I used to think so as well, then I took an arrow in the knee.
I have barely heard that saying through my play through, instead I constantly am asked if I feel well… Constantly…

God Bless,

Christopher.

…and then someone stole my sweetroll!

My favourite line has to be “May the ground tremble where you walk.” It makes me feel tall and heroic!
 
At first when I first started playing it I was a bit dissapointed, mainly because I thought it would be like Oblivion. But now I’m glad that it is so different. I’m really getting into it now. I do sort of prefer the landscape of Cyrodil better though.
 
Did anyone take my advice and look at the ‘possible DLC’ video? I forgot to mention the more freaking awesome things such as werebears, a lycanthropy skill tree, epic mounts like undead horses and dragons, mounted combat, new spear weapon class, goblin enemies, assassin vision, water/fire/ice arrows and pitch-black dungeons.

You have to go to the steward and purchase the clean up. Just a word of warning, the chest in the main room that has blood on it, if you have anything important in it you’ll want to move them before the clean-up. The chest disappears after the clean up.
Nope, I’m not getting any option for the clean-up; it’s still bugged. So are the two dagger display cases in the bedroom. Be warned people, don’t put any quest-related daggers in there as they are incredibly hard to remove - something to do with case clipping with the placed dagger. It took me 10 minutes to find the exact position and angle where you were able to retrieve it. Nearly couldn’t complete the alteration ritual spell quest…

Yea! That looked amazing.

I’ve been playing around with the Steam Workshop lately, it’s so easy to install the mods. I have dragon bone-crafted swords atm, as some new better dungeon ambient sounds. There is also one to fix the shadows in your Breezehome if anyone has bought it.

Christopher-

you have a disease. That’s why they keep saying that. It took me forever to figure that out. Take a potion for cure disease or go to a church and pray for a blessing.

yeesh, this game is fun, but that sentence made me feel weird.

I have always been curious how other people feel about going bad?
Well I’ve never played Skyrim, the most “advanced” game system I have is an old PS2, but I always enjoyed playing at the bad guys in games like Dynasty Warrirors. Guys like the cult leader Zhang Jiao or the tyranical dictator Dong Zhuo, both who committed unspeakable atrocities from a historical perspective, are just fun to beat people up with.

Dong Zhuo especially since he’s damn near a cartoon with a wicked looking sword, always talking about crushing filthy peasants and the like… its just laughable. Don’t take this stuff to seriously that you allow it to influence you in a negative way and you’ll be okay.
 
Hey, I can’t justify it. 😊

It just bothers me. I don’t know why. Certainly I don’t see anything wrong with fictional stealing by a fictional character in a highly fictional world.
I’ve felt similarly, playing Homefront and the few things you can or cannot do to the enemies in the game.
 
I’m having problems with a quest in Markarth. As you first go into the city, just outside the gates there is an attempted murder. You get given a note saying to meet someone at a shrine in the city, it’s all to do with a Forsworn uprising. So I go meet the guy and he asks me to find out some more information and get back to him at the shrine. But when I get back there the guy is dead and there are two guards there. I can’t interact with the guards and the arrow showing the direction of the quest just points to a blank wall. My friend heard there was a glitch in that quest, I’m just wondering if anyone else has had the same problem or if it’s just me?

The guards are supposed to initiate a conversation with you. Does your game have the latest patch? Have you tried reloading the game?

As an aside, I hate that quest. I hate, hate, HATE that quest!

Check out this website. Go towards the bottom of the page, it lists the bugs in the quest and if there are ways to fix them. Hope it helps!

Hmm, thats weird that it didn’t work. Which system do you have? I’m playing on a PS3.
 
I’m rocking an Xbox360, but that shouldn’t make a difference, considering it’s a scripting issue not a hardware one. It might be because I’ve completed the Imperial Legion questline and all the Jarls have now been replaced - could be a scripting conflict there? Ugh, honestly it should be removed anyway when you buy the house, instead of having to pay for it.

@PerfectTiming: Have you tried reloading from an earlier save? That’s the usual fix. If that doesn’t work, perhaps try attacking the guards and go to prison. You might wake up in the mines and can continue with the quest as per normal.
 
I play Skyrim on my laptop and it’s great. The mods are fun I now have Sheogorath as a follower.
 
Just started playing this! It’s a much-less lewd version of Fallout set in the late ancient world. I used to play New Vegas, but I just felt it somehow interrupted my relationship with Our Father.

Tell this noob, please: have any of you noticed any Christian elements or motifs in this game?
In Skyrim there’s a lot of Christian elements/motifs, at least to me anyways.

Talos(a central deity in Skyrim) being a glaring example, for me at least.
When I see Talos, I more or less identify him as very similar to Christ. The bit as the hero-god of mankind, bodily ascension into another plane and becoming a God in his own right seems to show that off. More proof would be how the Imperials are very similar to the Roman Empire (just look at their attire), and how they banned the worship of Talos (sounds a lot like the Romans early relationship and treatment towards Christianity).

If you look in the Temple of the Divines or see some of the painted glass artwork of the Divines, you can tell that the artwork and architecture is borrowed from Gothic churches.

The Statue of Mara looks very similar to Mother Mary, the treatment that is given to her (AKA as the being of benevolence and love) also proves such a point.

The Daedra, for the most part, seem synonymous to demons in Hell. The idea of tempting mortals to do their bidding or enter agreements they may later regret sounds very familiar to doing pacts with Satan.

tbh, what I really like about the game is the freedom of choice. It really makes you feel like you’re actually there. The fact that you have a choice really does define what kind of character you are, be it good or evil or simply amoral. It also places you in moral dilemmas that make you think, which is interesting to me.

Even more so, the image of good or bad really fades in the game (making it realistic IMO), as you get shades of grey (like the Imperials and the Stormcloaks); I simply can’t give you enough emphasis on how good of a game it is.

Actually, the Aldmeri Dominion (A.K.A. stupid elves) has banned the worship of Talos and they currently have Cyrodiil in their pockets. In Oblivion, the Imperials were fine with Talos worship.

I’d say Daedra are more of a mixed bag. Meridia in particular seems only interested in hunting down and killing the undead (and other abominations) than meddling to the same extent that the other Daedra do, but Molag Bal? Mehrunes Dagon? Yeah, it’s hard to find anything good to say about them.

That is exactly what I was thinking too when I first entered her temple in Riften. 🙂
