    I killed one dragon and looted the body but it wouldn't do the shiny "gimme ma soul" effect. Is this a bug or do some dragons not give a soul? it's like my 7th and hasn't happened before.

    I've killed maybe 20 dragons total so far, but 3 didn't give me their soul. Not sure why, but it doesn't seem like a big deal to me. I've got maybe 10 souls sitting there collecting dust with no Thu'um's to spend them on. :(

    I've noticed you need to loot them to get the soul. Doesn't seem to apply to all of them though, not sure why.


    I loot every dragon I kill, and still haven't gotten maybe 3 souls. Not a big deal though, the way I figure it is there's an unlimited number of dragons (since they can spawn/respawn) and a limited number of Thu'um's. I'll get 'em one way or another.

    Anyone done the quest Boethia's Calling? After i sacrifice someone she just keeps repeating herself when im gonna talk to her. Think its a bug...

    Did you get the next step in the quest? She tells you to go kill her current champion, cause she's "tired of him". If you successfully sacrificed someone and she's NOT prompting you the next step, then it's bugged. Also, did you make sure to kill them with the sacrificial dagger?

    Does anyone know anything further about where my screen shots are going after editing that file? I can't find where they're going.

    posted a message on Sevensided strike + wave of light waste of skills now?
    Quote from Raskolnikov

    They reduced the spirit cost for Seven Sided Strike to 50. They also removed the cooldown from Wave of Light and gave it a massive damage boost- Pillar of the ancients now does 330% + 432%. So they didn't only get nerfed, they're just trying to make other skills just as good.

    FYI it (Pillar of the Ancients) was a bonus 500% before, so it's less now than it was.

    How do you screenshot while in Skyrim? :(

    I had trouble with this, too, but I figured it out!

    Go to My Documents/My Games/Skyrim and in it, you should see Saves folder, RendererInfo
    , Skyrim and SkyrimPrefs. Open Skyrim file using Note Pad (it should open it on default with it) and on the top, you will see this:

    [Display]
    sD3DDevice="Your graphic card model"

    Under that, just add bAllowScreenshot=1, and it's all set up! Use Print Screen to take screenshots. Enjoy! :)

    I was super excited when I saw someone might know how to help me! I went to my "C:\Users\MYUSERNAME\Documents\My Games\Skyrim\Saves" but in the folder I don't have any RendererInfo, Skyrim and SkyrimPrefs files.

    I have 7 items in the folder;
    • autosave1
    • autosave1.ess.bak
    • autosave2
    • autosave2.ess.bak
    • autosave3
    • autosave3.ess.bak
    • Save NUMBER - CHARACTERNAME Skyrim 46.02.27

    That's it... Whenever I try an open any of these files (with Notepad) it results in my Notepad going "Not Responding" and sitting like that. :(

    I think he means outside the saves folder... as in, in the folder where the saves folder is at. That would be C:\Users\MYUSERNAME\Documents\My Games\Skyrim\. In the folder Skyrim, there should be a file named Skyrim, which you need to edit

    EDIT: Personally, I didn't find it. I don't have an original copy though, maybe that's why.

    Yes, it is the file outside the Saves folder! It has nothing to do with the game being original or not, it's an .ini file that simply must exist! It has to look like this:



    Ah okay, found the file where you said & edited it as well. Now I must ask though, where are my screen shots going? When I hit print screen I still can't hit paste in Photoshop (there's nothing to paste).

    Just an FYI here, you know you can also simply press your Print screen button on your keyboard and the screenshot will be saved under something like this "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim". Perhaps it's easier to keep your images on steam instead? I don't know :P

    I'm asking on behalf of my friend, who doesn't have a "Steam Version" (if you know what I mean). Print Screen is worthless for him, it does nothing.

    Is there any way to craft arrows? At the forge you can only make armor and weapons. I havent done anything with the mills yet, im going to go find one and chack that now.

    I'm pretty sure you can't make arrows, sadly. I wish it was an option of smithing, or maybe some fletcher option from another trainer? Anything would be better than having to check 3-4 different vendors so I can get a full (50-ish) supply of Glass Arrows.

    So I am fairly new t the elder scrolls and I have few questions. First, I play on the ps3 I know how to favorite things but can I assign like a hotswap to I'm at work right now and don't have the book to see in there. Second, sleeping Is there any reason to do it? If so how long is just enough? Third, I want to go see the greybeards but that damn frost troll kicks my ass any tips/tricks to kill it? And lastly is their a trader I can sell literally anything from my inventory? I've noticed that none of the traders will buy my dragon bones. Btw I am currently level 12. Any info/help would greatly help I am really enjoying the game so far!

    Lots of questions you have here, so I'll just answer a few. As far as vendors go, most only want to buy things similar to what they sell. Blacksmith people will buy ingots, armor, and weapons. Potion dealers want to buy ingredients, food, and potions. There are General Goods vendors however, that will literally buy any type of item (not-stolen) that you would like to sell. FYI you might not want to sell your dragon bones/dragon scales, because they're used to smith Dragon Armor. Hope this info was helpful.

    Has anyone figured out a real downside of being a werewolf?

    I haven't found any yet EXCEPT a few inconveniences. You can't loot while werewolf, you're stuck in 3rd person view (which I dislike for combat), you can't block any attacks, and you can't open your inventory whatsoever.

    Edit: Also, those with the blood of the werewolf can't gain resting bonus', i.e. if you are able to turn into a werewolf (doesn't have anything to do with if you are or aren't currently in werewolf form).

    Yeah, I haven't found any serious downsides to it, but I haven't found any huge upsides either. I cured myself just cause I didn't like the combat.

    At the very least I'll keep it for 100% disease resistance, and just not use beast form. Though, I kinda like the transformation, even if it's not good for fighting dragons lol.

    Has anyone else found "Treasure Map VII (7)"? The drawing on it is super vague and I can't tell where the hell it's trying to point out.

    Edit: Found "Treasure Map VIII (8)" also, still more random vague drawings. Anyone have any luck?

    I have the game guide so have looked for you -
    Map 7 - Gallows Rock - Treasure is under the rock with the noose.
    Map 8 - Dragon Bridge Town - In a satchel next to the tree across from the bridge is a key to unlock the chest in the river north east of the bridge underwater.

    Sorry I took a while to respond to this, but where's Gallows Rock & Dragon Bridge Town? As far as, in relation to major cities I might already have on my map.
