    I remember people talking about a massive underground city you have to go through a dungeon to get to which had several entrances across the map

    I've seen a few dweemer ruins filled with falmer and chaurus but nowhere that there are actual people to talk to

    was I misunderstanding this or is this something I've just not found yet?

    the main quest will do it

    or search the icebergs north of the mage's college

    Main Quest:
    You get to Blackreach by following the main quest or by clearing a few specific Dwemer ruins. Mzinchaleft is one for sure.

    It's crazy how much more enjoyable it makes dungeon delving.

    All this time I have seen you people talking behind spoiler tags about the Dark Brotherhood and now I can guess why. I am only halfway through but
    1. When I saw Cicero... my god. His was one of the first mini quests I did when I bumped into him outside of Whiterun in my first playthrough, some 80 hours ago. I was circumnavigating the city exploring the farms, and helped him out. His mother's remains talk seemed weird, and that box seemed suspiciously large even for a coffin, but no further info was forthcoming so I forgot about it. When I met him in the sanctuary, oh man it was just perfect.

    2. Lucien! Good old Lucien LaChance. Nice to see him again. And he's got that rich, gravely voice still. He can be a bit chatty sometimes though; I'll just be chatting with the Jarl and he's all "Did you ever hear about the betrayal at Cheydanhall?" in the background.

    Well today I finally got around to finishing the Companions questline (shut up I've been very busy with other stuff) and that was pretty gratifying. Not least because it finally let me indulge in my desire to decapitate oodles of ghosts.

    (P.S. Conjuration still fun, Beetboot the Dunmer still a boss)

    So this game patched for me on 360, but when I placed my weapon on a previously broken rack it was doing funny things like falling to the ground and losing its item status and I couldn't retrieve it without a reload. Has anyone else had these issues?

    Is there a console way to force the aurora to trigger?

    Oh wonderful

    I figured that because I was given the key to the Abandoned Shack, it was therefore mine and I could use it as a base. I put a bunch of shit in the chest, and now I come back 5 levels later to discover that no, I don't "own" it, and the chest has reset itself to empty. I had a bunch of shit in there including a couple of dragon priest masks!

    Guess I'll just have to console them in.

    I don't think it was an unreasonable assumption! It's got a bed, a chest. It's owned by the dark brotherhood and I thought they were giving it to me to operate out of.

    it's called the abandoned shack

    it is known for being abandoned
    to live there is to make it not the abandoned shack, yet it remains the abandoned shack, so clearly you do not nor will you ever live there

    Do what I did.

    I bought the house in Solitude and I store all my gold, silver ingots, gold ingots, jewelry items, and jewels in the basement in a huge pile. Then in between adventures I swim around in them.

    Dont feel bad. I'm 110 hrs in and just found out about the companions. This whole time i've somehow ignored that side of Whiterun.

    I like Whiterun because it is the only town not exclusively or at least in majority owned and operated by huge douchenozzles.

    Except for Nazeem.

    Yeah, Whiterun is cool because the Jarl is cool with you

    Solitude is kind of alright too

    Everywhere else sucks

    Haha yeah I like the references to the DB storyline from Oblivion. Agree that LaChance gets annoying with his constant talking, but his voice is super cool.

    I still have a soft spot for the DB questline in Oblivion. Overall, I think I enjoyed it more than the one in Skyrim. But that was probably also because it was a complete novelty at the time... I already knew roughly what to expect in the Skyrim questline, minus a few plot twists. But even they were expected... it wouldn't be a DB questline without some treachery, after all.

    Can you actually store stuff in the Dawnstar sanctuary? I'm scared to try it.
