How do you go about getting married on this??

Playing it on 360 btw

You gotta find an Amulet of Mara and then wear it in front of the npc you're interested in getting hitched to and then you should get a dialogue option when you talk to them.

For that you need to complete the quest obtained at Riften's Temple of Mara.

or you can buy it from a priest in riften's inn.

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 am too powerful. Just charging through campsof bandits now with a deadric fire sword forged with 100 smithing.. Increased the difficulty but I think maybe I shouldn't have chosen so many perks, smithing, arching, sneak dagger.. they are fun though :devil:

Exactly. I have maxed Blacksmithing and created the weapons and armor I want, and now nothing really is a challenge. I haven't enchanted anything, as I haven't even come close to 100 enchanting, and I'm waiting for that. Other than that, I have put some points into Heavy Armor, Single/Dual Weilding. I just kill anything I see in 5 seconds or less.

Did I miss anything ? Since when does Xbox has 4gb of RAM ?

I think someone mentioned a patch for the PC. The one that Llawnroc was talking about is something completely different. Though I'm guessing that it's the patch to sort out the textures?

Can anyone confirm. I'm stuck at work and won't be able to check until later on tonight.

Sony is either slower than MS for accepting patches... Or Sony is becoming stricter with Bethesda and their game breaking patches. 1.3 still hasn't been accepted by Sony, but if it is due to the patch causing even more problems than the game had and got from the last patch, I'm all for waiting a bit longer. Bethesda needs to really step up to the PS3 issues though.

I am surprised that something hasn't come out for the PS3, from what I understand that PS3 problems are far worse. Also put a few hours into the game and I'm loving it :D One thing that annoys me is the map at this point, I haven't figured it out yet and it's so frustrating trying to figure out where I should be heading. Hopefully put some serious time in over the weekend and my xmas break. Can't wait :D

The trick with the map is that you have to visit each place first, then you can usually 'fast travel' to that spot as an option when clicking on the map icon from then on. Note - you must be outside to use the fast travel option usually.

Next, make sure that where you need to go is an active quest. Usually I'll deactivate other quests except the one I'm currently working on. You should have a marker on the map just get out to the edges of the map to get it scrolling horizontal/vertical to reveal destinations further away than your current view of the map.

Pretty handy once you get used to it with the caveat being - as I said, you must actually visit the places first and then it's gravy getting around.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By zikalify · Posted

      Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs

      Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs by Sayan Sen While Microsoft has been trying to improve it, Windows 11 is definitely not flawless, as even today some issues are taking a year to publicly acknowledge. However, one area of trouble that may finally see much better results soon is graphics driver crashes. Work on graphics driver timeouts, also called Timeout and Detection Recovery (TDR), is not new as the latest WDDM 3.2 also has specific improvements regarding it. Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) version 3.2 is supported on Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2. However, with the upcoming version 26H2, TDR crash diagnosis could go to the next level as Microsoft is introducing a new DirectX 12 API feature called "DirectX Dump Files". Similar to how system memory dump files work when a system crashes or freezes or encounters any such major issue, DirectX Dump Files (DDF) will essentially record a snapshot of the GPU execution right at the moment a graphics-related crash or hang or freeze occurs, so that developers can better understand and diagnoze these TDR and timeout detection errors. The dump will be available as a .dxdmp file for analysis and it will be a comprehensive dump file generated with detailed insights about the hardware, drivers, Windows, as well as the affected application. This should be another welcome change in this department. Earlier at GDC 2026, when the technology was first debuted, Microsoft had shared more details regarding it. The company had explained how DDF is designed to gather data from every layer of the graphics stack into a single file, eliminating the need for developers to manually correlate logs from multiple tools. As mentioned above, the dump can contain a lot of useful details like GPU hardware state information such as register values, shader program counters, page fault virtual addresses, shader memory data, and command buffers. Alongside that, it also captures DirectX runtime and kernel information, including D3D objects, pipeline state objects, device error data, adapter details, and CPU call stacks. Microsoft says the feature has been built around two primary use cases: retail device removals and local device removals. The former allows developers to collect crash information from end users' systems in the field, while the latter helps QA teams and developers investigate issues on test machines. Developers will also be able to include up to 2 MB of custom application data through new D3D12 APIs, providing additional context for troubleshooting. In addition, Microsoft is introducing three dump collection modes ranging from zero-overhead capture, which has no runtime performance impact on supported hardware, to higher-detail modes that collect more vendor-specific debugging data. On compatible Tier 2 hardware, zero-overhead dumps will be enabled by default, meaning developers may begin receiving useful crash diagnostics without making any code changes. The table below explains the three tiers: Tier Description NO_OVERHEAD Enables crash capture with no runtime cost and is suitable for broad deployment MEDIUM_OVERHEAD Provides a balance, capturing additional diagnostic data with moderate impact HIGH_OVERHEAD Collects the most detailed GPU and driver state available, enabling deeper investigation at the cost of higher runtime overhead In terms of availability, the company expects broader release to be around the fall of 2026, which should be right around the time when Windows 11 version 26H2 lands. Right now, DirectX Dump Files are available as a preview and currently, only AMD has the compatible AgilitySDK Developer Preview driver version 26.10.07.02. You can find the official announcement post here on Microsoft's website.
