Pushed the war a bit further along, to the
battle to take Windhelm. Very fun sequence, and it shows how Bethesda has gotten better at staging them compared to Oblivion's hilarious finale. The tiered battle moving through the defenses, the objectives like lowering the drawbridge, the destruction and fireballs landing, the number of guys on screen at once...just very well pulled off.
My archery skill hit 100 during the fight, and I just mowed through guys. Must have shot down a good 40 soldiers. Felt good, felt real good.

OMG Thank you so much! Did not know this!
Does anyone know how to clear the companion quests off the log? I've done a billion of them and it's still on there.

About 60 hours between two characters. I ditched my old character completely, and I'm at level 21 with my new one. Archery, restoration, sneak, dabbling in conjuration. But I'm limiting my archery + sneak perks cause the later ones feel cheap. Playing on Expert.What's your play time so far?
Still haven't gone to the Greybeards, and I've only done one quest with one of the guilds.
It can only be forged in the pits of Mt. DOOM!
In all seriousness, I am at lvl 41 I have been only finding ebony stuff no Daedric stuff yet, will be forging my set.

Finally received my 360 Holiday Bundle and a copy of Skyrim. I gather I should ignore any update prompts at this point in time?

hella bullets that's true
I'm at 47/50 as well. I've NEVER gotten all of the cheesemints from a game, I think I'm gonna try for this one since I'm so close. Probably would have ended up doing all the stuff anyway.
I think you can also make it with this forge thing in the mage college, which doesn't need smithing, but you will need ebony armor as part of the mats.

I was wondering about this, too.
I found a Daedic Warhammer at level 33 but I can't sell it at the moment as it's valued at nearly 4000 and no one in Skyrim has that much cash
Get one to +10 and combine with the soul of Artorias.

I'd like to know this, too.
If you're on pc there's console commands for this:
Press ~ to open the console.
Type
player.setav <skill> <amount> - Sets skill directly to <amount>. Example: [player.setav marksman 50] sets your archery to 50.
Doesn't get any easier than that
Apparently you can basically give yourself anything you want through console commands:

It's one of the northern towns (the more western one), there's a guy with a museum, speak to him. I'm pretty sure that's the guy.
Yes... yes they are.
It's probably for the Pieces of the Past quest where you get Mehrune Dagon's Razor - a sick looking dagger.
I have a collection of awesome maces, but i prefer to stay out of dual wielding, because changing a healing spell to the other hand whenever the going gets dirty is annoying and slow and it happens too often, when i'm fighting some guy(s) who can handle himself i have to heal myself almost constantly, so i keep a healing spell in one hand and a mace in the other, so i can crush enemies and heal myself quickly.
my fightning style is not very honorable, lot's of archery (killing with a bow is most rewarding imo), astronach summoning and running while healing.
edit: it has worked very well so far, i'm level 25

Damn, the Aldmeri Dominion sure know how to hold a grudge. Sent assassins after me some 40-50 hours after I killed a few of their Thalmor Justicars (In self defense, I swear!)
Yea I ended up ditching the idea of healing and spells because switching is terribly slow, even switching between archery and sword was kind of annoying sometimes since it would take like 2 seconds to do the "oh I was told to switch to a sword, wait for it! Here I'm doing this pulling out the right sword animation even though the left hand weapon is already there magically".
Everything is so slow in this game. Strangely healing with pots are instant and don't need you to pull out the god damn pot in your left hand and drink it.
I've had that problem before patch I think, dragons would fly through mountains and ground. They just don't give a fuck.
Why should they? They are dragons!
If anyone runs into this, there's an unofficial fix here: http://forums.bethsoft.com/index.ph...-gamepadfix/page__view__findpost__p__19561742
I'm so goddamn heavy all the time that i can't carry a loot worth shit anymore, i'm not even carrying anything useless...well...i do have all those potions i don't dare to store away, because you know, you never know when you need a potion for +4% better prices or some other useless shit when you are creeping through a dungeon in the middle of nowhere, right??? also, all those huge stacks of stamina, magica, health potions, goddamn i hardly ever use them, if i dropped all of them somewhere i would probably be 100 lighter.
i'm like that old wizard guy who has a potion for absolutely anything "yes...yes...i think i might have something you could find useful...here"

No, don't download the patch. People are reporting that magic resistances are broken post-patch, and some areas are running less smoothly. Also, certain dragons apparently fly backwards now.
Just run the game off the disc, and you'll have no problems.
So I finally unlocked the 5 perks necessary to master the stuff I wanted with Speech. After selling around 60-70% of all my potions, barely touching jewellery and weapons/armour, I'm already just under 100k gold. So glad I did it. Having the confidence that I'll be able to buy all the houses in the cities and do them all up, feels good man. But yea, the Riverwood Trader is the best I've found so far. Give him 500 gold investment, plus the Level 100 Speech perk (gives everyone an extra 1k) and he starts with around 12k each time you do a re-load (just after killing him). So much easier to sell stuff now, phew.

WTF? Anyone else been attacked by invisible animals? I was mauled by an invisible bear. The only thing I could distinguish it by was its shadow.
Did Bethesda turn on Black World Tendency?

I've been attacked by an invisible dragon before. I could hear it so I knew it was around, but that was some shit, let me tell you.

So...are Speech perks really worth the points over the alternatives? I'm level 43 right now and I'm interested in well over a dozen other perks.

If you want to have good prices on your goods - yeah. Although even with Investor perk the amount of money they have is small, I think 3K was max I saw. Sure, you can wait 25 times to sell everything, but that's kinda defeats the purpose.

Hmmm I did not think of it that way... atleast then I could use the most powerful spells rather than the bolt versions...

Had a very cool moment the other day. I was doing the College of Winterhold quests and reached the part when some serious shit was going down. I was told to quickly leave the main hall to check up on someone, and was greeted with an ancient dragon waiting for me. Not part of the story or anything, he just randomly appeared to start a fight even though everything is already going nuts in the current quest. He chose the wrong time though, this particular scene had all the teachers in the college in it so he picked a fight with me, and a large team of high level mages. Poor guy didn't stand a chance.
The timing was so perfect, it almost felt like this giant scripted event.
