Lovers stone is neat
one major quest after that and you've got a bunch to do afterwards to restore the guild. doing that also gives you more fences and merchants, new armor, etc. that new armor might unbreak your fence.
It wouldn't work out well for you as a melee character. Wards get dramatically more expensive to cast and while they do block magic attacks, they offer no passive armor and otherwise have no utility. You have enough perks that investing into Block would be a better idea even if you had to take them from Restoration. The actual healing spells in Restoration by comparison are much easier on the magicka pool and will allow you to take more health and stamina on level gains. Plus you can get some very powerful utility moves via the Block perk tree that will be more useful to a melee-oriented character.
Went through the Stony Creek Cave and found an unmarked dungeon in the far back named Kagrenzel. The path appears unreachable at first but when you look at your map it clearly highlights something behind. After a few well placed jumps on the left side up to it, I made it through.
It's pretty strange but unique in the sense that it looks to be one long path heading down to a large underground cavern with massive waterfalls pouring in.
Also fought my first Ice Dragon and pretty much used all my Wabberjack charges to mostly kill it. It caught me alone on the road and I clearly wasn't able to fight it off (Master difficulty) so I ran inside a nearby cottage near a mill.
I waited an hour and then went back out and sure enough, it was kind of gone. I couldn't see it but I could swear that I could hear it's roaring but I finally just wrote it off as the wind. Not more than 50 feet of travel and sure enough, he comes back around the mountain and I'm basically spending the next 20 minutes fighting it all over this little logging mill with no potions.
I saw a second one later near Stony Creek Cave but since I ran to the nearby legion encampment, it just swooped around and then ran away.

The Lord and the Atronach stones are fucking ace.
Yeah, I rock the Lord stone as a Breton.

Is it actually useful though? Otherwise, I'll keep my precious money for other stuff. I just needed a place to stash 1000 pounds of crap.

It's a Bethesda game, dude.
Yeah you're probably right lol. I kinda just wanted to make a warrior priest type of character. Was thinking of enchanting my armour to get the restoration cost down, plus have powers against undead but it probably might not work out well.
Cast Soul Trap spells, then kill the animal/person (Black Souls) within 60 seconds. If you haven't been putting anything in magic, find a weapon with a soul trap enchantment. You'll know when you caught a soul.

I know, but did they recycle the music or just use the same composer?
I couldn't go without it. Vendors hold so little money that I end up needing a place to put all the stuff they cant afford to buy. With all the potential potions I have to make, all the dragon bones and amulets and gems and armor and weapons, I'm sure I've got about 20,000 gold sitting around in my house.
And besides it being useful, it just feels good to have a 'home'. Seriously, after a few quests adventuring out in the world, its nice having a place to go to where you just feel comfortable and can relax and organize your belongings.

Fallout... really? I got an assassins creed vibe in one city though.

Different composers, kind of surprised you feel this way. It doesn't sound like Fallout at all to me, but it does sound an awful lot like the rest of Soule's work from Morrowind on. Bunch of mixed tunes as well. Awesome shit.
Oh, I see. Well it's something you could definitely try, since it still won't take a lot of perk investment. At worst I guess you would wind up making some fortify Restoration gear that you maybe drop later. I just don't know if you'll find the trade-off of benefit against undead worth losing the Block tree stuff which works against quite a lot of stuff.

To be fair the "type" of music used in Elder Scrolls games always sound to same to me. It has a very specific medieval orchestra vibe.
basically 50 armor rating, right?
this guy knows what's up

whaaat?
Heavy Dragon isn't the best Armor, though it's easier to get the materials for than Daedric. Doesn't help that both Dragon options don't look that great either. Actually, I don't like the way most the Light Armor looks as well so my Archer pimps street clothes; Defense be damned!
I haven't seen Dragon or Daedric (in my 50s on two characters) but Ebony and Glass are definitely out in the wild. Either as equipment, Chest rewards, or literally just lying around.

Man, I really wish I'd known that mass-forging Iron Daggers was the best way to raise Smithing and Enchanting back when I made a hundred of those things a few days ago. At first I was just going for Smithing because I wanted me some Dragon armour, but now I feel like branching out into Magic and I'm falling right down the Enchanting hole. I've got the Black Star, I enchanted myself a Soul Trapping sword, but I wish there was a faster way of harvesting souls. I've just been loading up on Soul Gems (by stealing them from merchants) and venturing out into the wilderness to kill things, but the Black Star only holds one human soul and killing one dude and then fast traveling to an Arcane Enchanter to enchant a weapon won't get me anywhere fast. I'm thinking about using the console to get a bunch of duplicate Black Stars.
Buy them. Checking the vendors of 3 cities, I can get 10-ish pre-filled Petty to Common per loading cycle (and that's not even buying out every Mage vendor in Winterhold, just the one in the city proper) and I have a ton of Daggers to sell anyway so it lets me refresh vendor gold supplies. Cost isn't a big deal since filled Petty - Common are all like 60-300 a pop and good Enchants on the Daggers can get you 300-1000+
With all the bonuses in the end light armor will cap out close to the max defense.

As far as I can tell, higher level gems/souls give more power to your enchantments. And the point of trapping souls is so that you can enchant in the first place.

So between this and the nearly identical perk trees, there's little practical difference between heavy and light armor late game. You are basically choosing either avoided damage and stamina regen or reflected damage and less stagger. It's poor design when light armor protects as well as heavy and when there is no difference in weight or movement speed between the two.
so without a soul it just does nothing? i guess i never noticed since i always had so many filled ones

Man the house in Whiterun sucks, it's so tiny. I've got a huge pile of Dragon Bones and Scales in the Alchemy room, my table is full of spare weapons, my bed is full of spare armor, now I've got nowhere to put all the loot I've been finding.
Gonna need to make Solitude my hometown very soon, hope the house is worth that 25K...
EDIT: I've still got 4 of the main cities that I haven't even visited, maybe I should check those out first...

I'll be excited when I can finally fit my entire library of books in a house via mods.
Until then Ill wait to sit back by the fire in my Markarth home and read.

Well for arrows you actually have to get shot with more arrows. Then they should disappear. For the sickle,er, try the same thing?
Been there, it's my favorite city so far thanks to the
Thieves Guild
I need a house that's Manor sized so I can throw loot everywhere and not have to worry about using dressers/chests.
