Right, my dad (whose name i'll keep private for obvious reasons) has been having trouble with a specific acheivement. Now near the end the Civil War Campaign, you have to capture a fort before you capture either Solitude (Stormcloaks) or Windhelm (Imperials), which nets the War Hero achievement. Now he has completed the Civil War Campaign (Stormcloak side) and he has somehow not got the War Hero acheivement. Any ideas welcome.

I have those tips:

In order to get the 'War Hero' achievement, you'll have to complete a few objectives.

First and foremost, you'll have to join the Imperial Legion to activate that questline.

Also, you'll have to complete the quest "Compelling Tribute".

Now, to get the 'War Hero' achievement, you'll have to capture Fort Sunguard or Fort Greenwall for the Imperial Legion.

(Do this, and you'll get 10G on Xbox 360, or a bronze trophy on PlayStation 3.)

--------------------------------------------------

Just continue and make a peace treaty (Main Quest) between the Legion and the Stormcloaks.

- If you side with the Stormcloaks then Markarth must remain an Imperial city and you will be guided to take Fort Sungard fairly early on. After capturing the fort the achievement will pop.
- If you side with the Imperials then Riften must remain a Stormcloak city and you will be told to capture Fort Greenway.

Upon completing the main quest the two dominant factions will reignite the war once again allowing you to gain your achievements.

---------------------------------------------------------

To join the Legion travel to Solitude and enter Castle Dour and speak to General Tullis.

To join the Stormcloaks travel to Windhelm and enter the Palace of the Kings and speak to Ulfric Stormcloak.

This achievement is for playing halfway through either side's story-line and capture a fortress. Which is either Fort Sungard or Fort Greenwall depending on who you side with.

Ok, i understand that you need to do the peace treaty and the 'Compelling Tribute' quest to help nab the acheivement, what i don't get is that i managed to do get this acheivement on an offline profile and minus a peace treaty. He did exactly the same as me yet has not been able to nab the acheivement. So unless my dad mucked up on the peace treaty, the only ways i can think thant he can nab the achievement is by starting all over again, or Bethesda releases another patch. Since it's now highly unlikely that Bethesda will release another patch for Skyrim, he'll have to start all over again, which will really upset him sice his Dragonborn is just shy of level 60.

Hmm, that's a problem, maybe you can go some saves before and try again. (If you remember the quest line...)

or, okay if you start over maybe with an diffrent character, so it would be not too boring you know...

ok i'll try and get him to start a new save, without losing his other save.
