Those are for Orcish armor. The only notable unique weapon I've ever found was the Mace of Molag Bal. He's one of the daedric gods.

I've been playing skyrim for a couple of days and I'm currently lvl28 or something.. It's funny how the game is really easy to abuse at times, the one that striked me the most was where you found the altar of some lord of destruction (apparently Molag Bal) or whatever, and you had to bring a priest to him, and then u had to beat this priest into submission while he was stuck in the altar (but he had good regeneration).
Well, you could then take out a silly dagger that does almost no dmg and beat this guy forever until your one hand weapon skill raises insanely high. Also, by crouching and hitting you raised your sneak skill once per every 1-2 hits. I did this for some time until my sneak went up to 70 and then got bored and finally killed the guy.
Just wondering if anyone else had that experience..

If this was a multiplayer game then maybe I could see why someone would want to do things like that. But since it's singleplayer only, you are just ruining the game for yourself

Lose every single lockpick minigame, raise lockpicking. Very tedious.

I know it's probably less effective than intended, but launching fireballs with one hand and lightning bolts from the other, to then switch to smacking my enemies with my sword while spraying him with cold is amazingly badass

So, the blood on ice quest. I got annoyed with the murder scene not appearing. I decided to go to the shatter-shields' house, and steal the key to the crime house.
Went upstairs, Tova shatter-shield committed suicide, because I previously killed her daughter. Took the key.
Found all the evidence (It was bugged and just said "investigate investigatory investigation" or some shit. Still no murder scene in the graveyard.
WTF SKYRIM?

Ahhh, I just got involved with the Dark Brotherhood quests. + Show Spoiler +Killed Astrid, but I still have a save from before I killed her. I think I will be a "good" character in my first playthrough... Odd, considering I'm a kleptomaniac and I love to threaten people as a member of the Thieves' Guild. As much as it pains me to not fulfill my completionist desires (dem Steam achievements), I will leave the DBH quests for another time just to preserve the sort of character I've been playing as.

Anyone been to the Sightless Pit yet? It is a Cave Marker on the map, but it is just a hole in the ground. I went into it, and it transitioned into a Dwemer Ruin, but it did like some zero grav shit.

anyone found that mine near the black briar home? it literally has nothing in it what-so-ever, only a journal about a miner who was there saying they couldn't find anything.
is it related to a quest or something? there can't be a mine for no reason! there wasn't even ore in there lol.

I've heard that the newest patch which changed nothing other than requiring Steam broke the 4GB address thing (which I don't understand why Bethseda didn't allow this in the first place. Come on it's 2011). Has there been a fix for this since then? And also do mods still work, such as Improved Destruction, by changing your ini file?
This is what will help me decide if I want to purchase the game now or later, when people actually fix the many things wrong with Skyrim. Such as that blacksmith/enchantment/alchemy exploit or sneak being overpowered.

I found a cabin with a dead guy laying in bed. His journal just talked about how he died of a disease...literally nothing else. There are a few random useless things in this game lol.

Such as that blacksmith/enchantment/alchemy exploit or sneak being overpowered. You could just not do the exploits. You literally have to sit there and only make Iron Daggers/Enchanted Iron Daggers/Potions to exploit the game. It is all easily avoidable. Also, sneak isn't really overpowered. Well maybe the level 100 perk is, but I'm not getting it because...well it seems overpowered and it doesn't fit my style.

Check around the cabin for a treasure map. Wouldn't be surprised if one was there (I don't know if there is)

Make potion of enchanting->enchant a 4 piece set of (ring amu gloves hat) alchemy bonus->make new enchanting potion even stronger->repeat
But I made my first 200k before that. I stopped at 150% bonus to enchanting cause things were getting retarded. My smithy potions are like 450% increase.
Lol nice... this is a nice simple way of getting my smithing up for upgrades. I'll prob stop at 100dmg on my Dragonsbane.
The better use for this would be to boost enchanting for spell costs. You could eventually (in theory) get to the point where you get 100% magic cost reduction on a single enchant for a school of magic. You could have a ring which has 100% destruction and 100% alteration cost reduction, freeing up your armor for other things.

The game is only as broken as you make it, you can either abuse the shit out of things or just play the game and have fucking fun. If you want to grind those 3 skills you stated, max them out and then create op gear/weapons, then it is only your fault when the game becomes very easy at master difficulty. Not once have I encountered huge bugs or something that would turn me away from the game. But then again, by the tone of your post it seems you have already made up your mind.
