Fixed occasional issue where a guest would arrive to the player’s wedding dead

Say what? How does even happen? *looks up


That sad, funny and mess up at the same time.

That's what you get from killing quest givers

FUS DO RAH

You mean "Fus Ro Dah". Also, reported for making a really short, non-English post.

Anyways, I'm looking forward to Patch 1.2. I had to bear with playing the game from disc, the wait times weren't that noticable but long nonetheless. And there's a permanent arrow in my character's shoulder that should hopefully disappear with this.

Same here, I have 100% Pickpocket skill yet I have 0% of stealing anything above 1000 gold. There is a perk you can unlock (Cutpurse) that makes stealing gold a lot easier (50% easier). I don't have it though, but maybe with this perk? If you want I can further investigate/Google it!

I have that perk, and also Pickpocketing 4/5 (the first perk), I can steal up to 2k gold with some quicksave/loading. Those guys at the Jorrvaskr keep on training me for free

I've got some more interesting info on pickpocketing skill, which is widely acknowledged as the easiest skill/way to get money:

• If you have to bribe a guard using the Thieves Guild option (using the Bribe Perk unconfirmed), the money goes into the guard's inventory. With this technique, you can avoid getting arrested for minor crimes.
• There seems to be a hidden value behind pickpocketing. You will have a better success rate if you only steal one item at a time. Ex: Ring, Sword, and Gold. 90% success rate each. 3/5 Attempts to steal all 3 at the same time succeed. Reopening pickpocket each time, though, was 5/5 attempts.
• It appears that pickpocketing from different angles can change the chance of success, notably with gold values over 1000, I have gotten up to a 21% confirmed so far, unknown whether or not this is a bug.

Haven't noticed that, I just usually hid behind the npc's back, and I get good results. If you want to have EVEN better results, get the "Night Thief" (or something) which boosts pickpocket when NPCs sleep and get your gold back during their sleep.

I'm lvl 45 now and from lvl 38 shops start selling Ebony Ingots around 250 gold each. Pretty easy stuff. They frequently sell Ebony armour/weapons now too, at lvl 40 it starts I think. I'm already passed the Ebony stage though, Daedric is where it's at!

Hm, I boughts lots of Ebony and I was at level 33 or something (I'm on 35 right now). I've got a full Ebony epic heavy armor, looks pretty badass

Can't wait to switch over to Daedric (which is EVEN cooler).

I have full Daedric now, loving it Not everything is enchanted though at the moment, I'm first levelling my enchantment skill to get better results
I HATE how you can't just remove an enchantment of an item, I have a Daedric Armour (Legendary) which costed quite a lot (some Ebony ingots, leather strips, Daedra Heart) + upgrade, at least a 1000 septims, and if I want to get another enchantment on it (later on when my skill is higher), I have to make a completely new Armour. Hopefully mods can fix that. And I also would like to see the enchantments I've already learned, without going to an Arcane Enchanter....

 

[Hells Malice]

Daedric armor is dead simple to make once you do a quest to unlock the farming location for daedra (you get a note to go visit some dudes museum, that quest).
Not being able to unenchant things was kind of annoying when I was just starting out, but now I can just throw it on the ground and make another if I feel like it.

I think I already have that quest, it's in Markarth, isn't it? I've found/stolen 3 Hearts during my playing time, but I can find some hearts in (alchemy) shops, around 500 septims I think.
I have money enough, just the fact it isnt possible to remove an enchantment frustrates me.

Skyrim - What we're working on

As of today, it’s been three weeks since we released Skyrim worldwide. We’re simply blown away by the response, from new and old fans, and amazed by the sheer number of people playing the game. It’s been absolutely fantastic hearing your stories, seeing early mods, and watching fan videos (more live music ones please, we love those).
We want to thank everyone reading this for playing our game and supporting all it tries to do. We wouldn’t have this success without you, and we want you to know we’re committed to making your Skyrim experience even better. And not just in the short term, but over the life of the game. Here’s a quick peek at what we’re working on right now:

Creation Kit — Beginning in January, PC players will be able to download the same development tools we used at Bethesda Game Studios to create Skyrim. In tandem with the Creation Kit’s release, we will roll out a new Wiki and videos to help you get started. It also features something we think you’re going to love…




Steam Workshop – We’re excited to share news that we’ve been working closely with Valve to integrate Steam Workshop into the Creation Kit. Using the Workshop, you’ll have free user content with the push of a button. The Creation Kit will bundle your mod and upload it to the Workshop, where everyone can browse, rate, and flag mods for download. You’ll be able to do this from any web device, including your smartphone. Like a live Netflix queue, when you fire up Skyrim, mods you flagged will be automatically downloaded and installed. Everyone here is really excited about the opportunities and possibilities this opens up for our entire community.
Prefer to use existing modding sites? Not a problem. You’ll still be able to upload/share/access Skyrim mods on fan-created mod sites.

