The abandoned house quest in Markarth was pretty cool.

Ugh.. I finally got tired of running to the Jarl's house in Whiterun to do enchanting, cheated a bit and read up on houses, and...

Hjerim. Nice!

Except I didn't read past the 'cool stuff the house has' table and encountered one of the zillion bugs associated with the house. There is blood and entrails everywhere, goddammit! No containers in the room with the alchemy/enchanting tables either. GRRRR

So I moved to the Archmages quarters. No (buggy) mannequins or (buggy) weapon plaques, but at least there are some containers within easy reach of the alchemy table. I almost never use alchemy.

Otherwise... Destruction only for DPS is fun, I don't care what anyone says.

Also... Thank god for '~save [save name]'

There's a mod out that adds 2 chests to the house right next to the enchanting/alchemy tables.

Also the blood etc will go away if you buy the 'clean up the murderer's mess' upgrade first.

I didn't have the quest complete before buying upgrades, so no option to clean up the mess. I did 'markfordelete' all the crap in that room.

You should be able to buy the clean-up once you've investigated all of the clues. The key is you have to buy it first. Its only 500 gold.

It's not available after purchasing the Living Room upgrade--known bug. I bought that before finishing the quest.

If you do not buy "Clean up the murderers mess" for 500 gold before purchasing the Living Room upgrade, the "mess" will still be there and the option to clean the mess will disappear.

Not a huge deal since the only faction quest I've completed has been the College of Winterfell, and since I play as a mage it fits.

One kind of neat thing I found when I tried markfordelete on the bloody floor texture (which removed the floor) was falling through the map. Once you fall so far you're teleported back to the entrance point for that area. Beats the heck out of that spongy effect I got in certain areas in Oblivion.

It's Winterhold. You've clearly been reading too much.

Remember when there was that DF story about the dwarf that caught an arrow with his teeth?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

By the way, that character is an Altmer named Cacame Awemedinade.
I figured since I can't be a dwarf this is the next best thing.

Nice catch, however..
In my opinion, DF elves would be better suited as Bosmer of Elder Scrolls, due to how similar they are in certain aspects.

But that's just my opinion.

You should go up to a guard and say, "I used to be a guard, like you, but then I caught an arrow with my teeth!"

But they are ok with other people doing it for them, so they're not that close to DF elfs. They also don't eat plants.

Besides, in terms of sheer snobbery (and xenophobia) the Altmer have them beat. Of course, what this really means is that the Thalmor are the nearest equivalent, as they combine (presumably) the worst of the Altmer with the worst of the Bosmer.

I found out that you can have your cake and eat it too when Escaping the Silvermine in Markarth.
