If I join the companions, will that keep me from joining the Thieve's Guild? or the Dark Brotherhood?

I'm having a bit of trouble in certain areas with NPC's faces disappearing in Skyrim on PC. It's very odd because their skin and eyes are no where to be found but their facial hair stays intact. It's a very troubling problem, as you can see: Yup, he's definitely seen better days. Is anyone el...

In Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, the player had to concern themselves with what level they chose to start and complete quests due to the quality of the reward being based on their level. Is this Level:Reward ratio still a part of the Elder Scrolls series in Skyrim?

I had parked my follower at an inn with a bunch of valuable items that I didn't want to carry. I guess I have been out a bit too long as the message appears 'Your follower tires of waiting and leaves. How can I get my things and the follower back?

I've started slaying dragons (like all good Dohvakiin must), and with each beastie I down, I'm getting close to 200 lbs of loot, mostly in the form of Dragon Bones and Scales. These two items are high weight, and high value, but I can't seem to find any actual use for them, especially since most ...

I'm finding a lot of vegetables on my travels through Skyrim. Two in particular, the Carrot and the Potato, don't show up in any of the cooking recipes I started out with. Is there some method to learn new cooking recipes in-game, or are you stuck with what you know at the start? If not, is the...

I'd like to find a place to store stuff while I'm out adventuring, without spending 5000 on a house (at least, until I can afford that...). Where can I safely store items without worrying about them disappearing? There are two possible places that come to mind, Gerder's house (to which I have t...

When watching this video I see him quickly change his weapons and spells during combat. When he later goes inside his items, you can see a second smaller arrow next to the weapon that you can quickly change to in combat. How can I set such an alternative so that I can quickly switch weapon? The ...

I was screwing around in skyrim and accidently got caught lockpicking something. I have a habbit of stealing tons of stuff so if I pay bounty, or go to jail, I lose most of my stuff. The only way I've managed to get out of it so far is to either pay 100 gold or so because I'm a member of the Thie...

When I... kill someone in a city, enter a house and leave a house OR kill someone in a dungeon, leave the dungeon and enter the dungeon ... will the bodies of the dead people disappear or can I still come back to loot them?

There are a number of people in Skyrim that are willing to train me in various skills in exchange for some money. There is a counter "times trained this level" in the dialog for the number of times you have trained, so it seems the number of times you can train is limited. I'm not really sure ...

Don't remember much but I will try. You can lead a team of men who go to different locations to eliminate aliens who have landed in different towns. You equip your team with scientists and infantry men to learn about and eliminate aliens. It's turn based 2D game that came out around 96' 97' and I...

We used to play a nice strategic video game which I don't remember it's name. There was four races: Outlaws, Nats (which were Indians), Mexico and another one which I also forgot.

Possible Spoilers Follow I think I did something wrong in the Hircine's Ring/Sinding the Werewolf quest because now there seems to be no way to complete it. After killing the beast and summoning Hircine, I went to kill the other hunters. They were already dead (except one of them who was dying...

I'd like to raise my lockpicking skill so that when I come across higher level locks I'm able to pick them, but sometimes I come across locked doors that I already have a key to. Is there a way for me to pick the lock on the door without using the key?

While selecting perks for my first two levels I've noticed that plenty of them state that they "Require: 30", for example, but didn't really have long enough last night to play around and find out what the perk required 30 of. So what is it that perks require a certain value of? Level in that sk...

0 down vote Well Im having a huge problem with that one... I wanted to help Gerud in Riverwood who asked me to warn the Jarl of Whiterun about the dragon attack, so when I get there I warn him and he immediately sends me off to get the dragonstone. Oh ok, so I go on kicking ass until I get to th...

Most of the times (always?) there is an icon next to the squad leader's name (see picture below). I'm not talking about the class icon which is visible for all squad members, but rather the icon between the class icon and the name.

"Midnight Leaves" is a puzzle-game which takes part in the IGF 2012. A demo is available on the author's website. I am currently stuck in World 2-4.

I have 30 archery after I trained it a bit. I chose the Eagle Eye perk which required 30 archery. However, the skill is in bright red and only shows 20. I assume I have a debuff of some kind, but going to Magic->Active Effects shows nothing that would cause that. Any ideas?

I've just got my first follower, and I'm wondering if I can get a second person to follow me. Is the game limited to one or two follower(s) or does it allow for a large number of followers? It really seems handy to me to have some followers protect me when I draw attention from a larger group, or...

