I'm considering building an online database of alchemy ingredients for Skyrim, one that would allow you to select a potion type, and then display all the pertinent ingredients, plus allow you to select those ingredients and show the exact effects of the resulting potion. Anybody think this is worth the time and effort? Or better: Anyone else already done this so I can move on to other useless activities?

I know there are probably thousands of articles like this on this site, but I have put together as much info as I could muster to create a balanced argument and find who really is in the right.

Weighing up the pros and cons of each side and comparing them gives a pretty clear picture of which army should win the war.

Some pros and cons cancel each other out, others don't have as much weight as some, but in the end a conclusion is made.

The link to the article is here:

The article says this too, but if you are RPing a specific character type, then one side may suit you more than the other, but if you're one of many who are playing in your own shoes and can't decide, this should help cle…

Arengor the Ancient is a Breton Master Wizard who was born to a Nord father and a Breton mother on the 6th of Heartfire in the Second Era. Arengor was taught the arts of magic by his mother after his father disowned the two of them when he was eight years old, his mother was reminded of Arengor's father everytime she heard his name because of it's Nordic origin.

'Arengor was born Arengor 'Storm-Blade, Arengor had a good life for a while, he had a few friends who he communicated with everyday but he did have trouble with a few bullies. Arengor was teased because of his name and his Race not connecting. He slowly learned to ignore the bullies and concentrate on learning the things he wanted to and communicating with people he wanted to. Everything seemed fine…

a couple staff members are interested in what faction you think are best.

What’s going on here? In this image, you can see a couple player characters battling some Storm Atronachs. Storm Atronach are a species of daedra (divine creatures that come from magical dimensions) that are constructed from stone and held together by magic. The most powerful of all the atronachs, Storm Atronach are immune to normal weapons and shock attacks, are resistant to poisons, and can reflect spells back at their caster.

Is that all? Behind the battle is a series of daedric ruins. These great towers were built long ago by an ancient race of people, but they’re not the only landmarks players will discover throughout their journey. As players travel through Skyrim, Morrowind, Cyrodiil, and the rest of Tamriel they will encounter vari…

Don't get me wrong, I love Skyrim. But I bet that almost 1 in 4 people playing Skyrim have not played Obilvion or Morrowind. Both are epic games, and the theme of morrowind is very calming. I have beaten both Oblivon and Skyrim, and a was more satisfied with Obilvion's ending then Skyrim's. Yes the Graphics are better, and so is the spell catsing, and others, but almost all the shouts in Skyrim can repilcateced in Oblivion:

Fus:paralisis for 1 sec, 1 damage health

Fus ro: 'parilis for 5 secs, 5 damage health'

FUS RO DAH: Parilis for 10 sec, 5 damage health for 3 seconds

Wuld: Increse speed 15

Wuld Nah: increase speed 30

Wuld Nah Est: increase speed 60

And so on. And With a Modding session, Dragons! See what I mean!

The new update for Skyrim is now released. If you still haven't heard what it is, it gives kinect users voice commands in-game. I have kinect and the actually voice commands are really useful in-game. There are over 200+ commands for the new update. If you don't have kinect then you'll have to wait till an actual update comes out for more features. Skyrim Kinect Commands

Also, here's a link to the Skyrim page for the commands if you don't want the PDF file. ( Thanks Jimee )

My personal preference is a fine Skyforge steel sword. I prefer it because I think it's a great all-purpose blade — it works well whether you're parrying out in a field or clearing a room full of bandits. It's certainly an improvement over an iron sword.

So, what about you? What's your preferred weapon in Skyrim, and why?

This has been bugging me for awhile, this is one of the main reasons I don't like the Nords too much, a prime example of this would be the Skyrim Civil War, where they are killing each other over whether they should secede from or stay loyal to the Empire instead of at least trying to debate the issue like civilized people. And of course Ulfric started the whole war when he killed Toryyg instead of at least asking him first to secede from the Empire, although that is probably because he wants to be crowned High King and doesn't really care about his country as he may say. But the point still stands, is Nordic culture too violent for its own good? And if so, does it need a drastic reform? What do you think?

i dont know why i gave my khajiit a humans name such as callet she is level 44 and she is working on her conjuration skill and i need help getting there any suggestions ???

she can summon and soultrap and also call a bow or sword she makes a good assassin

Hey, this is Hokorunevenaarin! Yes, it's a mouthful. But I recently thought of this idea. TES VI. The sequel to Skyrim. I think there needs o be a sequel to it, don't you? I know it takes 3-4 years for Bethesda to release the next game in the series, but I would like some ideas from you guys. If we could find some loopholes in some impossible scenarios for the next game ( e.x. The civil war in Skyrim where you could join either the Empire or the Stormcloaks to determine the fate of Skyrim) we could submit our ideas to Bethesda. IF they use our Ida's and they are GREAT then when we play it we will think to ourselves " we made Skyrim look like PAC-MAN ". So if you could lay down some ideas that would be awesome.

