Edgecrusher 91 Report post Posted December 15, 2011 Something mildly interesting happened to me yesterday; Alvor caught me pickpocketing him and started to attack me, so I ran to the other end of Riverwood and Sigrid started attacking me. Gerdur appeared and I thought she would join in, instead she started attacking Alvor, who quickly killed her and then finally Ralof showed up out of nowhere and murdered both Alvor and Sigrid. I never lifted a finger except to dump the bodies under the bridge behind Alvor's house. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe on another save file... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ViceMan 1380 Report post Posted December 15, 2011 Can you join more than one guild? I joined the thieves guild and was wondering because i've still got to join the Imperials or Stormcloaks according to my quests. I've only been methodically clearing out dungeons around the south-east corner of the map, haven't even been further north than Whiterun yet. I'm nearly level 19 and have about 29 hours of play.

Indy 350 Report post Posted December 15, 2011 You can join multiple guilds at the same time. The civil war quest line is separate to other quest lines. In the civil war quest line you can only join one side, stormcloak or imperial... but they're both assholes. Invisibility potion Ice Wraith Teeth Chaurus Eggs If you've cleared that lighthouse you'll have around 400+ Chaurus eggs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Handsome B Wonderful 331 Report post Posted December 15, 2011 Dont u have another save file? Just start from there and try again. I had been alternating between 2 save files but because I thought the crackling static sound was my speakers I turned them off and because the TV volume was a lot lower I saved again without realising the sound was still there. So much for having a back up save, they're both fucked now. I'm going to leave the PS3 turned off while I go the shop and see if it magically fixes itself when I get back. I see you also have the PS3 version. Lucky you... Have you experienced any problems with serious framerate drops/freezing due to save file size yet? I think it kicks in when your save file goes over 5mb. I haven't been able to patch the game yet, and my sessions are being limited to around an hour at a time, as my save files are 12-13mb now. I've still managed to get to over 70 hours of gameplay, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, the PS3 is on for several hours... I play for a few, leave it, then go back to it, so the console is probably melting itself from within. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Invisibility potion Ice Wraith Teeth Chaurus Eggs If you've cleared that lighthouse you'll have around 400+ Chaurus eggs Get to level 75 in Illusion (easy if you just walk around casting Muffle on yourself) and you can get the Invisibility spell. Much better than walking around with a million potions (and trying to find enough Ice Wraiths). Having said that, it sucks how Invisibility is disabled as soon as you do ANYTHING.

ViceMan 1380 Report post Posted December 15, 2011 Reading about all the bugs in this game, there are loads of them... The only annoying one i've had so far besides the lag is the bookshelves in Breezehome are broken. I filled them with books, a message came up saying I couldn't place any more but it allowed me to add more anyway (I was mashing the button to empty the books out of my inventory.) After that the bookshelf is empty and activating it does nothing. Oh look just after I posted this I went back to the PS3 and there was a notification telling me a new patch for the game has been found. 2.02... Hopefully it'll fix said errors.

DuffMan 266 Report post Posted December 15, 2011 Xbox version seems a bit cleaner in terms of bugs. Had a patch today but no idea what it did. That's the problem with Elder Scrolls games. They're so heavily dependent on scripting and there's a million variables for everything, it's so easy for something to go wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ViceMan 1380 Report post Posted December 15, 2011 Woo! Look! General stability improvementsFixed Radiant Story incorrectly filling certain roles Fixed magic resistances not calculating properly Fixed issue with placing books on bookshelves inside player purchased homes Fixed dragon animation issues with saving and loading Fuck yea, bet i'll have lost all those books though. And I was really going to read them all too, honest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 350 Report post Posted December 15, 2011 I had some SERIOUS frame rate issues earlier, so much so that it froze the game. Restarted and it was fine. Weird! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuffMan 266 Report post Posted December 15, 2011 I had some SERIOUS frame rate issues earlier, so much so that it froze the game. Restarted and it was fine. Weird! I get that a lot. Ended up yesterday freezing for 10 seconds every time I mauled someone as a werewolf. It would zoom in on my character staring at an Imperial Guard's crotch before ripping his face to pieces.

ViceMan 1380 Report post Posted December 15, 2011 I had some SERIOUS frame rate issues earlier, so much so that it froze the game. Restarted and it was fine. Weird! Yup, just had the same thing myself. First time it happened a few days ago it went back to normal after 60 seconds or so, but now it isn't... looks like i'm fucked then. Obviously the patch didn't fix that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuPz0r 5361 Report post Posted December 15, 2011 The only frame drop I've been getting is when it auto-saves. Has the problem been established? is it just a matter of save files maxing out too high for the system to handle? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ViceMan 1380 Report post Posted December 15, 2011 I'd imagine that was the reason, obviously it's struggling to place all the random items and people and the map. I don't know if deleting save data from other games helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ViceMan 1380 Report post Posted December 15, 2011 Keep an eye on the size of your save file. I've just deleted my game data for GT5 to free up some space, game data not save data which takes up relatively little space and means if I do reinstall GT5 I can carry on where I left off. Lets see if it's made any discernable difference... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
