This game is something else.
I've only found a couple of dragon words, and just happened to be wandering around in the northwest and came across this place called Dead Man's Respite. Before going in, I decided I should fast travel back to Whiterun and sell some stuff. Before that, I saw this table outside the dungeon with a few random items on it, and decided to send them flying by using the basic dragon shout (unrelenting force I think). That was fun. Off to Whiterun.
The instant I get there a courier delivers a message from "a friend" with the contents:
"You caused a bit of a stir in Dead Man's Respite when you demonstrated the power of your Thu'um. Not everyone is anxious for the return of the dragonborn."
It then advised me to visit a particular new place on my map for something that only the dragonborn can unlock.

Well, that would be why they have those merchant-related perks that you hate. :>
The only reason I find this incongruous doesn't have nearly as much to do with the gold totals as it does the items the merchants have on-hand.
It's the scaling, again.
If merchants when you're at a higher level have crazy high-level crafting items and such, I would agree that their gold totals should reflect that. But they're still these middling vendors who magically happen upon this expensive stuff once you reach the appropriate level.
Of course, I wouldn't fix that problem by giving them more appropriate gold totals relative to their stash, but rather removing the scaling altogether. I don't think there's a gold issue. Once you're later in the game you should have visited various towns and cities and know where the primo vendors are (like the fence previously mentioned who has a balance of 4k). Dangerous Dave related earlier how he had plenty of money relatively early in the game:

Well goddamn.
Was a little less than halfway up the steps to High Hrothgar when I met up with an ice troll and was promptly one-hitted. I'm level 9 with fairly decent gear but it wasn't even a fight.
Anyone else run into this asshole this early in the game?

Nope, you can just accumulate perks as you go, and spend them whenever you want. The only thing you will be forced to do is pick a magicka, health or stamina upgrade if you go into the skills menu. If you have multiple levels to take care of, you'll be forced to pick all of those at once, but you can store perks for as long as you want.
There's a small tactical advantage you can use by not leveling up intentionally; when you level up and upgrade stats, all three of your primary stats are refilled. So you can engage in combat, get low on magicka/health then intentionally level up and refill on command. Since you are forced to choose all earned stat upgrades at once you can only do this once per level.

Just had the best skyrim jank I've encountered thus far.
So at the Riverun trader place, I was given the Golden Claw mission. I then proceeded to do the pot trick by putting stuff on people's heads and then robbing the place, right. This was like my first day in Skyrim and all. So I got caught stealing and shit went bad retty fast - I had to kill this dude's wife and put his ass down a couple times and run away.
So anyhow, I eventually retrieve the Golden Claw and it's been a couple days now, so I go to give it back to the guy. He's happy to see me! "Hey there, got good news for me?" I give him the claw. "Oh, thank you, thank you!....if only my wife was here to see this." First LOL.
Then he turns around. Looks down on the ground. There is wife, where I left her. Face down on her knees in a basket of trader shit. He screams "OH GREAT HEAVEN'S NO, HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN??"
And then he just turns back around like nothing happened. Mega mother fucking LOL right here.
After that, I put a pot on his head, grabbed the Golden Claw I was compensated for off his counter top and promptly left like a boss.
Coincidentally, I received a message from a courier right after this, I think from the Dark Brotherhood? It was just a black hand that was captioned "We know.", lol. It was probably because the dude JUST realized his wife was dead, lololo. I <3 this game.

lol this is ridiculous, and funny.
edit: do you get anything for being a legit good guy? Or are you basically punished for not stealing everything by ending up with less stuff?

Ok, I bought this today first time I've properly attempted an elder scrolls game. After a few hours and learning my first dragonword, I'm level 5. I'm curious to you ever get like your own place to store food, gear etc? Or do I have to keep upgrading my stamina to hold more things?
I'm an archer/stealth/thief elf chick. Nothing beats crouching up behind a rock, firing that arrow to some unsuspecting dude and watching over 60% of their health just diminish.

