      Hey guys! Really need some help. I've recently decided to play the companions questline, been a while and this might be my 10+ play through. And I've never had any problems with it. But yesterday, while trying to start the "silver hand" quest, I would go out to the skyforge at night, but aela just doesn't show up! I've looked online, in nexus forums, and just about every Reddit post, but can't find any solution to this bug. I think it might be due to the "immersive citizens" mod, but I'm not sure. I don't know where else to turn, and I'm hoping Nate or anyone from this amazing channel community could help out. Cheers

    During one of my playthroughs, this happened:
    It was early game and I ended up in Morthal while very low leveled. I was on the outskirts of Morthal when I got attacked by Frostbite spiders. Because I was very underleveled (to the point I can't even take on Frostbite spiders) I ran back to Morthal since it was close by and hope the guards can help me kill them, luckily they did. But, along with the guards, a few of Morthal's civilians also jumped in to help, one of them, was Alva. During the fight Alva *spoiler* used her vampire soul drain on the spiders, in front of EVERYONE including the guards. After the fight resolved with the spiders being killed, everyone went back to normal like nothing happened. I was like: "Wait! Did you guys not see the woman using vampire powers right in front of you in broad daylight?!"

    • @barkbarkshark3797
      @barkbarkshark3797 4 роки тому +9

      Gob1 it’s the story behind the helm. During ysgramors campaign the sea of ghosts was extremely dangerous (kinda sucks that there wasn’t ghosts in the game but whatever) and so Yngol, the son of Ysgramor, attempted to cross back to Atmora and clear the way. He and his crew fought against the ghosts but a few days later, the ship landed back against Skyrim’s shores. The only thing still intact was Yngol’s helmet. Ysgramor grieved for many days and built the spire of Yngol to always be in view of the city. If you go to the tomb of yngol the account and meaning is told in the book you find.

    • @shadysam7161

    I have a tiny detail about alvar and hrogar too! When you are sent to kill alva use a clam/ pacify spell on hrogar and kill her ending her enthrallment, hrogar will thank the player but the thing is he becomes eligible for being a spouse and if you do marry him YOU CAN LIVE IN ALVA'S HOUSE basically the only house in the game the player can use as a home with a coffin inside makes for a nice role playing aspect for a vampire play through.

    as a german, I always thought Morthal sounded like a combination of the german words Moor and Tal. Moor meaning Swamp, and Tal meaning Valley, The City would be called Swamp-Valley. I know that's most likely not the intended name, but that's what I had in my mind every time I heard the name and I also thought it fits quite well when you consider the location of the city XD

    Another fun fact: There's a glitch when doing the quest Laid to Rest where Alva survives, after which she'll just return to Morthal and either be attacked on sight or continue living as if nothing happened.
    When this glitch happened to me, I found her in the quest's vampire den fighting another vampire.

    • @whatthefox7435
      @whatthefox7435 4 роки тому +13

      That's not a glitch, you can "choose" to let her live by sneaking or going to her home while she's not there.
      If you manage to save her when she goes back to the cave, which is hard, she'll comeback to Morthal and live there cuz no one but you know her secret.
      If people start attacking her on sight, now, that's a glitch.

    • @MinishMoosen
      @MinishMoosen 4 роки тому +3

      @@whatthefox7435 Yeah, the actual "glitch" or oversight is the fact that her vampire friends turn hostile on her, which is why she usually dies in the cave. I haven't seen townspeople attacking her after the quest ends, but I believe you need to show the Jarl Alva's journal to advance in the quest, so her secret should be out. But usually she gets to live on in Morthal with no one bothering her, so that's another side of the original oversight. What should happen is that her faction is changed from Morthal-friendly to vampire-friendly when the quest gets to the stage of her returning to the vampire cave--but it doesn't.

    • @snorlax6691

      Haha, I discovered this on my current game too. Alva wasn’t home when I went to steal the journal, though Serana murdered Hrogger to death before I could try to calm him. I found Alva down in the vampire den just hanging out near a bedroll and kind of just left her... I figured if the villagers took her out they’d have their revenge. I haven’t been back to the town since that happened, so I’ll have to look for her when I go back. I was a little busy smacking down Alduin.

    Assuming Morihaus is the namesake of the town, they would've named it for him for a few reasons. 1. The Nords aided the Alessian rebellion and were pseudo-allies to the empire that followed. 2. Morihaus was said to be the demigod son of Kyne, sent from Skyrim to free the Nords' cyrodiilic cousins from elven rule. The Nords themselves are the children of Kyne/the sky. Due to his relationship to Kyne (or vice-versa), he's also associated with the Thu'um, meaning the Nords revere him even more.
