So my girlfriend started playing skyrim a few weeks ago but when she made her character she accidentally named it "5"... Don't ask how, she said it was buggy and ended before she could change it. My question is, can we use the "showracemenu" command to change the character name or will that bug it out? I use the Save Manager GPI program and it's great, but she's annoyed that her name is "5"... so we'd like to change that, but I don't want to use showracemenu to change her name if it will ruin her savegame. Has anyone done this before or is there another way to do it that I've missed? Thanks!

I have my FoV set to 95 as well... but I'm not sure why you need SKSE for this? I just type fov 95 in console and I'm all set. Usually saves between loads, but sometimes I have to retype it.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS EDIT: No CK? /slashwrist.

Also, to expand upon what others have already mentioned... Enthir in the College of Winterhold is the Master Destruction trainer / vendor. I always buy all my spells off him because he pretty much ALWAYS has ALL spells (if your Destruction level meets the requirements). Should check him out. He also has a LOT of really good alchemy ingredients (daedra hearts included)

OK WE GET IT... some of you don't like the idea of this thread. Everyone is entitled to opinions, and you have expressed yours. Now, if you don't have something to ask or a question to answer, can you leave? You're basing an opinion of the idea for this thread on the "possibility of something negative". I have a better idea... think of it as a "possibility for something positive"... Perspectives can change and if you stop thrashing the thread before it does any of the negative things you mentioned, maybe you'll realize it's a cool idea after all. Personally, I think it's a great idea. I'll be using it every time I have a question rather then posting a new topic... and if there is a problem with that then the mods will address it... but until then, I think this thread is a great idea and plan on using it for personal questions AND to help answer other people's questions. Perhaps I'll add rules to the OP, such as *SPOILER-FREE Questions Only* and others... even though I really shouldn't be trying to appease the Debbie Downer's of the forum.

Just wasn't sure if anybody actually saw this part of my OP. Still wondering ;)

The point isn't to use this thread as a source of specific information you are looking for... the point is just to have a simple question asked / answered. Example Thread ^ 500+ pages on that one thread. I think you are missing the point of this thread. People come to this thread to either ask simple questions, or look at the questions that have been asked and possibly answer them.... saving space on the first page for discussion threads rather then "what is the best armor?" threads.

I noticed that these forums don't have a SQSA thread... so I decided to start one myself. The idea is pretty self explanatory, in that if you have a quick question you just post it here and someone will answer you. I visit a few other forums for different games and these threads are quite popular and usually the quickest way to get a response without cluttering up the forums. I'll start off the thread with a question I was wondering because of a new character build I wanted to try: Do bound weapons work with Elemental Fury or are they considered enchanted because of the Banish / Soul Trap enchants they carry? Also, if a mod wants to sticky this thread that would be great... as it will be easier for people to find (and further reduce the need for clutter posts)

you NEED to make more like this... thoroughly enjoyed this one. 10/10... will recommend this to friends.

lusty argonian maid books are hands down the best books in TES series. nothing funnier...

are you the computer administrator? sounds like a file / folder rights access conflict to me. Mod's dont just up an "uninstall" themselves, they have to be deleted manually. we'd require quite a bit more specific information (to say the least) if you want any sort of actual help.

should of posted in your other "wood chopping record" thread, as it's a bit of a niche activity, to say the least.... amazes me that you are still playing this game. Last time I chopped wood was like 15 years ago... and I was paid $5 for my 6+ hours of involuntary labor. The absolute LAST thing I want to do while playing skyrim is watch my PC chopping wood for 48 hours.. I could say more, but I'll refrain.

I didn't realize the English language existed in ancient Skyrim? I always find myself a bit irritated at your snide comments, as they always come off a bit "I'm-too-good-for-this". Honestly, are you the grammar police? Running around enforcing strict language law upon a fictional fantasy realm that has absolutely nothing to do with the real world? On topic, it's pronounced DWEH-MER by various figures in the game, so I'd place my bet on that option. Although until Bethesda releases the "Olde Tamriel Dictionary v1", one can only assume that the way it is spoken in Skyrim is the Nordic interpretation of the word... which could have vastly different pronunciations when spoken in the Dwemer tongue.

Thanks! I did the "help chest" thing and that worked. I've used that to find Item ID's before... didn't know I could do that to find object ID's too! I've got another question now, while there are people here and willing to help :P Do I need to setownership on the chest that I created in order for my things to not disappear? I'm putting a good majority of my crafting equipment and collected weapons / armors in different chests (that I'm creating) and I REALLY am hesitating to dump my inventory before I know for certain. Thanks again guys :)

Hey all, first off... GREAT TOPIC. I've been starting to mod my house in Markarth because I like that house the best due to the large library and decent armory room... anyways, I had a few questions: 1. I spawned a satchel to put on the enchanting table... moved it using "setpos" to RIGHT where I wanted it... but for some reason, I can't interact with it where I moved it to. The action to interact with it is still where it first spawned. I tried using "setpos" on the part where you can open the satchel, but it gives an error and says "you cannot move that". This is becoming pretty frustrating, as I have the breezehome enchanting table mod installed which adds and enchanter's satchel to the table aswell... so I KNOW it's possible to do this, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. 2. I wanted to add an ancient chest (because I like the way they look best) to my home, but I can't find the ID for it. Does any1 know what it is? THANKS in advance!

just give it a few days after the creation kit comes out... guarantee it wont be long after then before we can do this.

