Had to do a double post to separate this one out, as it is applicable to the Elder Scrolls and provides a great laugh:

The Bee Gees Staying Alive by Oblivion NPC's

I've helped everyone in Riften, including the Stable hand who wants to fight, but unfortunately the Skooma quest is impossible since the addict seems to be dead already. She's in the Crypt. That's the critical quest, it seems. Maybe I assassinated her? That doesn't make sense, though because I joined the Guild much later in the game.

Oh, well, Not really an issue. It's a lousy house anyway.


That Staying Alive video is hilarious. I was actually laughing out loud.

Imagine the amount of time it must have taken to put that together.

Hmmm, that's odd. I would think she'd be marked "essential" by the game and not able to be killed. Check who the Argonian is in the crypt, there are two females that engage quests with you. One is Wujeeta, she's the one that asks you for a health potion and that you can later ask where she gets her skooma. The other is From-Deepest-Fathoms, who is walking around talking to herself and eventually ask you to, "Take the Lexicon to Avanchnzel" I'm assuming she might be marked as essential up until the point she gives you the quest, or it might be assumed that she could be looted after death kicking off the quest that way. Not sure.

I did From Deepest Fathom's quest, but she was definitely dead because I found the Lexicon in the crypt, and I think she was a Guild target. Maybe that disqualifies her quest from counting.

As to the Skooma quest, I do vaguely remember doing that one one right at the start of the game. I'll check the name of the quest and see if I can find it in my completed quest list (wish there was a way of alphabetizing it).

The thing is, in all the times I've played this game I have never had Honeyside, so there's something very odd about it anyway. I've run out of people to help in Riften and even outside Riften, where there are a couple of quests.


Revered Dragons are still not too difficult on Expert so I guess I'll have to take the plunge and go Legendary just for a while to see how it is. The last Revered Dragon on Expert coughed up a full set of Deadric armour, which was pretty nice.

I did some checking and apparently Bethesda in their wisdom did not mark Wujeeta as essential, which is just silly. That skooma quest with her must be completed in order to trigger the potential to become Thane and purchase Honeyside. If you know where her body is, you can try the "resurrect" command on her through the console. Just open the console, click on her body which will populate her ID in the center top of the console area, type resurrect and hit enter. The console will fill with some odd phrases, but once you drop the console Wujeeta should be alive again and you can trigger the quest if you haven't done it already. If you have done the Skooma quest, and the Jarl's dialogue option "Is there anything else I can do my Jarl" doesn't come up, then you've got a bug. Could be caused by a mod...

If you can't locate Wujeeta in Rifton or sweeping the dock by the fishery, there is a way to determine if she is actually dead, resurrect her and engage the quest, but it's a long drawn out process. Here's the long and short of it in the first post of this forum page : https://forums.nexusmods.com/index....-is-deadcant-be-thanebuy-housefixfixfix/


Edit: Legendary can be fun and frustrating. I hit a cave that had an enumerable amount of Bandit Chiefs, it was ridiculous. After the battle I was thinking, "The executive bathroom must have gotten really crowded after lunchtime around here" lol

Yep. Wujeeta is dead. I can't find her body anywhere in the crypt, but there is a coffin with her name on it. I guess that's that. And I guess she always dies, since dragons attack Riften. I can't be bothered, but honestly, what a boneheaded move.

The other problem is Brand-Shei. Apparently, he is one of the people you have to help, but if you want to get into the Thieves' Guild, you have to send him to jail. Really, really dumb. I don't think he's essential, though.

You can try forcing the quest stage that gives you the journal entry to talk to the Jarl about Sarthis Idren. I can't guarantee it will work though. According to the previous walkthrough the console only allows the quest stage 200 to be forced, but that seems like it might cause an issue, because it triggers a secondary quest. I would try the following first just for grins.

Open the console and type the following: setstage FreeformRiften12 20 and hit enter.

Note that FreeformRiften12 is all one entry, but there is a space between that and 20, as 20 is the quest stage.

If that works, the entry, "Report Sarthis Idren to the Jarl of Riften" should appear in your Journal.

I'll give that a shot. I've tried a couple of other ones that didn't work, but we'll see.

I'm busy cleaning up my quest log now and trying to avoid getting any new ones, just for now. I haven't decided which faction to join. The Stormcloaks are all righteous and manly and sound like the Governator but I'm not keen on Ulfric's view of other races. Since I'm a High Elf perhaps I'll go Empire this time.

I'm a treehugger so I always stay neutral through the main quest (says the guy who pulls wings off butterflies and slaughters elderly orphanage managers lol )

It's really tough to be a good guy. I mean, just the basic thievery that takes place pretty much disqualifies you from sainthood right off the bat. I do feel a bit bad about those Monarch butterflies, though.


