Can someone explain why there's a Khajiit in Whiterun in this picture? I took the screenshot but at that time I didn't notice it had a Khajiit in it. I thought Khajiit were forbidden to enter cities (except the Dragonborn).

I don't use any mods and it wasn't a companion.

Update: Okay I found one way is to make him chase you into Whiterun. (Screenshot here) But I don't remember doing this when I took the original first screenshot.

I think it's 5 jobs per hold.

By the way if Delvin or Vex gives you a job for hold that you already have influence it, just cancel it and pick up another one for a hold you need.

Also remember to backup your save game files to some external disk or cloud service like DropBox.
My Asus laptop which I had been playing Skyrim on died and I lost all my Skyrim saved games.
Now replaying the game on my new Dell, in preparation for Dawnguard.

Try fus-roh-dah on the big golden ball in the ceiling. :3

1) Train sneaking and learn Assassin's Blade. It gives you 15 times backstab dagger damage.
2) Join the Assassin's guild.
3) Equip the Shrouded Gloves that give you 2x damage.

Now you have 30x backstab dagger damage and can 1 hit KO a giant.

I agree, Mage is quite overpowered. Right now I'm playing as a mage with 100 Conjuration and I win all fights by summoning 2 Dremora Lords or Storm Atronachs.

I just wish there was a faster way to contact Delvin and Vex once you've completed a job. Right now we have to go through 2 or more loading screens to get to the Ragged Flagon. Bethesda should extend the Courier service so I can message Delvin/Vex once I'm done with a mission.

Purchased Dawnguard and downloading now!

After installing Dawnguard update, I wasn't sure how to actually how to start the quests. But after I returned to Whiterun, I met this guy:

Playing as a Vampire Lord is fun!

You can always cure yourself of vampirism. But being a Vampire Lord is different from being a normal vampire, and can only be obtained by letting Lord Harkon bite you.

As long as Harkon and Aela are alive, you can switch between Werewolf and Vampire Lord. This is necessary if you want to get both the Vampire Lord and Werewolf achievements in 1 player character.

You can cure yourself of vampirism at any stage by changing into a werewolf.

Conversely, you can cure yourself of werewolf anytime by asking Harkon/Serana to change you back into a Vampire Lord.

Haven't tried mounted combat. Forgot all about it.

Edit: Correction. You can only ask Aela the Huntress to turn you back into a werewolf ONCE.

Completed the main Dawnguard questline as a Vampire Lord. Overall the story is so-so. The good things are the interesting characters - Serana and the final boss fight. The boss fight is more interesting than fighting Alduin.

But some of the dungeons are really annoying, especially the Forgotten Vale. You'll understand what I mean once you've played that.

I'm also currently a Necromancer. My house is full of dead bodies I've collected using Dead Thrall.

I will need to load one my older saved games to play the Dawnguard faction then.
But I think most of the quests should be the same after finding the Moth Priest.

At first I liked being a Vampire Lord, but the whole daytime no stamina/health regeneration thing was really annoying.

Well there is 1 good thing about being a Vampire Lord... with Vampiric Grip you can throw a giant lol.

I've no problems unlocking shouts.

Too bad she can't be married with.

Normal Skyrim has no perks for Werewolves. And playing a Vampire Lord in Dawnguard is very different from the normal vampire in Skyrim. You should watch the Dawnguard trailer.

Lycanthropy is not related to Dawnguard faction, but you need Dawnguard installed.
Being a werewolf is related to the Companions questline, just like before. Except now you have perks.
