I really, really hope you're right. Else I may have to annihilate the entire city to keep my precious loot on shelves.

LOL, wonder what kind of AI that is that walks into your home and just rnadomly throws around items you spent time laying out. Would be priceless to capture.

Right.  I finally managed to resurrect him, by restoring a save where he was still alive, then clicked on him with the console open to get his ID #.  I then used that with the resurrect command as mentioned by Dona, (thanks, Dona) and it seemed to "take" but no Maurice. 

Then i used the map to fast travel to where i think i lost him, and after taking a few steps, there he was behind me again. 

Wow, but a certain place you go to for the tree quest is beautiful!  I'm not going to put that in spoiler tags, to encourage ppl to carry on with that quest if they haven't already!

Some items just seem to drop down when you enter an area. I've seen dragon bones just drop from a few meters up when I load an area where I've previously killed a dragon, so I guess a similar thing causes your home decoraiton issues.

That indeed seemed to be an issue while Lydia and Faendel were in the house, but not since they left. The items "thrown" by the random NPC were all where someone could reach (two low shelves and a table).

Yep, the tree sanctuary is beautiful! I really loved what you could do withSpoiler AlertNettlebane :>

36 hours in game, since it's been 72 hours ago that it has been released, that means i spent half my time playing skyrim this weekend.

I can't remember ever having spent that much time on a game, i love it!

Unfortunately i've got to go back to work tomorrow 

Question - do I need to be expert level lockpicker to be able to pick expert locks? I've been able to crack every lock so far no matter the difficulty, but there's this one expert lock I can't get open.

No, you can open locks above your skill level, though those far above your skill level might just be a waste of lockpicks to pick, as their sweet spot is so small. 

Yea, master/expert locks have a VERY tiny sweet spot to them, on top of that the locks break really really easy if you miss it.

That's why the lockpick perks aren't completely worthless.

there are some potions that help increase chances of picking a lock.

Are there any open lock spells in skyrim?

Let's hope so Mark! I am not looking forward to later on when I'm encountering 15 master-level locks in a single dungeon, and wasting 20 lockpicks on each! 

I also haven't worked out how to grab onto ledges, if that's even possible. I realize this isn't Tomb Raider, though it does feel like it at times in some of the dungeons

Unfortunately i've discovered such a dungeon. It's a huge one so i wasted >50 lockpicks on that one, when i ran out i used the console cheat to open them

What we really need is the ability to levitate like you had in Morrowind. That really helped to get to hard to reach places in dungeons. (although you had telekinesis in both Mwind and Ob) though I suspect in Skyrim you can hop on to boxes that you maneuvre, same as I used the "floating paintbrush"  glitch in Ob to stand on to reach some of those shiny Aeylid welkynd and varla stones that were out of reach.  I suspect they were meant to be reached via telekinesis; - I haven't spotted that spell in Skyrim yet, but apparently it is available in the game. (So I've heard)

Of course, just imagine how cool it would look if you could levitate over mountain and valley in Skyrim, and see all the scenery from an elevated vantage point!

Ahh, I see I logged into my "mistake" account.  And since you can't delete posts here...well, sorry.

I've used tcl to walk through or fly out of out of some glitchy places.  Thank goodness for the console.

*edit* I just ran into an interesting bug. I did the quest where you are supposed to retrieve 3 books. In the 1handed tree there is a perk that gives you a chance of performing a decapitation with a 1handed weapon when using a power attack. During the last fight in that quest, that perk triggered early on, but as this was supposed to be a bit of a boss battle, it did not kill the enemy. It did remove its head though, though that did not stop it from teleporting around, shouting things at me, and casting spells.

I tried that several times, but nothing happens when you click that button, the post you tried to delete just reappears with a comment 'last edit by ..."

Tried that already and, nope, doesn't work. 

It doesn't work for me either. 

Wow, this game's soundtrack is lovely.  I'm finding quite staisfyingly freaky things up North.  ..and found some Dwemer ruins!  Yay, it was something not included in Ob.  I hope one can enter them! 

There's one melody that plays just outside Whiterun that reminds me of Snake Eater theme. It's surreal.

Oh, and riding horsies (the navigation, anyway, for me) is finally fixed, but the horses are rather frail, always charge into combat though you can't do combat from their backs, and after i did a dungeon just now, my horse disappeared  ..  

Btw, I'm having surgery done tomorrow after which i'll probably not be able to play for about a week.  Oh, well, but it has to be done, so... 

Well anyway, you guys must all enjoy! I'll still pop in once or twice, probably, before i go in.  

*fingers crossed* everything will be ok, i'll burn a candle at my home in Whitherun. 

There seem to be at least 4 Dwemer ruins in the north, i don't know whether there are in the east or south because i haven't been there yet

Good luck with the surgey Trav, hope it goes well.

Jeremy Soule really did knock it out of the park with this soundtrack.   He's becoming the Hans Zimmer of game soundtracks. Tempting to buy the soundtrack that's coming out (4 cds, quite large), even think I might get the autographed version.

I have to say, I don't think I'm going to bother with companions/followers with this game, playing a melee character thiees npc folloers you can use just get int he way SOOOOOOO much in combat it's infurating, trying to attack thing sin melee and they jump right in front of your attacks an dthen you end up hitting them/making them go aggro toward you.

I have waaaay too much gold carrying around, but i don't seem to find anything i can buy with it. Nobody seems to sell any usefull spells or armor and i haven't found a way to buy a house in Riften or Windhelm so far.

It's getting a bit fustrating because i love to loot dungeons and spent my money on some goodies

I have found that if you go into the either enchanting or smithing trees you can get some good money sinks.

With Smithing I have spent a  couple thousand on supplies along (Iron/steel ore and ignots, leather, etc).

Whoa, this was kind of neat an unexpected.

In Whiterun make sure you read the books in Wizard's area of hte Jarl's castle. In the back left of his room there's another small room with two bookshelves there and books on them. A couple of the books lead to some "things" that you might be interested in.

It's neat how they actually people who read the in-game books things from them, something I wish more games would do that feature that.
