So I can't hope but notice that there are only two days of January left -_-

It was pushed back into February because of the upcoming patch.

Finished the Dark Brotherhood quest-line. Definitely the best in the game.

FLYING Bears with Skyrim Iron Helmets!

Two videos I thought I'd share with you:

Well there's your problem, you gotta impale them on your Curved. Swords.

These videos have reminded me how awesome Skyrim can be.

It's not a video, it's a category.

How are you guys managing weight?
I've just forged dwarven armor, and i'm constantly within 10-30u (whatever :S units it be!) of my limit.

Should i just go and sell all everything except for hp/mp/sta restores and a basic set of melee/ranged weapons until i can get my own house set up somewhere?

Skyrim epic rap. It's pretty awesome.

Oh man, until you have your own house this is difficult.

Potions and food are two of the biggest offenders. It's really easy to stockpile them, because you figure you'll need them later. Which you might, in some cases, but there's no sense carrying around thirty pounds of cabbage and ten pounds of resist potions. Sell/store anything you don't think you'll need soon, and keep an eye on the weight:usefulness ratio, so you know what to sell/use first.

Otherwise, just take inventory, find out what's weighing you down. You might be surprised to find you've got 40 pounds of books or twenty pounds in fine dining ware, but once you know you can take it from there. Like I said, until you've got your own home this can involve very difficult decisions (though you can find temporary stashing places in the meantime), but it's the only way to be able to actually, you know, move around.

 Food is mostly pointless outside of specialty runs and some soups that allow you to power attack forever.

 But yeah, potions will weigh you down like a liquid anchor. I would really love a UI mod that showed your weight distribution.

Getting the perks that negate armour weight is pretty helpful too, more or less essential if you plan on using heavy armour. And the pickpocket skill that gives an additional 100 carry capacity.

[Duke 2.0]

 Choosing Stamina on level up also increases your carry weight by 10 I think. And +Carry Weight is a pretty valuable enchantment for leveling that skill and is very handy to boot.

Also the steed stone gives another +100 carry capacity. With Steed + pickpocket skill you can carry a LOT.

I just sell all potions, I am way too lazy to use them anyway. For me, even on the second to hardest setting, the game is just so easy I can usually steamroll pretty much anything without any potions, except healing of course.

Keep the healing potions and mana if you do magic, a few strength potions for when you get overloaded, and SELL EVERYTHING ELSE. Sell or just leave all food behind, who needs food or even sleep for that matter? Its all just busy work that makes a very easy game even easier.

90% of stuff you find is actually useless crap, you maybe need 8 or so decent health potions, maybe 2 stamina at most, unless you are a mage, then a few magica potions,  maybe 1 speechcraft potion and say 2 of resist fire/ice/electric.  Every other '+60 hp for 60 seconds' et al is really useless extra weight.  Alchemy is fun, but unless you want to use it all the time, all ingredients are just extra weight.  Ores can be nice, but realistically you can just buy what you need in town on an as needed basis, you will never have to forge a full set of armor/weapon either, you will find more of anything than you could ever use. 

  And loot?  I mean what for? beyond a house you never really need money for anything.  My thief had 200000 by lvl 50, my fighter around 100000 and they both owned all the houses, the fighter also brought about 20 horses cause stuff...  happened... to em.  The only stuff ive ever really spent money on is quality arrows, ores and leather, soul gems and some ingredients, and most of the time I was just trying to give the shopkeeper more cash so I could sell them more of the crap I was carrying.  Oh and both of these charecters have piles (literally, dumped on the floor) of magic loot about waist high in the middle of their houses
