Is it just me or is stealing everything not nailed to the floor (and sometimes is) just too easy...
I just visited the Alchemist of Windrun, and nearly 60-80% of her ingredients were free to take, and even then she didn't watch over me like some do when your in their home, where if you try to shut the door they follow you in there. I just drop into sneak mode when it says "Steal" and take it. If I don't, they declare Bounty through walls...

[umiman]

She likes you.

If you make friends with people, they let you take their cheap stuff.

[Neyvn]

So where can I fleece my stolen goods, I have a couple of Iron Helms that the folk in Windrun won't buy off me, and a Ton of food that the Jarl's Kitchens were so, kind enough, to give me...

Microcline, concerning 'humanity's greatest ally':

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

He isn't as altruistic as you might be led to believe. It's implied he didn't actually save humanity to save humanity, just to replace Alduin. His name means Ambition Overlord Cruelty after all. At the end of the game, you learn that he's flown off the unite the remaining Dragons under his rule.

I never said he wasn't the lesser of two evils, and I like the way the game never really gives you an answer on whether he's legitimately going against his instincts or just lying out of ambition.  He's just the most powerful ally you have against Alduin, and killing people when they've outlived their usefulness works best if it's done after they've outlived their usefulness.  You're right that the mission isn't as bad as I implied it to be.  It's just that I'd like to see the Blades involved in more political intrigue, and the main quest of Skyrim didn't leave much room for that.

Also, is it possible to become head of all factions (Bard's College, College of Winterhold, Companions, DB, and Thieves' Guild) with one character?  I've played through all of Winterhold, most of the Thieves' Guild, and some of the DB and I haven't seen a single skill check or membership conflict.

Go to Riften to seek out the Thieve's guild.

Or grab the Speech perk chain.

Ok, just left Whiterun... Attacked by 3 Thugs. After a bit of dodging around them and cutting them with my Frosted "Borrowed" Elven Sword that the Jarl "Lent me" which I enchanted myself, I find that they are holding a Contract for my Capture. By this guy Dorthe. Apparently I stole from him/her... Which one was is that again???

a little girl in Riverwood

I had a hit taken out on me by Nurelion after agreeing to venture into an ancient tomb to grab the phial for him

[Neyvn]

Wow... A little girl took out a hit on me cause I stole from the blacksmiths... ODD!!!

What's with all the follower dislike?  Lydia is my little buddy.

...Sure she stands in doorways so I can't get by...and makes my sweep two handed sword perk worthless because it will hit her when I am perfectly capable of one shotting her. (One time I activated a finisher with a sideways power attack and apperantly it still activated the perk, it killed 3 bandits and Lydia instantly) 

But my non combat skill is smithing.  Somebody needs to hold all that ore and those heavy dragon bits.  And it's certainly not going to be that annoying ass dog that I parked in my house that I'm never going to talk to again.

P.S. The scariest part of me one shotting her is that I take better care of her armor than my own.  Her job is to keep weaker stuff busy long enough for me to kill threatening stuff.  Her armor is all enchanted with all the defensive stuff I can put on it, all improved to legendary quality by yours truly, and she's using an enchanted Orcish shield that reduces fire damage something like 80%.  She is better armored than I am, yet she still dies the moment she eats one of my wayward greatsword swings.   Does she just have really low natural HP or something?

If I leave my LARGE collection of Books (I collect Books) in a barrel in Whiterun, will they disappear. I noticed I was carrying around 100 Weight in just books...

[Rose]

generally, if it looks like the type of thing that has random loot, like barrels, they might dissapear after a few days.

things that look more like they have a set contents won't.

Any Suggestions for the First Dragon Fight???

[Trapezohedron]

Hmm... Are there any respawning containers in this game?

[Rose]

I don't actually know, but I'm going on the assumption there are.
