RE: Mjoll's sword quest, I first talked to her around level 15ish, no quest offer. It was right when I got to Riften, hadn't done any quests there. Didn't talk to her again until level 30, had done tons of poo poo (including some thief guild stuff) and she was in the tavern bitching to her buddy Aeris or whatever. So then she gave me the quest. And I already cleared that dungeon and had the sword, so I just handed it to her.

Out of curiosity, are you using the Skyrim Script Extender or Script Dragon?

If so, try running it without one/both of those.

Nope. Thanks for trying, though.

I'm actually still using the pre-DRM 1.1 exe (never saw a reason to switch to 1.1 DRM and I'm not gonna go to 1.2 till it's fixed).

Other than that and a handful of minor mods, nothing weird.

She's a pretty good for stats but holy poo poo is she annoying. Never ever shuts up and will constantly interrupt conversations with the same line you've already heard a dozen times. Never ditched a companion so fast before.

Yeah, Susanna the Wicked. I'm not ashamed to admit that I only distinctly remember her because she's got the über-cleavage body model Beyond that she hasn't had a role in any quest I've seen yet, nor is she a shopkeeper, she just sweeps the Windhelm inn and spouts a couple of lines.

Yeah, she doesn't appear to have any role that I've seen beyond the odd name.

Are there any NPCs that you can console into the marriageable faction that can be followers; besides followers not in the marriageable faction. Cause if so, Night Mother here I come!

story spoiler Karliah, my first option for being a nifty follower via forced marriage appears to be a no-go. First she's bugged and she's uselessly standing in the place where she shot me with a bow, and I'm not the thieves guild leader at this point.

She was the first murder victim for the "Blood on the Ice" quest for me. She is not the marrying type either.

So what are the main story quests?

I feel like I'm on the right path, but then I end up getting some quest that feels totally random and when I'm done, I'm pretty sure I didn't advance the story line forward at all.

LOOK OUT BROTHA ITS DAVY JONES

So I did the side quest in Blackreach to find 30 crimson nirnroot, and handed it in, right? Got my reward and whatnot (I hear it's pretty neat and useful), and so I'm happily advancing the main quest, la de da, and saved many times.

Go back to my shack in Whiterun after an hour and a half or so, and dump everything I have collected into the chest. I decide it's about time to see what that quest reward was.

It's nowhere to be goddamn found in mine, the chest's, or Lydia's inventory. I have not dropped nor sold anything at all. It has completely vanished.

The book is useless (not even a skill book), the real prize is the permanent buff. You should see it under Magic->Active Effects. It's called Sidarion's Serendipity or something like that, and it gives you a 25% chance to craft 2 potions every time you make a potion.

I find that I can't stop making new characters, as there are just so many different things I want to try. I'm now glad I mostly avoided fall-out/morrowind/oblivion (though I did pick this one up for the last few months :] it set me up for skyrim well) because I still enjoy a lot of novelty. A fortunate side effect of having so many characters, I also find, is that it breaks the self-rewarding reward cycle. The pay-off for X hours of gameplay is X hours of fun adventures, not a twice-enchanted Legendary Orcish War Axe and 185x Fine Steel Dagger of +1 Stamina.

tl;dr I enjoy this game and alt-itis saved my soul

Happy Gaming! I'm gonna go make a guy that looks like Indiana Jones.

HEY RADICAL LARRY HOW ABOUT A HAIRCUT

****MIC TO THE WILLY***


Having some weird issues with skyrim. My shouts are unbinding after I use them once. I have to re-select them from my favourites menus. This is annoying in the heat of battle as you can imagine! I've never had this issue before....Blame the patch perhaps?

Second:

I have a sizzling / crackling sound that loops on my character. It stops when I enter menus and containers. I found a fix...I typed SEXCHANGE twice into the console and it stopped it. But now it is not working at all.

It sounds like a spell's crackling sound, like flames. Not quite the Elemental fury glitch that I found on Youtube. Much more subtle, but once you hear it..you cannot un-hear it!

When you're looking at a quest in the menu, there's a design on either side of the quest's name (at the top of the menu, not the left). Main quests have a dragon, thieves' guild has a key, daedric quests have the symbol for Oblivion, and so on.

Is it just me or are the scimitars crazy powerful? My ebony sword deals about 58 damage when upgraded to legendary but my scimitar is at 75. Does smithing skill affect the damage increase when you upgrade stuff? I chugged a +100% smithing potion when I upgraded the scimitar.

Yeah, if you had the ebony perk in smithing, you'd get some crazy powerful poo poo from it, as the perks I think double your effective output or whatever. But yeah, simply having a high smithing stat makes stuff better too, even without the perks.

I've also had it start to work again by exiting one zone and loading another, then returning to the spot you wanted to use it - that's a fix as long as you aren't trying to TCL your way out of being stick in geometry or something. In that case you are gonna have to restart if it's not working.

It's strange that it only works when it feels like working being a console command and all.

You will find this useful. This was the first hit on google, fyi.

"TAI" or "TCAI" is the command you're looking for.

Just follow the instructions. You can't really screw up that quest and AFAIK it's not a particularly buggy one (if you find yourself unable to do a bunch of stuff, that is by design), so relax and have fun.

Somehow it was not clear that the reward you get is a permanent buff. I thought she gave me something physical. They should really explain that better.
