When I get to level 20 and I finally realize this build is not gonna work out. When that dumbass wizard challenges me for being a wizard when I'm not really a freakin wizard...its just alteration man! When that dumbass wizard starts calling bullshit on me for using melee on him or anything other than destruction really. I'm not a wizard asshole, I just dabble bitch! When I make a non range build and those pussy ass dragons won't land! When Faendal is dead on arrival...even if I have no use for him, I'm always like wtf...this is bullshit! I'm on ps3 so I don't know if its a problem on other platforms but my block will not work at times...most notably when I really need it to, and on occasion my guy just wants to keep blocking.

I must be really unlucky then, I get that dead thrall glitch all the time...didn't even know it was a glitch. I don't conjure much but the ash piles are always annoying.

I've ran into this problem before but lately its been happening every time I get to Riverwood. On my current start up I arrived at Riverwood and found that all was well, I left to retrieve the golden claw at daybreak, I returned the same day at around 2pm only to find him dead near Alvor's forge...wtf? I didn't even interact with him, who keeps killing him?Has anyone else run into this? Any possible solutions?

Valenwood or Black Marsh.

As far as looks Markarth, setting to Riften, and location Whiterun.
