Korrin has spent the last week:-
improving her vocabulary and expanding her influence (3 Thane titles in one week)
Found another use for animal allegiance: while bounty-hunting a giant noticed a nearby mammoth.
drowned once while swimming in Riften harbour because someone started talking to her about a lexicon and was unable to end the conversation before dying.
Liberated a castle from bandits only to see the owner return to his camp outside afterwards (I don't understand this quest...why open the gate to let 3 people in when they could all enter through the tunnel?)
Cicero is still waiting to have his wheel fixed.

I'm thinking of trying a new build, but I am not sure if it will work out in the end. I want to try a Wood Elf thief that focuses on stealth and archery which I have done a little before, but this time I want to work on conjuration too (which seems lore friendly enough). I want to summon the elemental deadra when I am out in the open and more easy to spot. Since I won't use companions this time (they give my position away too easily), I thought the summons could serve as tanks when I needed one. The only thing is I am not sure if I would end up using the summons enough once my stealth got high to justify putting that many points into magicka when they could go into health and stamina instead.

Has anyone tried a build like this? Did you use summons the entire game or did your stealth eventually become so high that no one could detect you even out in the open?

Give your followers Muffle boots and + Sneak gear and they will be much better at not giving your position away. I have Enchanting at 100 so I just add Sneak as the second attribute when enchanting gear for them.

I know that some skill bonuses do not work with Followers but I have used the Sneak and Muffle gear with Lydia, Cicero (which makes his sneak as ungodly as mine and I can actually take him along on assassination missions), Ria from the Companions and the Orc chic follower and I have noticed a huge difference. 

I did read somewhere that Follower stats are frozen at their current lvl the moment they are loaded into your campaign.
Their actual level will increase but stats will remain the same.
Followers like Faendal, Sven, various Companion faction people, and
Lydia, will seemingly be terrible later in the game due to this.

But again, you can beef them up with bonus gear.

The housecarls always think you're a stranger. I'm sure it's a scripting bug.

Lydia: "Put that down!"

Oh yeah. She's going to the Blades. And I don't even like the Blades.

It is definitely a bug but only 3 Housecarls have this bug, I am waiting for the right time to end their sorry lives for not recognizing the person they are supposed to be guarding with their very beings.

Houses that have the bug:

Solitude
Whiterun
Windhelm

As I only used Lydia as a mule for the most part in the beginning I could care less if she lives. All she does is sit in her room eating all day anyway. At least my girl in Riften cooks like she is feeding the entire Stormcloak army.

The Solitude Housecarl is smug and I cannot stand to look at her.

The Windhelm Housecarl would make Gilbert Grape's brother Arnie seem like Einstein in my opinion.

Ebony Blade bait.... *drool*

[caradoc2000]

The followers are about as useless as they were in Jade Empire, but at least in JE they had support mode.

They might be of some use if there wasn't friendly fire.

You know I find it utterly hilarious how some of the kids in game treat you.

Like that kid in Riverwood threatening you about not getting on his bad side.
Yeah telling the person who beat down the firstborn of Akatosh that is just silly.

It was more silly on my first time hearing that because I had just killed a dragon and was in the midst of absorbing its soul. Also covered head to toe in its blood, in full Daedric plate armor.

My Dragonborn just walked away laughing himself sick at that kid.

Careful; the lad has connections....

Tis the lass in Whiterun wanting to fight everyone that gets me shaking my head. Even after intimidating her from her bullying ways, she still taunts the Dragonborn. Maybe once all the faction titles are held, she will cease and desist....

[Giggles_Manically]

I just get a kick out of it on my mage the most.

Its like...kid it would take me longer to decide which of all the horrible ways I know how to kill, than to actually kill you.

Like in FONV when people try and mug the guy wearing power armor.

[BigEvil]

Some of the kids are very annoying, I agree. I don't mind the lass in Whiterun who constantly tells us about working for her mother or the one in Solitude who despite being told multiple times that Roggvir is dead doesn't know why she won't see him again.

But I truly pity Balgruuf. He has one reasonable lad (who will clearly become a solid warrior in due time) and two evil brats. Licking Balgruuf's boots, eh boy? Perhaps you'll change your tune (or vanish entirely) if I decide to side with the Stormcloaks just to kick your father out of power. New servant you say, little lady? The man in the legendary Daedric armour, who has been Thane of Whiterun for an in-game year or more, and you think he's a new servant?

Also Balgruuf doesn't seem to have a wife, that I can remember ever seeing anyway. Poor man. Three kids, a steward too dumb to realise standing in a Nord city, beside his Nord Jarl and the Nord Jarl's Nord Brother and saying the phrase "Nord non-sense" is a bad idea, and apparently he has Nazeem up his backside as well.

[Redcoat]

That's why you need the Killable Children mod! Just sneak into their houses, kill them and steal their souls, and then use their souls to enchant your weaponry. Then imagine telling your enemies that your blades are powered by the souls of murdered children.

Skyrim: It's not an RPG, it's a serial killer simulation.

Well I did that to the Dark Brotherhood.
No more fitting end to an order of scum than being soul trapped and having your souls left on a mantle as trophy.

