That you could move faster when overencumbered by nocking your bow?
That you could eat hawk feathers to cure any disease?
(Continue it with your own, please)

That if you took an arrow in the knee, you would have to become a guard?

If you carry a couple vegtable soups with you -- if you become overencumbered -- you can drink one and continually power attack forward moving at a decent clip. Just watch no one gets in your way!

Unsure if this is a forum game. If it is, it shouldn't be up as forum games are not allowed as decreed by Musicman the Forum Eater.

Anyway, did you know that the Dovahkiin is immune to taking arrows to the knees?

The weight of a golden ingot is exactly the same as the weight of an iron ingot?

It's not a forum game, it's a list of interesting things about the game that people might not know.

Did you know you can increase your sneak skill by throwing your voice against a wall when you are perched above enemies?

the Blade of Woe is the only dagger that can stagger?

Thanks, that must be hilarious to do.

You can resist up to 97.75% of an element (fire, frost or shock) by reaching the 85% resistance cap for both resist magic and resist element.

You can make your follower carry unlimited amounts of items, as long as you tell them to pick something up, not trading it with them.

The Gourd is in most elemental resist recipes, yet it is only a food; unable to be used in alchemy.

That the Blizzard spell can be used to repeatedly trigger the tentacle effect of Miraaks robes?

That Sven is the only follower with a morality of "Property Crime Only"?

(All others are "No Crime" or "Any Crime")

What's considered a property crime? like break and enter? But he's cool with murder?

Blade of woe also swing as slow as one-handed sword and not silent.

Did you know that the highest level an NPC can reach in the game is 150, and only Arngeir and Miraak are able to do so?

This isn't accurate anymore.
There are a few NPCs who level with you but don't have a level cap, like J'zargo.
The 1.9 patch removed your level cap, so J'zargo could potentionally pass Miraak's level.
That doesn't stop him using sparks, though

Ahh, of course! I wonder, does giving J'zargo the ring of Arcana give him new spells to use?

He should be able to use those spells then, but the question is if his AI allows him to cast them more frequently then Sparks.
He actually knows some apprentice destruction spells and uses them as well, but most of the time he prefers spamming Sparks for some reason.

Another option would be giving him staves, although I'm not sure if he'll prefer using them over his beloved Sparks spell

^^ Not if it's anything like its brother the Ring of Necromancy - I had Serana equip that and it didn't do anything.

The Ring of Arcana does indeed add Ignite/Freeze to followers.
Not sure why the Ring of Necromancy doesn't work though.

Most targets go down quickly if you aim at the knees.

How could you not?

The Staff of Courage is a quite useful hunting tool.
It can turn otherwise unaggressive animals like deer and foxes hostile, which makes them easier to kill with an meele weapon since they run towards you instead of fleeing. The staff itself has 500 charges and a single cast costs 1. That means that it has 500 uses, which is way more than any other staff or enchanted weapon has in this game, and it's number of uses isn't affected by the illusion skill of the caster.

God i thought people had gotten tired of making arrow to the knee jokes a few weeks after skyrim came out but i guess i was wrong.
