I've got a quest to kill the Bandit leader at Nilheim. I found Nilheim, but all that's there are guards. Did I miss the quest opportunity? Or is the "at Nilheim" less than literal?
I understand that this is a question regarding the entire StackExchange network, but recently this annoyance of mine has been considerably elevated because of Skyrim.
I like the idea of being able to ignore tags, and I guess it makes sense to be able to see them under certain circumstances, yet ...
@badp that is bad, i think I did that quest last night, and I do not remember ever meeting gaurds, maybe I am mixing it up though. Would be my mistake.
Eh, the favourite + ignored behaviour is to combine the flavours, so hiding them by default would cause you to miss things that were tag with both a favourite and ignored tag. I suppose this isn't going to be terribly commonplace, but the whole hiding ignored things on the search results page already gets people all the time, so...
I'm a Dohvakiin. I can shout people to death, and it's awesome.
I lament, however, that my voice can only shout every so often, usually requiring a cooldown of 30 seconds (or more!) before I can shout again.
Is there any way to reduce the cooldown of the Thu'un? I discovered that activating a s...
The recent spate of Skyrim questions has made the home page unusable for people who aren't interested in the game. Due to the nature of the gaming site (and since we're probably going to do more promotions like this), this probably won't be uncommon.
We already have the "ignored tags" feature, ...
okay, the other good news is that we *are* going to implement the "important tag" feature -- exact details still TBD, but it will at least involve: - mods and pseudomods (10k rep) able to set it on a tag - important tags (games) always show up first, and in the title for SEO - important tags (games) will be styled differently
@Ullallulloo I was thinking more that we have tons and tons of questions which, now that we have 'game tags' and 'other tags' are going to deserve lots of other tags.
Enough that it might be worth getting a bunch of pro-tem diamonds to start fixing tags in the background sans bumps before the feature goes live, just to prevent the front page from going to hell.
OK, I know I don't have time to play Jurassic Park tonight, but I was hoping that a game TellTale was doing a simultaneous release on PSN, XBLA, Steam, and their own site would actually be done ahead of time.
@DavidFullerton I think it's less a question of needing to, and more a question of I suspect that someone will, so it's probably worth doing in a way that minimizes front page havoc.

I remember playing it on 286 circa 1996, so must have been 320x200x256.
It was 2D, and was a combination of arcade and puzzle elements. A bit like Duke Nukem 2D, but much slower paced, and the setting was exploration of tombs, pyramids, and the like. The only enemy type I seem to remember was sn...
Currently playing Dragon Quest IX and I want to level up some characters quickly as I'm at the Gittish castle (just beat Hootingham). My main is 35, the others are 31. I looked up the Priest class and they get multi heal at 38 which made me groan that I would have to grind 7 levels :(

@Powerlord It's a Nintendo game, so probably sunday. Unlike most companies, I find Nintendo tends to release a lot of their games on Sunday instead of Tuesday
I assume Skyward Sword is a day once purchase for you @Powerlord?
@GraceNote I know what was going on as of a few months ago, and given their timescale, I wouldn't be surprised if it's still in progress...
Actually, let me check something...
Yeah, looks like the majority of their effort is going into r2-db.com (SW:tOR Q&A site/item DB site), and they're still theoretically backporting all their fun new site engine work to EpicAdvice to get it off of SE (In fact, I think they have), but it's totally a dead end for them at this point as near as I can tell.
Epic Advice came up again in the evaluations of possible options for a new domain name, and I knew you probably knew better than any o' us on that subject
My concern about Epic Advice is the same concern I had about Stage Six, which was the whole name association with a previous product that carried the same name.
Oh Skyrim... Stumble across a run down fort full of bandits. Oh, I'll just hop off my horse and dispatch with these hooligans so that I don't need to deal with them again.

The ebony blade is a katana like two handed weapon in Skyrim. Its apparently associated with one of the daedric quests, but which one, and how do I start it?
Also, once I obtain it, how do I power it up?
@LessPop_MoreFizz Konami did a new translation for the PS2 release.
I assume the PS3 release uses the same translation
Oh seriously, Konami? The card 4 door was just the left entrance to Machine Gun Kid's room, despite the fact that you can't yet have card 4 at that point and have already visited the other side?
Oh well, I found the Body Armor card 4 door, so at least searching the building again wasn't a total waste.
I do kind of like the idea of us finally getting our own domain, though, if only to one-up those Ask Ubuntu punks for always being ahead of us in the site rankings.

I'm not a huge fan of two-handed swords or shields in Skyrim; I'd like to just wield a one-handed weapon (dagger, sword, etc.), but I'm worried that my blocking won't be as powerful and that I'll take more damage.
Am I worried for nothing, or do I really need a shield?

In another question, it was mentioned there were other permanent abilities besides perks.
What are they, and where can they be found?

I've already become a Werewolf, but, how do you become a Vampire in Skyrim for ps3?
