Try sticking it on a fan the next time you try it as well. Keep it as cool as possible and you may luck out.You'll have to look, but worst comes to worst, I believe there are ways to remove the hard drive and get the data off it.Got the game out. Wont turn on long enough to get the data thoughDon't panic yet. If this is the very first time it happened, do this1) let it cool completely2) turn it back on and get the disc out immediately3) turn it off and let it cool again4) plug in a USB stick5) turn it on and quickly save your game data to the USB stickThen when you get the new one, just load the game data back on to the new ps3 via the USB stick and you won't lose anything.So there is no way of getting the game out? And obviously I have lost all my data and stuff. Im so bummed right now. My wife says, just buy another one. I try to explain to her that i just lost 60 hours of game play. This is the worst feeling everDude, sorry. It is dieing or dead. :( . That is exactly what happened to mine. Eventually it would shut off quicker and quicker until it was unusable. Red Light of Death (red light blinking) is the heat issue too many of the original units succumbed too. The good news is that the slim models are much less likely to have this issue.Can a PS3 guy please tell me that the game turning off and the red light blinking means I just have to give it some timeOrdid my stupid system just die on meMatts > Help![]()

Or town, or whatever you want to call it. Riften, Whiterun, Solitude, Winterhold, and Markarth I think is the 5th.what do you mean, each "keep"?After you complete 5 for each keep, you will unlock a "special mission", once you complete that every fence will increase their gold by 500.How many do you have to do? I did like ten of the ledger quests for Devlin and got a message about the standing increasing. But the pay only went to 450. Did I need to do more? Do something different? Just not sure.Try doing the radient quests for the thieves guild (as in "restore the thieves guild to its former glory"). By the time you finish this, Tomila will have 4000 gold each time you visit her, plus you'll have immediate access to four other merchants right there in the Flagon. You can acculumute wealth really fast at that point.

You must have went in there lower level. Or I went in at a high level. Either way, thought that was one long, boring dungeon crawl. Everything was a one shot kill. Even the "big bad boss" creature fell to three arrows. I wonder, I think I read that the level of the dungeon is set the first time you enter it. I had ransacked the store room there as a low level character, but was probably 15 levels higher when I went back and did the main dungeon. I wonder if the level was set to when I had raided that storeroom?Mzulft![]()

. There was one part that took me an hour.Question: Do enemies respawn in dungeons? Reason Im asking is I had no capcity to carry any of the metal in that dungeon and wouldnt mind going back.I would guess so long as it says "Cleared," you are ok? Just a guess though. Personally, I didn't pick up any of the metal. I just had someone tell me you can melt it down to make ingots? If so, maybe it is worth it. But at the time, looking at the value versus the weight, I just didn't think it was worth the bother. Now I have enough Dwarven Ingots and no use for them (I have no dwarven weapons or armor that I use) that it really isn't worth it to me.'Matthias said:Think they do. Maybe after 10 days or 30 days of the player not visiting? Something like that.only level 17. Guess I shouldve waited. Took me almost 2.5 hours.

Still haven't stumbled upon this one yet. You are talking enchantments, correct?Discovered the recipe for paralysis! Since my bow already has frost damage every victim freezes and then falls over in a Han Solo carbonite style thud.![]()
I was looking for you???"I did the same last night at level 13. I died 2 or three times in the same place and realized I was in over my head and headed out to explore some other areas. I ended up making a long exploratory walk to Windhelm where I think I unknowingly started a quest line that should be pretty fun.Note to self: I need to be a higher level before going deep into Raldbthar. Sort of got my butt handed to me by the Falmers, the traps and the Dwemer mechanical monsters in there. First dungeon I actually left because it was just too difficult for my experience level.What I have been trying to avoid and frankly, it is impossible if you are just exploring, is doing something that negates a quest that I have not gotten. Like in the above place, I walked in and killed this random guy right off the bat and now I realize that is a mission I was to get later on. He says to me,"Ah ha, you found me." I'm like, "I was looking for you???" It is fun to explore, but only being level 14, there are some nasty things out there that can kill you quickly.
Is Ralbthar after Mzulft? Cuz those Falmars & Dwemer mechanical things tore me a new ####### and I still perservered through but I dont wanna do that again?I did the same last night at level 13.

Been rolling this way for a while now. I don't even bother sneaking around anymore. Just barge in shooting lightning out of my hands. My destruction is almost maxed out, so even dragons only take a few hits.Lightning bolt!............Lightning bolt!.........LIGHTNING BOLT!!!!Just decked out a set of dragonscale armor with unlimited destruction magic. thanks for the pointer h311![]()

. I go down the mountain and start rummaging through her crap and go in the trap door. I never actually saw her anywhere. I pop out the trap door and the ##### is hammering me with magic. A couple arrows to the dome and she's laying in a heap.Has been for me. Big help at lower levels although she can get away from you and ruin your stealth attacks on occasion.Is it a no-brainer to bring along lydia?
Oh, and I had my first lol moment. so I was screwing around between the two early towns and there's this old lady that claims she's all poor. So I ran out of room and had some crap I wanted to go back and get from the gold claw thing in the little temple before it. So I climb up there and I realize I can see the lady. I think i killt her with the bow because I got huge XP for such a long shot hitting. I go down the mountain and start rummaging through her crap and go in the trap door.

Not ok. It says cleared after the first time you clear it, but they will respawn after X days -- but the "cleared" label stays there.I would guess so long as it says "Cleared," you are ok?

Har. I've tried to avoid this thread with all the spoilers, but I'm far enough along now that it really doesn't matter too much. Tip from your Uncle Bonz: Don't sleep on the Run Really Fast shout.

By the way, <minor spoiler> did you pick up the "special" mug on the second floor? It is useful when you return to the thieve's guild lair.Yeah, don't know why I developed a conscience after beating up shopkeepers and killing a dude in his own home for no reason.Love the quests though, remind me of gameplay in Metal Gear.

Putting this in a spoiler not sure what it means and don't want to ruin anything for anyone.
So I was unloading all my crap into one of my chests and I happen to come across a note from the Dark Brotherhood that says someone wants me dead and have already paid for it and something about now being marked for death. But I don't recall seeing a quest that relates to this note. Anyone see this before? Did I miss something? I know I killed an assassin not too long ago but that's the only thing I could think of that it was from.
