One of my characters was a wizard who wore the Archmage's Robes. I like those because even with the hood you can still wear a circlet (and therefore a dragon priest mask). It was a fun build but certainly not as physically durable as the others. I have found that the main usefulness of the Mage ...

Ysolda will actually inherit The Bannered Mare if Hulda dies, not Belethor's shop. She and Hulda both make mention of this. She CAN end up in Belethor's though, but she has no merchant dialogue because she isn't supposed to be there. Even if she takes over the inn, her dialogue is bugged so you can ...

The bent dwemer scrap metal, large decorative dwemer strut, large dwemer plate metal, large dwemer strut, solid dwemer metal, and small dwemer plate metal can all be smelted into ingots. Depending on the size of the ruin, the carry weight of all of that can be considerably high, so a follower is ...

Yeah, selling single high-value items will grant you more XP than selling a bunch of lesser items. For example, selling an item for $1000 will grant more experience than selling ten $100 items - either individually or collectively. Recently I was selling my stupidly powerful potions I'd made to ...

The stalhrim deposits DO respawn but I think it takes a good while. The richest deposit is the stalhrim source that the map points out (close to the very place where you get the map from the Thalmor), and then there's two more deposits (I think to the NW) near some horkers. There's also a couple in ...

Hmmm. It looks like clearing Driftshade Refuge at some earlier time can cause this. Apparently, one fix is to load a save from BEFORE you started 'Blood's Honor' and then wait 30 days for Driftshade Refuge to reset. Then you can play through Blood's Honor and Purity Of Revenge should start. You'll ...

Yeah, I snooped around a little bit, and it seems that having any other radiant quest can cause her to not have the right dialogue. This means that you'll have to do those quests, but I get the whole trying-to-be-good thing. I assume you're trying to become Thane, so why not just help other people ...

If I had to guess, I'd say that when the article mentions 'poison', it's referring to the effect that is triggered by a tripwire or something, and NOT a poison that's applied to a weapon. I don't have much experience with this though, as I have never used Miraak's set to achieve 100% spell ...

Hmmm. Not sure about this one. For the last few builds where I've used it, my go-to way of powering up the Ebony Blade was to give money to the drunk beggar in Markarth and then kill him ten times by raising him with the Ritual Stone. That's clearly an exploit, I know, but it's the fastest way I've ...

As for 1-3, the appropriate articles on both the Wiki and UESP make no mention. My advice would be to run some tests yourself.

For #4, the article simply says it's a small chance. So I'd say no more than 10% of the time.

For #5, I'd say that depends. It weighs only 10lbs same as a regular dwarven ...

Hmmm. If you complete the 5/5 favors quest before Elisif asks you to, that will cause the bug where you have to help a sixth person in order to progress. Since you said the person in the GameFAQs article was having the same issue as you, and they said it was NOT the aforementioned bug, I'll assume ...

Yeah, I recently ran into this with finding an Amulet of Dibella. My advice would be to go to the Radiant Raiment in Solitude and check their stock. If they don't have it, then just wait two days and check again. It may take a little time, but they should eventually have it as they always seem to ...

I agree with some of the other users that neither choice makes that much of a difference in terms of gameplay. I sided with the Blades only once just to experience that facet of the game, and never again. I personally find Esbern and Delphine (especially the latter) to be more brash and impulsive ...

One part that was creepy for me was sneaking into Castle Volkihar with Serana. I was with the Dawnguard the first time so I was behind enemy lines AND exploring derelict portions of an already eerie structure. I also found the temple of Auriel in the Forgotten Vale to be an awe-inspiring sight when ...

One particularly funny thing occurred in a bandit-held cavern. I can't remember the name of the place, but the head honcho was drunk and challenging the others to a brawl. There were a few cages with animals inside, one of which was opened by a lever. Instead of using said lever, I picked the door's ...

With my four previous characters I've stuck with the Greybeards. It was really not for practical reasons but ideological ones. Delphine and Esbern are beyond stupid. So Paarthurnax must die because he did some bad stuff ages before? Um, what?! He may have been Alduin's second-in-command, but he ...

Currently on character number 5. He is a reclusive lvl 70 Dunmer wizard (inspired by Master Neloth) who lives at Highpoint Tower Northeast of Raven Rock. Skilled in Archery and One-hand, but otherwise magic-oriented. He is more-or-less a good man, but is also a bit of a mad scientist not necessarily ...

Good choices, but those were more like 'holy s***!' moments for me. The first time sneaking into Castle Volkihar with Serana gave me the heebie jeebies. Knowing that a powerful Vampire Lord and his progeny were inside made me pretty uneasy. Come to think of it, many of my goosebump moments had to do ...

Hmmmm....interesting. Did you lose EVERYTHING in the container or just certain items? If you lost everything, the only thing I can think of that could cause that is using a container that got moved or changed upon upgrading the house with the drafting table. I personally have not had problems with ...

Yeah, if you search the forums for the topic 'Multiple Companions', you should run across an earlier time when I answered this question. You can essentially 'outrun' the dialogue that an NPC says when being asked to accompany you, meaning you invite a second person to follow you before the first has ...

Thanks to everyone for the advice. I thought about using other people as thralls, and I even collected a bunch of permanent corpses (like Orchendor) that I keep at Windstad Manor. I just like the Vamps because they have the glowing eyes and retain their dialogue. It just seems that they would be so ...

Hello everyone!

I have a question about obtaining certain thralls in Skyrim. For the last couple of days I've been trying to find a couple of Master Vampires that I can reanimate. The thing that bites (pardon the pun) is that since my character is level 81, the boss vamps I'm running into are ...

There is an exploitable glitch on 360 that allows for multiple REAL followers. And by 'real' I mean they can accept commands and carry items just like any other follower, as opposed to just being summoned or temporary due to a current quest. If you youTube search 'Skyrim Glitch - Multiple Followers ...

Hello again to everyone!!

I've run into a problem with both KotN and SI that I hope someone can help me with. When I was retrieving the Boots of the Crusader from Kynareth's Grotto, I found that the stone slab blocking the entrance would not lower the way it was supposed to after the bear was dealt ...

Has it worked before, and then quit working?f ...or has it never worked for you?

It will never take you above what you can have normally. If you are full, then you will still get the Red Line indicating that it is working, but it will not give you more that what you can have. It will only restore ...
