did you read the note from the cultist?I don't even know where Solstheim is. I haven't travelled much. Don't know how I am even at 30 without doing much

I tried that, didn't work. Neither did a cure disease potion.As far vampirism and other diseases, even though this may not help you at this point, in general I make it a habit of going to a shrine frequently since that cures diseases. Any time I am near one I activate it just in case.
You take a ship there from Windhelm. You'll get there eventually.I don't even know where Solstheim is. I haven't travelled much. Don't know how I am even at 30 without doing much

Ah, gotcha - part of the Dragonborn DLC? I did read the note, but I am horrible with remembering these names. I actually haven't been anywhere wintery yet, so I haven't made it in that direction on the map. Just ended up in Solitude a couple nights ago for a Guild quest, but other than that I have just been wandering around Riften, Whiterun, Morthal, and Falkreath. Haven't been N or NE very far or over to Markarth yet this game.You take a ship there from Windhelm. You'll get there eventually.
You'll need to be a higher level and have mastered a lot of shouts. That guy's not easy under lvl 40 or so IIRC, think he's at min lvl 30 but will scale with your character lvl.Ah, gotcha - part of the Dragonborn DLC?

Also, I thought I remember reading to wait a little bit before doing much with the Dragonborn DLC until you have leveled up a little, but maybe that's not the case? Now that I know there is some sweet *** armor, I might be heading over there soon.

have you found a shout wall yet? done anything with the Greybeards?I have yet to even use a shout. WTF am I doing?
Shouts are critical at least in my play throughs.I have yet to even use a shout. WTF am I doing?
I should have specified. I have trained with the Greybeards, and I think they sent me on one quest. I have found other shouts on walls, but I have never used a shout in combat. I just never seems to occur to me for whatever reason. I couldn't even tell you which ones I have - I will have too look when I fire it up next.have you found a shout wall yet? done anything with the Greybeards?
ah. gotcha. Unrelenting Force is useful if you get backed into a corner and need a respite, of if you want to blow some fools off a mountainside cliff.I should have specified.

