I'm putting most of my perk points into Archery and one-handed weapons, with others going into sneaking and lockpicking. The arrows aren't doing as much as I hope, though. I keep running up against NPCs that are so tough that even a sneak shot with an arrow only takes a tenth of their health. And then I get swarmed by all of them and I have to get the axe out, which is surprisingly effective. I did a couple of the Thieves Guild quests: Not too sure. I seem to be doing things to help a bunch of bastards, while at the same time running missions for another bastard who set a bunch of hired thugs on me. I'm not sure why I'm still helping her. Actually, wonder what would happen if I killed her. How many quests would that break? Also, I was wandering down a road near one of the big cities early in the morning, and crossed the river that's beside the road to get some Nirnroot. I looked back to the road, and saw a ghostly headless horse-rider galloping along. I was going to have a look, but got distracted by someone attacking me, and when I looked again, the ghost had gone. Not sure what that was all about.

Also, do headshots take more health than a normal shot? Because if they don't, I'll stop trying to be so accurate, despite how funny it is to see people fighting me with three arrows sticking in their faces.

I'm not bothering with lockpicking because all it really does is saves on lockpicks. Which I have plenty of anyway. Seems like a waste. I won't read that cos I've not done much in the thieves yet :O That headless horseman thing sounds wicked :D Here is a picture of me practising my sneaking: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132841/TESV%202011-11-15%2009-30-55-55.jpg , , , , , , , , , , `' (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) \ \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) ''`>-,--”-”---”-”---”-”---”-”---”-”---- ,'.*''`

That's pretty sneaky.

I was thinking last night that my character must look like some kind of psycho to a watching NPC. I'd get into a fight with three heavily armed guys. There'd be arrows flying everywhere, axes being shoved into people, magic all over the place. Eventually, I'd be the only one left standing, on the edge of death and covered in blood. Then I'd suddenly start chasing butterflies trying to catch them. Fucking nutter.

How do I spin the camera round to face my character?

Ahahaha :D It's strange that I'll happily murder someone for hiring thugs to beat me up after I robbed their house. But consider taking butterflies immoral. :( Boff: The crouching one with the quiver on the back. Caer: hold down ...

Why have you drawn a yellow circle around some empty space?

I'll not only catch them, I'll even eat them to see what effect is has.

It does make me giggle when I eat a load of ingredients to find out what their effect is, but nothing really happens until I've left the menu and my character exclaims just how disgusting eating all those things were.

Aye, that is funny. I've stopped doing it though because I think levelling up alchemy is a bad idea (increases my level without increasing the skills that matter (i.e. stabbing)) , , , , , , , , , , `' (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) \ \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) ''`>-,--”-”---”-”---”-”---”-”---”-”---- ,'.*''`

I did find it somewhat unrealistic in Morrowind that you could get out your alchemy equipment and ingredients mid-battle, set it all up, concoct a health potion then drink it, then continue fighting.

Yeah but: 30 levels and 15 perk points spent in alchemy to put poisons on my blades. Vs. 30 levels and 15 points on stabbing shit. , , , , , , , , , , `' (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) \ \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) ''`>-,--”-”---”-”---”-”---”-”---”-”---- ,'.*''`

They would be cool if they lasted for (significantly) more than like 3 shots. I would use them mainly for wizards. Some anti-magicka potion and then see how they like fighting me. , , , , , , , , , , `' (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) \ \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) ''`>-,--”-”---”-”---”-”---”-”---”-”---- ,'.*''`
