Edit: Alright, got some Stahlrim equipment and I really like it. I chose the light stuff because that's what I'm going for with my Nord Warrior. I like how Chaos Damage is amplified with Stahlrim equipment.

Ah Dragonborn; I've been avoiding that quest until I get the souls I need for my word collection. I have a thing for collecting dragon words and books in this game. I was something of a bookworm as a kid, and I still read books now and then, so that's probably the reason.

Hope to take some screenshots this weekend. Have seen some beautiful scenes lately and keep forgetting to take shots of them.

Have been informed that the latest update for SkyUI may have an indicator attached to unread books to better aid inventory control; for those that may not want books to actually glow from other mods.

If I'm not mistaken it may be the open eye (Detected) symbol I've been seeing since downloading the last update to SkyUI. Very handy, and accurate. Saves me looting/purchasing books I've already read. I still use the glowing books mod for finding unread books not in containers or stores; saves me having to loot/read everything to see if I've already read it.

You know what spell is the funnest one in Dragonborn?
Whirlwhind Cloak.

Seeing your foes flying through the air is HILARIOUS.
Annoying to get though,I had to do a lot of radiant stuff for Neloth.

Found another quest glitch the unofficial patch doesn't address: if you have Tolfdir's Alembic before accepting his quest to find it, and you give it to him immediately after accepting the quest - without leaving the conversation, the game will say the quest is complete, but your Journal still says you need to find the Alembic, and the item itself won't spawn. I ended up using a quest deletion tool to remove the offending entry, since none of the console commands would work.

Given the discussion that transpired a few months back about the possibility of Volkihar vampires not having souls (per Falion's dialogue), I was wondering if this possibility would exempt the Dragonborn from the pact that Karliah has the protagonist make with Nocturnal (when the Dragonborn becomes a Nightingale), since a vampiric protagonist may not have a soul, and is already dead during the inception of the deal.

Are the vampires in Skyrim technically dead or is it just an infection?

Closer to infection, since vampirism can be contracted and cured.

The "detect dead" spell and the comments from various characters would suggest that a vampire is technically dead. It's also commented as the reason why you can't get your facial features altered as a vampire.

Yep, like a disease. Unlike werewolves/werebears, lycanthropy is a curse.

It would explain the pale skin and such. The part that's not really explained is what happens after vampirism sets in. Does the host die and then come back as a reanimated corpse? With all the books in this damn game, I half expected there to be something on vampires and how the infection works or at least some theories.

I suspect it's different depending on the vampire clan. A "reanimated corpse" is how vampirism was described in the early Elder Scrolls games. In Daggerfall, you literally died and came back to life, with the guilds you were currently affiliated with considering you dead. Vampire lore regards them as one of the undead.

Entering the Soul Cairn answered a fair few questions regarding this during the Dawnguard DLC. If you had a soul you could not enter and had to be partially Soul Trapped. Serana even went so far in saying that you were undead because you did not have a soul and therefore could freely enter and exit. Where is the Dragonborn's soul when you're a Vampire? Im assuming it lurks somewhere in Cold Harbor but this hasn't been answered. Suffice to say you are undead.

Except one can be cured via Lycanthropy; thus I believe Vampirism is more of a disease that may anchor the soul elsewhere. Personally, I relish the Battle Royale for the soul after that DB has passed....

Interesting. I didn't know that. So, I guess I'll have to become a vampire again at some point to finish exploring the Soul Carin.

Finally got back to 100% achievements again.
God some are so annoying to get.

At least Dragonborn did not have any like the Vampire/Werewolf perk tree.
Those were FREAKING annoying.

When I was doing those, I actually killed way too many people and creatures as a werewolf, and didn't return to human form until a real life hour after I scored the achievement for the werewolf perks.

My friend was laughing his ass off every time I brought up how long it was taking while I spoke to him on Live. I let my character just stand there as a werewolf in the wild for what felt like forever until FINNAAALLLLY

I went on a Werewolf killing spree in the Makarth guard tower. 17 dead guards. They kept just kept coming. I'm getting close, haven't even become a vampire yet.

I remember those days. Spend forever maxing out those perks only to never use the form again. Once I used VL form in Skuldafn just to grab all the Deathlords and throw them off the building.

The Thu'um.

Ancient and powerful magical ability that lets you shape reality.
And cheat at playing games with your kids.

Without even noticing I used Whirlwhind Sprint to win in tag.
Then used Aura Whisper to win at hide and seek.

PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWER! Plus a great aid in beating your kids at games.

I wonder how many other ways you could use the Thu'um in every day life?

Completed Power of Elements just now without any guides. Had fun with the riddles.

My Argonian mage now can use Fire Storm as a direct cast and not from a scroll. I believe its 150 pts (it may be 115, I forget) of fire damage, with maximum damage being inflicted on nearby targets. I'll probably use stop time in conjunction with this to assist in the waving-arms casting loadup.

Role-playing strictly as a mage for 260 hours now, the text in the book after completion and the quest itself was really satisfying.
