I have started to play as an alchemist type player, I opted for the decision to try and use little magic in the game, keeps me away from Winterhold, I have found alot of good information and it is pretty fun training to be an alchemist, I can't say that I am an alchemist yet; however I am getting there! The potions are really fun to make, I sell them in Ivarstead to Wilhelm in Ivarstead, I believe that may be the only merchant available in Ivarstead to sell items... that doesn't bother me too much because I am not looking to make gobs of money, just wanna stay at alchemist shack near Ivarstead, plus, reading the tablets on the 7,000 steps giving you skies voice available option is a real blessing because most if not all animals will not attack which gives me a peace of mind while walking to Ivarstead or any other place in the game. The only set back is that trolls still do attack.... aren't they considered animals in the game? I am going to try and stay away from the quest that the Sanguine dude is in, he already came over to the Ivarstead Inn at a low level, I was so mad when I saw him there, he is one of those annoying drunks in the bars. At least I have litlle Riekling with me to keep me company, although, the pug sounds kinda drive me bonkers! I think it would be awesome if there were random friends that showed up at the place you were staying, make the game feel more real you know? Oh by the way, the sky voice thing does actually stay in for a couple of hours, although gets taken away if you kill another animal, I am waiting for Serana to come along, so I can ship her off to Sanguine! Serana when she ditts out on you, you can use that do your advantage and make her stay near a crappy dude that will make her life miserable! I think that is funny because in the beginning she won't listen to you or leave you alone.
