I don't think that skill works with the first set of basic spells. You need to buy the next set of spells (try the mage in whiterun castle).. fire bolt, ice spike, lighting bolt.

They're saying on IGN that there has to be a problem with Skyrim on the PS3 because the game saves get bigger and bigger. Did they not play any of the Fallout games and notice that they did the same the more that you did in the game? However, it is weird that the number of game saves you have can affect how the game itself runs.

Well my son played for a total of 4 hrs last night and he made level 12. I knew it! What a dork. I've played a total of 7-8 hrs and am a level 6.

Meh. So if you have a companion..and then you do the Companion quest where Farkas joins you (and you lose that other follower), do you lose all of your crap? My follower was Farendahl from Riverrun.

So I steal thousands of dollars worth in gold, but the first time I punch a chicken, my follower one shot kills me with a hammer strike to the head.

It is a lot of money, but the fun part for me was doing minor quests and little jobs in and around town to save up enough to buy it. Felt great when I finally earned enough. That's sort of the way it was meant to be played.

I'm actually disappointed that Skyrim does not have "saddle bags". That mod was one of the main reasons I preferred Oblivion on PC. How hard would it have been to give horses an accessible inventory?

Why not? It is completely realistic for horses to carry things for you; in fact it's stupid for them not to. It's not like they didn't have an example in Oblivion. It was one of the most popular mods. I hate cheats and never downloaded those mods, but the Saddlebag mod should have been in the game. Everything was there for it in the existing game and it was so easy to do. You would mount your horse if you were in normal mode but in sneak you would "pickpocket" its inventory.

A weight limit is realistic (and let's face it, starting out able to carry that much is unrealistic - but I quibble). So is having a horse carry your burdens. People have been doing it for 1,000's of years.

53 hours in...just finished returning the thieves guild to full glory...that was a low point so far in the game...
The thieves quest line is really good up until you need to get your name out there by doing small jobs...30 + random jobs and 5 hours later (with at least 1 hour of loading) I finally did it...really slow shit...

I'm about 40 hours in. I bought the house, and never use it. I bought a horse and he got killed by a bandit. Bought a dog, and he was killed by a skeleton.

Heh...my dog was such a hassle I made him an indoor-dog and kept him in the house. I guess he got sick of that and I got a message saying he decided to go back home!

Also got the Dawnbreaker sword from a quest last night. Looks awesome!
