Good practice with your companion mule in a dungeon is to tell them to wait around a corner, they usually come charging to your "rescue" if you tell them to wait in line of sight of you.

I did the entry to mage college quest ASAP to get my own room and plenty of storage space in the novice section.
 
awh balls! I forgot you don't actually NEED a house.

I got a room in the mage college and the companions bunker. Oh well, got me a private crib now for teh_ladies. ^_^
 
Anybody else having an issue with thiefs guild left falmer eye quest not initiating?? I am stuck with this. If anyone knows the console command to activate the quest that would also help, else I got to wait for the patch.

Check out uesp.net. They have a lot of info on any TES game and should have the console commands and codes that you are looking for.
 
Got another broken quest: Waters of Oblivion. I'm supposed to get this book for the Orc in the Mages' Arcaneum from a chest in a dungeon (can't recall the name). The problem is that I've already cleared this particular dungeon ages ago and I've had this book in my inventory since then. The quest marker keeps pointing towards the (now empty) chest that I found the book in and when I go talk to the Orc there is no option to complete the quest. I also can't put the book back in the chest and take it again to see if that works since you can't drop quest items. Since this is for my character on the PS3 I also can't use console commands to try and fix it. It's not really a big deal, but I wan't to complete this quest so that Orc can (hopefully) make me blood-kin.

Pulled of the most Epic bow shot yesterday (not as epic as the guy shooting the arrow up in the air but close) Was in the Riften Market when a thief, chased by a bunch of guards and towns folk rushed past. Took me a second to realize what was going on, the moment I heard thief I drew my bow thinking someone was referring to me (even though i didn't steal anything). Thief was heading for the graveyard, Pulled back an arrow, zoomed in (which thanks to the perk slows time by 50%) and left fly, holding the zoom button so the arrow flew at half speed, hit the thief from across the market just before he could round a corner. Unfortunately I had Ancient Nord arrows equipped (Which are my short to medium rage arrows of choice while sneaking) and the shot just staggered him which allowed the guards to catch up and beat his brains in.... If it doesn't sound that epic its coz its one of those things that had to be seen to appreciate. Especially since the arrow sliced through the crowed, missing a guard by a hairs breath.

Going to get me one of THESE so I can record my gaming and upload cool shit like that.
 
@ Fenix sounds epic to me :), Anyone know where to find Eorlund have been searching to give hom Vilkas sword but can't find the bugger.....

Awh man, that's pure love right there.

I was getting all uptight about my sucky daggers this weekend, but realised that I absolutely adore my archery. I even use it in close quarters combat, thanks to the slow time effect.

The best shot I pulled off was last night when I was sneaking up to a compound. A guard in the far off distance ran across a bridge/arch from right to left. I zoomed in with the slow time effect and let rip of an arrow with a long range shot and aimed a couple of meters to the left of him. He ran straight into it and toppled over the side of the bridge.

It looked so awesome, barely being able to see the guard's body (without zoom) fall off the bridge. The most awesome part was when I finally made my way through the entrance, I found the guard lying in the archway with my arrow stuck in his throat. :D

That roxio recorder looks quite epic for xbox!
 
Go left behind the companion mead hall (jorvasskar or whatever) you should see a ramp or stairs going up to his forge.
Also, your quest target should point you to him if it's the active quest.

Hehe Sound like a pretty sweet shot Voicy. Even dual Legendary Ebony Dagger wouldn't do it for me in close combat. I prefer my Legendary Deadric & Ebony War Axe dual wield for that. Bow for most of my time & Blade of Woe (Legendary) for up close stealth kills. Absolutely love it when I use Nightclock of Nocturnal to go invisible sneak up behind a unsuspecting bandit and do a take down, especially if i get the kill cam. Pop visible, slash throat, pop invisible again.

Since most of my stealth bow kills are one shots I try and pull off more complex shots. Like hitting the furthest most NPC in a room, have his mates go investigate then take him out. Also sometime take out the furthest enemy then let the remaining one come my direction then hit them in the chest and it looks like they got hit in the chest by cannon.
 
My stealth kills only work some of the time. Even if I'm not detected, I end up bashing the guy's skull in. Should you just do a trigger tap or hold it in?

I have fire/frost on my daggers, so when I'm not depleted, it makes it look like I'm Wesley Snipes, slaying vampires who disintegrate at the touch of my blade. :D

I've only used poisons on my arrows when fighting dragons, since they spend half the time flying around throwing their toys out the cot anyway.

Jip no quest target that is the problem maybe a bug, but thanks will go and look there

I had this kinda problem with some void salt mission.. Just go to the chest.. Open it.. Take everything (the take all button) the exit the cave and go talk to him.. That should fix it...

Well I have a legendary Deadric bow that does like 96 damage per hit (+ whatever damage the arrow does). With the Ancient Nord Arrows, which I have about 500 of, it does 106 X3 for sneak so on Adept most things die when I hit it and if they dont I have enough time for a second shot to finish the job thanks to that slow time ability. Also my Bow skill is like 70.

Tap does light damage, Hold does heavy attack that uses stamina (light attack doesn't)

I wait for the dragons to land then just pepper them with Arrows of get in close and get mah Axes out.

Dont use poison at al, saving it for the main or bigger quests.
 
Now that I've reached the epitome of defense on my Deadric armour and almost maxed out my one handed skill I think I'll start focusing on questing again. Which one to move on to is the hard question.

hehe no man, I'm referring to dagger stealth kills. Sometimes I get the slit-throat effect, other times nothing happens and I just hack at the guy from behind. Not very assassin'y.

trigger firing a bow is lol. Your arrow travels about 2.5m. You can turn your enemy into that dude from hellraiser by doing that without him even noticing. :p

I decided to do this as well. Get my char to a point where Playing is less about lvling and more about just being the best i can be. Which is why I havent upped the difficulty yet. If I want a challenge I play Dark Souls. Skyrim is all about enjoyment and the sheer pleasure of being this master assassin that can sneak into any caslte/dungeon/cave take out everything inside without anybody knowing he is there.
 
So I feel like a fool but can you buy a house in solitude?

Yes you can. 12000. You just have to do the Wolfskull cave mission for Falk Firebeard and then anothet mission for the Jarl. It's not worth it IMO though. The best house is the one in Windhelm (if the blood on the ice quest doesn't break like mine) or the one in Markarth (my personal favourite).

I checked all of them out since there is a bug on the PS3 you can exploit to "buy" them all (plus decorations) for free.

Oh lol.:o I think the kill cam is only when you get a critical. I get it lost times but still get the odd one when I see the slit throat animation but from first person perspective. What daggers you using?

Yep, 25K gold. I want a house in Wind Helm since I've decided, after long deliberation that I might joint the Storm Cloaks.