Thanks - Hokorunevenaarin (Ene…

Please check out my Skyrim Fan-fiction series: Out of Place If you have a deviantART account, it's located here: Click Me. This fan-fiction is intented to read like a real novel, but from the perspective of a woman from our world who was transported magically to Nirn, and specifically, the province of Skyrim.

Just a disclaimer: I won't be doing any pairings/shippings. If characters are naturally together, I'll keep that in. The main character may have a few relationships, potential ones, and even some flirting, but I am striving to keep it as close to real life. Instead of the typical "thing" a female would do, where it's too focused on romance, I want a more well-rounded story.

I try to be historically accurate as well as game accurate. I t…

When it comes to huge specualtions with virtually no evidence at all, I like to believe we TES Fans take the gold, so now it's time to do what we're famous for, my idea is..

Dawnguard is in Hammerfell, the remnants of Redguards of the Great War will team up with the rest of the empire.

They will force back the Aldmeri Dominion and form a coalition known as The Dawnguard.

This is just speculation not real info.

What do you think?

Bethblog.com have posted a picture of the upcoming DLC Dawnguard. They also wrote "Coming this summer to Xbox 360. More details at E3." so expect to see some more of dawnguard there!

I want a badass Argonian Shadowscale assassin name, my first Idea was Stabs-Many-Backs, but I'd prefer a Lore Friendly Non-Cyrodilic Name (Black Marsh Name) Got any ideas (Preferably one for an Assassin)

If you can't think of one, what would be the Black Marsh Version of "Stabs-Many-Backs"

Like "Hide-His-Eyes" would be Haj-Ei.

Everytime I go Underwater, my Ps3 freezes. Has this happend to anybody else?

Bethesda has announced on their Twitter account that we should all "Be on the lookout for the first DLC tomorrow". Yet they didn't say it would be a Skyrim DLC, but what else could it be? Now this obviosly has something to do with Skyrim, I feel like I know it will be. Actually Im positive, because they also said "In preporation for tomorrow, practice your Kinect shouting today", so yes, its definetly a Skyrim DLC! If you guys wanna know more, head over to Twitter and see it for yourself. Well I hope thats enough information, good day.

Bethasda! I have an idea for a DLC of Skyrim! One More epic then the Shivering isles (maybe). In a older blog post, i mentioned time travle. Well here it is. The courior comes to you and tells you (this is after the main quest) that, if you killed parthhanx "The greybeards need you, but their mad" and hands you a letter, or, if you didn't "the Greybeards want to see, you. That must be an honor" and hands you a letter. You read it, and it says soemtyhing like this: "The time wound has become unstable. Come and we shall explane more." you go their and you jump into a new time wound in High Hrothgar. Then, after Alduin is banished, the surivior, Jurgan windcaller tells you.

Just a little thing to kill time. I'm curious as to which Followers you had recruited into the Blades. Just wondering which ones you liked the most and wanted to put into this glorious, and respectable group. Also give me your favorite Followers and why you chose them.

My three blades were.

Aela the Huntress, Erik the Slayer, and Marcurio

Around September-ish, I remember reading two or three Skyrim previews in magazines like PC Gamer (I think) and one or two 360 publications, which were all pretty much identical as the writers had only the same press releases, trailers and screenshots upon which to base their piece. But they all said that arrows in Skyrim would be considered a 'rarity'. I remember that word distinctly. The articles are probably still available online. Yet as I open the game and look at my inventory and see many, many arrows of most types, I don't know whether a paucity of arrows throughout Skyrim would have had a pos/neg bearing on gameplay - certainly, it would have meant that my approach to combat or hunting scenarios would require more planning and thought,…

Everyone else made one, so why not me?

1. You can buy a house that has a forge and people can hire you to make weapons and armor
2. Armor for your horse
3. More questlines, like a war against the Thalmor
4. A questline where you join Kodlak and the other dead leaders of the Companions to free the people in Hircines Hunting Grounds
5. A way to go to Oblivion at will and do quests there
6. A questline where you find out what happened to the Dwemer and bring them back
7. A Falmar invasion of the surface world
8. More Daedric Artifacts

So, what do you think?

Is anyone else having the problem of not being able to comment or reply to anything in blogs? Whenever I click in the text box, the "post comment" button goes dark and won't post anything, but still type in the text box. Its the same with other wiki sites and it has been like this for two days now. Its not frustrating or anything, just an annoyance.

So following the Pete Hines tweet, we have some interesting news about the possible DLC.

Bethesda Forum user Karellan used a utility to scan the Patch 1.5.26 update file for valid strings. Below are the files he found (taken straight from his post):

Basically it suggests that the DLC will include:

• Snow elves
• Snow Elf Prince (also see Fall of the Snow Prince)
• Crossbows
• New vampire feeding animations
• Something prefixed 'RF'

Snow elf stuff:

I went to all 4 places and there was no silver hands only god damm bandits help

Okay the title says it all!

This is my ideas:

a Dwemer DLC

a Akaviri DLC

a DLC Who would let you go back in time

a DLC About the lost races

a DLC Who gives you new stuff

Bethesda's Pete Hines has suggested Skyrim lovers might finally hear more about the eagerly anticipated DLC next week.

