Tried to complete the Foresworn Conspiracy quest, but just ended up gettin blazed in some old dudes house. Will come back to that later methinks.

Did bumble upon a haunted house quest and got a very handy mace for completing it. Also started the Dark Brotherhood quest line for killing the old bint in charge of an orphanage. Killed all three suspects then go munched on by a Blood Dragon when I stepped outside.


I did that Foresworn one.. kind of skipped through the dialogue so I wasn't sure why I was getting attacked but I managed to take them all down.

I also got that mace.. not used it yet.

Is there a Wiki Skyrim site like the one that MEEX kindly hooked me up with for New Vegas so I can look for particular things that I'm having trouble with?

There's a few actually.

The Elder Scrolls Wiki

Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages

Skyrim Wiki

I prefer the first one just because of the layout and design really, though the second one has the same information most of the time. I've never used the third one but I noticed it the other day, thought I'd post it in case you'd prefer one just dedicated to Skyrim.

Me either..

I use the second one, don't like the intrusive advertising of Wikia pages.

I believe it doesn't matter which one (or in you psychotic case, ones) you kill... I killed the gobby woman while not pretending she was my wife at all cos'that'd be wrong...



:?


No, it doesn't. I reloaded and killed em one by one (reloading each time). You end up at the same place, dialogue and quest wise. They all annoyed me, so that's why I killed em all. :twisted:

As a bonus, the abadoned hut was quite near the horn blower main quest so i'm doing that one now. The dragon was there when I loaded up, but did not what to fight me for some reason. I reloaded 3 times too, as I wanted my revenge. It flew off each time....

Completed the Forgotten Legend quest last night eventually. Assembled a mighty amulet that boost 30 points on Magika, Health and Stamina after some epic questing..

Binkys nearly dead.. I'm assuming I can heal him some how?

I've written down all the things that I've got in my inventory for quests but forgot to bring it.

I believe that Windymere (as I like to call him on account of his flatulence) regenerates health himself the same way that companions do.

Oh.. perhaps I'd better leave him for a bit?

Is there a way to stable him?

Only he loves to run into combat.

He dropped down a cliff and died. I reloaded cos I loves him so. Then he got a foresworn arrow in the gullet and that killed him.. so I reloaded and went on foot. :(

:lol: Bob you big ol softy!

If you give companions healing potions they will use em when they are low on health.

There is a spell you can buy to heal others too.

And I'm sure I read somewhere that Shadowmere respawns after a couple of (in game) days...

I've found that the healing hands spell seems to help.

Played the 'cannibal' quest last night and it was so well done, a highlight of the game so far, loved the way it was like a proper secret society with people you'd met. Ended up eating the flesh to get into the club and then wiping them all out but it genuinely made me feel a bit uncomfortable,

I like the way the guards now claim my breath smells.
