Wait until the editor for Skyrim is released.
Soon after, mods will for sure correct this.

It's probably going to be a solid month until we see the first substantial Skyrim mods. I've been spoiled by the modding community for FO:NV, I can't wait until Skyrim gets that kind of overhaul.

Admittantly, I haven't played Vampires on Skyrim yet, what I was described was Oblivion Vampires... I can't imagine them doing much to make Vampires that more interesting though, if werewolves are to go by.

I'm inferring from comments here that companions can be used as pack mules. Normally I detest someone following me around, especially since I like to scale mountains as shortcuts. Someone that can store all the loot from dungeons would be a huge assist, and the first guy that followed me was fairly useful with a bow.

If they die, is it permanent or do they magically resurrect? **heads for the wiki**

A couple of days ago I was scaling a random mountain in search of random loot, and a dragon attacked me just as I found some random lootable area. Everything was going according to script, but halfway through it flew up the mountain and didn't come back. I heard it blasting something and didn't want some NPC poaching my kill, and made my tedious way up the mountain. It took ages to find a path to climb up, and there's the dragon blasting away at something.

When I finally reached the peak, I didn't see anything around and I finally got the dragon's undivided attention. It took a fair amount of my health before I finally killed it--I was extremely low on potions at the time--and immediately after it died a couple of...

...appeared out of nowhere and very nearly took me out. First I'd seen of them and they were tough bastards. After all was said and done, I looked around and found three more dead ones scattered around the peak.

Too bad dragons don't like to follow you or they'd be easily weaponized.

Making Skyrim large-address-aware eliminated my crashes.

I have recently changed my follower to Kharjo.  Primarily because a dragon attacked while I was passing their "caravan" and I saw him take 4 firebreaths while I was shooting from a rock trying to get the damn thing to land and his HP was barely reduced by a fourth.  Lydia on the other hand took two and was downed, despite an 80% fire resist shield.

So now it's beastfolk adventures time I guess.  Lydia has been delegated to watching the dog at Breezehome.   ....I kinda feel bad...maybe after a few weeks there she will go back to being as awesome as I remember her being when she first joined me.

I've never even used any other companion.. I know of two, though.  Both of which are in Whiterun.


Also, WHY THE HELL is this courier running around without anything on but a pair of boots?! I'd screen shot it if I could, but for some reason I can't take screenshots..

Makes him run faster.  Severe hypothermia is a small price to pay for a job well done.

Not long after you learn your first shout, I was doing whatever random dungeon was near me way out in the wilderness. When I pop out onto the surface, I wander around for a minute before a courier shows up and gives me a letter saying some unknown fellow knows that I shouted in <insert dungeon here> and doesn't like it.

This happened with me too, except with my Dark Brotherhood woman. Even though I told her to wait behind. >_>

She must love me <3.

I had found a Butterfly in a jar a long time ago.  I had put it in my house, thinking it some easter egg nod to Legend ot zelda.

I just now also found a moth in a jar.  There any purpose to these things or are they just for decoration?
