Is it possible to change sides to the Empire after initially choosing the stormcloaks? This Stormcloak shouty dude is just another emperor, treats me like **** and expects unquestioned obedience. WTF I'm dragonborn man! And stop calling me unblooded y'big racist freak.

How to do spoilers?

Select the text you want to hide then hit the special bbcode button. It's the third button in on the top left, then select spoiler.

Can't you just start the quest from the imperial side? I started the storm cloaks quest (only the very first one) but it still says I have the option of joining the imperial guys as an objective, too.

<p>The Empire is sick and twisted in it's size and influence but the towns are all so 'nice' and shops well stocked, people make their livings freely despite a minority cast out and trapped in the lower strata. It's just as racially motivated if not as divisive due of it's differences being buried in deep tradition.. The Empire is gargantuan but in some ways it truly is a land of opportunity for the rugged and determined individual.. </p><p><br></p><p>hmmm...</p>

Here's three incredibly useful addons for the pc version to help organize the mess of the menu system Beth created for us:

First, this one categorizes items in containers similar to your own inventory and shop menus, like weapons, apparel, etc:

Container categorization:

Second, this one sorts stuff in your own inventory, this one actually has to rename items, but that's fine, the naming scheme the mod uses actually makes more sense this way, or is easier to understand anyways (what is a philter anyways??):

Better sorting:

http://www.skyrimnex...ile.php?id=2730

However, the first mod requires Skyrim script extender (skse for short), which I would consider an essential addon anyways, even though it's not technically an addon. Most future large scale mods will require it once the CK is released:

http://skse.silverlock.org/

All 3 are small downloads and can only improve your Skyrim experience. I would also suggest SkyUI that I posted a while ago (requires SKSE too). Also none of these should have any impact on performance. Console guys, eat your hearts out in jealous. :rofl:

Seriously though, it doesn't make any sense why the first one didn't make it into the vanilla game and the item sorting is just a mess, there is no rhyme or reason to it by default. Lazy Beth, real lazy.

Or you can find them laying around in various places. I've found at least 2 that I didn't have to buy nor do a quest for. One is in a tent on the beach near Daystar. The other was in a dungeon, I want to say it was the last dungeon you go to for the mage college quest line but I don't remember specifically.

I bought an Amulet of Mara from Radiant Raiment in Solitude.

The question is, where in the game can you buy a plush Pikachu doll to put in your house ...

Wouldn't be surprised if there is a mod for it

I've been by there a few times and they were present at least twice. And the chests inside of it were refilled as well.

So I finally managed to save up over 100k gold and the achievment doesn't complete for it. Annoying. :s

Yeah, I still haven't committed to either side. I finished the main quest last night, so I'm thinking of finally going ahead and doing either one or the other, but they both seem dirty in their own ways. The Stormcloaks definitely seem to be more overtly racist than the Imperials, and Ulfric is a raving lunatic, so I really don't want to side with them. The Imperial towns are definitely nice though, especially Solitude.

I read on the UESP Wiki that Dremora are supposed to respawn inside the shrine of Mehrunes Dagon every 7 days. Is that true? It doesn't seem to be the case in my game.

I think you may need to complete the related quest before they appear? From a guy in Dawnstar. But it works for me, a free source of 4 hearts whenever I come round to need them.

Yep, not sure about the 7 days but they do respawn as I've went back to get more hearts a number of times.

Mine must be bugged. I finished the quest literally, 2 weeks ago , real life time. I've played a ton since then, and they have never respawned for me. Luckily, I got all the hearts I needed from that 1 run and other areas to make full deadra armor/dual swords. But I haven't had them respawn yet. I know it has been move then 7 in game days as well. I think I've past around 3 months probably lol.

They had all respawned every time I had stopped by. A couple times I found myself in battle with them right after fast traveling to the shrine.

Hi folks

I have a huge problem with my game. One that almost everyone at the same stage in the game knows about. The infamous "your save file is too big, sorry buddy, but you can't play your game anymore. K thx bye!". My question is, fellow neowinians, is there a genius among you who found a solution to this horrible bug/feature/****ing ****? I would love to continue my 210+ hours of play and actually finish the game. I don't have much hope, but I have faith and I'm not ready to given up on Skyrim just yet.

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.

      Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600

      This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By ZipZapRap · Posted

      Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
