Anyway, re the GTI-R, I don't know why, but I have a big emotional attachment to that car!
Even so far as to buy obscure Japanese games that feature it...
So I would love GT5 all over again if there was a Nissan GTI-R DLC.....
Might be the fact I love looking across the humpy bonnet in real life before I totalled it
Just put things into your companion inventory and they will use them, but it's not always a sure thing.
Just ask them to do something for you - I think
I installed a few magic mods, and finally things feel much better now.
One has more advanced versions of the novice destruction spells. Very nice, just hold and spray
And 2 handed casting does more damage like it should instead of chewing up mana...
Everytime I fast travel to Riverwood there is a dragon there. Don't want to fight him, because people always end up getting killed, so I have to avoid Riverwood
I'm closing in on 80 hours now, and still feel like I've only done 25% of the content!
tip - set your companions essential and they won't die anymore
bring up console with "`"
help XXXXX 4
xxxx = name of character or item
then scroll up or down with page up/down to find the character/item you want and the id for it
Your companions can read spell tomes, and learn them! Just put it in their inventory. Along with health potions and what not
They will use the spells as needed and drink the potions if low on health
You can also give them a soul trap enchanted weapon along with some empty soul gems and they will capture their souls for you
I always hated my companions stealing my kills, so I couldn't soul trap them, not anymore
---
If you can get a banish Daedra weapon, disenchant that, to get the Banish enchantment, and then you will make big bucks enchanting anything with it!
Iron daggers go from 10 to 800+ gold!
sneak and shoot for x2 multiplier or more = instant kill and soul trap of all animals.
No more chasing them around
Just buy a whole bunch of cheap empty petty, lessser and common soul gems, and you will have plenty of filled soul gems for enchanting iron daggers for profit or refilling enchanted items

My game has been really stable since I started using that 4GB loader from SkyrimNexus - played for a few hours today with zero crashes!
Got rid of that map mod entries in my Skyrim.ini that was causing freezes in the load screen, now I finally play again
I thought it looked familiar....this morning I scoped a new Lexus coupe parked outside a Lexus service centre I do deliveries to every morning, that looks a lot like it
Well I cna't play anymore, dude to Skyrim haning when I press continue upon loading. Just hangs on the load screen when I try to exit the shop...
And I have no map! There are city icons, but no land mass!
took me 30 mins against a frost dragon at level 29, and wait till you encounter the Elder dragons....
Well I'm going to wait till someone does an ingame one like the ones in Obvilion, where you can chain some complex moves together, like equip armour, weapons, cast 3 spells and back to weapons with one keypress
Spells need longer duration as well
Voice acting is better, and more of it in terms of variety
40 hours now and level 27. Smithing, enchanting and casting spells as I walk has helped me level up faster
I just smacked a bear on the way to a quest, so I'm starting to get powerful....
I got challanged by mage in that major city. Random encounter I think. Gees that was tough, his fire spell would cream me! Plus Lydia would get killed by him. I didn't want that, so I had to replay it about 7 times before I managed to kill him and keep Lydia alive.
I conjured a fire atronach to keep him busy and he was complaining about this being a one on one
You just make a Mods folder inside the Skyrim directory, put each mod in their own directory inside this folder. Then each mod is usually inside a data folder within their own folder, if they don't already have one, since the program will move them exactly as they are in their directory into the main Skyrim folder. Fire up the program and select which ones you want
There is level scaling in the game, but not in a linear fashion.
Each area will scale to your level the first time you enter it, but will then lock to a pre determined ceiling from there on in I believe.
BTW I have noticed shops getting richer the more I trade with them.
And I found soul trap weapons to disenchant in dungeons and quests. It's somewhat random, so it will eventually turn up somewhere
Best to craft your own, if your smithing skill is high enough and you have the perks
I'm more a magic guy so I haven't bothered with much armour or weapons, but I made all my own gauntlets and boots, plus a soul sucking enchanted mace.
I cast my own magical armour.
Glass, Ebony and Daedra weapons are better, and they will come as your level gets higher - which I always found weird. Notice how there were no good weapons at level 1?And then as the levels go up, better weapons suddenly appear in the shops...
That's why I hate level scaling mechanics - it's just not logical!
