Arts/Crafts Tolkien Inspired Skyrim Map *Rough Draft*

Post image
• Upvotes

Hey guys just wanted to put this out there for some advice/suggestions on how to move forward with finishing my map. I am still missing some here and there mountains/ridges so I am aware of that. I will list a couple things I'm on the fence about or would like to add so any direction would be appreciated.

  • I've only added major cities/major towns/dragon locations/regions. I want to add more locations without making the map too busy like dwarven ruins or deadric shrines. Skyrim has way too many locations to fit everything.
  • The northern part of the map is pretty barren so I'm trying to find ways to depict snow/tundra areas in a simplistic way. Still figuring out how to do that.
  • The Whiterun Hold area is mostly plains and I like how I've depicted it but wanted to make sure I wasn't covering up too many small boulders or towns that may be important.
  • I was wondering if I should find a way to depict specific large forts on the map without doing all of them. Should I only do major forts? I may just use Icons as not to busy too many areas, not sure.
  • Some of the major cities like Solitude need more details where it just looks blank so I'm wondering if I should do a detailed above view of the city or use small icons.
  • I added geyser icons in the Eastmarch area and not sure how I feel about it.

I know some things are still missing like bridges and possibly major trails so I will be adding a good amount after this post. I'm sure I haven't written all my thoughts but hopefully this will be a good start. Any help would be greatly appreciated. For now enjoy my progress.

Bug Help Aela randomly started using the worst bow and every arrow so now I can’t arrow farm

• Upvotes

I recruited her, and at first I gave her one dark arrow and she would shoot it and I’d collect (duh) but then one day I turn on the game and she’s using iron arrows and any time I give her arrows she uses all of them and goes back to iron. Plus she’s using a wooden bow. Fml.

Walked in here just exploring, thought it was just some random tower. Turns out the story inside is easily one of the most heartbreaking tragedies in the entire game.

How my first character is now vs when I started the game.

• Upvotes

It's been a little less than a month since I started playing this game for the first time.

This game truly is a masterpiece.

I love the lore. Specifically, i love the Redguard lore. Chose the race while having minimal research done, and I say it was well chosen..

But looks like my first playthrough has come to an end. I literally can't do much else. I've become the leader of several factions, have more money than I know what to do with, and have prevented at least two apocalyptic events.

It's time for her to rest with her beautiful wife and children.

Never thought I would get attached to a character like this lol.

Discussion Who are your top 5 hardest bosses?

• Upvotes

Questline bosses, dungeon bosses, hidden bosses. All bosses except modded ones are allowed a mention.

My own list:

  • 5: Sigdis Gauldurson, the Gauldur that makes clones and teleports around, oh and he uses Fus-Ro-Throw you around the room shout
  • 4: Malkoran, the boss in the beacon dungeon we all love and hate
  • 3: General Falx Carius, that Champion's Cudgel warhammer is mine, after dying at least 4-5 times
  • 2: Ebony Warrior, imagine if this guy came at a lower level
  • 1: Karstaag, does this guy need explaining

Can I play the Skyrim Together Mod with my friend while I’m on Mac and they’re on Windows?

• Upvotes

love Skyrim it’s my favourite game ever and I’d love to play it with my friend doing the whole story, the fun side quests and building lore for our own characters. The thing is tho I’m on a MacBook (can run next Gen games so should be no issue with Skyrim) and they’re on windows.

Reluctant Steward, Varona Glitched Out of World

1 Upvotes

What up y’all? So I know I’ve seen a post about this before but it was from years ago, and mostly for PC players who have access to console commands, and I tried other solutions that I could find, to no avail. I’m playing on Switch and was wondering if there’s been any new solutions to this issue that I couldn’t easily find, or if some random Redditor might know a solution that’s never been shared before. So this is kinda a Hail Mary, but that’s where I’m at, so.

Apparently this is a somewhat common glitch but you’re tasked with finding Varona, steward to Master Neloth, the problem is the quest marker shows that she’s way out in the Sea of Ghosts, and I can’t reach her. Is there a way, on console, to access her somehow to advance the quest? The idea that I’m just totally locked out of this quest forever, and subsequently the Black Book you can access after completion, is really bothering me. Please help. Thanks!

Mod to garrison all forts?

1 Upvotes

It seems like in vanilla Skyrim you can only garrison one fort by clearing it of bandits allowing your faction to take over, all the rest must be garrisoned by hostile takeover during the civil war questline. Is there a mod that changes this and allows you to clear out and garrison other forts too? I’ve finished civil war questline for imperials without season unending so Neugrad Sunwall and Snowhawk aren’t garrisoned and I’d like to change that

I've been obsessed with Skyrim for a couple years now. I've always skipped this quest, thinking it's boring and just filler.

OH BOY WAS I WRONG!!

The quest leads into an entertaining adventure. Oh and the loot is insane!. I'm so mad at myself! I will commit to doing all quests at least once from now on.

Or give up and accept jail? I'd forgotten how that particular quest ended, I've killed about a dozen guards and escaped the city, but it is rather irritating

Discussion Newfound Wabbajack appreciation

34 Upvotes

Two things recently happened in Mzulft that made me glad I decided to carry the staff around with me.

1.) somehow managed to one-shot a dwarven centurion master (after temporarily turning it into a chicken) which was incredibly convenient

2.) managed to get a follower out of permanent fight mode. I couldn't talk to him, unrelenting force him out of it, get him to fight me, or anything. Erandur just stood there with his fire spell hands up no matter what. I also couldn't load a save without completely restarting from the main entrance. So I started hitting him with the wabbajack. A few explosions later and somehow it snapped him out of it.
