[lizardisok]

I pick up books to gain skills also

So I'm beating the game to get a hammer? Awwe now the ending is ruined Clarkey!

 

[lizardisok]

Is there any good underwater venturing?

 

[JClarke1953]

I forgot to ask, did you stop at the Altar's on the way up the 7-thousand step's?

If not, you can return and visit them.

Not much really, short of collecting certain fish for Alchemy. There are boat's/ship's on the shore's that you can dive to and check for loot.

 

[lizardisok]

Fish are great to catch, do they replenish?

Not sure if I stopped at the Altar's

were they the things that people drop money and ingredients on? If so, I only remember one

I'm unsure, but using Google will may help you more quickly than posting questions and waiting for answers.

That's a contridiction to your usual reply.

what is an alar then?

On the way to High Hrothgar, there are a number of altars (little statues in sort of a half-shell backing) which tell the story of the dragon language coming to the mortal races. If you read each one, it grants you a gift, in that animals and creatures will not attack you for 24 hours.

I'm unsure what you mean by a "contradiction" to my usual reply? I thought to encourage you to go to Google to find what your quests, jobs or whatever to see how they work, the alternatives, possible bug's/glitches and answer's if any about them.

 

[lizardisok]

I do both. I was just loooking for how to find Elder SCroll online and couldn't find the answer, but I jus figured it out on my own. Besides that, I like to hear what other players have to say. It's fun like that

I didn't mean anything by contradiction JClarke, for lack of better wording anyhow I just meant that you usually say to slow down.

 

[lizardisok]

I can't find the elder scroll on ELDER KNOWLEDGE

will someone please help?

I think it's somewhere in Winterhold on a bridge

 

[Lucid]

You've got a lot of steps ahead of you before you lay hands on that scroll. Go to the College in Winterhold and get info on the scroll from the Orc librarian. He will point you to a nutty mage further north, who will point you to where you will find the scroll. It's an...interesting set of experiences. Eyes open.

 

[lizardisok]

lol

Hello Lucid. I'm trying to locate the nutty mage right now. Seems like i have 3 Main Quests running.. don't know which one to check. There's another one that looks fun too. It's called Lesson 1... and well..

on to the crazy guy!

 

[JoeReese]

Lizard, if you didn't already do so, go into your quest log and deactivate all but whatever quest you want to work on at the moment, so you'll have only one arrow to follow. If you happen upon something related to another quest, it will still trigger it, but it's a lot less confusing.

To find the nutty mage, Septimus (hoo boy, is he out there) go to your map and look just a little north of the College. You'll have to run down the cliffs from the entrance way, and then cross the water.

 

[lizardisok]

SHould I pickpocket and kill the aspiring mage?
He has a valuable staff and gem.... and is just wandering/practicing magic in the woods

 

[JClarke1953]

Which one where? If you try and get caught, better run!

 

[JoeReese]

Nah, you have dialog to either buy it from him or have him give it to you. You can also intimidate, but he's harmless. It's basically a game mechanic, presenting you with a chance to buy a staff cheap.

 

[lizardisok]

I think he was selling potions or ingredients, I will have to re-load and find out. An ice wraith killed him the first time, and I seen what he had, but then I played it again and saved him, but decided to try and intimidate, when that didn't work I just took one swing and took his belongings.

I haven't had any luck with intimidating them thus far

 

[lizardisok]

- You must choose to have Elenwen stay or leave
- You must choose to give up Markarth or Riften
- You must decide a counter offer for giving up Markarth or Riften
- You must decide on additional concessions for the weaker side

Any advice at this point?

 

[Lucid]

Have you taken a side in the civil war? If not, go with your gut or flip a coin for each. No decisions you make here have a significant impact on how the main quest proceeds.

On subsequent playthroughs (if you do so) you'll have more familiarity with the holds and the impact of your decision and you may feel differently, but ultimately it doesn't matter.

If you have a current bounty in any of the holds up for negotiation, you can choose to have them change hands and your bounty will be cleared under the new Jarl(s).
