I have around 18-19 hours, but didn't start until Monday, so lost some days.
Killed 4 dragons now, had some nice progress, found that weird kid in Windhelm who starts the Dark Brotherhood-chain, seems a bit interesting, and I've heard that one of their quests gives nice rewards (?) so maybe worth doing.
I must say, the quest involving The Butcher is one of the funniest and most interesting I've done, easily my favorite in the game so far, though I'm a bit stuck.
Gonna put the next part in small text, don't want to spoil it for those who haven't done it, because it's a crime mystery that you have to solve, but those who have done it, maybe give me some help?
Anyhow, I did everything up until the mage got thrown in prison, obviously the wrong npc.
I know who the npc is, I've even lockpicked the chest in his house, so I have that journal, I've read that there should be a second event so that I can finish the chain, but I've run around the city during nighttime a few nights in a row without anything happening, so my question, is it like the first event, that it requires me to do X amount of things before it becomes available?
The reason I'm so "into" it, is that I really really want to buy the house in Windhelm, cause I think the whole hidden room-thing is a cool thing to have in a house, but I guess I can't buy it until I finish this quest.
Any help?
I also screwed around in the console a bit (which I shouldn't have done!) but hopefully it has not affected anything, the killer is still walking around, and nothing really changed.
