It's only written in the "Shouts" section, but why look there if you want to use a Shout..

I had no idea you could just take their stuff when i had him as a companion. However, i saw him having a cool bow and i was like, i want that, so i took him into an empty house and killed him for his stuff. i could've just asked for it 
ahahahahaha
'i regret to murdered him. i just could have asked him all his stuff for free ...'
Btw double hand magic lightning is the best. I only have multiple lightning but when you kill one, he touchs the floor 20meters away :D

I don't know if you noticed but the main reward is actually an active effect you get, which is really not bad.
+ Show Spoiler +Somethingorother's serendipity which gives 25% chance to create a duplicate potion when using alchemy.

Yeah but alchemy blows. I haven't made one potion all game - just used what i've found lying around

yeah and you can harvest around 10 nirnroot from her garden now and then ... quite an awesome quest IMO

That is similar to the quest to get 10 bear pelts for that other woman (I cannot remember where she is :D). I didn't actively hunt down bears for her but as I traveled around I would run into them and store their pelts in my house until I got 10

Yeah sure, written super small in a corner... So obvious...
And there's no reason for me to specifically look there because it does not make sense from a role play point of view. It was obvious for me that those new shouts had something to do with the training from the grey beards. They should explain it to you when you visit them.

Alchemy is awesome when you use it correctly. Here is a few uses:
Health/mana/stamina potions, the obvious thing.
Invisibility potion when you're about to die is so incredibly useful. Everybody should carry an invis potion at all times imho.
Fortify smithing or enchanting when you're about use those skills. Boosts the effect by quite a lot.
Resistance potions when you're facing dragons or hard monsters.
Damage health poisons on your weapon is awesome and really cheap to make. Especially on dual wield.
Paralyze/slow potions when you're facing extra hard enemies.
Cure disease potions are useful when fighting vampires/wild animals with diseases.
Put frenzy potion on people with pickpocket is an awesomely fun way of killing people in towns without getting caught.
If you are a destruction mage, use weakness to element poisons on your bow and fire a shot before attacking, it does the world of difference.

urrite it's not like alchemy is the easiest way to make money, nor is it necessary to utilize smithing / enchanting to their full potential and actually get gear that doesnt suck

My invis potions don't seem to work, I get aggro'd regardless. And the only shouts I find useful are the freeze and unrelenting force, which have essentially the same effect.

Haha love it.
The best thing is that there are very few quest rewards worth getting in a game like Skyrim, you can pretty much make better everything yourself than what a quest giver can give you
Gold? I shit gold
Gear? Do not make me laugh
Unique spells, shouts, fancy horse and cutesty gear like Azura`s star is pretty much all the awards actually worth something.
Oh and active effects I guess.

I am totally annoyed that I have bought a console game for the PC ... Sure it said "PC" on the box and runs just fine, but the controls are totally designed with "console" in mind. Even really old games allow for more spells to be memorized simultaneously and this "time-out to change my mouse1 and mouse2 spells" is annoying. HUGE minus for this and it would have been a reason not to buy it (just like the "only 2 guns at a time" in Duke Nukem Forever). *sigh*
There are sooo many options / spells / skills in the game, but that UI is putting the players in a straightjacket.

On the upside, the PC version can be modded and you'll likely see mods to fix bugs and enhance gameplay experience.

Dude you can bind anything you want to use frequently on numbers... just open favorite menu, highlight spell/weapon/anything you want to bind and press corresponding number. Press that nimber 1 time --> 1 handed; 2 times ---> 2 hand (if possible)

lol I was getting raped by a bear who wouldn't go after my summon, so I said k np I'll use my invisibility potion, drank it, and ran at an angle away from the bear, turn around to see how close it is, and it kills me.
