Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
"A Night to Remember" can start in at least Windhelm, Whiterun, Markarth, Riften and Solitude and possibly the other holds. It's random post level 15.

Yeah, it's one of the town's quest to figure out wtf happened.
Holy fuck. I cannot stop laughing.
I went inside with Lydia into Tolvald's Cave. We killed the Snow Bear near the entrance then I see a bandit come up that was reanimated by Lydia
I forgot that I had a carry a few things from a previous dungeon haul, she was duel-wielding the Staff of Zombies (reanimated weak corpses) and my Pickaxe of Doom (I enchanted it with soul trap so I could level up my skill).
So, Lydia's reanimated zombie bandit just slowly walks up to the wall. I'm thinking, what the fuck is she doing? Then she starts mining and starts hitting the pickaxe against the ore vein on the wall. All while doing this she's mumbling 'release me...' and 'uhhhhhhhhhhh.'
Fucking hilarious.

Aw man I need to find a good wiki for this game now. I'm sick of wearing the same apprentice robes of destruction (no armor sucks) that I've had for like 30 hours now but as a sneaky archer/mage I'm limited to light armor. Which would be cool, I actually found some glass armor, but the only enchants I have for it are waaaaay less potent than what I have on the robes. I need that killer 75% mana regen!
Any suggestions on light armor for mages? Do I ever get a better destro +regen mana enchant than the really puny one I have now? I'm liking the Boots and gloves of the Old Gods I'm wearing, they work perfectly with my character. Shame I found a much better circlet than the helm of hte Old Gods, the weird animal-head/sticks look actually looked super cool on my somewhat gothy female mage. She looked like she was a model doing a punk/tribal mashup photoshoot.

Playing on PS3. Farting around with the character creator. I had deleted the little autosave it made before chargen and had to sit through the little wagon ride again. Little did I know that it would make another pre-chargen autosave, this time overriding my 60+ hour save for whatever reason. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about that - at 12MB it was virtually unplayable, anyway, but that's 60 hours of effort wasted for no apparent reason. Why did this happen? Did the pre-chargen autosave override my previous one?
PS3 players: DO NOT DELETE YOUR ORIGINAL PRE-CHARGEN AUTOSAVE! IF YOU DO AND START OVER FROM SCRATCH, IT WILL DELETE ONE OF YOUR SAVE FILES!

Mana regen sucks, just go for reduce-cost enchants and grab the Atronach stone.
This cave is deceptively difficult. It's larger than you'd expect it to be.
Yeah. I thought I was fighting Snow Bears and shit.
Now I found some Dwemer ruins and a bunch of Falmer are killing me.
Well, you don't find better Enchants. You just get the one that gives better results based off your Skills, Perks, and Gem quality. Also, the School + Magicka Regen Enchant that you can make is awful so you're basically stuck with Robes if you absolutely MUST have -Casting cost + Magicka Regen on your chest.
I'd honestly just go with -Casting cost straight up rather than Regen. Even if you manage to use all the schools all the time, you're still better off with free Destruction (+ another school when you're at 100 Enchanting) than having better Regen.
As for Uniques to replace it, the only one I can really think of off the top of my head is the final reward from the Mage College that grant -All Schools Casting cost and a good amount of Regen. I think it looks terrible, though :/ Thankfully, there are mods for it to at least change the color.

Goddammit. Steam just auto downloads it :/
I feel for you.. 60 hours, is still 60 hours, unplayable after 30mins or not.
I deleted my auto-saves a while back. I backup my game save after every session (or when I have to back out to the xmb because the game is running like crap).
Lies, Mana regen is fine (in dual enchants) with your primary focus being cost reduction in your primary school of magic. A good enchanted ring and necklace go a long way since you never find them out in the wild.
You can wear Circlets still with those Robes. I think Masks as well.
Magicka Regen (alone) is fine, though I'm hard pressed to find a good use for it once you have two schools made free. The -Casting Cost + Magicka Regen Enchant itself, however, is pretty awful though. What is it, -15%/+10% at it's best? Not really worth it.

Anyone else dislike the regenerating health? I find it makes food completely useless.

I didn't get any patch when I played it today.

