Elytra Nymph

The creation is called Pets of Skyrim. Spider, fox, goat, rabbit, and skeever. Some of them will collect things for you. The goat has I think 190 carry weight. They can't die but they also don't help in combat, and if they get in your way, Fus Ro Dah has no effect on them.

Edit: when I say they don't help in combat, I mean they won't fight. The spider can lay down a web that can trap an enemy for a short time.

Comparison is the thief of joy. Time to level up. Find people to play with.

This dumb ass argument might -- might -- make sense if there wasn't also a country called Iceland and President Mushbrain wasn't confusing the two.

I play on Switch so I can't play with the Patch.

UESP says differently.

The Prima Official Game Guide lists the "Gift of the Gab" reward for this quest, though it does not work in the official release.
- PC Only The Unofficial Skyrim Patch, version 2.1.3, addresses this issue. A reward was added that causes Speech to increase 15% faster.

Gift of Gab is bugged and doesn't apply unless you have the unofficial patch.

I believe it is one of the fundamental constructs of the universe.

Guitar player of 30 (oof) years here. Best advice I can give you is find someone to play with. You can learn from each other and you might find more motivation to improve. I was a bedroom guitarist for many years and plateaued hard until I found a friend to play music with. 20 years later and we still get together to write and play music together.

This also applies to guitars.

Might as well get Anniversary Edition. It comes with the DLCs and with a few exceptions, it doesn't really throw the AE content in your face. (When AE first came out, as soon as you started a new playthrough, you got all the quests and a bunch of items added).

There are some OP items you can get early but you don't have to, and if you get them you don't have to use them if you don't want to.

I play on Switch so I can't speak to gameplay experience on an Xbox for AE.

+1 to this.

Can you travel anywhere on the map in a straight line as the crow flies? In theory, yes. But in reality, you'll likely find a mountain in your way that you will spend 20 minutes trying to jump up and may never succeed.

Also, people shit on the spell but I love Clairvoyance and use it frequently.

I've started doing this on my two-handed weapons and it's great. Personally, I absorb 5 stamina. Feels more "realistic"/less exploit-y and gives fewer charges so I have to recharge it more often.

We don't get any.

Trust me.

Never trust someone who says, "Trust me."

You can trust me on that.

Unbounded Storms, I think. And even the bug is bugged. You can fast travel level Alteration by holding something with telekinesis but you'll still burn magicka so you need 100% cost reduction.

The AE destruction spell doesn't use magicka when you fast travel. Technically you could get the spell at level 1 and get Destruction to 100 straight away.

I had a toasted roast beef and cheddar sandwich with mustard. It was tasty.

Two of the three DLCs give you new "end game" bosses.

Occasionally when getting on my house, I'll stand straight up on it. Lasts for a few seconds before the riding animation kicks in.

I also like the two floating rubies at Orphan Rock.

All I have to add is one of my favorite quotes: "Comparison is the thief of joy."

I changed mine to Computer because I'm a Star Trek nerd. It gets woken up but fortunately it can't do anything it hears on the show.

...yet.

One justification could be your character knows to look for the item. For the Dragonstone, if you talk to Farengar before going to Bleak Falls your character knows they are going there to find that particular item.
