I cant seem to get any of the werewolf totem quests. Whenever i talk to aela she just has "im looking for work" which always sends me on a quest to kill an animal in a cave, or in someones house. If i talk to people at the companions house they send me on the same type of quest. Maybe its not giving me it because im married to aela? Or maybe you have to have all werewolf perks? I need 1 more to get the achievement.

Hmmm i read if you delete the hearthfire dlc, you can get these missions. It has something to do with getting married to aela. But im not sure if i would lose my house/kids, not to mention all of the armor and weapons ive collected, if i deleted it, but then reinstalled it.

Also i went to every stormcloak camp and killed everyone except the leaders, who cant be killed. Thinking maybe if i did that then the general would give me the letter to free the guy. So i go to talk to the general guy in solitude and the lady thats always next to him starts attacking me for no reason. Everyone else didnt do anything, i ran outside and let the guards see she was attacking me and all they did was run. IDK why she was attacking me, i did go up to 4 murders, but none of the guards did or said anything to me. I dont even know how i got the extra 1 murder because all i did was kill stormcloaks and animals.

Crazy... I thought it did less... If that's true, then it might make up for the speed.

What a dumb game. I went back to my house to get the Glenmoril witch heads so maybe aela would give me a totem quest, nope, she gives me another quest to get rid of an animal. So i went to the companion house and vilkas gave me a kidnapping quest, so i did it. Then he said he wanted to be cleansed of the wolfblood. I thought finally some progress. So i agree to help him and then we leave the companions house and he stops following me. I talk to him and tell him to follow me and he says i already have someone following me. So i fast travel to the Tomb of Ysgramor and enter it and the quest is now in the dark area like its been done, yet if i look at the quest the little diamond is hollow like it hasnt been done. I went to the Flame of the Harbinger anyway and when i try to activate it it does nothing, not even ask if i want to be cleansed of the wolfblood.

I can't address your problem but a Dumb game? Nah, just a massive open-world game with near countless ways for bugs/glitches and random acts of fustration and humor to occur. Count the games of this size and type...not that much. Bethesda practically made this style of game. Accept the fact that no matter how many hours good QA testers play this game, they won't find everything.

Be happy: Bethesda and ZeniMax studios are constantly trying to fix reported issues with patches (how many now?). A lot of developers never address issues with some games. For PS3 gamers, Bethesda still hasn't given up trying to fix the DLC issue.

Pro tip: Have a save game file that is used only to save progress every few or more hours of play. If your very unlucky perhaps another before taking on a quest. So you don't loose countless hours with a character from a quest ending bug. I do this and when I do encounter a quest problem It's just one save load away to remedy.

Good luck with your issue.

I make a permanent save at least every couple of hours; I probably have over a hundred of them. Luckily I've run into few if any major bugs, aside from loading screens crashing the Xbox which has happened a dozen times or so. I guess it pays to wait a year before playing a Bethesda game.

i have almost 700 saves. LOL. I save a lot. Anyway, i was able to read online about how to fix the problem, and i was able to cure both the guys from the companion house after all. Still trying to get aela to give me the totem missions without having to delete heartfire DLC. I got a quest to kill an animal in a cave i havent found yet, and had to save and turn it off for now. But hopefully ill get them tonight since i did the other 2 guy quests.

PS. Dumb game, poor choice of words. I love this game, it just gets annoying when i have to go on the internet to figure out how to get past something that shouldnt happen. But like shifty said, this game is massive and they cant catch everything that goes wrong.

It's seems crazy how many time I save, especially games like Fallout 3, Oblivion, Skyrim. Hundreds, many hundreds. Totally worth it.

One save. Always and forever.

WOW!!!!

So im trying to do this quest where i save dawnstar from some skull that does something with peoples dreams. Im near the end, and i go to save the game.... game freezes. So i reset my xbox try again, same results. Try again, same results. So i say this im not going to try to save until im out of the castle. I get past everything, and im done with the quest, now all i have to do is get out of the castle. I get lost and press B to see my map... autosave and game freezes. Seriously??? Spent over 30 minutes replaying this damn quest part only for the game to freeze up every time. Guess ill try again and turn auto save off.

YES! finally got out of the castle and was able to save without it freezing. "a walking nightmare" was an appropriate quest name for that one.


WEIRD! I went to sleep with my wife and i woke up with the dark brotherhood quest. Except instead of killing one of the three guys, i killed the dark brotherhood lady. Sure i didnt get the achievement, but it sent me on a quest to clear them out, and i learned a shout from within their lair. Anyway i think it glitched and i learned 2 new "drain vitality" shouts. I have the normal one, and 2 others now. The 2 others are the same as each other, except one is drain 1% health and 1% magic i think for 20 seconds. Something like that, and the other drain vitality is the same thing except 2% for each drain. LOL. Weird stuff.

What is this... I don't even.

One savers are crazy.

#100s saver

130 hours across two characters. One save each.

Bring it.

There's a man who doesn't second guess his decisions.

He's the man CAG deserves, but doesn't need right now.

Why would you do that? That's one of the best questlines in the whole goddamn game and you ruuuuuuined it.

I think I'm a little past 150 total saves made. Saving takes too long, and my time is worth stuff.

And wasn't there a thing that having a lot of saves made the game glitch/lag/be slower? Or was that the size of the save? Or was that a Fallout 3/Oblivion problem?

my character is a good guy, the only logical thing to do was kill the person who was making me kill someone. Plus i didnt think she would actually die, but she did, and i went with it. Ill do the brotherhood in another character. Then again i did save it right before killing one of the four. So i can always go back and reply that part, same with dawnguard, i have it saved right before i choose to be a vampire or walk away.

I want to make a 2nd character who is evil, steals, everything bad. But idk if a vampire Khajiit would be a good mix. I just thought someone who is in the darkness a lot might benefit from being able to see in the dark. lol.

Total, I have 650+ saves in Skyrim...I think about a dozen or so slots. Most of them I imagine are set before major questlines such as the Guild, Dark Brotherhood, etc.

PS3 Skyrim.

I started a new character today, a Khajiit named Sabertooth that im going to use mainly magic and thieve skills with, and join the stormcloaks, dark brotherhood, and other evil decisions to make. I already went to the Lovers Stone and will use that to upgrade any skill 15% faster. When i started my first character i picked warrior and ended up doing mostly thief type skills so that 20% bonus really went to waste. I also moved my Hearthfire and dawnguard DLC to my other hard drive so i dont have to worry about quests messing up hopefully. I also dont want random vampires killing quest givers, so thats one reason i didnt want it installed yet. I might wait until im fully done with everything else before i reinstall it. Im only raiding caves and other places when i get a quest to do so. We will see how well this goes.
