Greaybeards (main quest if I recall).

WTF Vuljotnaak the dragon posted in my "dead dragon in White run" screen shot is following me around. I killed him outside of Whiterun and his body showed up inside, I zoned out of the whiterun temple and there his body is, I just logged in outside of Riftwood and what do you know his body is there now too.

Holy shite.

Lydia cycled thru her staves, raised a draugr undead via staff of zombies.

I'm giving every single staff I find to my companion now. Apparently they cycle weapons like pros

Yes I am easily amused by functional and practical npc ai

Nice! Now if only I could find her again!

Going to burn Markath to the mother fricking ground for setting me up and putting me in jail. For making me think I lost all my weapons and armor and.For making me shank a mother fricker. Aint gonna be nobodys bitch. Gonna kill everyone in the city.

Dude that video you posted up is hilarious. I especially lost it when he punches that queen-looking chick and she says "so kind.."

What are some good ways to level up?

I guess I just play the game differently than others. After I killed my first dragon in the main quest, I quit that story line and started wondering around. I began to smith heavily and improve my speechcraft so as not to get hammered at all of the vendors. I got smithing to level 100 in a few days. I would train in Riften and smith there as well.

I am a Wood Elf archer, so I have Dragonscale light armor and a Daedric enchanted bow with Ebony arrows. I am level 46. Unfortunately, you have to get hit to increase your armor rating, and because my archery is level 93, I hardly ever have to engage an enemy, so I simply train my light armor as high as I can.

Currently, I am buying all of the ingredients I can find in stores and all of the soul gems, both empty and filled. I then fill the soul gems and enchant ebony bows to increase my enchanting skill. I also make as many potions as possible to increase my alchemy. I am not really trying to level up, but I need more perks to get my character where I want him.

I plan on giving Lydia full Daedric enchanted armor with a Daedric bow and Daedric sword so she can accompany me on the rest of the main quest line.

One thing to keep in mind is that you should never, I repeat, never train in a skill that you are low in. It is a waste. Instead, start using that skill and train your upper echelon skills because it goes much farther in advancing your character.

Also, whenever possible, sleep for an hour or two, preferably in your own bed. For the next 8 in-game hours, your skills will improve 10% faster. If it is not in your own bed, but rather a vacant bed, your skills will improve 5% faster. Every little bit helps.

People on 360 are going crazy about the new patch. Apparently it makes the game much much worse. Apparently no resistances work anymore at all, armor or potion, dragons pop out of nowhere fly backwards and generally act very erractically, there's new weapon plaque problems, and some texture problems still exist. Don't get new patch.
