Almost the DB quests, what quest are you talking about ?



The one before you get the note from the brotherhood, the pre db quest.

I'm playing on master and if I bring Lydia I have to spend all my mana healing her or goes down in 10-15 seconds more often than not. So it's just me, my atronachs and loads of kiting now.

Might take her with me if I decide to powerlevel restoration though..


Im playing on Master and Expert, moving around some, mostly master tho, and i found the NPC to good, at least at the start of the game.

Its not that they to much dmg, they tend to do very little dmg, but they can take way to much dmg. It was to easy to let lydia in this case engage first and then for me to kill the enemys with my 2-handed expert. So i found it to easy so i left her home in the dusty corner ;D

The game balance is a bit fucked imo. I want the enemy's to do much dmg but they should not get 10000 HP at the same time, it just makes the game tedious.

Would also be nice to see a bit more balance between different lvls of the same enemy's.

Like Bandit, Bandit Chief and Bandit whatever, the diff should be less striking. Make the weakest stronger and the strongest weaker.

heck if you wait 24/7 every time for companion to engage, it must be very tedious, , not to mention considering being suck or blocking companion 24/7

i personally clear half of dungeons myself and companion being left behind trailing or stuck somewhere.. and he ports to me after i exit.. and as 2 hander user, some casters are close to impossible to take out alone, without major luck.. so you kinda need that meat shield. unless you have habit of chucking 20 potions every fight

Get your mouse over it or use W/S then press R(unlock) and it's done.

Are you sure you're pressing the right button to unlock? Open the Magic menu, then Shouts, then go to the new shout you want and press R.

I'm positive it's not a bug, you're just not doing it right.

You have to press the "unlock shout" key when you're in the shouts menu. The key binding for it should show up in the bottom left of the screen.

yeah thats the problem i had too. i didnt notice the 'unlock shout' thing. i just thought i had to click it to activate and use it.

i guess they added that function in for the twitchy console players who kept selecting shit they didnt want or something...

I guess experiences with companions depends on playstyle. I don't like hanging in the back and waiting untill I can get some hits in. It'll probably work, but would be boring. In the beginning the companions are indeed strong, but wait till you hit level 15 and get surrounded by outlaws and chiefs. Your companion won't last long then.

Is there some kind of cure disease spell?

looks horrible both ways, how can you play with some much blur, and those colors are just worse.. it reduces your massive blur by a bit.. but thats hardly the solution to removing blur thats easily removed in options

Drops sometimes for me tho, depends on the spot.

In my last post, first screenshot, gave me 10fps diffrence, other positions are just fine (for now.)

You guys know you can upgrade your companion with better gear/weapons etc etc right?

@Rifleman

I really don't like that one :\ The comparison shots are rather unflattering to say the least. It doesn't look more realistic, it just looks less colourful (lololol) and significantly darker. I mean,

BEFORE: http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/images/191-1-1321306142.png
AFTER: http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/images/191-2-1321306142.png

SERIOUSLY?? The "after" looks so much worse Sad It's not sharper, it's just darker and more muted.

i think you need at least 1 point in sneaking to do those missions.. at least thats what i have.. 1 point.. and didnt have any problem..



And how do you kill those people ? Direct hits to the face or a backstab ?


I have zero points in sneaking, i switch to wear the dark brotherhood armor everytime i do though, it does seem to help a little bit. (it doesnt weigh a lot so i always carry it around)
I wear two daggers, one quite powerful one that was a reward from a Daedric quest.
Make sure when you kill someone that both you & him are out of line of sight from anything nearby, make sure you are in sneaking 'mode' and that your weapons are out, right before you stab him in the back, hold the daggerbutton in so you'll get a 3x damage sneaking attack, most will die from that, if the dagger is good enough.

Sometimes it does take me a few tries (i tend to quicksave right before i try to kill someone just so i can try a few times in case) to get it right though, because often it's not easy to line of sight everything if you're not a sneaky specced character.

I'm still with Keyser on this. With a tiny bit of red and power/saturation reduction, it's looking outstanding. Doesn't lose the Skyrim feel (snowy weather looks fantastic) but gets rid of that desaturation and brings some colour back to it. Thanks again Keyser =)

Np dude, fun you like it!

For me it really made the game much more immersive with some colors in there.
