest or the escape the mine quest. Killing the guards in the shrine, at least for me, didn't make the rest of Markarth hostile towards me.
If you run from the guards how do you initiate and finish the escape the mine quest?

I think all this dialog proves for sure is that quest line is full of holes whether they are bugs or not. Luckily for me once I realized I had broken the quest line by my decision in the shrine I was able to use the automated file that was created upon entering the shrine and exited before the guards initiated dialog.
Went on to become Thane and the quest line is still in my log to go back to at some point.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

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.

Falmer can also be pretty tough early in the game, especially when you get attacked by 2 or 3 at once.

Yeah, everything's dangerous in groups. Even the first story dungeon's Draugr can mess you up if they gang up on you.

Well, I'm not exactly traveling alone. I have Lydia when she can keep up with my fast elven feet.

I never said it was a bug.....but it might as well be if the programming is forcing me to fight against the guards.....then labeling me a murderer....then keeping me from murdering everyone who might be able to finger me!

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Any tips for fighting the Dwemer spheres and basically any other Dwemer autobot.

Spoiler

I'm in blackreach right now finishing part of the main quest and I'm getting absolutely handled by these guys. I'm a 2H Nord and the dwemers are the toughest things I've come across thus far.

The strategy guide is a lifesaver. I would have been stuck in the Golden Claw quest at the snake-whale puzzle without it. I do have to say the method of grabbing items is extremely cumbersome-I have to do it repeatedly to put items in my inventory.

You ain't seen inventory issues until you have a couple hundred soul gems clogging up your Misc inventory.

Nettlebane

Spoiler

Swiping with nettlebane will clear certain roots. Just make sure you're close enough, the dagger has a very short range.

Also,in the future if you're asking about specific things in specific quests try to use spoiler tags uf you can. Some people don't want you read anything regarding quests they haven't been on.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Ok I'm stuck!!

Doing the side mission "The Blessings of Nature" and I'm at the tree of Nettlebane...

However, I can't get to the stupid tree because of it's giant roots in the way. I tried swiping at it with my sword and the nettlebane dagger looking weapong and nothing. The strategy guide says "Some quick swipes to the tree's gigantic root structure, which is blocking the path to the tree trunk..."

Plz help, I don't want to leave until i got it, was a fairly long journey to get here

Spoiler

Pretty sure you just hack away at the giant roots with Nettlebane, and they should retract.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I tried searching for this answer but kept getting lost reading about what others have been doing... how do you sell stolen items?
