Keep getting new quests in Markarth, fucking annoying.

Got my full daedric armour now though and have my daedric greatsword enchanted with soul trap, just need more of the bigger soul gems.

Came across another bug last night.

A fetching mission but I just happened to have already picked up the item earlier in the game before taking the mission, now I can't complete it.

Things like this really drive me crazy and I would have thought a company like bethesda would be able to have sorted or already have thought about at least. This sort of bug has been around for bloody years. Quite frankly, unacceptable. It shows a lack of testing to me really.

I might play some Oblivion tonight seeing as I still don't wnt to ruin playing Skyrim on my pants rig :lol:

lol - that must be a console specific but, anytime i had a quest item already in my inventory i could just complete teh quest there and then. I need 2 flawless Sapphires to complete a quest from the start of the game. Cant find them anywhere, i tried pickpocketing everyone i came across, broke into every house, mined every ore i came across, checked all shops see if someone was selling it - fuckin annoying as hell.

This is the only one that I have had this problem, I guess it is because it is a specific item which you only get from one place and is a one time thing, as opposed to the flawless garnet/ruby/sapphire quests which I have done and completed by having items in my inventory already.

Bloody item has been in my inventory pretty much since I started the game and I can't drop it because it's a quest item. Same with those Stones of Barenziah.

Have a cupboard in my house full of emeralds, garnets, diamonds, rubys etc. Don't see any real use for them other than jewellery but I don't think the value of it makes any difference to enchantments so may as well make normal silver/gold rings/necklasses.

Bug is mentioned on here - http://newsquid1.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Pantea's_Flute

Downloaded it for PC and installed all the texture mods and shit.

The controls are awful. Mouse is laggy which I remember reading was bad mouse smoothing so I can fix that but the menus etc are terrible. The improved UI mod that I downloaded is good but impossible to navigate properly without a controller.

Looks great but being in more control is better.

Now feeling very tempted to order for 360...

At the moment I far prefer the 360 version despite the cost of it over the PC version.

I am sure there will be some mods that change that but even the large texture mods haven't made a huge difference in game (I can't tell in actual gameplay any different although I haven't done much on the PC).

And the PC version crashed when I hadn't saved for a while which was rather annoying as I had picked up shit loads of flowers on my way to Riverrun.
