Using the become ethereal shout you can jump of mountains or other high places without getting damage.

I have done this multiple times. It can come in very handy and makes you feel like Ironman dropping in for a landing.

You can drag and hide dead bodies behind things or in closets.If you kill someone near a river, drag them into the river and watch them be swept away by the current, or down a waterfall.

Gee I thought there'd be more on here! but here's what i've discovered:

-The giant skeleton of a mudcrab, I think it's somewhere near Whitehall
-The people bathing in the hot springs up north
-The deep sea cravass with sunken ships up in the north
-The stockpile of gold ingots at the very northern point and a skeleton with a Knights of the Nine book
-The ghost horse that appears at night, I tried to follow it but I lost it as I was on foot.
-The lovers who were killed by a bear as they eloped
-The imperial jail, where the ghosts of the inmates who drowned there still haunts it (close to riverwood, past the bandits bridge)
-The necromancer who traps you for his experiments using a dragon word wall as bait, thankfully I managed to pick the lock.

hmm i'll try and remember some others XD

You know what doesn't make sense!

There is a quest where you can become a cannibal
but if you are a bosmer aren't you already a cannibal lorewise?

That quest should give you a different reward and they should make bosmers cannibals from the start

You can move an item on the loading screen faster by pressing both thumbsticks in the same direction.


Man... It's like a whole new game.

One thing I never knew but apparently everyone knows.
In Dawnstar there is a hidden chest. It a shopkeepers chest. It stores their inventory there. It has a ton of items in it for you to take. I won' tell you exactly where and how to get it because you may not want to know because it's very easy money and it's very tempting knowing the exact location. Even if you don't take anything you still want to check for equipment and such.

I thought that was cool, too, but then I felt like they hadn't scripted enough since when you speak to him, he doesn't even seem to realize he's in jail and he'll still talk to you about quests and give you training. I even unlocked his door and opened it and he just stood there smiling at me.

*goes off to get another Wabbajack and tries to remember to look closer next time I pick a lock*

Reminds me of the lady you got arrested in the Oblivion thief guild guest with the statuette you stole and placed in her house.
She was just standing in jail looking angry.

People killed in main cities are actually buried in the Hall of the Dead. Yesterday I broke in the Markarth Hall of the Dead and one coffin had the remains of a thalmor agent I had killed, while another had Nepos's belongings

On Xbox 360 not sure about the pc.

When having a bow equipped (on your back) and in stealth (crouch)and moving along as fast as crouch allows if you then unsheath it (get it ready to use) while still moving forward and not stopping you'll begin to move forward at a more accelerated pace than is normally allowed while crouching.

This also happens when you are dual-casting spells and "sheath" or "unsheath" the spell; you can keep sheathing and unsheathing over and over and you will basically be moving two or three times your normal speed.

The three guard towers outside of Riften (past the horse stable) have a chest on the top floor of each. They are locked, and respawn (not sure length of time). There is almost always good loot in them.

Up near Solitude, there is a Guardian Stone called "The Steed Stone". It allows you to carry an extra 100lbs, and no movement penalty from armor. Great for helping you carry that extra loot.

Just the fact that they bothered to script that whole thing that 99% of players wouldn't see was impressive. In previous games, they would have just been left there standing,
or walked to a convenient door and disappeared. Makes me wonder how much else is going on 'behind the scenes'.


There's this one spriggan being held captive by a bunch of necromancers.
Locked in a cage somewhere inside, I don't remember where.
If you pick the lock of the cage the spriggan won't attack you and will start running away.
You can follow him through the wilderness, where he will occasionally take care of any creature that dares to attack him.
Eventually he will reach his destination.
I'm not quite sure where it was, but I think in the East March.
It's near the place with the geysers and the hunters lying and bathing in the warm water.
He will just keep standing there between some trees and will still be there if you return 100 days later.
He will still not attack you when you come near.
But be careful when you have a horse, because he will attack it.

For those that don't like the kill cams. If you use a weapon in the left hand, those little cut scenes don't seem to appear.

Has anyone been impressed with the hired helper "Mercurio" from Riften, if he uses his lighting bolt magica it blasts some enemies off the screen to ultimate death, seems a good companion so far.

Anyone have advice on how to kill chief yamarz if the quest has been cancelled as i killed the whole village. He repeatedly gets up from my hammerings.

Here is some:


*You can attack Dragur before they wake up. Go into sneak mode and when your in an area with body stuck in crevices you can shoot a sleeping Dragur with an arrow or two. You can tell if its going to get up by noticing it's wearing clothes. Of course if your not sure, shoot it anyways :). This does not work however if there inside the stone coffins :P


*If an enemy moves out of your line of sight. Shoot an arrow at the back wall, pillar or whatever. This will cause the enemy to go towards the sound and you can sneak attack them.


*If a dragon is in a village and you do not want to fight them, go into a building, wait a minute and come back out, the dragon is normally gone.


*If your having issues with a bunch of enemies out in the wild and there is a Giant Encampment near by, run through it. The enemies will stop attacking you and turn to attack the Giant(s) and the Mammoth(s). Once combat is over, no one will be trying to kill you. :D


*Kill a person in town with no one looking. Leave your weapon out and stand over the corpse. When people do walk by, they will say things, think you did the deed, but cannot prove it (<-----rather funny).


*Run a dragon into a Giant Encampment (<------hilarious)


*Having issues with a Dragon Priest or a Deathlord? If they way you came has a gate, run back through the gate and close it. The enemy will not be able to attack you, but you can attack them! LOL!


*Too many enemies on your tail in a dungeon? If the way you came or forward has a trap, such as blade pendulums, use your Dragon Shout sprint to the other side, hit the switch and watch the baddies get chopped to pieces.


*Shoot the Hawks flying above the Emperor's Tower in Solitude and you'll be stopped by the guards for breaking the law and be force to pay a fine.


*Once you have made friends with a merchant, they'll let you take some of their stuff for free and then turn around and sell it to them.


*Having issues catching butterflies? Go into sneak and get them that way.


*(Now this one make me laugh so hard I cried) Hate the Thalmor? Go into Mararth and speak to the Thalmor rep in the Jarl's house. He will ask you to get proof from someone. Get the proof and give it to the Thalmor rep. He will give you a reward, Turn around and kill him and his bodyguards. The Markarth guards will attack you, ignore them. Loot the Thalmor bodies and run the hell out of there and hide. Wait a little but and go back in. The guards will not care you killed those people and you will not be fined. And for the hell of it you can return the item back to the person the Thalmor rep asked you to get, or sell it.

In dungeons with multipile floors (like ships) you can place a rune spell on above you (so under the floor) to stealthily kill people on the floor above you. If that makes sense.

-(Xbox 360) Click Right Stick to go into third-person view. Click and hold Right Stick, then manipulate Left Stick. You can control the zoom of the camera in third-person this way.


Great info! :thumbsup:
