Thanks Hagatha. I guess some of the quests are just buggy, unfortunately.

We need a really good mod that can help us all move stuff from house to house btw. I hope that someone will make one when the Creation Kit comes out, OR that I'll have the guts to try my hand at it myself! LOL

I am working on the Companions Radiant Quest(which will never end!) Vilkas wants me to find an escaped criminal roaming the Rift. The map marker telling you where to go to find criminal moves from place to place on the map. Sometimes it is in Riften at various places and sometimes it is outside Riften at other various places. Did anyone else have this problem? Can I skip this quest and still proceed in game? I have chased the criminal about five hours now and I am tired.
I must have a "buggy" game. I have completed seven Animal Exterminations, five Family Heirloom Quests, four of the other quest and there are five quest I can not trigger.

The Creation Kit and 1.4 patch for all platforms will be out soon. Looks like the patch fixes several quest bugs, among other things. That's good news.

Kazzmo, unless those are the main questline (they don't sound like they are), you can skip them.


Thanks AnneG

Ok, all, be patient with me. I just got back to the beginning after a few days, and have got some questions. How in the world do you pick potions up? I have it targeted and it says press E to pick it up, but all it does is the potion floats in the air in front of me.

I use the Xbox controller for Windows, JeanK, but I've noticed that if I go to pick something up and hold the button down a little too long, then I wind up grabbing the item and dragging it around the screen instead of picking it up and putting it in my inventory. When you go to pick something up, just hit the key you need quickly and then let off it, and see if that helps.

looney4labs, Thank you, they are not main quest, so I will move on.

Thanks AnneG

Great Kazz, glad you are able to progress now. I'll be playing this game for years!

Looney-"I'll be playing this game for years". Me too!

I'm having such fun just wandering around, finding places by accident, kicking butt on occasion, and just recently finding that someone was selling a beautiful set of glass armor which I bought right away. It's gorgeous and my character looks awesome! LOL

btw---I found a little shack and have fallen in love with it. I can't wait til I can either learn the Creation Kit OR have a modder do it for me, but what I'd love to do is to fill in the blank walls where there are missing pieces of wood, to put a door in the empty doorway, clear out the cobwebs, and put a few decorations on the walls. I'm excited about that and hopefully I'll be able to do it or to have it done soon!

(This is Anise's shack btw, in case anyone else wants to check it out)

Anyway, I'm ready to climb into my monitor and live here so if you don't see me for a few days, I've left my body behind and am going to live in my character's body for awhile! (she's alot thinner than I am btw, so this would really be fun for me right now. lol)

Take care everyone and see ya soon,
Tracy

Thanks for your suggestion Anne, that worked.

Now, I'm on my first quest to get the golden claw from the bandits at Bleak Falls Barrow. I killed a bunch outside and went into the temple. Can't find the claw. There is a chest on upper level but I broke all my lockpicks trying to open it. Is it in there? Maybe I should go back to the trader and see if I can get some lockpicks from him.

I went further into the temple and now am stopped at a gate where if I pull the lever arrows shoot at me. Still trying to figure out if I need to go there, lol.

Hi everyone. I've been playing Skyrim for 260 hours now (with breaks ) and have not yet chosen which side to fight the Civil War with. For those of you that have chosen is there any advantage or difference between either side. I am sort of leaning towards the Imperials. Any thoughts?

I have played through twice and have chosen each side and in my opinion there is no difference in how it effects the game. So I would assume that it is just a matter of taste in which faction you prefer. I, myself, am more of a rebel so the Storm Clouds attracted me initially.

I've done the companion quests up until the one where you get lyncanthropy. Is this curable? I don't want the disease for the rest of the game although I'm willing to try it out on a temporary basis.

Rowan, yes it is curable. You can do it or not do it. I still have it in my quest book as I don't think I want to be a werewolf though son likes it.
