you cannot go third person mode until a short way into the 'tutorial', because your character isn't generated yet. Although, if you lack the patience to stay in 1st person for 5 minutes of the game (not to mention being too mindless to look at the controls to find out how to do it) then maybe this isn't the game for you..

maybe you should learn the difference between a phobia and a rational fear, instead of embarrassing yourself with your callous ignorance.. OP: If you are able to kill it, i think the best course would be to walk past along the wall, with your camera constantly pointing at the wall/floor. That's the only spider in that dungeon, if i recall correctly, so you should be able to go on playing with no problems later on. If not, you can always use the TCL console command to fly around the room, ending up on the other side, although the spider will still be there

As tirick said, the uesp has all the book's contents, and it's not affiliated with bethesda in any way, so I can't see any problem with making them available for kindle, as long as you don't claim ownership or sell it. and THANKS for doing this, I've always been impressed by the sheer amount of lore written for these games, and never got around to reading most of the books, so maybe now i'll get a chance to. nice work

i play both (usually male, but my archer is female) and i only ever play in first person so it's not really about what i want to look at all day. It's just about the character itself- sometimes i just feel that a specific gender better suits my character, and it seems nonsensical to only play your real gender in any game- by that logic we should all be playing humans, using no magical abilities- I don't play an RPG to play as myself.

so, like some sort of airship-type thing? it was doable in previous games, but i'll be honest, i don't know how it'd work with the current engine

He just happened to be the nearest person when i first become a werewolf. I think his corpse is still floating under the dragonsreach bridge, actually- will have to check when i next play :tongue:

it's an annoyance for me too- i don't like wearing elven or above, it just doesn't fit in with the setting at all, but i have to in order to progress. I think there are some armor replacers out already, that replace higher level gear with the models of fur/leather, so i suppose that will have to do for the time beign

this might seem silly, i know, but when is your earliest manual save? it's entirely possible you have an old save just out of helgen/some other point right at the start of the game, where you will still be level one- could be worth checking

i'm sure lydia is in there somewhere..

i almost changed it at the start, but thought better of it- i find it's easier to think of it as "mainhand/offhand" rather than "lefthand/righthand"

well, building a boat or finding a bridge USUALLY helps bypass streams, although, really, in skyrim your character has no problem swimming, so i don't see the issue. ontopic: as far as i've heard that no longer works? And more to the point... why? what possible reason could you have for this?

on a side note, it's quite funny to find them drifting downriver days later, miles away from their original location

Seems good in principle, but doesn't really work- It won't translate actual known words- like the dragon shouts, Force or Balance, for example- correctly. I'm guessing this is done letter by letter?

are you sure this isn't some kind of bug? i've gone on a few killing sprees and i've not come across even ONE character i couldn't kill- even in riverwood.

I had the same problem with lydia not wearing my beautifully crafted Dwarven armor, that i smithed, improved, and enchanted just for her :( then we got into combat and she decided that THEN she wanted to equip it