I also talked to that Aventius kid who was trying to summon the Dark Brotherhood. He wanted to kill the orphanage runner, which I had already done when I first saw her because, duh. He was so happy. "I knew the Dark Brotherhood was good, but not THIS GOOD! You killed her before I even asked you!" I make kids happy. <3
Also, I'm fairly certain I'm gonna go with the Imperials. I went to Windhelm and this dude Ulfric did not convince me of shit with his speech. All of the rebel towns I've been to are in despair - they're corrupt, even poorly built, the people are mostly miserable. And now you wanna tell me you wanna
? Where my big homies the companions stomp around? Where my man the Jarl made me a Thane? Naw, naw. Fuck outta here. I'm not crazy about speeding through the main quest, but ya'll racist mofos are gonna get a taste of my greatsword when that push comes to shove. Get fucked, buddy.

Mod manager was released today for skyrim.
Managing and installing mods is so easy, already got like 6 running.
Funny thing is the mod manager updated itself 3 times today.

Oh man, I loved hearing Stephen Russell voice some characters down in the Thieves' Guild, talking about thieving. One guy almost sounded like Garrett. It felt so right. Roll on Thief 4.

I love how Ivarstead is kind of a forgotten city, the story being all the people moved to Riften. The game acknowledges this "forgotten city" status it by not even having an option for the carriage travel there, so neat. Little things.
Also, Mercurio is fucking nuts. On my way to Ivarstead, we passed some thieve's hideout or something, I couldn't even get in there, so I tried to move on to get to Ivarstead, but the homie Mercurio would NOT let the shit go. Some archers were way up taking potshots at us and he stayed back and fucking roasted them! He gets trapped sometimes and has a harder time following me than Lydia, but he's so fucking awesome. It is great to has this long range dude following me around and alerting me to far away attacks and shit. We took down a dragon together outside the Riften stables - one of the random horses was trying to take down this frost dragon and would've bit it if I didn't get up close with the MF'in skyforged steel. So funny watching this horse try to fuck with this dragon, right up in it's god damn face.

Try doing #3.
I did that and I haven't had a single crash in like 16 hours of gameplay.
Before I did this I was crashing every hour or so.
I also joined the Imperials. Now I occasionally spy Stormcloaks on the road and slaughter them.
A funny thing happened after I won the final battle, control of the town went to the imperials, but apparently there was a city guard from the stormcloaks still straggling around a few days later, so the Imperial guards all ganged up on him and killed him.

But I feel that I should say, even considering the massive problems with the loot/store system and some pretty annoying run-ins with bugs. This is easily GOTY. An amazing experience and I STILL have only barely scratched the surface. My misc missions have had enough variety in their own, but I trust the comments here that at very least, the companions and mage college lines are fantastic.

Yeah, I know what you're talking about. It's a crash, but behaves as if you said quit go to desktop (ie no error popupr or anything).
It seems to happen with large areas textures, most often when a dragon loads or if I fast travel after killing a dragon. I just have gotten in the habit of saving. With my PC, SSD, and Win7 cache it reloads in about 10 seconds so it's not that bad.

What type of armor did you enchant? The gloves and boots I've enchanted had fortify destruction greyed out.
Khezu said:
Marcurio is a Destruction mage and he lives up to that.
He goes around with a fire spell in one hand and lightning in the other. And he just lays people out. If you go around with him you'll habitually see enemies just flying across the screen after being nailed by one of his spells.
Small tip: give him a Necro staff so he can resurrect dead enemies.
Then you'll have a badass Destruction mage buddy who also brings his own pet.Ether_Snake

Guys do I get anything for being a "good guy" and not stealing or killing innocent people? Or should I steal stuff all over the place?
I think I might be a bit screwed.
When I joined the Thieves Guild, I got a new suit of thiefy armor...which I took one look at and sold to Tonilia for some gold. Now I'm supposed to trade in a piece of armor to her for an upgrade, but obviously I don't have it, and told her so. She tells me to shove off, and when I talk to her again, that's all she'll talk about.
So my fence wants me to find the armor I sold her, and won't let me buy/sell. Am I screwed out of any other topic of discussion with her for the rest of the game?
And she's my fence! I can't sell my merch.