Dont remember if I soul trapped Ulfric or not in that run, though I did to that shaved ape he has running around. Why yes its a brilliant idea to declare JOIN US OR DIE to the guy who really does not know where he falls quite yet.

Speaking of which I do kind of like how Whiterun is the turning point in the entire civil war really.
I did get a kick sitting on the wall and tossing lightning down at the barbarians whilst Odahviing did his best nazquel impersonation.

Though really its kind of silly holding back an entire siege all by yourself.

Indeed, but it's even sillier when you're doing the besieging. So far I've only done a Stormcloak run with the Civil War, mainly because the character I did that with was finished with the Companions and I wanted to see what the Civil War quests were like. She was at a point where she could cut down the Imperial soldiers with one sword swipe and even the General at Whiterun gates went down rapidly. The only slight challenge was Ireleth. She was so far ahead of the Stormcloaks that I reckon the game had to spawn Bear-man inside Dragonsreach even though he was probably still slogging up to the first gateway outside the city.

The content of the Civil War really left a lot to be desired IMO. Whichever faction you join steam-rollers the other and I just don't buy it. Even a few ambient dialogues mentioning losses and stalemates in skirmishes/battles elsewhere around the map would have made it more believable. I really hope someone does some mod work on expanding the quest line. I'd love some quests where you have to do things like securing fresh supplies for the war effort, healing the injured soldiers at the various camps, anything just to make it better or less of a curbstomp.

[Giggles_Manically]

It did kind of make sense on my mage though.

I mean I called in a dragon, and two dremora lords then started tossing Ice Storm.
For people resistant to cold they sure dont last long against that spell.

You know it might not make some people happy that a mage totally stream rolled an all Nord army.
Then again death by irony is really the best kind.

I hate the freaking fire place in Breezehome.

I do like the house you get in Windhelm.
Then again it was the house of a serial killer...and that just is to disturbing to me.
Plus the house in Markarth makes me think I am in a Dwemer ruin and I keep expecting a Falmer jump out at me.

Proudspire's only real problem for me is that its just to big really.
Like it is just way to showy really.

The Markarth home's probably my favorite, simply because of the Dwemer feel. I may have to have Aela pack up her things and move everything back there! First we lived in Breezehome, then we moved to Honeyside, and now we're probably going to go to Vlindrel Hall!

I remember when I was moving from Breezehome to Honeyside, I took everything in my house with me for fear of all my loot being lost when I took Whiterun for the Stormcloaks. Overencumbered doesn't beging to describe how weighed down I was.

over 6000 lbs. of crap for a guy that could only really handle about 400 lbs.

Side note: I hate how the Dwarves are just.... Elves. My personal taste on the matter. I accept that they're Elves, but I don't have to like how they're Elves who were only called Dwarves because of their size in relation to the Giants that saw them.

[Addai]

I think the dwemer lore is pretty cool. Orcs are elves, too, but they sure aren't elven. Even elves aren't really elven, as the usual fantasy tropes go.

[Elhanan]

Personally, I dislike that Dwarves are the TES version of Gnome Tinkers....

[TEWR]

The Dwemer lore is great. I just dislike how they're not Dwarfy Dwarves like you usually see, all short and everything.

Also.... um.... let me phrase this appropriately. Ahem...

Skjor's ****ing alive again! Anyone else have this bug happen to them? If so, are there any serious ramifications?

Good point.  They ARE like D&D gnomes, with their 'Tecknology' stuff.  lol

Do we  even know what they looked like?  I vaguely remember  that Dwarf  guy in Morrowind, but  he had some disease that made him grotesquely bloated... and he didn't even have legs.  He did, however, have the standard Dwarf face  (bearded).  But I don't remember if he had pointed ears like Elves.

[Cyberarmy]

Yes he has pointy ears.

SPOİLERS FOR SOME!

Here is a concept piece:


Plus a ghost of one you meet in Tribunal:


So pretty much elves with beards it seems.
It never really bugged me that much since the "Short, Scottish accented, ale drinkers who live underground" concept has been done to death for 50 years or so.

He must've been doing some foul necromantic rituals. That's the only logical explanation .

I just waltzed up to Jorrvaskr's outside training area and I'm like "Vilkas, Farkas, Skjor, Athis.... wait! Skjor?! WTF?!"

Ah well, at least he's back. I liked him.

Though I bet if I go back to where he was killed I'll find his dead body. If I do, I'm going to raise his corpse using the Ritual Stone's power and head back to Jorrvaskr and plop that corpse of Skjor right in front of Skjor and demand an explanation.

Elves with Mesopotamian beards, who completely disregard the affairs of the world outside, tinkered with the malleable and arbitrary laws of nature, divided by zero, focused on returning to the sacred through the death of the profane, then absorbociding their entire race into the divine skin of the great Walk-Brass, Anumidum. Yeah, totally just elves.

Yes, any resemblance to the usual fantasy lore is just the TES writers preparing to **** with your brain.

What do people have against elves anyway.

The sole of my boot? Sorry; those are Smurfs....

I prefer Elves to look fantastic in a fantasy; not like ET in a bad wig. And Dwarves that are slender?! No wonder they vanished; better to be simply imagined, than presented as anorexic garden ornaments.

[Sigma Tauri]

Whatev, man.

I love my negalithic refusatronic navel-gazing dwarves.
