Bobbleheads

Last Updated: Jul-12-2014

Fallout 3 BobbleheadEach bobblehead permanently increases one of the 7 S.P.E.C.I.A.L. statistics by 1 point, or one of the 13 skills of the player character by 10 points but not past the maximum of 10 (S.P.E.C.I.A.L.) or 100 (skills). Because of this, is inadvisable to max out any S.P.E.C.I.A.L.s before collecting the bobbleheads, as then the bobblehead will have no effect.

With the addition of the “Almost Perfect” perk that becomes available when level 30 is reached, (Broken Steel add-on required) it is tempting for advanced players to wait until they can use this perk, then collect all Bobbleheads. “Almost Perfect” raises all S.P.E.C.I.A.L. to 9, so collecting all bobbleheads after taking the perk makes all stats raise to 10. This requires waiting until level 30, however, which could handicap you for most of the game.

All Books and Notes

Last Updated: Jan-08-2015 (corrected book titles and added one title thanks to visitor comments)

A visitor by the name of Jen requested a sortable file which lists all of the books, notes, letters, journals, spell books and skill books in Skyrim. She also asked for the locations of each and the associated DLC (if any). I have done my best to compile such a list using existing resources on the net (please see the “Attribution” tab in the file), but I’m sure the list is far from perfect so take it with a grain of salt and send me a screenshot of your room full of books and paper when you’re done. 😀

Loot Collection Guide

  • Last Updated: 2014-Jul-11 (complete)

So far, I’ve found that the main chapters are broken into areas.  Once you’ve left an area, there is no way to return. This means that you might have missed some loot and the only way to to get it is to load a manual save (if you have one) or restart the level. Personally, I find this very frustrating!  In order to help, I’ve created a list with an entry for each “point of no return”.  Each lists the amount of the different types of loot you should have before leaving the area, and where the area ends.  If your amounts match, then you can leave knowing it has been cleared.  Otherwise, you can keep searching!

To check your progress of collectibles, loot/gold and pockets picked before you leave an area, open the journal and go to Player Progression > Statistics.  For documents and newspapers go to the Documents section in the journal.

Skill Books and Trainers

Last Updated: May-04-2013

There is one skill book and four trainers available for each skill in Reckoning.  If you want to max out your skills make sure that you take advantage of trainers before you pass their training threshold.  You may also want to save your skill books until after you’ve met with the four trainers for a skill.
