To turn off steam and steam updates :sadvaultboy:

I'd suggest only looting what you can immediately use... this is a way to limit your cash flow and it forces you to do the odd job-quests.

I have no luck with this.

it only works on certain torches and never when I remember to try it.

I power leveled smithing, but am looking forward to enchanting all my stuff with cool enchants. So dungeon crawling for those enchants will be awsome. Not to mention the duel enchant thing at 100. Still loads to do if you want to make a powerhouse char. I plan on killing everyone in the world when I get all the shouts. Screw the quests . All Imperials will DIE!. They are allready sending bands of 3-4 after me now. haha.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but on the PC quick keys 1-8 work.

Just hit the number key after the quick menu is up and you have the selector over the desired spell/item

unlike oblivion specializing in one school of magic does not turn out well. Had to abandon that character and now that I have spell caster that has time invested in all schools it is much easier and really more satisfying.

mammoths and giants are ungrateful pricks. I save them from a dragon and they attack me when I go to get my dragon soul.

Aye. For some reason, I was filling my character's pockets. I should also probably drop lockpicking.

I wish I knew sooner that I'd never touch a two-handed weapon again after getting my first cool sword and shield, and that I wouldn't ever use a mace again after I got all my gear back. Two perks wasted, but you live with your mistakes.

That I should not have perked into "Deflect Arrows"....

You know you can remap keys on PC right:
esc->control->remap

You can favorite right, but i haven t found how to hotswap on keyboard mouse compo...

Your KIDDING !!!! NO HOTKEYS is my biggest grip with Skyrim!!! I even sought a manual in the files but there was none !!!!
Nor have them put them in the modify control keys......

GREAT WORK BETHESDA!!!! AWESOME !!!! ironic of course.
To give his dev a hard work and not venting results anywhere.

That to do a front roll when one has the perk, press the ALT-KEY.

Not sure, but try holding the activate button as you would to normally pick up an item ... if you pick up the torch and it goes out, try dropping it by pressing the activate button again.

Re:

Is this separate from the favorites menu? That would be awesome.

What types of jobs are you talking about?

Sorry, can someone just clarify exactly what this means? Do you mean doing quests for the merchants gives them more gold to trade with permanently?

Thanks.

Not sure if its a spoiler but i'll put it in one anyway

This. Unless of course you want zero challenge.

I wish i knew what training was good for; training the skills you'd never use otherwise! 5 extra levels of speech per level may not be terribly useful, but it sure helps me feel good about myself ^_^

Also, set.playerlevel . "oops, leveled up because of speech....set.playerlevel 29." ha! take that, leveled mobs!

Not trying to fasttravel in helgen right at the start, teleporting outside the city with hands backbound and gates closed while the action is in the city :/ ^^ Also i wish i knew better then to waste 1000g on a horse.

Fus Ro Dah + Cliffside = Win the fight.

Great thread

- Fast travelling will cause dragons to attack. I did not fast travel for the first 25 levels and saw only 5 random dragons, since recently I started to fast travel back and forth just to sell loot and pretty much once out of two fast travels a dragon attacks. Probably this is scripted in a away as people who fast travel to everywhere will not encounter any random dragons in the wild, that's why dragons will attack after fast travelling somewhere as you will need to encounter dragons somehow.

- Try to walk everywhere and not use fast travel you will encounter so many more random quests and events. Yesterday I saw the Stendor Prosecuters fight a Ancient vampire, man that vampire was strong, cut me down in matter of seconds. I respawn at my latest safe point not far from there. I walk the same route and at the same point I get another random event, this time it is 3 Thalmor Justicars that wanted me dead, their wizard was really strong they killed me 4 times so I scaled down my difficulty back to Adept from Master. With other words to really enjoy this game travel/explore and you will see the many great random events that are in this game.

- For those who are wondering how the 2 extra quick keys work on the consoles: Go to favorites --> Hold left on the spell you want to save (it should say one), go to another spell or pieceo f equipment and hold right (it shoudl say 2 now). By pressing left now for example you can switch from shield to dual wield without having to pass the games while pressing right can be changing to your bow and back.

- to discover the purpose of an ingredient you can eat it to discover its first effect ( I looted a human heart yesterday from a assasin and yes I ate it)

- Don't like horses? but prefer to run faster but don't have much stamina? Get the Restoration perk healing you also recharges your stamina. I play a paladin and sprint around with fast heal in the right hand and shield in the left. I do not run out of stamina or Magicka and can keep sprinting.

- Concerning the jobs that you can do at the towns. Besides cutting wood which you can sell back to the owner of the mill for a good price you can also help with farming the crops and wheat and sell them back to the farmers. Kind of fun when you imagine living in Riverwood for example. Besides that Probably working in the mines of Dawnstar could be benificial for the economy as that is a mining town and the mines are in the town.

Yeah Fus Ro Dah is really powerfull, it does not even have to be a cliffside. If you can fire the enemy downhil they usually die (even it if its not steep at all).

I love this shout btw, it's a great siege tool when attacking a fort and you get bombarded by archers up high, Fus Ro DAh them off the wall and you win. Actually being Dragonborn makes it really cool in this game as you are something special. I have to laugh sometimes, I had this Draugr Lord outside of a temple running at me and he shouted FUS at me which made me stagger ab it. and I returned fire at him and FUS RO DAH him of the mountain. That makes you feel really powerful!

you dont have to kill the dragon to get its soul. i accidently aggroed a couple mammoths on my second ever dragon fight (you cant fight mammoths at taht level!) and they killed the dragon...i got his soul anyways (i was about 50 yards away)

Thanks all for the replies on the dragon souls.

Found them, now I need some walls/words.
