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.

    • Microsoft finally admits its default Windows 11 25H2, 24H2 action broke key legacy component

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft finally admits its default Windows 11 25H2, 24H2 action broke key legacy component by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. So far the company has acknowledged two known issues that have popped up after the release which include bugged-out Office apps as well as the Recycle Bin; though there could be more at play too. Speaking of bugs and issues, Microsoft seems to have finally acknowledged a problem that probably has been around for close to a year. That's because back in July of 2025 the company made a default change to the latest Windows 11 versions, wherein it switched to JScript9Legacy on Windows 11 24H2 and later releases. Hence following the release of version 25H2 in October 2025, JScript9Legacy also remained default-enabled. As a result there has been a compatibility issue ever since then. For those wondering, by switching to JScript9Legacy Microsoft intended to improve the security of modern Windows PCs by reducing vulnerabilities tied to legacy scripting like cross-site scripting (XSS), among others. XSS exploits can allow cyber-attackers to attach malicious code onto legitimate websites and use them to execute the code when a potential victim loads such a website. Hence the new JScript9Legacy engine enforced stricter execution policies and improved object handling, which should help mitigate such attacks. Microsoft today has published a new support article detailing the problem. Neowin spotted it while browsing. The company says that JScript global definitions and execution context may fail to persist across scripts, potentially breaking older dependent apps and web-based components that relied on this legacy behavior. In the article Microsoft has confirmed that the issue stems from its move away from the older jscript9.dll engine in favor of jscript9legacy.dll. As mentioned above, while the newer engine was designed to address vulnerabilities and strengthen security it also changes how JScript handles execution context. As a result functions and definitions loaded by one script could no longer remain available to subsequent scripts once execution ended. The company notes that some applications worked correctly on earlier Windows versions because the older JScript engine automatically retained global definitions and execution state between scripts. Under the newer model though that behavior is disabled by default causing certain legacy workloads and polyfill-dependent scripts to fail. Microsoft says it addressed the problem via the KB5077241 update though the fix had not been enabled automatically in the following updates. As such admins must explicitly turn on persistent JScript execution context using a Registry setting that the tech giant shared today. The configuration can be applied to individual processes or system-wide through the FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE registry key. The steps have been outlined below: Run the following command to create the feature control registry key: reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE" Under this key, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value. Configure the value as follows: To enable persistence for specific processes only: Set the value to 1 for each target process name. To enable persistence for all processes: Add * as the key name and set its value to 1. You can find the official support article here on Microsoft's website.

      VidCoder 12.20 by Razvan Serea  VidCoder is a DVD/Blu-ray ripping and video transcoding application for Windows. It uses HandBrake as its encoding engine. Calling directly into the HandBrake library gives it a more rich UI than the official HandBrake Windows GUI. VidCoder can rip DVDs but does not defeat the CSS encryption found in most commercial DVDs. You’ll need the NET 8 Desktop Runtime. If you don’t have it, VidCoder will prompt you to download and install it. The Portable version is self-contained and does not require any .NET Runtime to be installed. You do not need to install HandBrake for VidCoder to work. Feature list: Multi-threaded MP4, MKV containers Completely integrated encoding pipeline: everything is in one process and no huge intermediate temporary files H.264, H.265, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, VP8, Theora video Hardware-accelerated encoding with AMD VCE, Nvidia NVENC and Intel QuickSync AAC, MP3, Vorbis, AC3, FLAC audio encoding and AAC/AC3/MP3/DTS/DTS-HD passthrough Target bitrate, size or quality for video 2-pass encoding Decomb, detelecine, deinterlace, rotate, reflect, chroma smooth, colorspace filters Powerful batch encoding with simultaneous encodes Customizable Pickers to automatically pick audio and subtitle tracks, destination, titles and more Instant source previews Creates small encoded preview clips Pause, resume encoding VidCoder 12.20 changes: Updated HandBrake core to 1.11.2.
