Just discovered Halted Stream Mine. It has a few bandits to kill but there is alot of iron ore to mine. I got over 50 pieces of ore in one run.

It's north of Whiterun on the map. Literally look for a halted stream.

Has anyone ever encountered a dragon that doesn't attack you? I was traveling through the Reach with Lydia a while ago, and a dragon showed up and hovered above us in the sky for a good 5-10 minutes without ever making a move towards me or the other NPCs in the area. It was... bizarre.


Yeah its actually fairly common. Dragons have a few behavior patterns and they don't always attack the player.

For example a dragon may appear but only flies around off into the distance, it might appear to attack random npc's but ignore the player (happened to me in riften, watched a poor sod get bbq'd off in the docks while I was at the gates.), attack the player, you get the idea.

They are basic but nice variations.

Yeah I've seen them attacking giants and mammoth sand other creatures.

One of the Dragons is Alduin and he'll never commit to an attack and just hover over you before taking off, so usually if you see a Dragon overhead but it won't show up as an enemy on your compass it's Alduin.

I have to say though, they need to make dragon tougher while on the ground. The only reason I have any trouble with dragons so far is because they are out of my reach. I suspect that if I was an archer or a mage it would be a different story.

As a Battlemage, When I'm not tearing things at close/medium range, I'm using a bow. And my shots are very inaccurate as of 35 in Archery.
I swear, stormtroopers could take better shots at dragons than I can. Any tips? I'm still getting the hang of the Creation engine's Arrow delay/drop.

Do Dragons grab NPCs out of nowhere like in the demo?

Wait till the dragon hovers. The few times I did use a bow against a dragon, the best time to shoot one if you have trouble with accuracy is just wait until they stop.

If in a town, the dragon almost always feels compelled to perch on a building, easy target. If in the field the dragon will land sooner or later or at the very least hover in place.

And you sided with the rebels that once they win will have the Empire to the South and Elves to the West?

Since the Empire is licking the Thalmor's boots, that's a moot question.

Ulfric wants to restore the traditions and honor in Skyrim, right ? How doing such thing if he does not respect them himself ?

Bronn at least, has never claimed to be defending the honor, he despises it. While Ulfric cheers traditions and honor, and uses it as an argument against those who support the Imperials.

All those who speak of Ulfric, even if they do not like him, say he is someone who respects the tradition. I can not explain why he did that. Maybe I will know in the end.

Not that I judge him, simply, it's surprising when we look at his profile.

What traditions did Ulfric not respect?  He challenged Torygg fair and square.  Now that he's in a war, he's not going to submit to a moot from jarls that are trying to kill him.

Did the king know about Ulfric being able to use a thu'um to that extent? I haven't got to a point where there's been any explanation of what actually happened in the duel.

I assume it would be pretty common knowledge that he was at High Hrothgar.

If the king did know and didn't think Ulfric would use it out of honour well yes it could be stupid, OTOH formal duels usually do have rules. If Ulfric agreed to duel using specific weapons and went outside that then he's being pragmatic but also a coward.

I've not heard any mention that he violated the terms of the duel.  The Imperial Nords say they didn't know he meant to challenge Torygg or they would have never let him in.  They knew Torygg was weak, and so is Elisif.

Since the Empire is licking the Thalmor's boots unwillingly and would revolt with enough manpower, that's a moot question.

Fix'd
Basically, How could the Stormcloaks hope to possibly defeat the Thalmor? A fledgling state with recruits vs well trained mage-warriors with many troops wouldn't end well.

What you see is a rebel army that's been starved because the Imperials are sucking up all the land's resources for themselves. They should go back to Cyrodiil and defend their own territory, and treat with Skyrim as an independent state. Instead they're allying themselves with the Thalmor. They celebrated a great victory by giving the Thalmor what they wanted anyway. What the hell is that? If you're going to surrender, just surrender and get it over with.

Not very familiar with politics are you? The Empire has not surrendered and the peace treaty is a stopgap for both sides. Which makes the civil war all the more hilarious considering as soon as the empire go back to war with the thalmor talos worship will be open again.

Of course if skyrim breaks away they will soon find talos hard to worship when their lands are occupied by the thalmor. By that time they better hope the argonians and dunmner oppose them.

You think that the rebel army will quickly train? The Thalmor will take them easily during that time of recovery. The Imperials suffered a huge blow when Hammerfell left and they are not so easily inclined to let the same happen to Skyrim. Like I said, the Empire would NEVER accept to being ruled by the Altmeri Dominion.
Surrender=Absorbing into the Dominion. The Dominion gaining Imperial Province=Gaining the rest of Tamriel from the middle, quickly overwhelming the remaining opposing states (Morrowind, Hammerfell, Black Marsh, Skyrim)

Somehow I think the thalmor would rather have actually conquered Cyrodil.

Its been said quite a few times that they were buying time to rebuild, its explicitly said ingame. Its hardly surrender.

If the empire falls, everyone loses essentially.

Exactly. As the Empire declining over 200 years, it has affected almost every other province. The Empire becoming the Dominion will just seal the deal for a Thalmor-controlled Tamriel. That would be painful to imagine.

Which is why I cut down every thalmor I come across. I am actually contemplating if I can kill the thalmor hiding with the jarl in markarth.

I suppose the Nords would prefer to keep their independence and fight with the Empire against the Thalmor as an ally and not a province.

An alliance with Ulfric as the High King wouldn't be so successful. Ulfric would have few able-bodied men (Mostly non-mages) and wouldn't allow foreign troops in Skyrim, even to assist. However, I think that the Empire should sign a treaty with Skyrim, promising independence to Skyrim and the tranformation from the galactic,... ahem... Tamrielic Empire into the Tamrielic Alliance. 
EDIT: AFTER this whole dragon and Thalmor crisis, of course

No there's no level cap.  However, it takes a hell of a lot of skill advancement to go from level 50 to level 51.  I can't comprehend  how someone could have gotten to level 87 when the game's only been out for about  2 weeks.

Hey, has anyone managed to find  all 24 Stones of Barenziah? I've cleared 57 dungeons, discovered more than 100 locations, and I've managed to find...5 of them.

frustrated, I have to talk to an NPC about a specific quest, but another quest, one that I don't want to complete, is blocking me from engaging the NPC about the quest I do want to complete.

very annoying!