Continued Game Updates – This week we released update 1.2 across all platforms, and we’ll be releasing an incremental update next week. We anticipate it will be up on PC first, and then hit PS3 and Xbox 360 later in the week. Among other things, the update will fix issues like magic resistance not calculating properly and the rare, amazing backwards flying dragon. Once the update is released, we’ll share the full release notes.
After the holidays, we’ll continue to release regular updates for the game — through full title updates, as well as incremental “gameplay updates” to fix whatever issues come up along with rebalancing portions of the game for difficulty or exploits. We plan on having a lot of these, not just a few. Overall, you should expect updates to be hitting the PC and Steam earlier and more often, as that’s a process we control. Console updates will follow, as they must be certified and processed by those manufacturers.



Added this to the first post too.​

great !
thats fantastic news thanks Satan

Enchanting is easy to level. Just save your 1k daggers you made from getting blacksmith from 1 to 100. Run around with a weapon enchanted with soultrap on 1 second so it have tons of charge. If you sneak alot, put it on your off hand and go and [censored] everything you see.

Or better yet, level up your conjuration to get the Soul Stealer perk, which will allow you to soultrap with conjured weapons without any additional spells.

Are the 1.2 glitches widespread or are the only effecting a small percentage? Disabled the auto update on Steam but still makes me update when I try launching the game. Sorry for switching gears for a second, but WTF? No way around updating I take it?

@Satangel.

What you said in the news topic for the Skyrim mod thing, that's honestly a bit of bull.

Not everyone reads this thread even if they are interested in Skyrim, news threads for news right?
Having an OT doesn't mean everything about the game must be posted in that thread and only in that thread. I certainly wouldn't of known about it if Xuphor didn't post it (even though I don't care for it)

There are already countless threads out there with people saying how far they've got in the game and people asking how to get a specific item/level. I just wanted to lose all that clutter, to diminish those unnecessary topics and double posted information, and centralize it in 1 topic. 1 topic to rule them all. That's what happened with Xenoblade, and it worked.
I wanted to do the same thing with Skyrim, but didn't take in consideration a lot more people are interested in Skyrim and play Skyrim, and more news after the release would come. This problem can be best fixed IMHO by linking this thread to every news thread that appears, in the first post. Or maybe like the staff sometimes does with News topics, linking to the ongoing discussion.

That's different to news, I understand actually talking about the game itself, that's what these threads are here for. News? Not so much.

I just wanted to lose all that clutter, to diminish those unnecessary topics and double posted information, and centralize it in 1 topic. 1 topic to rule them all. That's what happened with Xenoblade, and it worked.

It worked for the people that read the thread, people who don't obviously don't get to see it.
Again, there are people interested in the game (like me) who don't really read these threads.

That doesn't fix anything. News topics should be in, dur, the USN or front page (whoever is faster, I guess). If people are just looking for news, that means they'll have to view this thread each time they visit this site if there is a new post. Fastest way t get that news to people is to make a new thread.

It's just not good to keep everything in one thread. Sure, that means more threads on the game but it's a popular game, what do you expect?

Edit: Honestly, I just think you're acting out like 'It's my thread, I posted it here first that means no one else is allowed to post it in the relevant sections!"

Edit2: Xenoblade worked huh?
Which has more responses?

That's why I'm suggesting to link to the main thread everytime a USN or front page post is made, in the first post. Then they can view the news there, via the fastest way, and discuss it further in the destined thread. It's completely unnecessary to have 2 discussions on the same subject in 2 different topics.
I expect a cleaner forum, with 1 topic that holds all the information/questions/answers, instead of 10 or more.

Edit: Honestly, I just think you're acting out like 'It's my thread, I posted it here first that means no one else is allowed to post it in the relevant sections!"

That's just silly, I've probably got bigger threads than this anyway, why would I bother with this then? I just want to centralize all the information, because I hate the same information on the forums in different topics. It's completely useless, and I at least try to get rid of it.

That didn't work because the first post in the USN post didn't link to the biggest thread, like I said it should be. People are lazy and just post in that topic then....

This forum goes quite fast sometimes (it has its days..), I'm saying nobody will see it if you just post news in one thread.

hat didn't work because the first post in the USN post didn't link to the biggest thread, like I said it should be. People are lazy and just post in that topic then....

That's bull again, if he linked to the Xenoblade thread nobody would care, they'll think 'okay' and carry on posting in that news thread because that's what it's there for discussing the news. You also just proven my point that hardly nobody saw the news in the Xenoblade thread.

OTs are for discussing the game which might be news but everything about the game shouldn't be limited to this thread. New thread for new news.

I've said it in my previous 2 posts, you can have a news post in the USN/Front page, but it should contain a link to any OT topic (if one exists). That way people see the news in the desired forums, via the fastest way, but the discussion takes place in the OT.

That's bull again, if he linked to the Xenoblade thread nobody would care, they'll think 'okay' and carry on posting in that news thread because that's what it's there for discussing the news. You also just proven my point that hardly nobody saw the news in the Xenoblade thread.

They would care, especially if the thread was closed and linked to the OT like the staff already sometimes does.

They didn't see it because they saw the news via the fastest way, and posted in that topic then. Then they went on to browse the forums, perhaps saw the news in the OT, but didn't bother posting there anymore, because they've already posted in the news topic.

OTs are for discussing the game which might be news but everything about the game shouldn't be limited to this thread. New thread with link to the OT for new news.
