Elder Scrolls V Skyrim

Isn't there some in game option for you to add facial tattoos? Sounds a bit heavy going having to replay just to change how your character looks.

Not from what l know, once you start for the rest of the game you can't change your character. l think in these games they should add a barber shop or something where you can change your hair, scars, paint and stuff. My OCD kicked in l guess, l wasn't really happy his face being too clean.

I dunno if there is a character customization within the bulk of the game. Do you really have to restart to add a tattoo or get a shave and a haircut? I am curious about this as well.

Not for consoles. In Fallout 3 there was one part in the middle of the game where a guy in a vault asks if you want a hair cut and you could change things, but that was only once.

Wow, that is sort of unfortunate. I had just assumed that surely there would be a barber shop or something somewhere like in WoW. I'm generally happy with my characters appearance thankfully, but I'll keep it in mind when I make a new character.

Semi related to this though, I've had a damn arrow stuck in my character's chest for a few hours now. Here is a pic:

I've tried changing armor, sleeping, waiting, un-equiping and re-equiping my arrows, and fast traveling, but the damn thing is still there. Sort of distracting from my third person role-play experience. Anybody know how to get it out?

Oh, and does anybody know how to marry:

Spoiler:

Lydia? I know she is one of the NPC's eligible for marriage and I've got the amulet equipped, but it doesn't trigger any dialogue with her that would lead to marriage.

Got to level 11. Weapon racks/plaques glitched again. Starting over for a 4TH ____ing time!

What is the weapon rack/ plaque glitch? I think so far my PC version has been rather perfect. Only thing I saw was a mammoth spawning from the sky and falling to its death instantly. And of course, followers can get launched into space by giants but somehow magically appear after a little wait.

Spoiler:

Should be the same as any other marriage target. You have to get the necklace from Maramal the priest at the Temple of Mara in Riften, which you already have. Then you have to exhaust all the conversation topics I think. Have you been with her for a long time?

Edit: just checked on my guide, according to it the only pre-req is to become the Thane of Whiterun...that doesn't make sense, since you'd have gotten the title before you got Lydia...not sure whether yours is bugged?

Last edit: Maybe dismiss her as follower and talk to her at your home? Not sure if that will make any difference.

Ok I am happy with my character, but I was thinking about adding some war paint... so onward as is then.

It's glitched on the 360 but you can do it on the PC via console commands.

 

[kobayashi93]

Pretty sure there was a robot in Fallout 3 that could at least change your hair at any time. If I recall correctly he lived in your house.

I can't recall any appearance alterers in Oblivion.

I just googled it and apparently she is bugged and can't be married. I'm curious if anybody has been able to to. Hopefully they'll fix it in a patch. I'm going to try your last suggestion anyway though.

Ah, okay.

Spoiler:

Sort of a shame since I want my wife to be my companion and I've liked her as a companion so far. Maybe I'll try to marry that Mjoll lady in Riften, but I wonder if that would conflict with joining the Theives guild.

It doesn't give you the option to mount/place your weapon on them.

Kidd, are you playing the Xbox, PS3, or PC? My weapon racks never worked from the get go. I'm playing on Xbox, my brother has it on PS3 and he has never had a problem with them.

I'm on xbox. But the second character I created they worked fine . . . so it must be random. Hope they patch it.

Skyrim > real life

Yeah in Fallout 3 (and New Vegas) there were various characters who could perform haircuts/beard stylings.

It is very odd that you can't change the character look at all in the game.

That's one of the glaring flaws in this game. I can't understand why they would force you to stick with your initial decision....

 

[vareika]

Just 1 shot a giant and mammoth with sneak dual dagger power attack...love it...kinda OP but for the record I was doing it at 2am and had still had a hard time getting behind the mammoth without getting detected (had to use the terrain / shadows to full extent). I think the dual dagger power attack is actually a 3 hit combo.

The only way for the arrow to disappear is to get shot by more arrows. Go find someone to shoot you a few times and they should all go away.

 

[RJMacReady16]

^ Yes that works. I even get "ice bolts" stuck in me from Mages and the only thing that gets rid of them is more arrows.

Dally, I'm sorry to say I found your problem hilarious.

I had the same problem dude, but I had 2 arrows, one in the neck (same as you) and 1 in the waist.

I was advised to swim in the water, but that did'nt work for me

Solution: Load other save where you had'nt the arrow sticked if this bother you so much of course

Ah, I see, will do. Thanks for the advice.

I found it funny too for the first hour, but when I realized it wasn't coming out I got a little nervous.
