So, that blind guy in the cave is weird. I wanted to get my sneak up so I snuck up behind him and shot him in the head with an arrow. He magically lived and was able to find his way to the exit when I promptly shot him and killed him.

What the hell?

This game is handicapped.

Suddenly my main file is gone out on nowhere.

Just got married, after much trouble with a long quest chain and name glitches (random members of the Companions would have their names listed as LOOKUP_FAILED) I married Aela the Huntress. She cooks, trains you in archery (I'm an ranger-type Nord) sells you stuff / can buy stuff from you, and is damn fine lookin'. What more can a man want?

I recorded this a while ago whilst loving around on an alternate save, but found it fitting.

I am now addicted to this game.
How do I shot Alduin.
Guys, I have done my best not to look anything up, and ask any help I needed from my kind friend Cancel over steam, but I really need to know now. How do I make steel ingots? And where do I find more iron? Do veins regenerate? I have about 15 iron ingots left from the Silent Moon mine Cancel pointed me to.

mine steel ore and smelt it (take them to Warmaiden's next to the entrance in Whiterun, there is a smelter behind all of the other
smithing equipment)
steal it/buy it/mine it
yes
you can sell them, or make weapons with them

you're silly. no.
mine IRON ore, and MALACHITE, enough of each for a 2:1 ratio, then smelt them together in a smelter. boom steel.

[TheArmyGuy]

Where do I find MALACHITE?

[Jaxx]

Where do I find MALACHITE?

the quote i've heard is 15 days. so try it by waiting a lot. ALSO: PROTIP
Xbox players, if you have to wait for a long time, press your Xbox button to speed it up 20x.

Really? Sweet. I'll probably die if I do that anywhere outside of my house though.

what
it's corundum
not malachite
and you only need a 1:1 ratio, it takes one of each to make one steel ingot

also Tag, if you're going to mine malachite, just get the perk for glass smithing (might take a while) and use the malachite for that
