Did you know... : V - Skyrim

» Sun Dec 11, 2011 2:39 pm

I usually do this for Morrowin/Oblivon/Fallout 3/New Vegas, didn't see one for Skyrim, so I thought I would make one up.

This post is SPOILER FREE and to let us know things we can do but didn't know, like in Fallout New Vegas, you can keep drinking water by just holding the A button (xbox) continuosly.

For me, I will start it off.

Did you know, that when the screen is loading, you can turn and zoom in and out the object. If on the Xbox (since not sure if PC or PS3 does it) if you move one thumb stick, it turns/zooms slowly, if you use both thumbsticks, they turn/zoom faster. Not a big thing but something I stumbled apon when bored from loading

.

Did you know..... That there is a REALLY good list on here posted by XxICEMANxX titled tips and tricks..Its worth reading......

Did you know that you can shoot butterflies and other flying insects (birds too) with arrows? Doing so to butterflies will make 2 butterfly wings fall to the ground.
Haven't tested but destruction magic probably works too, no slow-mo may make aiming difficult though.
