Looks like true mod tools in January and it will be using something called Steam Workshop where Steam host all the mods and there you can rate them and install them with just one click.

Finally a timeline and some contact from Bethesda. Nice post!

unrelenting is like a force push, power it up to use all 3 words and you'll knock over just about anything. Disarm just takes their weapons away, but some enemies are too strong for that so I presume the 3 word one will not have that restriction.

Wait, what? I thought you had to know all three words to learn the shout, then it gets unlocked via dragon soul. But it sounds like you are saying that one word shouts are just a start and later there are two and three word versions. If it matters im level 29 and have about 10 usable shouts (no clue how many words i know).

Has anyone found a treasure map that seems to lead to nothing?

Spoiler

I got Treasure Map IV from some bandits near Whiterun and the map very clearly leads me to the mountainside south of town. I've been all over that mountain, including some seam walking, and I can't find anything there at all.

Huh, I saved my game about 3 yards from that very spot. I'll re-load but I'm pretty sure there's nothing there.

Every time you learn a new word, you can unlock it with a dragon soul. You don't need all three words to use a shout.

Not quite, each shout has 3 words which level it up in power. You unlock each word with a dragon soul, but as far as I can tell you can't find them 'out of order'. Some it seems you only get from certain quest lines, others you'll find around the map. Thus you can't find just the 2nd word, you'll be given word number 1 and when you find another wall within the same shout you'll get word number 2.

Yeah, that took me awhile (probably because it was at night). If you don't want to watch the video then the hint I can give you is that it is there alright, and hidden under a tree and partially in the ground. If your a Khajiit then night vision will help you see the outline.

I loaded up my save after watching the vid, I was only a few yards from the spot. I checked it out thoroughly and there is 100%, absolutely nothing there.

Shrug, I dunno then but I can't imagine it's not in your game for whatever reason. Does require you to walk farther left from the windmill than you might expect.

You have to swing fairly far out to the left to find the path up the mountain. If you look at the map it gives you a side view (as if you were standing looking at the mountain) and an overhead view (as if you're flying looking down on the mountain). The overhead view should give an idea of how far to the left you need to go.

So I just installed RavenSEAL's mod package including the 64-bit EXE and the FXAA injector, but now I am not able quick travel anymore. When I click a location on the map, the map just closes down. Has anyone else had this problem? (Apologies if this has already been posted).

EDIT:

For anyone else who runs into this issue I found the solution at the bottom of the page here:

Damn I hope the kids go to bed on time tonight so I have some time to play!

Great found a nice bug with the 1.2 patch. I can no longer store gear in containers. I press the R key and nothing happens.

Works fine still here. Just bought my house in Whiterun and stored a bunch of stuff there.

Same here. Did you happen to rebind your ready/sheathe key? Rebinds actually work properly now...with the exception of the rebinded key being displayed on the screen.

Excellent. That really pissed me off before.

Not sure if the problem was caused by the mods I dropped in earlier, or by the 1.2 patch itself. Hopefully this will be the last issue I run into for a while. I've had enough troubleshooting for one night.

 

[dpodblood]

And I give up... That's the 3rd CTD I've had tonight... Thanks Bethesda.

I found it, it's just a small chest.

The November 30th "patch" introduced bugs and poor frame rates for me. Was this a patch for PC or consoles?

 

[TallBill]

Agreed. Paarthurnaxx is awesome. Fuck the blades!

Spoiler

Haha, as soon as I returned from killing Alduin I murdered Paarthurnaxx. As nice as he was, I'm still the dragonborn.

Both PCs and Consoles.
