Spoilered just for safety.
+ Show Spoiler +Dragons still attacked me after I killed Alduin. I don't know if that's the official 'end', but but it was supposed to end the dragon problem at least.

Did you finish the College questline?
You get a dungeon where some story is explained not all but makes it easy to imagine what happened afterwards.

once you discover some of the more advanced effects like slow, invisiblity, and frenzy, it takes very few potions to clean the general store and alchemist out of all their gold after buying up all their ingredients and soul gems
so once you put like 4 perks into alchemy, every time you stop into town, you make 2k gold, get a good stock of ingredients, and end up with a dozen petty/lesser/empty soul gems
once your alchemy approaches 70-80, you can even afford to clear the entire town out of filled grand soul gems, and afford high end ingredients like fire salts and daedra hearts
poisons of slow provide the biggest return on invest because the ingredients to make them are very cheap, but potions of invisibility are the most expensive by weight

You guys know the guy in windhelm, nurelion? He is the old alchemist who wants this litte glass thing from one dungeon.
+ Show Spoiler +I did the favor and brought him that stupid thing.
He then was very rude and gave me 5 (???) gold....
I got more from his apprentice though so I just moved on and forgot about him. Now 3 levels later I travel through the country and 3 headhunters appear, saying they wanna teach me a lesson.
I manage to kill them and looking through their stuff I find this contract indicating nurelion the stupid SOB hired them.
WTF? Can I just pay him a visit and end this idiot!?? :D

Characters tend to "have a hunch" about who stole their stuff. While you may have been hidden, they'll still suspect you end send thugs.
I haven't seen thugs in a while. I think it's fun to show them who's boss :D

oh thats nasty, I didnt knew that. but yea, it was fun to teach THEM a lesson

Has anyone else gotten that bug after ''Revealing the Unseen''?
+ Show Spoiler + Ancano does something to the orb, and I'm supposed to find the Arch Mage. However, the arch mage lies dead in the courtyard, and Mirabelle and Ancano acts like something never happened
I'm on the PS3 version. Any ways to fix this, or did I just miss out on the rest of Mage's guild questline?

Yeah I love that they added that in. Random events are clutch in keeping the immersion after playing a long while and giving that living world feeling.
Another thing that irritates me and I want a mod to fix:
Tack Hammer. Tacks. Locks things in your houses in place so they don't randomly dislocate from where they were placed while you were gone or if you happen to bump them.
I don't spend that long decorating my houses but.. I have these centurion cores that really look nice in Markarth or any house is just too dark so I like leaving torches around. But of course, when I go back in everything is fucked -_-
It's like The Sims: Dwarf Fortress It'd be nice to lock things in place.

LOL a messenger just gave me a note from someone. nothing special but he was wearing only shoes and loincloth :D:D

Well on PC you can always use the journal's setstage function in the console to force quests to proceed, not sure how to fix it on console though...
...wait, so on PC the solution is to use the console? So on console, the solution is to use the... PC? How's that for a mindfuck >.<

Additional ideas: Invest in temples, Jarls. Make quicksaves cost 100 gold. Challenge Maven to a a bidding war over buying and gutting the orphanage, turning it into a chemical factory. The more I think about this the more I want to finally learn how to modify Bethesda games.
It is much easier then making a Stacraft 2 map, the only thing you need is time.

Is it already possible to adjust spell damage and cost values? Or do we need the creation kit for that? I really hate the missile type magic spells and I want to up the range, damage and magicka cost on the novice destruction spells so I can do some badass kamehameha style magic (but still keep it fair of course, I don't want to be overpowered, that's why I'm also going to increase the magicka cost).
edit: oh nice, I actually found a mod for this on skyrimnexus, but the mod's spells are around adept level, I want expert level damage and costs.
edit2: and the mod maker was nice enough to give an explanation on how to do that, problem solved!

This isn't the thread I meant to post in! This isn't right at all!

+ Show Spoiler [Alternate Ending to that quest] +If you don't piss him off, later you get a message from his apprentice saying he can fix it. You do a little gathering quest and get a potion that's usable once a day of an effect of your choice kinda. There's a load of cryptic clue's and you pick the one that best suits you. I have 60 seconds of +50% melee damage once a day potion from it.

After I got whirlwind shout I kept on using it to get around in the town. One fine day I am enchanting some stuff in dragonreach and this guard comes and says "This has to stop" "You are scaring people with these shouts, please don't do them in town".
Pretty funny!
