I did google it but the only solution that seems to work is the one Jman mentioned which is the Stormcloak one but I did those quests before the Cidna mine quest. Apparently it stems from resisting arrest in the Temple of Talos. If you submit it shouldn't happen. Oh well killing guards will raise my 1 handed and light armour skills.

Ordered Assassin's Creed Revelations today (Ottoman ed.n with the dlc). I like the AC games but don't think they're worth full price. Happy to pay £17.95 though

They've not dispatched it yet, and Amazon are now doing it for fifteen quid - so cancelled the original order (sorry zavvi - you snooze you lose) and re-ordered from Amazon. Can't argue with £14.97 (same price on both consoles)

Did the Unyielding II achievement on trials this morning.. (doing Rock Steady without fault or moving rider position)... its not as hard as it sounds, but it will take you tons of trial and error to get it right.. if anyone needs any help/tips on how to jump certain bits just let me know although Im sure you can just as easy watch a video, but I didnt    I also "platinumed" it and beat both your guys times 

I think I am going to have to watch videos for the squirrels achievement, havent even found one yet lol.. no idea what they even look like..

Could probably get all achievements for this game.. although need a new live subscription for the multiplayer ones, still havent bothered to renew it yet.. I did see a 2 months for £2 offer on the 1st tab on the dashboard, clicked on it and it took me to a trailer for max payne 3 ..  lol  Let me know if anyone spots any good deals


Also took a audit of my games last night.. took me a while, listed 50 games that Im definitely never going to play again to sell on flea-gay..    Hoping for about £3 each.. £150 would go quite nicely towards a new pushbike

Found another supposed fix for the Markarth guard glitch. Haven't tried it yet but have you heard of it Jman as you mentioned you'd tried a few. Apparently you go to Markarth and get to the Tenple of Talos without being seen by the guards go inside and there will be three guards. Two will attack you and one does the Cidna mine speech. You run through the dialogue with the third guard then he goes to act. Sheaf your weapons like you do when you submit to a guard and it reverts to the normal arrest speech and you can just pay your bounty and it fixes it.

As I mentioned I haven't tried it so don't know if it works. I'm going to give it a go later.

Here's a YouTube video Incase my explanation isn't clear.

That was the first fix I tried doing, but when I got into the temple, no-one was there.. just 3 dead guards on the floor lol.. I had already killed them previously... in fact Im sure the first time I went into the temple...all 3 attacked me and wouldnt stop, so didnt have much choice but to kill them all.. and then I did the jail/mine quest afterwards when I surrendered to a random guard outside the temple.... so I cant tell you if that fix will work or not because the guards were dead.. but good luck!!

I killed them also so they may already be dead. I'll have a look.

Am I the only one here that gets gaming ants in my pants..? Generally I'm fine, I'll play a game to completion without a problem but every now and then I just can't seem to settle on playing just one, I'll be playing something for 5 or 10 minutes and then switch to something else.

Have just started Dead Island and am really liking it so far...but the mood I'm in, as described above, I won't be playing it for too long lol.

Golden Week in Japan has seen sales increases for hardware for every platform apart from the Vita. Not good. Sony need to announce some sort of system seller at E3 next month otherwise the platform is in serious trouble for third party support in one or two years time.

Tried the fix. It didn't work I made it to the shrine without being seen and the guards inside were alive but they just started with the looped speech.

...And this was GOTY worthy? 

[bealec]

People are saying that it would stop them playing the game. It hasn't stopped me. I think it bothers the achievement/trophy hounds who need to go there to get certain things but for me I'm not fussed I just kill all the guards.

[AVFCRoss]

It stopped me, I was enjoying it up until I couldn't take 5 steps without hitting a massive wall of crippling lag.

[bealec]

Yeh but that's a game breaking issue. The guards always chasing me isn't.

Hasn't that been sorted yet..?
