So, what's that exploit for smithing? I want to smith Daedric weapons and armor. 
Can anyone explain how the magic effects on weapons affect damage?
For example. lets say I have
A: 20 dmg +5 ice dmg
B: 16 dmg + 10 shock dmg
Is this simple math of A=25 and B=26?
I guess what I mean is...Is the damage sealt to enemies exactly what the weapons description says it is, or do stats affect them in ways that aren't shown? I know the weapon dmg and armor show scaled values as stats increase, but just want to make sure I know what I am doing dmg wise.
Not considering enemy resist or speed of weapon (axe vs sword).
Just do what above post says. Go to blacksmith buy all their leather, strips, iron, etc. and smith a bunch of low level items. Sell them back to blacksmith. Repeat whenever your near a blacksmith again or have a bunch of hides, ore, etc. I went from 15 to 40 in one trip, cost about 500 gold.

Well it seems I've encountered a BUG and I can't start the mage college questline.
I talked to the woman who was supposed to show me around the grounds and in the middle of the conversation a dragon came out of nowhere and started to attack me. I had to exit out of the conversation b/c I was taking damage. The woman started to fight the dragon too. After the fight was over I went back to talk to her but she keeps telling me "lets talk after I'm finished showing you the grounds". Problem is, she isn't showing me anything. She is just walking the normal route that her AI is programmed to do. I've followed her for 2 complete loops already. I've tried exiting the area and sleeping/waiting to see if it resets but it doesn't.
Also, I finished the main quest. The story telling is much better in this on than in Oblivion but I still can't stand the world of Skyrim. I much prefered Cyrodil. Everything in this game seems to be designed to make it as difficult as possible to get from one point to another. There are freaking mountains everywhere and I'm pretty sick of the snow at this point. Hopefully they will release mods on PC that change the weather.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
I've got that issue too somtimes but I can only save it by restarting the gameHawkian said:Ah man, still getting these bizarre random fps drops where I have to alt-tab or reload my save. Don't get it

Playing as a thief, but I might start going warrior. I absolutely suck at anything outside of stealth combat (opening up with a sneak arrow shot), wielding two daggers just doesn't seem to cut it. Also, probably need to get a shield, when multiple enemies come to town I get squashed.

I loved oblivion but never finished it due to clunky controls and what felt like cheating AI leveling, fallout 3 however was amazing for me, is skyrim another leap forward outside of it's nice visuals?
videos show that the 3rd person camera is better and actually usable this time around.

A little slow to respond (regarding Ansilvund), but thank you! I thought I read the books, but I must have skipped over one thinking it was already in my inventory! Woops...Ha.

So some guy volunteered to go to the elder tree (forgot actual name) on the way there a dragon attacks and kills him, now I am wanted in whiterun for his death wtf lol Not my fault he got burnt.
Bit of advice needed guys.
Im playing a level ten warrior. Mostly sneak attack with bow and then sword and shield combat. Rarely use magic. Struggle in combat against groups of enemies when one or more is magic attacking me so I want to improve some skills that would allow me to be more resistant to magic. Is there any youd recommend or should I just exploit the crafting thing and the ability to make better armour?

I've made a video of how to deal with sabre cats on expert or master difficulty:

I bought a knock off one for £6.50 on ebay, works flawless and uses the official drivers too.Dries said:

This game has taken me over...it has taken everyone I know over. I thought my playtime of 18 hours in one weekend was terrible, until I looked at my friends on steam and their playtime. Even today at work my coworkers who game are telling me the same thing. Bethesda has found a way to market crack and make it legal to sell
On that note I need to finish work so I can leave and play
