Well, the first time I turned into a werewolve besides after you drink the werewolf blood, it glitched out and I turned into a half man, half werewolf thing. I couldn't attack or move, and I just looked really damn weird.

Are you still in werewolf form? I'm guessing not, but you never know. Werewolf form is fixed to third person only, but since you're fast travelling around I'm guessing you're not in wolf form anymore. I've got no idea how to fix it. Maybe try transforming again and waiting it out?

Nah, I'm back to hum- well, orc form. I just finished grinding my smithing skill up like 20 levels, which in retrospect was probably a bad idea because of the level scaling. Oh well, at least I have some nice equipment. I'll try wolfing out somewhere quiet so I don't get swarmed by guards and see if it fixes it, thanks.

If that doesn't work, you may have to bite the bullet and play in 3rd person or reroll. Alternatively, try scrolling with the mousewheel.

Nope, it did! Thanks.

3rd person actually isn't that bad, honestly, for melee characters. You can do lots of really crazy turns while doing power attacks.

[nenjin]

Which turns out to be one of things that makes 1st person melee so tough sometimes. Your choices are either: stand and deliver, and get hit, or whip around and miss a lot of the time and waste stamina.

I just found a book called "The Twin Secrets."

(paraphrasing) Once you could enchant an object with two enchantments, but no longer.....The Dragon said men and elves cannot put more than two enchantments on an item, for they only have two arms, two eyes and two eyes. I asked the dragon why this mattered, and it laughed...I asked the dragon about my two legs, and it laughed again.

For my ignorance of the dev team meeting wherein it was declared there shall only be two enchantments for a Master Enchanter amused him greatly.

It's like Deus Ex Machina, with a side of nut punch.

Running diagonally backwards moves almost as fast or as fast as moving sideways. After that its the same as Oblivion. Back up, circle, attack, etc.

You know how sometimes you have an arrow stuck in you for ages?

So I think I may have been a little harsh on alchemy before. I'm starting to enjoy it quite a bit, and being helped along by things like Krosis and alchemy enhancing magic items, my brews are starting to get good.

Poisons are sooo powerful with an assassin it's incredible.
I had a fight again a draugr deathlord:
-1st attempt
Sneaked up behind him, attacked, 30x critical, between one fourth and one third of his health gone(I currently dual wield elven daggers). He then proceeded to kill me in what felt like 2 shots :p.
-2nd attempt
Poisoned my blade with the 50 damage poison, sneaked up behind him, attacked, 30x critical, he died instantly :p.

Bethesda has really done a stellar job, I was a bit dubious about the lack of stats system but after playing for a while it seems much better than the Oblivion system.
And the quests are much better than anything bethesda has done before, I've yet to encounter something really bad. Even some of the most "package delivery" quests aren't that bad, they usually make you meet a character a bit out of the way and give you a bit of backstory.

Has anyone else visited Azuras shrine yet? It's seriously fuckoff huge. Huuugge. I was honestly pretty impressed that I could make her out perfectly from the base of the mountain.

Of course I think I'm gonna get a certain star now.

[Dave1004]

Man, why can't I stick with one class of character? Malakai started out as a pure mage, then I found an awesome piece of steel armor that gave +15 to heavy armor, so I turned Malakai into a melee tank character, but then I found out how awesome sneaking is, and I turned him into a bow/dagger wielding rogue, then switched back to a mage for a while (Damn Dwemer Ruins, so powerful!), but that got boring so I went with a light-armored thief, and now I'm a heavy-armor warrior again.

I'm level 19, and only played for around 6 hours. Smithing iron daggers is so overpowered :/. Also: Any special characteristics for Blood Dragons? They seemed, well, normal. Not bloody at all!

[Greiger]

The only thing I don't like about the quest in skyrim are that they are so blasted far away.  I try to avoid using fast travel, and that's my own fault honestly, but there seem to be a large number of quests that are relatively insignificant that make you go to the other blasted side of the province and back. 

I haven't encountered any obvious delivery quests yet, but if I do find one I wouldn't be surprised if they want me to go from solitude to Riften and call it a jaunt down the street with how inordinately far away the quest origins are from their dungeons.  I think only Daggerfall was more extreme in travel distance.

Spoiler: Vague Azura quest example, no exact details (click to show/hide)

The Azura quest for example has you go from one side of the map to the other.  When it pretty much just involves one local yokel going nuts and running off to do mad science-y stuff.  I would expect him to go a little bit away, but not THAT far.  He was kicked out of the college, not exiled from the entirety of northern and eastern Skyrim.

Why was I able to take every bit of Silverware from the Keep of Whiterun??? Infront of all the guards, and not being accused of being a thief...
I am now over burdened and trying to find someone who will buy the spare books. I like collecting books...

[Gunner-Chan]

That would be because high reputation with someone makes them willing to share things with you. The Jarl probably assumed you could make better use of the silverware than him, at that he probably thought it had something to do with dragon slaying.

[Domenique]

I was wearing an amulet of mara and my mage follower asked if I was available. We're both males. I wish I knew what would the reaction from a homophobe be.

[KaelGotDwarves]

In skyrim? Probably to shout him off the nearest cliff.
