    Xbox 360 Still trying to get 'Purity'

    Thanks for the reply, The only other quests I have had active have been Main Quest, Civil War, and DLC. I have been doing quest-after-quest-after-quest for the companions (mostly Farkas, in hopes of curing him first) -- but nothing. Farkas has indeed changed from "I'm looking for work" to...

    Xbox 360 Still trying to get 'Purity'

    Does anyone have a solid, proof-backed sense of the requirements for getting Farkas and/or Vilkas to offer their respective 'Purity' quests? In particular, is it actually possible to get the quest after curing yourself of lycanthropy? Does it have anything to do with the 'state' of the...

    Purity/Cure

    Thanks man! If that's true, it completely solves my problem. For RP reasons, I can't stand the idea (at least for certain characters) of waiting until curing the brothers to cure myself. Not sure where I heard that this wasn't possible though...

    Purity/Cure

    So, I've been trying to get the Purity quests for the Companions, and they haven't been showing up for Vilkas or Farkas. I have all of the necessary conditions: I have done multiple radiant quests for each WITH Glenmoril Witch heads in my inventory the entire time. However, something has...

    Never thought I'd say this but,

    I dig the Modern Warfare CODs, as well as the original WWII entries, but I too play them primarily for the story (belive it or not). That being said, I don't even consider them on the same plane as The Elder Scrolls. Games like COD are nice temporary 'release' methods - Skyrim is an...

    Oblivion and Skyrim

    The ability to speak to almost anyone, even if only about rumours or generic information. Also, I will hand it to the cities/settlements in Oblivion for being quite a bit more cyrodiilic than Skyrim's cities are nordic. Although I don't specifically miss Oblivion's version of the Imperial...

    The Beast Stone?...

    Adam Warlock: Awesome story man! I love experiences like that. I've started to wonder if Bethesda's whole decision to remove most of the 'curse' aspect from lycanthropy (as in, unless you are wearing Hircine's cursed ring, you can transform entirely at will and are not victim to your 'urges')...

    The Beast Stone?...

    Thanks for the response. You make some interesting points. That being said, it is still suggested that lycanthropes - regardless of origin - represent an abomination of nature (in other words, an affront to the natural domain of the All-Maker that the Skaal worship). I mean, the entire plot of...

    The Beast Stone?...

    Ok, so maybe I'm missing something, but is it not bizarre that The Beast Stone gives you the ability to summon a werebear? It was my solid understanding that the Skaal (and thus, the All-Maker) had serious issues with the whole lycanthropy thing - in part at least due to the fact that it is...

    Quests that you avoid

    Yeah. During 'A Cornered Rat', you are supposed to contact Brynjolf and do the whole 'joining the thieves guild' in order to discover Esbern's location. Even though this would usually begin as a misc quest - if you pursue it AS PART of 'A Cornered Rat', it is included as part of the quest's...

    Quests that you avoid

    I get what you're saying. Really - as far as the Forsworn Conspiracy is concerned - it's down to deciding what I think is best in the long run. I'm trying to decide between doing the quest and killing Madanach OR pursuing civil war and giving Markarth to Stormcloaks (failing/removing said...

    Quests that you avoid

    Thanks for the advice man. I'm atm considering just letting the whole Forsworn Conspiracy thing disappear following my giving of Markarth to the Stormcloaks. This is because I have issues with helping both Madanach or Thonar. I feel like my Skaal wouldn't get involved in that. AT THE SAME TIME...

    Quests that you avoid

    I know, the whole stacking titles thing is kind of bizarre. I think it would be kind of cool if their was a way of definitively associating titles with your character's name (although I guess people can do that when naming character's in the first place). For instance - pursuing the Stormcloak...

    Quests that you avoid

    Hey guys, I was curious about this, seeing as - as I mentioned in a previous thread - I am currently RPing a Nord born of the Skaal, and I have particularly been trying to decide which quests to do or, in some cases more importantly, skip - paying attention to the values of my character. For...

    Skaal Tribe

    Exactly. The Skaal are the closest imo to how Nord culture is depicted through the lore - even though they don't technically follow the Nordic Pantheon. Oh how I wish they were given more than a small part of a small island.

    Skaal Tribe

    The Skaal are what I live for. imho, they are the truest interpretation of Nord culture. I think it's a damn shame that the vast majority of Nords in skyrim are given such a bland and 'Cyrodiil with more snow and mead' representation. I understand that there would be many cultural differences...

    Hircine's Favor

    Exactly. I don't think it makes any sense to have the ****ty version of the Ring of Hircine as well (and it shouldn't be possible w/out mods or something). The way I see it, although I am no fan of the daedra, the fact is that they exist - and sometimes the best thing one can do is go along...

    Hircine's Favor

    I'm afraid my character is not a back-stabber. He doesn't make promises and then betray their trust. I think RP wise, it makes the most sense to simply kill him straight up. I have no need for the Ring of Hircine, but I can make use of Savior's Hide. And I have no real reason to kill the...

    Hircine's Favor

    Yeah, interesting idea. I think the main issue with the werewolf thing is that with Skyrim they kind of muddled up perspective on it. What I mean is that it is slightly harder to see it as a curse (although I still do). And since it is so heavily tied to The Companions questline, I think they'd...

    Xbox 360 Weapon Clean-up

    Thanks JClarke1953, I'll be sure to keep that in mind as well. Unfortunately, it has become known that this weapon clean-up issue IS present on the Xbox and does lead to save file bloat. As far as I'm aware of, it primarily occurs with randomly encountered NPCs - where after killing them, the...