Apparently I have Witbane, although I don't remember contracting it. Last time I got a disease, I was only informed of it because a random passerby on the road offered to cure it for me. Wandering the countryside in hopes of a benevolent priest is obviously not a reliable way to go about curing t...

I just got to the part where I can use my hands, and the first thing I did was open a chest. I couldn't work out how to close it, so started pressing buttons to see what worked. I've now opened the chat/dev console, and can't get rid of it.

I noticed that every shout has place for 3 words in the menu. What's confusing me is that I found a shout which already has all of the 3 shouts listed, but greyed out so I can learn them, while others (for example the fire damage shout) only have one word listed and greyed out. Are there really ...

Other than adding the 2 tags skyrim and modern-warfare-3 to Ignored tags and skimming past them, is there a method of seeing everything not tagged with those two items? Can you view all items not tagged with multiple tags or even a single tag? I see the search does support the - operator on a ta...

I remember being on vacation with my family sometime in the late 1980s or early 1990s; on that vacation, we stopped at a hotel that had a small arcade area. I remember watching my brothers play a certain coin-op arcade game that I'm trying to identify. The (admittedly limited) salient characteris...

After escaping the dragon in the beginning of the game, some guy of which I don't remember the name has helped me escape the dragon and took me through a first area all the way to a town. This is where I decided to try out stealing stuff; I killed the first three guys that chased me and entered a...

Is there a point where any additional workers won't speed up the harvesting process of minerals or gas from a certain mineral field or refinery?

In the "Welcome to the jungle" mission, your goal is to, as Terran, collect seven canisters of a mysterious gas before the inhabiting Protos army annihilates you or seal of to many canisters. Air resistance is heavy, and the Protos are aggressive in their attacks against you and the canister site...

Can this result in his death because he enters a strong battle? If this can cause me to lose him, can I somehow give him a ho...

In theory, you can play your character any way you want and combine any skills you want to build your character. But in some games, splitting your focus between too many unrelated skills just leads to a subpar character (e.g. you may be level 10 but because of your mix of skills, you struggle a ...

When using Alt+Tab, I can't seem to get back to Skyrim. Clicking it's icon or Alt+Tab to get back, I just see an empty window. Windowed mode doesn't allow me to use it in a Windowed (Fullscreen) manner like seen with other games, so that doesn't seem to be an option either. Is there any way to f...

I have a quest that needs me to go there, but I can't seem to get inside as I need a key. Talking to some locals in the houses didn't seem to give more information on where I fetch that key, did I miss something that the quest giver might have said me? How do I get that key?

I just wanted to know if I make my character a Warrior Mage(one that wears heavy armor most of the time, and casts spells sometimes and uses swords/other melee weapons and a bow) will spreading out my skills too much limit my power or will I still be a force to be reckoned with? Thank you in adv...

When I change a key in Skyrim, upon restart Skyrim it doesn't seem to have remembered that change. This is not the result of crashing, I just properly exit Skyrim from the menu.

I'm at the Bound Until Death quest for the Dark Brotherhood and want to do it with the bonus task (balcony kill). It's not a problem to kill the bride, but I haven't find a place to do it from without getting a 1000 gold (sometimes +40) bounty instantly. Everytime the guards will chase me, eve...

Does the data migration kit stop the annoyance of having to redownload all my arcade games and map packs? I've transferred stuff by USB but I have to be online to use it.

Every now and then I see a thin white bar that appears above my stamina bar. It began at full and ever so slowly it's crept down to about halfway. It only appears sometimes, and I'm not sure what I'm doing to make it show up. What is it? (I'll try to get some pictures soon if no-one can figur...

I run a dual monitor setup, and Skyrim only plays on the left monitor in fullscreen mode. But when I'm playing, and my mouse goes too far to the right the cursor actually shows up outside Skyrim. And if I click, it actives the window on the right (thus minimizing Skyrim) Why isn't the mouse sta...

I'm trying to figure out how to level my warrior/mage Nord :). I'm using a two handed weapon, but I'm not sure what type of armor to use (light/heavy). Since I'll probably put most of my level up stats into magic/health and not stamina would the weight of heavy armor be a problem later on? What ...

What killstreak rewards are available in Modern Warfare 3 (for all three strike packages)? What does each one "do"?

I noticed that when playing MW3 on Xbox Live with a guest (someone that doesn't have a gold subscription and is just your "second"), they start at the same level as you with all of your same classes. I also noticed, after playing for a while, our levels were different. Can the guest account lev...
