Thanks for the tip mandangalow, but I'm finally coming across glass and elven equipment now. It sure took its sweet time though!

Perhaps it was the meticulous grammar and spelling and ability to express yourself articulately via the written word which led some to think (erroneously) that you were British? :-)
YAY! Doz dat meen I'm 1337 nowz? :P
We Canadians simply set a higher standard, eh!? :-)
You betcha! There most ...

Getting an immediate kill with a single arrow (when in sneak mode), as you come across several bad guys in a cavern....thus thinning out their numbers, and then wacking another with a sword or mace, and then lure the others around corners, etc.....yes, very satisfying.

And, it's good strategy ...

You're British, aren't you?
Interesting... What makes you think so?

I'm Canadian actually... and originally from Africa.


Oh, and Matthias has it correct. With a short sword I can literally overwhelm the enemy with a hail of blows, staggering and preventing them from letting loose any ranged ...

I find it amusing and yet irritating at the same time that townsfolk often tell me about my own exploits when I ask about any rumours. The first couple of times I just chuckled, "It was ME you dumbkopf!" Now I just get really [&@%!] when that happens.

My unequivocal funny moments though were always ...

Why long and short? You're just going to encumber yourself with the excess of weapons.
Several reasons:

1. I need both varieties for different enemies. Those that are powerful in melee I prefer to keep at some distance with the reach of a long sword. Meanwhile, those with powerful ranged attacks ...

I read some of the books but rarely all the way through. i.e. I'll skim and only pay attention if I find the book interesting. If I do, I'll usually keep it in my library of rare books at my Anvil home.

I just found 2 bows. It was at the very end of the level in the "Caught in the hunt" quest. Sure took a while. On the bright side though, I now have pretty much the complete set of weapons and armour I intend to use for the end-game:

Armour:
- Enchanted, 0-weight, mages' hoods (3 flavours, stealth ...

I'm at level 12 and I've only come across a single elven bow thus far. In contrast, elven armour and even other weapons seem to pop up quite frequently. Meanwhile, the Wiki suggests elven gear starts appearing in random loot at around level 9. Am I just being impatient?

Furthermore, vendors just ...

Tried that several times. I even alternated when I activated it relative to the purchase but no go.

I think the Wiki states that most NPCs have very little gear so encumbering them, while theoretically possible, is very difficult. For testing purposes, I'd suggest focusing on drain strength because as the Wiki states and you found out, it's much more magicka efficient. The trick will be to design ...

Yeah, I thought of that but registering all over the place is starting to get to me.

In fact, I'm registered on so many bloody forums it turned out I was already registered on TES source where the mod was listed and just sent him an email.

I installed this wonderful mod because it just bugged me that horses didn't carry anything and I really did not want to spend every single level upgrading my strength in order to haul more loot around. Anyway, it worked great with the horse I owned at the time. (the free prior's horse)

However ...

I hadn't considered silence. Yeah, that would probably be much more effective. Thanks...

ACK! Yet another question: Does your skill level in the relevant school of magic increase the potency/decrease the price of enchanting? i.e. if I raise my destruction level can I create a better enchantment given the same parameters? If the answer is yes, do skill increases after the enchanting ...

One more question, how effective is "Damage Magicka"? Is it more effective to enchant a weapon with Drain intelligence instead? Basically, I'm going to tone down the elemental damage in favour of at least partially weakening magical foes. I can deal with melee/archer combatants fine, it's the bloody ...

Much appreciated Matthias. I have been over the Wiki, several times but those particular questions were not addressed.

I did figure out the #(#) though. The first is the magicka charge cost per strike, and the one in brackets is the maximum charge per strike available with the currently selected ...

So I'm finally about to enchant my first item, an elven bow. Unfortunately, my magicka is still quite low so I can't go overboard just yet.

Anyway, my questions are:

1. What are the some of the values listed in the enchanting scroll? In particular the first value and it's bracketed counterpart as ...

If a creature/NPC has "resist normal weapons" and I'm using a bow do both the arrow and the bow have to be silver/daedric or can I get the same damage so long as one of them is? i.e. which would be more powerful: Silver bow + silver arrows or Elven bow + silver arrows?

Anvil is the cosiest, but I love the layout of Cheydinhal. The whole rivers and bridges right through the city thing destroys any monotony.

So I'm wondering, is there anything I need to do to get this to work? I installed it but after I cleared the Anvil house of spirits. Would that make it not work?

[edit]Scratch that. Found it thanks to the helpful hints of the author. I nominate him for another medal![/edit]

I installed this mod and for some reason the basement refuses to transpire. Does it not work on already owned houses? If that's the problem I have a recent save just before acquiring the Anvil Manor so that's OK. But, if it requires a complete restart it looks like I'm SOL. Anyone have any idea?

OK, I just captured 2 totems in the same bloody dungeon (dungeon directly North of Skingrad iirc) and sure enough a huge war party followed me out into the open and all the way to the city gates. I actually had to come out and defeat the last two who made it there because they wouldn't allow me to ...

Tough one huh? Ok, how about I list some mods I've installed already for some feedback?

Wildlife 1.3 by Tag: Great in theory but I have yet to see it in action. Rats at least seem still intent on attacking for no apparent reason. Any proven alternatives or is it just a bad coincidence that I haven ...

We'll see how that goes hehe.

CE

That's my plan too. I only went to Chorrol for the free horse anyway.
