I did Markath's Jarl a favor, he allowed me to purchase a home and yet I can't. Is there something else I need to do?

As a 1 hand/shield user with heavy armor I don't sneak at all haha.
I'm saving that for my next play through when I roll a thief most likely.
You aren't getting it. The enchants you learn don't "remember" their original strength--they're just different effect types that you learn. Even if you had not already learned the enchantment, learning it from the 25% item would not improve the enchantments you create. The strength of enchantments you create is determined solely by your enchant skill and perks.
In other words, you have not missed any opportunities--the enchant you've learned is the best version you can possibly get.
I know you know this, but just to be clear to him, it's also the strength of the filled Soul Gem when he actually does enchant. Petty < Lesser < Common < Greater < Grand.

I used to sneak and 30x backstab fools but I don't need to anymore, I can easily dual wield through any situation now

I'm considering switching to dual wielding and ditching the shield.

I'm at level 48 or so and have only just realised the importance of enchanting, I really wish I had put points into it sooner 'cos now it's taking me days just to get a single level up.

I'm playing stealth/heavy armor/one blade
should I focus on magic or fight or stealth or can I still go this way on this mix of stealth and fighting? I'm level 12 btw.

Hilarious. What's the real story behind it though?

Stupid evangelical christians playing pretend.
Had a weird thing today(?), I went back to a dragon shout rune location (or whatever it is called...) and I got another shout from it, while I've been there I think (I think I got the 2 word version this time).
I'm playing a stealthy archer as well. Loving it. Killing everything from a dark, far spot is really satisfying.

I think Tullius is honoring that age-old Imperial tradition of doing Skooma when in command.
This is the first time Tullius reminds me of Caius Cosades, but now I can't unsee.
ehh I can't ever not think of Tullius as Colonel Tigh.
Also, hearing him in this game is making me want to re-watch BSG.

Why heavy armor? light armor is much better for stealth, and you can get your armor rating high enough to make the armor difference. You can mix it up if you want, but if you want to go heavy armor and melee forget about focusing on stealth and just bash skulls.
I've been messing with the console again :3

Don't they scale?
(most) Enemy stats and levels don't scale. You may encounter more higher level enemies when you are at a higher level though.

Interesting!
god damn it, all the sudden I've encountered bugs when I had none before. Got that stupid One Handed level bug where my skill number turned red and went down to 20. Now all the sudden the game thinks I am weighed down and I'm moving slow even though I'm under my carry limit. No spells or diseases or negative active effects or anything.
grrrrrr

Supposed to be fixed in next week's patch.

Doesnt the second sentence of this post contradict the first?
I do overall love this game, but I cannot believe how unbelievably dull, simplistic and boring the actual sword play is. Is it really just a one button combat game? There's really no evade, roll, counter etc?
Going through a dungeon last night I almost fell asleep just hacking away at repetitive goons who offered little challenge and to whom I could do very little besides slash repeatedly with the sword. I mean, people complain about QTE's, but Skyrims sword combat almost is a giant one. The hit detection, reactive animations and general feedback is so poor it might as well just be a press A to do next hit type combat. Since its pretty hard to target specific areas of enemies with precision (not sure if that even makes a difference). Just becomes a messy hackathon.
Only thing that destroys an otherwise overall relatively successful game.

Something wierd is happenning in my game too. They don't fly backwards but when they are at half the health they all seem to have a bad landing (like in the gameplay trailer). They crash into the ground and then get up to continue fighting.
It happened three times in a row already and I've never seen that in 80 hours of gameplay.
thanks for the tip! I've expended the cache of over 300 soul gems I've gathered and its bought me from level 25 to 91 the thing is the last 70 gems were used to go from 85 to 91. This is clearly on an extreme logarithmic curve. Im not sure how to get to enchanting 100 right now... I've looked for trainers but haven't found one at master level yet. My next bet is to buy up 150 petty gems and go dungeon diving but just buying them will take hours. If anyone has better ideas that aren't exploits, I'd be really greatful.

Is it possible to cancel steam downloads? I want to play Skyrim again but I've heard people have had problems with the PC patch so I don't want to download it. It's paused at 50%.

It's kind of sad that Oscura won't be able to put out a mod for this. I wonder who is going to step up and take away the leveling bullshit and re-add challenge post level 30.

The guards in Markath are bugged for me. They stop me everytime I pass one but if I back out of the conversation, they leave me alone. This occured after I did a certain quest in the city involving
My follower once tried to kill me and my horse (my frosty as well) after a wolf attack. He fought us pretty good, but then went encountered some bear and he straightened himself out. He also didn't enter any dungeons with me for over an hour last night. I still dunno what that was about.
the Forsworn. I kinda sided with them in order to escape prison and they went on a killing spree. I entered the Jarl's place during the combat and I think it messed everything up once I went back outside.

Just ran into my first glitch. Could have been game ending.
Near the start of Geirmund's Hall there is a pillar puzzle and they would not activate/move until I reloaded to a save 10 minutes back and out of the dungeon. What's worse is that in order to get into the cave I need to drop down where I cannot climb back out or fast travel out. Just stuck forever and 35 hours in, disk returned to Gamestop if not cracked in half first.

Wanted to mention that my 360 copy has basically become unplayable. I'm level 20, doing a late, late quest for the Thieves Guild in which
. The game has completely slowed to a lurch, when I kill enemies, in this zone, it regularly freezes for 3 - 4 seconds... while my controller goes nuts. Even just walking around is choppy. There's a segment that is completely unplayable right now and I can't get through it because the game chugs so much.
I'm at 40 hours. Installed, 360. Not sure what to do at this point, because I'm too far into this quest to go back. My roommate played this quest on his 360 like 2 hours ago and he said it was nothing like mine. I have a lot more saves (100+) and have collected a lot more loot and stuff than him.

No, he means, that generally, a skeever will still be a skeever when the player is level 5 or level 25. But, at level 25 you're more likely to run into like, "irradiated skeever" or whatever the Skyrim equivalent is. Or, Daugrs will more likely be "Restless Daugrs" or whatever the tougher ones are.

I walked out of the White Phial holding the

to my "Miscellaneous" inventory (it had been used once). I kept pressing the button and I added over 100 of them. I can only use one at a time (only one will replenish), but I haven't tried selling the extras yet.

as well as your enchanting skill level and what perks you have in the enchanting tree.
Feel your pain man. I've spent all my playtime today just trying to find ways to max my enchanting level. I'd love to stop at 80 but I need to get to the extra effects perk that requires you get to 100 but going from 80 to 100 is deceptively mundane. I'm convinced they did this to keep one from breaking the game because enchanting is extremely powerful. I'm not sure one can max out their enchanting level even in a single play-through unless they make a concerted effort as I've been doing. It won't come from normal play
I've been racking up black soul gems filled with grand souls for my experiment if I can ever get to 100% enchantment.
I'm trying to create a Tank you see; a tank that will do really mean things to the world of Skyrim. I want to destroy my end-game with bad-assery