LOL yeah... this happened to me on my way to Rifkin or whatever the name of that town is.
The guy chasing him wasn't far behind, asked me if he gave me anything, I lied and said no.
After a couple minutes I backtracked and found the guy being chased dead with arrows in him. It was cool. Didn't find the guy chasing him, though.
Another strange random encounter was a farmer who was taking his cow to a giant encampment. I followed those slow asses for what was probably about 35 minutes. Guy said he didn't need my help but I followed him anyway.
When we got to the encampment it was nighttime and I hung back a little bit and watched. He left the cow walked to the edge of what looked like a little green hotsprings, motioned with his hands (couldn't hear anything but the wind and music), and left the camp. Nothing happened. He just left his cow there.
When I went to talk to him all he said was "I'm headed to de inn"... so I followed him to Whiterun, where he just disappeared after going through the main gate. Never found him again.
Days later I'm running through the Whiterun area again and I see a giant walking around with the a painted cow that looked just like the farmers. No idea if it was the same one or not, but I thought it was neat. :}
Patch started sending out through steam about an hour ago.
Agreed, although I am curious to see if I can actually gain mana from my enchants at this point for using a certain school of magic.
I think a mix of mana/health and mana regen on top of the innate mana regen perk in the restoration tree are ideal for mages. Towards late game you will need health to survive some encounters and extra mana always helps in expensive one time use spells (buffs, summons, etc.)
This is why I don't use auto saves as my main saves. I actually cycle around 4 manual saves, the autosaves are mostly just check points for me if I didn't save when entering a dungeon and got waxed by some auto kill nonsense.

Yeah, here's hoping this particular issue is patched. I'd be a lot more angry if that particular character had a future outside of getting progressively more buggy until he's unplayable. As it is, perhaps the new character I make won't hit the 5MB mark until the fix is released.
Gosh, it's like waiting for Skyrim's release all over again! =D We PS3 players are blessed to get two periods of intense anticipation - one for the game, and one for the patch that makes it playable.
I should be more specific. I was playing from a hard save. It just so happens that the pre-chargen autosave is also a hard save (an auto-hardsave, if you will). Some bug caused it to delete my only hardsave without my permission. Potentially catastrophic if you've put a lot of effort into a character.

Ugh, my Thieves Guild quest is bugged. This isn't really a spoiler, but if you consider anything to do with the Thieves Guild a spoiler, well then don't read beyond this point.
Anyway, when asked to Shadow Gulum-Ei, it tells me to go right outside of Solitude by the Harbor, but when I go out there my quest marker tells me to go back into Solitude! I can't seem to find Gulum-Ei anywhere. Anyone know where he may be?

As I understand, it's a DRM patch which was required because it's Steamworks - Didn't comply fully with Valve's Steamwork ruleset.

Can you do anything with mammoth tusks? I'm assuming you can grind them down somehow, but how?
All the guys that went with me to the tomb never showed up back at the house, I found the chick back in the tomb but the others are MIA. Hasn't been long enough for them to respawn back home though so I dunno. I expect that they just went into a downed mode in combat and revived later and walked back.
Once I realized I could make my spells free/almost free I put every point into health; running around with 300 base mana and having no problems at all. Only thing I use magicka for are heal spells. Destruction is free and armor/paralyze cost like 13 mana to cast.
Then again I completely switched from primarily spell/shield to axe/shield just because I could. Love that about the game.

I'm with you on this one. =(
I was really hoping that food would be similar to how WoW does it--provide some long term buffs that reward you for eating every day.
Theres a quest involving one. Thats all I know of.
Vegetable Soup is the most broken item in the game if you ask me. Go shield block, get power bash, eat vegetable soup, win.

Would it be at all feasible to roll a Druid-esque character? I'm thinking a Wood Elf for starters. Are Calm (animal) spells still in the game?
I picked up that flute. Haven't found who it belongs to yet, but I figured I was boned.

Man, just looked this up at UESP and ... ya.
"If you take Vegetable soup or any food item that regenerates stamina over 720 seconds you can shield bash or power bash an unlimited amount of times, resulting in your target being stun locked and unable to attack you. This will slowly kill them and level your Block very quickly without you taking any damage. If you're looking to level Block quickly, do not take the Deadly Bash perk, as even on Master Difficulty you will quickly kill bosses spammed with Shield Bash."
Lame.
I definitely looted his corpse. Obviously it's a bug, but it was pretty mind blowing when I found him sleeping in Jorrvaskr.

Does armor affect damage from spells? Or do I need enchantments and Magic Resist from Alteration to stop magic from pooping on my head?

Too late, damnit. Any word on a solution yet?
After I used a shout in a town a soldier came up to me and made very clear that I should never do that again.