No need to put anything constructive in your post, am I right? Anyways, My suggestion to the OP would be to post in the mod's comment section, or contact the author of the mod directly and ask them your questions. For future reference, there is a "Skyrim MOD Discussion" forum, as well. EDIT: forgot to hit post and came back to a NINJA.... freakin nightingales EVERYWHERE man O___O

level up either archery or your full character level and it should go away... if not i dunno, this happened to a friend and he said it just went away after leveling up.

mod requests go in the mod request forum BTW... on topic, the sword is cool... but runescape? should of just posted the image (in the correct forum) and asked if someone could make something like it there... I highly doubt your runescape introduction is going to go over very well here :P

That works... SORT of. I have a few MAJOR problems with "animcam" though: 1. Defaults to Inverted... cannot be changed. Terrible. 2. Doesn't let you move the camera vertically... 3. Isn't a simple thing like holding a key while moving mouse, so it's a pain to use to begin with. animcam simply isn't a replacement for this obviously neglected game feature. I swear, the console has actually destroyed some aspects of this game.

never had that problem myself... but a good start would be to ask the creator of the mod that you are using for the enchant. as far as troubleshooting, just do the standard procedure... delete / uninstall the mod and see if it goes away. if not delete other mods that are similarly related one by one to see if that helps... and if THAT fails, uninstall / reinstall skyrim clean with no mods then start from scratch (obviously making sure to back up any saves you might have)

for future reference @ the OP and anyone else who didn't know... this doesn't deserve it's own thread, and even if it were a long complex questions with multiple possible correct answers, should STILL belong in the mod's discussion topic itself. Just saying, no need for clutter in these already disorganized forums.

i dont want to sound like a complete noob, but my mage is only level 35ish and i only have like 50something conjuration on him... but what is the "Dead Thrall" thing? Is it like a zombie that you can reanimate anywhere once you choose it? How many can you choose? Can someone explain to me? Thanks :)

the console command "PCB" is Purge Cell Buffer... i'd look up it's uses on UESP first and how to use it. That might help you, might not... just a suggestion.

Just so you know, 50 isn't the level cap... 81 is. You can still spend another 31 perk points. Granted, 100 in every skill isn't very realistic... you can still give yourself like 5-10 points of wiggle room should you need it (so you don't feel so confined with the 50 soft cap) My thoughts on your build: Ranger is an excellent skill... have you guys ever seen the difference with and without it? It makes a HUGE difference in combat, and if you need to dodge an arrow / spell / whatever while lining up a shot, it's damn near impossible without the Ranger perk. What actually IS unnecessary is Stealth 5/5. You only NEED 1/5 in the endgame... so save yourself 4 perk points and just get 1/5. I say this because of enchanted boots (Muffle) and other perks make it pretty much impossible for NPC's to find you, thus wasting 4 perk points on something you honestly don't need. As far as Steady Hand 2/2 is concerned... I only got 1/2 on my main assassin. My trick shot character (for funsies) has 2/2, but I've noticed that while I'm playing, slowing time as far as 2/2 goes is actually kind of annoying. It CAN be helpful at times, but those times are very limited, and for the most part you will be wishing you still had 1/2. Bullseye is a tossup. I have paralyze enchants on my bow and my blades, so having a perk that has paralyze was a bit of a waste in my build, so I passed up on it. Critical Shot 3/3 ??? I stayed at 1/3 for this aswell. 2 perk points for 10% chance? I passed on this one for the simple fact that with enchanting and smithing, you'll be damn near 1hit killing most mobs anyways, so what's the point of 2 wasted perk points for a critical hit that probably won't matter? As far as using a bound bow goes... Personally, I wouldn't do it. I have yet to see any solid statistics on DPS output in comparison to a Daedric (Legendary) w/out enchants, but I seriously doubt those claims. In the conjuration cost tree... if you are going to go for summoned companions, you should just go all out. Go all the way up to Master, because at higher levels those adept conjurations aren't going to last you very long... and the Master conjuration spells just OWN anyways... so yeah, beef that up to Master Cost Reduction with the other perks i've saved you thus far. As for the 2 points in Alchemy... I'd definitely spend 1 more and get the benefactor. 25% magnitude in terms of potions is actually a big deal, especially at higher levels. Spend the 1 more perk point and save yourself some ingredients by consuming less potions in the long haul. That's about it that I can think of. I hadn't planned on writing all this or going this in-depth... but after I started I figured WTH I might as well make it a full analysis. Hope I was helpful in some of my comments... but please remember this is just my opinion from my personal experience (I have 3 characters level 60+ and 2 level 40ish - if that means anything) Good luck!