"I am working on getting a little more info out on Skyrim/DLC," Hines posted on Twitter. "Maybe next week? We'll see. Also trying to confirm Kinect release date." We're not sure if this is the kind of leading "mayyyyyybe" we got accompanied by a cheeky smile when we asked our parents for a Super Nintendo for our birthday, or the sarcasm laden "huh, yeah, maybe" we got when we asked the rents if they were going to chip in and help out with Uni tuition fees. Either way we're at his mercy.

Though Bethesda's been cagey on DLC details, it's believed the new Skyrim content will include 'new quests, locations, features, and much mo…

i was thinking of instead of armors being one shape for a kind of armor (like iron armor only having one style) i think that different styles of armor should be made per material type. like maybe armor made of ebondy shaped more like wolf armor or steel plate armor likeearmor made of darven ingots.

For some reason no matter what I try, my editor is broken, I am forced to start a blog because this is the only thing I can actually publish, each time prior it either gives me "editor is loading" for an infinite time or it gives me absolutely nothing and publish option is greyed out... I need help with this ASAP (this is honestly the first successful edit I have been able to make (on firefox mainly but this is safari atm and that even was broken, I have cleared cache unsuccessfully)

It must be said that out of all the greatness that is Skyrim there is nothing like sharing your adventure. There are certainly many great MMO and MMORPG's out there. What I propose is most likely impossible, but gives me a great thrill to consider:

Skyrim Multiplayer.

This concept (in my mind) includes combat against other players' characters, having another player as a companion, multiple dialogue options as seen in Star Wars the Old Republic, and similar multiplie player attributes.

I am not savy in the ways of design, however, I have a vision in which Skyrim's massive world, with an experience unique to each player, be shared, not through just talking, blogs, etc., but in the game itself.

I have a few DLC ideas. For now, I'd like to tell you all about my "Control" spell idea:

• This spell will look almost just like a normal "Illusion spell," and will fall into that category.
• It will be black. When it fires, your view will be as if you are it.
• When it hits an enemy, you'll see in the POV of the enemy. Black energy will rim the screen.
• If the enemy is too high of a level, you will return to the POV of your character.
• You will be able to control the enemy and it's weapons. If you press the menu button (The one that displays items, skills, magic and the map) you will exit this perspective.
• It's worth saying that you WILL still be vulnerable while using this mode. There is a perk that can prevent damage whilst using this.
• Obviously, if you…

I ran into a really strange bug in Skyrim where my character became a headless man during the Compaions questline. Here's the events and details:

On my saves, I always use Argonian races. I was on the quest "The Silver Hand" and had just only gotten past the part of first werewolf transformation. I traveled up north to Gallows Rock and used the Ring of Hircine (Acquired through console command) to transform into a werewolf yet again. After feeding on the bodies of the silver hand outside, I waited a couple hours so I could get out of the werewolf form. When the hours passed, I was human and headless. There was no notable fix I could find for this other than loading a previous auto-save. Equipping a helm and armor did not help, so I think it…

Recently joined in order to help make contributions as well as get some more straightforawrd answers to questions no one has seemed to have encountered. Hopefully I'll have the support of the other members when dealing with the prior and latter. I look forward to helping out around here.

Take for example WoW, i like that game because it's fun, you turn into bears, cats and seals if you're a druid, tame pets if you're a hunter, etc.etc, but overall i think it's the highly stylized graphics. they're cartoony but yet they're sharp and appealing. the colours are bright and there's a vast, open world filled with other people. Those very traits can be found in nearly every mmo out there and then there's console games. gloomy, highly realistic, almost no originality, pretty boring unless there's loads of content and DLC, like skyrim, it's on pc to but it isn't an mmo. Skyrim is highly realistic, uncolourful, gloomy and too be blunt, it's kind of boring unless you play it on pc and mod the hell out of it. So it got me wondering, w…

Thank you Bears1234 for finding that.

In my second playthrough of Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, I began a focus on the Thieves Guild. In my quest to become guild master and obtain all the extra items that guild has to offer, I noticed that the Thieves Guild has as much character per se as the Main Quest. I became emerged into the role of a thief in skyrim with less effort than effort placed in being the Dragonborn.

I consider this experience a positive one, but one that provokes thought as to why it was designed so extensively. There are the two other major guilds: a mage of Winterhold and a Companion (representing the "Warriors Path") at the hold Whiterun. It is the Thieves Guild of Riften, however that really delivers a holistic adventure.

It can be speculated the designers of the …

Well people I found this picture and I thought I would share it with you.

This is more of a small observation, but I have seen that many people use the tags or headers 'notes' and 'trivia' interchangably while they are definately not the same. I'm not sure what policy this particular wiki has on those two terms, and often I did it wrong myself, but perhaps these few examples are appreciated by you (the reader). Or I'll get flamed, who knows! But here is in short:

• Notes describe a situation from an outside point of view, often looking at the whole as nothing more than a game, or describing an essential detail which when left out will work to the players disadvantage. e.g:

if you close the gate, you can't get back into the castle, but when left open you can revisit every months to loot all the chests and barrels aga…
