Don't assume that all giants are friendly.

Seriously, don't.

Magic is still OP.

Magic is always either disgustingly overpowered or pathetically underpowered. I've yet to see a single game that balanced magic with the other options.

Also, the town guards will always be much, MUCH stronger than they have any right to be. And they come at you in swarms.

Also also, Mudcrabs are watching. They're always watching. Don't commit any crimes with a Mudcrab around...

Also also also, wearing the Archmage Robes along with the Morokei mask causes your head to vanish.

Question:
Blessing of Akatosh or whatever reads, "Dragon Shout cool-down reduced 0%": Does this ever change or am I being laughed at by the developers.

Something you might find: Castle Dour, on a door. That's not a typo, it's the castle title. My friend thought he caught the developers when he found it.

It's 20% reduction...

are there any giants that are friendly? I try going up to them with my weapons sheathed and they still fight me. Which led to many a death whilst fighting 2 giants and 3 mammoths at the same time

So, does anyone else's PC version of Skyrim (downloaded off Steam) tend to just close on you? Mine used to do it whenever I hit R to loot all but now it's doing it at random times. Downright annoying.

Keeps doing it for me.

Every once in a while. I have a tendency to just quicksave every 5 or so minutes...

Quest items suck in this game. In Oblivion quest items were zero weight in Skyrim no (I wonder if that's a bug..) Or at least as far as I can remember Oblivion's items were zero. I could be wrong.

I had a bow in my inventory and I still don't know for what quest. I must have pilfered it from somewhere or something. I found out that I can leave the bow at my house (Whiterun). Normally you can't drop quest items anywhere but you have this neat plaque upstairs and the game does allow you to leave it there. Equip the quest item and click to activate the plaque. Yay, a little more space in your inventory...

You can do gay marriages. I think.

Just did a mission for a guy, and straight afterwards an objective came up saying I could marry in Riften. Gay marriage then husband beating? I THINK SO!

Oh good, I was worried I couldn't marry the blacksmith in Whiterun since I rolled a female :s

That's actually useful information that I haven't heard yet. Thanks. I was carrying around some 12 pound stone that I couldn't drop.

I don't know if it works for any other item than weapons. It's a weapon's display plaque, but give it a try. That damn bow was heavy as well and it irritated me

It could be that the weapon rack downstairs works the same way.

Mine did until I used this program. Just select TESV.exe from the steam folder.

giants are neutral until you go near their mammoths. at least the 2 that i've seen have been.

Also i haven't noticed magic being overpowered. In fact quite the opposite. It doesn't seem to do nearly enough damage for the cost. 'Course that may just be due to all this steel i have strapped to my body.... Guess they really increased the magic incumberance rate from oblivion.

Once you upgrade it with perks it becomes really OP, if you dont upgrade its not very usful.

Yes, there are many. I've walked straight through groups of giants and mammoths without attracting any attention, in fact, I've only ever seen 2 giants that weren't friendly so far.

My character is extremely shit.
Takes around 4 - 1,000 arrows to kill ANYTHING.
An average Thug/Bandit... they take a good 4 (3x stealth attack) to kill and they can fuck me over in around 2 hits with worse weapons than me.
Its starting to get very fucking annoying now.
