I've enchanted bunches.... but my favorite are some Daedric Gloves that I enchanted with something like "Feather 50"... I named them "Gloves O' Picking **** Up" ;-)

I am personally playing almost exactly the opposite of your character... but I did choose my major skills to correspond to the ones I wanted to role-play just like you.

There is nothing wrong with going down this route... don't let the auto-leveling take away from your Role-Playing. If you want to ...

As a fighter with magi capabilities I usually use a whole slew of things to take people down.

I first start with sneaking, then use my bow and arrow (usually one or the other (or both!) is enchanted, and marksman is one of my mains) dealing just 2x damage. Next comes a fireball (destruction is one ...

The jaggy-ness happened to me once too... when I played around with the options too much.

It appears to me that in order to make it go away completely you need to quit the game and start it again... on the preloading screen (the one that comes up and you have to click "Play") click on "Options ...

Have you noticed the "half-moon" shaped gold "thing" above your crosshairs when you point it at enemies? It shows their life... it gets smaller as you hurt them.

The same thing appears when you point your crosshairs at a friend (including horse) who is hurt (note that they have to be hurt ...

No Prob...

The manual is pretty thin... but it does get most everything in there... even if it's pretty light on details.

I am pretty sure that by "IND, RELOADED, and PCDVD" he is referring to 3 of the "cracking" groups that put out cracked executables and ISO's.

This would also be why he's using Daemon tools.... ie he downloaded a cracked ISO from some torrent site and is using Daemon tools to mount it and try to ...

It's in the manual on Page 36 toward the bottom.

I would suspect they don't do anything more than what it says in the manual.

If you go read on elderscrolls.com they have atleast one article on there where they talk about horse combat... basically allowing you to ride around and take swipes at stuff completely unbalanced the gameplay. I suspect that you would probably _never_ want to get off your horse.

So for the sake of ...

If you are getting blue screens while playing... it's possible your power supply isn't up to the task.

This game is _seriously_ demanding... it will be pulling _max_ juice from your PS... so if you skimped a bit when grabbing that power supply... now might be a good time to upgrade ;-)

That said ...