If nothing else you want the unofficial patchEvilgrin 72 said:PS4. I may try this tomorrow, thanks.
I never use shouts really unless the specific quest calls for me to use one. I used to use Ice Form a lot in my first play-through or two but I'm more into tanking now.I have yet to even use a shout. WTF am I doing?
The one to summon Durnehviir is awesome, loved doing that one.I never use shouts in combat except for when you need to use Dragon Rend. I tend to use Whirlwind Sprint more than other shouts. In general, shouts are an important part of the game, but not necessary to win fights except when you need to use Dragon Rend.
Smithing can be helpfulWell, I still haven't gone many more places, but last night I focused on getting my light armor up since I have been running into trouble. I had it close, but got my smithing up to 70 so I made myself a nice glass armor set and upgraded it. I think I went from about 130 in armor to over 300, so I am now ready to wander out some more!!
Unavailable for PS4.If nothing else you want the unofficial patch
Stupid Sony rules. It must have some outside content in it. It makes a huge difference to game play eliminating a crap ton of glitches.Unavailable for PS4.![]()
Dragonrend and unrelenting force are the two I use regularly.The shouts I have found to be useful to me are
Marked for Death
Unrelenting force
Dragonrend
Summon Durnehviir
Become Ethereal
Aura Whisper.
Oh boy. This is where Im at. I got the blood collecting quest assigned but have not done it yet. Does that mean I can go grab the scroll from the machine still?I had a dawnguard quest glitch, and it's unfixable. I didn't realize the Elder scroll was in that machine where you transcribed it, and I returned to the guy, and then helped him by getting the blood (which is the second half of that same quest.) I found out that glitches the scroll - the quest marker vanished, and if you return to the machine and grab it, it just vanishes from your inventory. I even tried the cheat room and add the scroll, but the game seems to know it's not the real one, I suppose.
I don't know - if you have a quest marker for getting the scroll, you should be ok. If you don't, though, it might be already glitched.Oh boy. This is where Im at. I got the blood collecting quest assigned but have not done it yet. Does that mean I can go grab the scroll from the machine still?
Yeah even if you don't put any perks into it, smithing is useful and profitable.Smithing can be helpful
And once you make what you want you can take it legendary so you can keep leveling. That way you don't lose archery or something.Yeah even if you don't put any perks into it, smithing is useful and profitable.
I was able to go back and grab the elder scroll. So it sounds like it glitches only if you complete the blood collection quest. Thanks for the warning...saved my ***!I don't know - if you have a quest marker for getting the scroll, you should be ok. If you don't, though, it might be already glitched.
Really stupid bug, as it's so easy to leave with the scroll still in the machine.
Yeah, THAT's why your forearms are huge.Not sure if I mentioned it here, but getting all the Stones of Berenziah yields massive amounts of gems everywhere you go. I went through one large Nordic ruin (Forelhost) last night and got well over 100 gems, most of them flawless. It doesn't really matter since I have well over a million septims, but it has let me go legendary in smithing 7 or 8 times...my forearms are huge now.![]()
Early on they get you killed. As in, giving you a false sense of power by arming something and charging into a room full of bandits only to learn you still need a good measure of magicka to set them off. They're like a one time use spell you can use even if you don't otherwise know that spell. But you still need the correct amount of magicka.Come to think of it, I have never used a scroll either. WTF do they do?
It is underpowered at higher levels . There are a couple of mods that address that issueI keep forgetting how underpowered magic is in this game. I'm level 32 and trying to use mostly destruction, specializing in lightning. Several perks in destruction - adept at half cost, dual cast, stagger, and lighting has extra damage. And I'm still fighting for my life most of the time. I'm not complaining - it's still fun but if I had any other build from sneaky archer to tank I'd be a semi-god by now. Smithing and enchanting increase the effectiveness of armor and weapons, but there's no equivalent for spells. I have enchantments that make them use less magicka but nothing to make them more powerful. Seems imbalanced.
No kidding. Sanguine Rose isn't a staff, it's a crutch!Im all about the conjuration though. I love pulling a couple allies out of my bunghole when the going gets tough.![]()
Between that, all the conjuration spells I have, resurrections, and the shout you get after defeating Alduin, I can basically just sit down and have a smoke while I let my minions clear out a room.No kidding. Sanguine Rose isn't a staff, it's a crutch!
That doesn't even count dragon summoning or animal allegiance shouts while outdoors. Or my follower. Or Shadowmere.Between that, all the conjuration spells I have, resurrections, and the shout you get after defeating Alduin, I can basically just sit down and have a smoke while I let my minions clear out a room.
I decided to give it a try and fight this thing. It's called Nightmare Beast. There is a mod where you can get a ring that adds 100,000 hit points so I put it on. It almost killed me even with over 100,000 HP, but I managed to kill it. One more hit from him and I would be dead. Definitely the hardest monster in the game that I have encountered, by far.Playing on PS4, I downloaded like 30 mods total, many of which make the enemies stronger and add new kinds of enemies. I am not sure which mod, or mods, this is due to, but Labyrinthian has several of these new monsters. I think it may be the new boss monsters mod. There are 2 unique dragons in the interior of Labyrinthian in the first part of the interior, in addition to the skeletal dragon that is normally there.
There is also a werewolf/shade-beast boss level monster near the exterior entrance to Labyrinthian. It looks like a giant werewolf (at least double the size of a normal one) but it's like a shade/ghost, not a fully material/normal looking werewolf. I have 100 sneak with all of the perks so I was able to get past him, but he is really tough. I tried shooting arrows at him but they just go through him. I have been to Labyrinthian a couple of times, and one time I went there and was sneaking past the werewolf when a dragon attacked. It landed and the werewolf ran over and killed the dragon with 1 hit. It was a regular dragon, but I am still reluctant to engage him hand to hand if he can kill it with 1 hit.
Start a new character!!!I've got a current game of Skyrim I'm trying to finish because it will be the last game I play on PS3 (I already have a PS4). I know I need to move the main story along to finish it, but I keep getting sucked down the rabbit hole on all these side quests. I'm already the leader of the mage college, the leader of the Companions, and one step away from being leader of the thieves guild...but not the dark brotherhood, #### those guys. I've got Serana as my companion, so I still need to finish the dawnguard stuff, and I haven't even started on the dragonborn quest line yet. I've got more money than I know what to do with, chests full of crap that I'll never use, and a house with a wife and 2 freakin' kids...and a GD pet fox!
I think I'm ready for the game to be over, but I just can't seem to quit it...
