That special poison you get was just the ingredient. Someone mixed it into a potion with very little alchemy skill and got a poison capable of 1.4 k damage. I wonder how damage it could do if mixed with high alchemy skill.

after some quick tips
1. i have the life leech enchantment and enchanted it on my sword that's giving me +10. but i found another sword that gave me +20, is there anyway to forget the original and disenchant the new one so i start off with +20? or does the enchantment start with a fixed base?
2. is there a quick or easy way to recharge magical weapons? i'm finding that i run out of charges really quickly and running out of gems (i dual wield and the other weapon has the suck a soul if kill within 5 seconds, but it always comes up with the message "no soul gems large enough") arghhh
appreciate the help once again ><

1. I believe the enchantment starts with a fixed base. You need enchanting perks (or potions lol) to start making more powerful enchantments.
2. No. Gems are the only way, but they aren't that bad. My method: First step is to get a lot of money. Go do Thieves Guild or Dark Brotherhood if you need money...or just accept a bunch of Misc quests and while you're going to a destination (random camp or something), stop at every land mark that appears on your compass and clear it. You get a lot of loot, and it is pretty fun because you unexpectedly find cool shit and interesting journals. It is a interesting way to explore and you get tons of loot. Or abuse alchemy.
Once you have money, just make it a conscious effort to buy out all of the Soul Gems (if you don't have beaucoup money, don't buy too many Grand Gems) from Alchemists, General Good Stores, and Court Wizards in every town you go to. You'll eventually stock up and in some cases have too many. After that, just make conscious efforts to Soul Trap (97 magicka spell) or use a Soul Trapping weapon for (the one you have now, but I prefer two weapons with damage enchants) weaker enemies/wilderness you come across. After that, it is pretty easy. Check out the Shrine of Azura for an refillable soul gem btw.
You're probably getting the "No soul gems large enough" message because you need black soul gems for hummanoid enemies.
Edit: Oh, Dwemer Ruins give a good bit of Soul Gems as well. Lots of Soul Trap targets and lots of Soul Gem drops from machines, but depending on your difficulty/level/playstyle, they might be hard or annoying to clear.

Obscuros Oblivion Overhaul for Oblivion. It is what it says it is, an overhaul, basically changed tons of stuff.
If you have PC version then yes, there will be about 1 billion more hours of stuff. Some if it will be freaking amazing like OOO and some of it will be meh.

The game has become extremely easy since I got max enchanting. Made an armor set with -100% cost to destruction and alteration (the 2 magic lines I use) and I can destroy everything with dual thunderbolts so easily... at 97 destruction so I'm soon to have the master spells too. Using the flesh spells to make myself have a ton of armor and yeah, it's pretty easy. I'm up to level 37 now. Around 85 in alteration but to be honest I can max that in 10 minutes with detect life if I wanted.
In the past, most fights I had trouble with was because I ran out of mana too quickly. I was forced to use lightning bolt vs chained lightning at that point because of mana cost. With this armor set, I can use my strongest spell non-stop which also stuns enemies.
I don't mind being overpowered after close to 40 hours of playing though.
My only qualm with lightning-destruction spells is that enemies become invulnerable for 3-5 seconds after they get hit most of the time while they pick themselves up.... really annoying. I've developed a timing for it but I still want to just kill them quicker.
I still haven't went to the mountain lol... I have mapped about 90% of the world (I checked an online map since it's hard to know exactly where everything is). Did several quests in 3/8 main towns so far and a couple in each of the other ones. Not 100% done in any of them except maybe Winterhold as those I get seem to be repeatable and non-ending at this point but doing well overall.
I'm not going to do thieves guild and DB quests on this character so it eliminates a lot of quests anyway. Also I wipe any cult I find... Daedras don't seem to like that lol; one of them even contacted me after I wiped her cult. I was forced to kill an NPC in a house in though which sucked but I still refused the Daedra.
Overall, I still have a lot to do. I'm going to end up with like 80 hours of gameplay on this guy or even more when I finish everything.
I already know what my next character is going to be. A devious archer/illusion Khajit that will do Thieves Guild + DB. I will then proceed to murder every single NPC in the game. Not going to complete the main quest at all with him.
Then, my 3rd character will be a dual axe warrior with heavy armor that will focus on the Companions quests and the main quest. I haven't decided what else he will be good at yet though. Mages are just so much more interesting in this game, and I usually like melee characters a lot more. But mages can do more than just bash away since you don't really get any combat skills.

So I spent a while working on my smithing, I got it to the point where I can make Orcish armor, but I can't find the materials anywhere ._.
My character is level 17 or so, but all I can find is iron..am I not meant to find the orc ore (forgot the name of it) until later on or something?

You need to find the mine or wait until you are higher level and shops will sell the materials to you.
BTW, how did the developers expect us to ignore smithing in this game when there is no enhanced items to get in shops/quests?
Best you can get are enchanted items.

The whole smithing and enchanting system is pretty bad if you ask me.

I have three questions:
1. What types of ways are there to interact with NPCs that have increased from Oblivion? One of the problems I had with Oblivion was while the NPCs did talk to each other and did make it immersive at times, the problem was that you couldn't really interact with them that much.
For example even if you had 200 infamy and was a level 50 character with maxed out stats, people wouldn't be afraid of you or anything and just treated you normally. (Infamy decreases disposition towards those with high responsibility. That simply meant they were more likely to attack you rather than be scared of you or anything).
Another example is there is no way to mug people or do so. You can pick pocket but you can't threaten people or so.
2. What is the file format for character models? Are the same as Oblivion or different? Is it possible to import meshes/models or so from Oblivion to Skyrim easily? I really like the female Mythic Dawn armor from Oblivion >.>.
3. Are there more than 8 "hotkeys" in Skyrim (for PC users)? I felt limited with 8 hotkeys. I'd like 16 or more. It was a hassle later in the game to switch spells or change weapons (I didn't need to but I wanted to for fun and variety).
Thanks in advance for replies  .
