Thanks, yes, those Forsworn like their frost spells. Fortunately not too dangerous for a well developed character build :D This next video is the not very action packed first meeting with Paarthy. However, I have at least edited it down to the essential discussion and made it a watchable 11 mins. https://youtu.be/5uJ0TBOPGik In game with his full narration....the old Dova should be called "Windbaganax" chuckles ;) Edited by Rick, Jun 6 2017, 09:53 PM.

Chuckles....thanks Kes. We have survived Alftand and Blackreach emerging clutching the Elder Scroll. Actually, 'survived' is under stating it....we did more than just survive....in fact we had a Falmer and Dwemmer machine slaughterfest. Great fun! Here's the carnage highlights https://youtu.be/njruAa-y8LM :) |

Aaaaand back up at the icy mountain top, with a little help from Paarthy...we bring Alduin to his knees....which really annoys him, so he flys off to sulk. https://youtu.be/-sbBJFfBR8k |

The meeting at High Hrothgar Peace Council went well. Elenwen got thrown out....Ulfic postured brilliantly, Gen Tullius made threats, and a way forward emerged. Then we went and captured Odaviing in Dragonsreach....not always easy...he can kill ya you know! But we backed well off as he came inside and the trap came down...Bam! Then we hitched a lift to Skuldafn. Here's how it all went down.... https://youtu.be/iXyN7YRtFQU Next up...the biggie, probably a two or even three parter...as we assault Alduin's hideout and follow him into Sovngard. It's either us or him ! Stay tuned :) Edit...corrected vid link tgt :) Edited by Rick, Jun 10 2017, 11:11 PM.

I see you've got past the point where you died last time. That alone is a big step through. You last link (the capture of Odahviing) points to your previous video, Alduin's Bane. I can only play in weekends, so i advance slowly. I just went and took the first lesson from the Greybeards, but first i needed to unload the loot back at Whiterun and since i was there, i took another quest from Aela. This time she sent me at Redoran's Retreat where i had to kill yet another Silver Hand officer. When i returned, Kodlak wanted to speak with me. He wasn't very happy when he heard what we've been doing (Aela and me), but he sent me on another quest. I postpone the massacre of the Glenmoril Witches because i feel i'm advancing too fast compared to the main quests. Is is necessary to complete the main questline before we complete any other questlines or it doesn't matter as long as we keep Dragonborn DLC for last? I headed to Riften to continue my journey to enlightenment. On my way to Ivarstead, i helped my brethren at Largashbur to defeat a giant. I've spent my night at the Vilemyr Inn, then i gave a "little push" to that fishermen, settling the first part of Book of Love. Narfi gave me a human heart as a reward for finding his sister's body. The 7 Thousand Steps weren't that difficult, but i had help from the townsfolks of Ivarstead against those cave bears. The Snow Bear and the Ice Wraith almost killed eachother and the Frost Troll followed me to the gate of High Hrothgar, but didn't enter. After a long talk with the Greybeards, i climbed to the Throat of the World and picked up that special pickaxe (just as a trophy, i know we can't use it because it's unique). |

Thanks AD, I have fixed my video linky.....it goes to the correct one now ;) The only stipulation in the rules for questline sequence is Dragonborn dlc last...and that's due to the gifts of the black books....which you have to use as they are essential quest items. So....you can do all other questlines in any order....but note you will need a shout and to be full Dragonborn to impress Faralda at the gate to the College of Winterhold. So....the MQ, (or any of them) does not have to be completed in one go :) Your build is very tough, shame about the sword tho' I would definitely have upgraded that....I am guessing its to keep in character....but an Orcish sword maybe! Odd that the troll didn't follow you into the monastery....he was close enough. If he gets too close before entering he will spawn in front of you, just inside the doors.....which can be very bad news! Well done AD :) Edited by Rick, Jun 11 2017, 05:51 AM.

Skyforge steel weapons are better than Dwarven and Orcish. Only Ebony and above are better, but Ebony and Daedric doesn't look good with my orcish armor. so i'll only change the weapon when i can create Dragonbone weapons. Indeed, it can be tricky when the enemy spawn in front of you and block your way. The main problem is that the AI will activate before you can even see what's happening, so by the time you're out of the loading screen, the enemy already landed one or two blows. I've seen you clip. Irileth can be very funny sometimes... |

I am pretty pissed right now....so is Adella. We got to the very end of the MQ...and suddenly Dragonrend won't bring Alduin down....so he can't be killed. It looks correct....and it downed the Skuldafn dragons.....but Alduin just shruggs it off and keeps flying. Hit him four times point blank....reloaded Skuldafn...same thing. Our MQ is broken :( |

Dumb question, but the old dead Blades are also shouting at him, right? |

No....the three heroes don't use Dragonrend in the final battle.....its upto the player to bring him down. Otherwise technically you'd not have to engage at all...they would for it for you. But it is pretty stupid considering they invented the shout! Um' they do shout UF at him (uselessly) and of course we all did clear skies first.... Edited by Rick, Jun 11 2017, 10:22 PM.

Yeah. I did recently load in the "sit anywhere" mod......but it is hard to see how that could adversely affect Dragonrend......maybe I will disable it and see what happens. |

I have two versions of "sit anywhere" and the FNIS version can screw things up endlessly... If you're sitting and happen to save or wait while sitting, you can lose an entire game and have to start the character from scratch. Usually for me that manifests as being unable to move the character, equip spells or weapons and that sort of thing. |

So he's not reacting to the shout at all? Sometimes a dragon will fly away if there isn't a place to land. |

Only thing I could find suggest's going into your menu for 10 to 20 seconds.. one say's equip and up equip an item.. going in and out of the menu.. the other just says to go into the menu for 10 to 20 seconds... Other than that, their really isn't a lot on a bug that happens then.. but we are talking skyrim... |

Another thing maybe to try is to shut down your console and restart it...whatever you have to do to completely clear memory...and then try from your last save. |

I am going to disable the Sit Anywhere mod and try again. If that fails....I will then load a save that is prior to the mod....but sheesh....losing many hours. If that fails....well I guess we are back on the cart with Ralof. Neil says that mod can screw up a game....soooo....maybe it is affecting Alduin....preventing him from "sitting" idk. Clutching straws here.... |

:) Looks like Neil's analysis was on the button.....and of course the "Sit Anywhere" mod had been installed for the first time just prior to going to Skuldafn....making it a definite suspect in my book too. With the mod disabled....and not even requiring a prior clean save....Alduin immediately plopped down with the first (and every subsequent) Dragonrend shout. I am peeved over the mod tho' because I have yearned for this ability since X360 days. I won't uninstall it.....but if future quest lines balk....I shall disable the mod to get past each sticking point. Maybe it only affects Alduin's "sit" but I won't hold my breath on that score. For now....really relieved to have got to the end of the MQ. Massive raw footage....gonna need a LOT of editing.... Back soon :) |
