Hello! I've been having trouble in Skyrim. The wolves in the game don't howl! They make the movement (they put their heads in the air) but I hear nothjng! I play on xbox. Do you guys know any way to fix it?
Do you have Dawnguard installed? It might make them stop howling. The bug is fixed with the Unofficial Skyrim patch but it's only for PC so I suggest uninstalling and reinstalling Dawnguard.

I tried paying off my bounties to get vilkas off my trail but he is still hunting me down, I think it's time I kill him but do you have any other suggestions?
Are you sure you don't have bounty anywhere else? It could be in any hold. Check your stats to see where you have bounty, it can also be a small bounty that leaves him like this even if you've cleared the big ones. Sometimes he may still do it after you've cleared your bounty and in that case I suggest you kill him if he doesn't mean much to you. Finish the Companions questline first however as I think he's an essential NPC until it's finished. Or you could try if you can recruit him, then go outside whiterun and dismiss him, wait for one hour immediately before he engages in conversation and then recruit him again.

I want to marry Derkeethus, but I always want to keep him as a follower. If I marry him, can I still have him as a follower? I enjoy going on adventures with him.
You can have your spouse as your follower as well! But I wouldn't suggest taking Derkeethus as your spouse as he will always try to go back to his original home and it's annoying. Unless you want to live with him in Darkwater Crossing! This bug is fixed with the Unofficial Skyrim patch but I don't know if you play on PC.

Hi I've never done this before but I have a question if a quest related follow dies (e.g.eola) where does the body go because she died and before I could search her I went to jail
Check the place where she died, the hall of the dead in Markarth as well as Reachcliff cave. Some followers' bodies are continue lying around for a while, some spawn in Halls of the Dead or their original location and some just disappear. If you can't find her body in those three places, it's gone.

Ok so this is possibly the worst glitch my game has yet to have. I was just playing my game one day like a week after doing the HUGE quest for Auriel's bow and I obtained the cursed vampires blood arrows and I thought I should try it out. The bow was gone.... It disappeared idk where it went and I have been looking for ten years and I have no clue where else to look and I'm devastated.
Load a save before the bow disappeared? Because to me this does not sound like a bug cause the only known disappearance bug is the Forsworn Conspiracy one where they take your stuff. If you are playing on PC, transport it to your location or vice versa. On console loading a save is your only option imo.

So I've just acquired an interesting glitch. I have THREE ''Drain Vitality'' shouts, but two of them have the same words as ''Mark For Death''... I'm not sure if it'll remain that way for long, I'm on a mission with Teldryn to collect all the words for the shouts I know and this has just occurred when I was gathering the words for ''Drain Vitality''. For notes: I'm gaming on the 360. It's quite an interesting (yet rather confusing) glitch.. Is this a first or has this happened before??
I haven't heard of this before but I found the glitch! It's caused by Dawnguard :( It's caused if you learned Drain Vitality before any of the three words for Marked for Death or if you learned a word of Marked for Death after istalling Dawnguard. These glitches are fixed by the Unofficial Dawnguard Patch but it's only for PC: So if it bugs you, I can only suggest you load a save prior to learning the last Drain Vitality word and learn a Marked for Death word before it. It might work. Or uninstalling Dawnguard and learning Marked for death first and then reinstalling it. If you don't use these two shouts I would suggest just suffering along with this glitch :D

I heard you like helping people with skyrim stuff. On my last save quite a few people died. Lydia, Aela, Ect... Then after I finished defeating Alduin they all showed up. Aela had also died during a quest I was doing for her and when she "rose from the dead" everyone still acted like she was dead. Any clues as to how this happened?
You heard wrong. Nah just kidding! I like to help to the best of my ability but I'm no bug-sovling-know-it-all-queen-of-skyrim to the slightest :D. Anyway, so they all showed up in Sovngarde or in Skyrim? The Companions tend to respawn at Jorrvaskr but they are glitched out so I would suggest not talking to them or taking any quests from them even if you could. But for the reasons why this happened, I have no idea, sounds so weird to me!

my question is...on my Xbox 360 I'll play then it will autosave and everything is still cool but like 20 minutes later when it autosaves again the game will freeze causing my whole Xbox to freeze. Please help!
Try disabling the autosave feature and just rely on your hard saves? If it doesn't work, try these "Try clearing both your system and your game cache as the game relies heavily on your console's memory.
To clear system cache Normally you go to My Xbox - System Settings - MEMORY - Device options - Clear System Cache.
Clearing the Game Cache on the Xbox 360 is a separate function from clearing the System Cache. In order to do so, you must hold the LEFT Bumper, RIGHT Bumper, and the X button all at the same time on the Xbox 360 controller as a game is launching. Once you reach the Main Menu or Title Screen of the game, you can let go of the buttons. There will be no notification to you that this process has completed because it is all done passively.
Clearing the Game Cache resolves many problems in games that rely heavily on the Xbox 360's cached memory. Some of these problems include, but are not limited to NPC issues, random textures, and "hitching", "lagging", or "slow gameplay". Source.
