said this on 30 Nov 2011 11:42:54 AM EDT Great guide! There is *one* small error though: All of the instructions here are correct, but for a perfectly neutral agreement (where Arngeir says in effect 'you did the best that could be done today' rather than 'you gave to much to the Imperials' or 'you gave too much to the Stormcloaks') you have to turn over Hjaalmarch. So the combo should be: Keep Elenwen there Stormcloaks get Markarth Imperials get Riften Stormcloaks get Hjaalmarch While I agree that Hjaalmarch is far to much of a repayment for having some stupid Elf sit at the table, it's what the game sees as fair. If you look at the strategy maps around Skyrim before the council, you'll see that the Empire actually has more than the Stormcloaks, so that might be the reasoning, but who knows! Happy dragon slaying! (Cancel this reply) |

said this on 15 Dec 2011 6:44:24 PM EDT I had a quest open to join the Imperial Legion. I had to finish it before General Tulius would even speak to me. At the negotiating table, it first tried to follow the instructions here. I made the ambassodor leave, even though the general didn't want me to. After I suggested Riften (making the general rather angry by doing so btw, complaining about how he expected better and how this is not a negotiation at all), the game went through a bug. I repeated and encountered the bug again. I tried a third time, this time letting the ambassador stay (even though they are just trying to pit the factions against one another and weakening the empire to benefit their own agenda). Ulfric was willing to stay. Until I offered Riften on a silver platter that is. Then, the game just stopped again and I had to reload, for the fourth time. I realize now the bug only occurs when trying to please my faction and only my faction. I tried again, this time I got out of my seat as the negotation began. I repeated everything (I did the very first time). This time, when they all look to an NPC, that NPC got up. They just stared. I had to reload again. Also there was no massacre. Perhaps it was my fault not speaking to the Legate, there was still an arrow above her head. But I was unable to talk to her at the greybeard summit. I even tried handing over winterhold. It didn't help. All I can say is: Save often, save at various stages. (Cancel this reply) |

said this on 07 Jan 2012 9:30:47 PM EDT Hey Mark, i was having this issue too, and tried a lot of different things. Finally, i tried sitting in the chair and Waiting. I waited until 8am (don't think the time or amount spent waiting really mattered) and as soon as I was done waiting, things started moving along again. Good luck! V (Cancel this reply) |

said this on 17 Feb 2012 5:49:02 PM EDT R.E. Ivan (CAUTION CONTAINS SOME SPOILERS) once you have returned to dragonsreach in whiterun and captured odahviing (the dragon) you will have to free him and let him take you to skuldofn which is the place that alduin is hiding. you have to fight your way through a tomb and get to the other side. once outside there will be a few draugr. MAKE SURE YOU KILL THEM FIRST! then go up the steps and fight the dragon preist. he is quite strong and deals a good deal of damage so get behing cover and use your arrows and your fire breath shout on him. he should be easyer to kill that way. once he is dead search him and take his dragon preist staff and place it on the platform he was doing some kind of ritual on when you first saw him then just jump into the portal. then you will be in sovenguard. make your way through and get to the hall of valor. there is a very big man in both strength and size. you must fight him but you dont need to kill him just use your fire breath shout on him and get a good couple of swings and he should let you in. meet the warriors and defeat alduin then you must talk to the big guy again and he will give you a new shout which enables you to call upon a warrior from sovenguard to figtht for you he will then send you back to the mortal world where you will see the epilogue. after that you can continue with the civil war quest line. hope this helped even if it did turn into a walkthrough.

said this on 15 Apr 2012 5:10:23 PM EDT Hey this guide is good but I don't have to option to tell Tullius or Ulfric that I have a message from the greybeards. The option just doesn't show up on the speech thing. I have completed the Jagged Crown and Message to Whiterun quests for the Stormcloaks and I was wondering if that mattered. Thanks.
