After tod mentioned this in an interview I was so excited to try it out, and dissapointed with the results. I dropped dedric weapons and dragon bone armor all over whiterun and it's still just sitting there! :(


I actually had one npc in solitude ask me to have a piece of leather armor I droped,for himself. I said no, and he replied: "then why did you drop it?"

Did you know that while sneaking, if you shoot an arrow at a wall, the nearby enemies will approach the area that your arrow hit?
Did you know that as a werewolf, you are unable to become a vampire?
Did you know that you can gather all the crops on various farms and sell them to farmers for gold?
Did you know that you can easily increase your smithing skill by making iron daggers, because they are the cheapest to make and everything you make gives you the same amount of experience?
Did you know that Maiq the Liar is back, but so far no pattern as to where to find him has been found?
Did you know that despite dragon armor requiring 100 smithing to make, daedric is actually the strongest type of armor and weapons?
Did you know that the max level is 81, which requires all skills to be at 100, and that this brings your total number of perks to 80?
Did you know that sleeping in a bed gives you 5% extra experience for 8 hours, while sleeping on one that you paid for like at a tavern grants 10% extra?
Did you know that you can't get that bonus if you are a werewolf?
Did you know that if you press the attack button while blocking with a shield you perform a shield bash, and that this is what is affected by the various perks in block?

lol great screenshot! What's its value? funny.


Did you know that after you give the lexicon back to Septimus and he tells you to go collect blood samples, you can shelve that quest and while you're on new quests clearing dungeons etc., each time you kill a member of the race Septimus asked for, a dialog box will automatically come up asking if you want to 1) collect blood, or 2) search the corpse?

Did you know if your PC has a hard time running the game (low frame rate, long load times) if you play in windowed mode you'll get a MASSIVE performance boost (for me from unplayable to perfect).

Didn't bother looking to see if anybody else corrected you or not, but when you're buying upgrades, if you scroll to the bottom before you buy any you have the option to "Clean Mess" for 500 gold.

Did you know you can just pick butterflies, dragonflies and any other small flying insect out of the sky with your activate button? It's easier than shooting them.

Did you know that if you give a companion a weapon or piece of armour that is better than what they are using, they will weapon and armour swap?

"Did you know"... with most of these, no i didn't.

Did you know that there are several versions of some armours? so if you want Steel Armour with/without shoulders, or Fur armour with an actual shirt, just keep searching and killing those bandits.

um... Did you know that i've played for 248 hours and not found out many new things? you do now.

Did you know that you can actually operate those Sawmills you see in some riverside towns? fun just dragging the log into place and watching it get divided on a slow day.

edit:Also fun when the AI worker guy helps out now and then, gives the feeling that you're actually doing something useful when there's an NPC there loading the logs for you.

Did you know that Argonians change genders sometimes?

Did you know that the fortify elemental damage perks for enchanting are calculated twice if you add two enchants to a weapon?

Did you know that at highest alchemy you can make poisons that paralyze for 32 seconds and do 320 damage over 10 seconds and do 64 extra damage on top of that?

Did you know that using a River Betty in a poison for damage health will yield much more damage than other ingredients?

Did you know you can stack "Fortify [Magic School]" enchantments on your equipment that will equal or exceed 100% reduction in Magika cost - reducing casting cost to zero for that school? Did you know you can do this with up to two schools of magic with the highest level Enchanting perk?
