I've got a photo of me in a temple in Thailand doing exactly the same thing at an archway. I found one dragon curled round some ruins (looked very atmospheric in the depths of a snowstorm. I had to look twice before I realised what it was) at the top of a mountain, just next to one of the walls that gives you a new Shout. My companion and I took the dragon out relatively easily, though poor old Lydia did take a bit of a battering. So I wandered over to the wall, thinking it was all over, when a named thing jumped out of a coffin nearby and started slinging explosions at us that nearly killed me several times over, all the while laughing at the pathetic amount of damage I was doing. That's when I ran away, and didn't stop running until I'd fallen to the bottom of the mountain. Unfortunately, Lydia didn't make it. I went back to the site much later, after wondering how long it would take her to catch me up, and found her body slumped against the Shout wall. I felt really guilty while I looted her corpse and got all the good weapons back that I'd given her. Then the bastard named thing appeared again and I ran and ran and ran.

I mean I enjoyed the DB quests in Oblivion but I didn't like the ones where you have to kill innocents. So maybe they use this as a filter? Probably not, it's probably just to fuck with you. It makes no difference. I killed the innocent sounding woman, on the basis that someone who sounds so innocent is bound to have some skeletons in the closet. I then asked Astrid if i'd got the right one and she refused to tell me. MrTrent A young loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent, the helpless, the powerless.

Try talking to her. There's an option that says something like "I need to trade some stuff with you". Then she's very sarcastic.

Aye, worked it out, seems the option's only there when she's following you.

Got to admit that my little 5770 is coping with it better than I expected. High texture, world and shadow settings, a bit of AA, maximum viewing distances and it's happily zooming along at 1920x1200. This time around, I'm VERY impressed with the smoothness of the engine with regards to loading stuff whilst you're moving. The Gamebryo ones always stuttered a bit for me here and there as they loaded new cells as you moved around, but Skyrim seems dead smooth.

Only main quibble I have with it so far is the lack of a hotkey system. I can't get the "Favourites" menu to work, and it's rather annoying having to keep going in and out of my inventory to switch between magic and weaponry. I'm sure someone will soon create a mod for it! I want to be able to map a few weapons and spells to the different buttons on my mouse. That used to work a treat for Oblivion!

And as for game-breaking bugs, I kept getting constant CTDs when I first launched it. Google told me to change my Windows audio settings to 44Khz/16bit and then it worked. Weird!

The favourites menu works perfectly for me. Select the items, spells, whatever in the inventory and hit F to favourite them, then Q brings up the menu in game (and handily pauses the action while doing it) then click on whatevr you want with left or right button depending on which hand you want it in (LMB for right hand, RMB for left hand).
