Does anyone know?, Misc how-to's Options

[ghastley]

I wanted to give my latest character a name containing a non-keyboard symbol - ñ - which I can type in most contexts using ALT+164 (on the numeric keypad) but doing that in Skyrim character generation gets me "164" as it ignores the ALT key.

Anyone know how to create a name using non-keyboard characters?

That is the same problem I had when I tried to manually advance the civil war in order to do it without doing the main quest as well. It left me stumped. I don't know why they insisted on using the same quest for both sides, and I don't know how the game tells which side you are on. Now that I think about it, I believe they used a single quest for taking every hold, on both sides. That is why you didn't see the name Whiterun. It is a screwed up mess, why Bethesda did it that way is beyond me. I imagine it was just to make it difficult for modders.

Something they seemed to have gone out of their way to do in Skyrim, lol.