EDIT: You know, the one thing that really bugs me about this game is that all that food lying around makes me hungry all the time. Cheese, cake, bread, sweet rolls, taffy. It's the blue cheese rounds that really gets to me though. I have blocks of Stilton in my freezer and they're calling me. lol

It's the beef and venison steaks that always gets me. Makes me want to throw one on the BBQ grin

I ran into my first Serpentine Dragon (still on Expert, though). Nothing special about the loot.

I'm down in the Lost city at the moment. What a great mod it is.

EDIT: I mean The Forgotten City, of course. Lost, City, Forgotten City...whatever. It ain't lost no more.

Never had much trouble with Serpentine Dragons. They could really use an orthodontist though lol

Those always reminded me of the mounts used by the Nazgul in the Fellowship of the Ring movie.

They do look like Nazgul. The one I keep running into is on Solstheim, right bang smack in the midst of a nest of high-level undead. Chaos ensues, because everyone is fighting everyone else. If the dragon isn't trying to kill me with its magic, I'm getting tossed arse over teakettle by a Foos-roh-da attack.

Yeah, Solstheim is built for high-level characters that's for sure. That temple with the Serpentine Dragon is a big challenge even at higher levels. It's usually populated with Druegr Death Overlords, Death Lords and Wights with that Unrelenting Force shout. I used to dread facing Druegrs with that thu'um. Always seemed like they'd hit you with that, then all the others would unload arrows that drop your health down to just about nothing by the time your character gets their feet under them again.

Helps if you go in with a ward ready to go, that averts the shouts like a spell. Although, it's hard if you're relying on Bow for offense. Conjuration is a big help, even if it's just to distract the Death Lords. Personally, I think the best all around Conjuration spells from that Apocalypse Spell mod are Avenging Wraith and Dremora Champion. The Avenging Wraith is available at Novice level, and at first seems weak. Because it comes back with 125% of the attributes of the last foe that killed it (once you re-conjur it), they can eventually hold their own at higher levels. I wouldn't have been able to beat that undead Imperial commander at the fort on Solstheim if not for that spell. Dremora Champion isn't available until Expert level, but is totally worth it. He does really good damage with his axe, which also either staggers or sends the attacker air borne, giving you a chance to lay into them with spells or arrows.

I like getting to Solstheim early so I can do a couple errands for Neloth in Tel Mythrin, so I can train Enchantment up to 90 - although it's massively expensive. I usually sneak all the way to Tel Mythryn, grabbing a heart-stone on the way to give to him. Either that or just run like hell, because prior to level 25 or 30 everything on the island seems way powerful. Those stupid Ash beasties take forever to take down and always seem to run in threes.

I like to drop in on that temple unannounced, by quick travel. That seems to really stir things up. lol The dragon starts to attack the draughr, then they see me. Shadowmere gets into the act. Good times.

It's really hard to level up at this point. I've had to start using a shield just for the levels.

Yeah, that area can turn into a real ruckus. Skyrim's version of Shadowmere is cool, but the Oblivion version seemed more aggressive. I recall more than once, I'd leave Shadowmere outside the city gates, and he'd be no where to be found later. That is until I found the trail of dead bandit bodies - That's a good demon horsey devil
lol

Shadowmere is a great companion, which is a good thing since she comes with you whether you want her to or not (obviously, Shadowmere is a mare in my game. grin)

I just had a crashing disappointment -- got my Conjuration up to 100, did the the quest for the special uber-spell, and it turns out I already had it. I guess I must have picked it up on Solstheim. I'm still looking for the pieces of the special Elemental spell but at this point I think cheating is in order.

This gives you the actual names of the locations. Then you can check them on the online Skyrim map. grin

Thanks. I'll get on that.

I obviously haven't played through Dawnguard in the last few years. What a great expansions it is. Some of the Forgotten Vale music is stunningly lovely. Wish I could find it on Spotify. They've got just about everything else Jeremy Soule, but not that.

EDIT: Okay, I'm now joining the Companions and about to become a wolfie. Looks like I'm going for the whole game this time. Every level gain is now a horrible slog that takes forever.

I thought I was more or less invincible but those darned Briarhearts seem to be leveling up ahead of me.

EDIT: I'm just about to finish the main Dragonborn quest, about to take on Alduin, and that should be about it now, with nothing left to do but endless radiant quests for the various factions, all of which I rule. Finally made it to level 72 by turning my mage into a one-handed/shield fighter, albeit one with a very low Health and Stamina. Nothing beats a heavily enchanted and upgraded dagger or two, though. Fast and deadly.

...Just noticed that the Wyrmstooth mod is available again. I haven't played it but might check it out.
