Love the game so far.
The classless system is a good one. Now I can really go for my sneaky fighter assassin. I sneaks in heavy armor, your argument is invalid.
I am disappointed they didn't put mounted combat in. It would make horses a little more useful, seeing as how they arn't much faster then running(although fast enough to outrun a Sabrecat) And for those who lost your horse, mine won't leave. He followed me all the way out to an ice floe. (fast travel)

Spell cost reduction enchants must be pretty rare, because my enchanting is almost level 60 and i'm half way to level 18, and haven't seen anything with that enchantment, i'm stuck with Fortify Magicka and Magicka Regen for now.

Wait until you get to Frost Dragons or bigger. I currently two-shot trolls. Higher level dragons can actually give me a run for my money, even in my fully enchanted daedric set.

Start hunting necromancers, etc. Their robes will often carry a combination magicka regen/spell cost reduction enchantment.

I've got combination ones, but I can only put them on chest armour AFAIK, and the active effect isn't that much of a reduction.

If you want to get your conjuration up high, this isn't quite proper gameplay, but it's handy. Find someone, start a fight with them, and get them stuck on a rock or something. Now summon bound weapons, sheath them again, then summon them. Rinse and repeat.
Video games do everything in ones or threes (three hits to take out Bower's kids in the Mario games, Three keys to unlock doors. Two Frost Trolls to flank One Hagraven [makes three] )

That's kinda bizzarre. I've been finding robes and amulets and rings and such all over the place. I got Fortify Destruction almost right away, and keep finding (and selling) Fortify Conjuration and such.
There's always Fortify Skill potions, too.

Okay, now i did it! Not only does the DB have a contract on me, but now I messed up some elf clans plans. The are to kill me on sight. LOL I was the one doing the killing though.
Had something funny happen. Went back into the dungeon where you learn your first shout to get the more weapons to sell. Went out the back way and -BAM- A dragon attacks me. Kill it and it crashed in to the ground making a nice impact crater. Kinda cool. Fast traveled back to town, sold my stuff and -BAM- that fast, another dragon attacks me. Killed it as everyone went about there business. Matter a fact, had to dance around someone carrying wood.

It gets better. The further you go in the main quest, the more dragons spawn. I had three dragons assaulting a town and the fruit vendor would NOT leave her stall. Streams of fire, frost, blasts of lightning, crashing dragons... but GODDAMMIT, I'M GOING TO SELL THESE FETHING APPLES.
There are some who walk until their legs fail them and they fall to the ground. I find that respectable.
Then there are those who drag themselves further. I find that admirable.
I wish they'd scripted deaths into people's dialogues. Yesterday a dragon attacked Riverwood and ol' Alvor died (bless him, I remember when he was teaching me how to make stuff I then sold back to him *sniff*) trying to bash its face in, but his wife is either none the wiser, despite his body being in the middle of the place, or gone so mad that she imagines he is still around.
Article is a bit vague, but I wish Bethesda had released a list of the major bug fixes.

The economy started tanking when I flooded the market with 10 gold potions of Cure All Diseases. Seriously, the repercussions of that are immense.

2) Full Daedric Armor and dual Daedric hand axes. My god, this was a bitch. The amount of hauling that was required to get the Ebony and the hearts was astounding. After 3 hours of searching, questing, and Wikiing, I crafted my massive set of god armor. It's amazing, to say the least.
3) Ice Mages suck balls. I have about 300 Stamina and 250 health, with a 69 Heavy Armor and 90 One Handed Weapon skills. Now, what happens when I see an Ice Mage? He removes my Stamina, making it nigh on impossible for me to run to him without the other god damned Ice Mages forcing me to stagger, basically killing me and shafting my one way of doing things: Tanking. When I get close to them, they die like it's their job, don't get me wrong. But until then, they just spam the hell out of ice spells, and it makes me Rage.
4) Sam and the Drinking contest. You challenge a man named Sam to a drinking contest in
Spoiler:
Markarth
and the next thing you know, you've woken up in a temple, and everyone's pissed at you. You need to piece together what happened last night, and get back the staff you won in the contest.
This is easily my favorite quest of any Elder Scrolls game. It's really tongue in cheek, and the things you did while you were piss drunk are hilarious. Try it. It's got a great reward as well.
5) Daedric Quests. Not all of these start, or even end, at the shrines of the god. Some, like the one I'll describe in the spoiler, start really weirdly.
Spoiler:
You get told to get this man a dog. So you go to the dog, and it talks to you. It's funny as hell, and really good to break the mood of the usually depressing game.
6) This game can be scary at points. Like, really really fething scary.

Hmmm, rememeber I said that Alvor had died fighting a dragon? Well, a lot of in-game days later (since he died days ago real time, and i've been playing for ages since then), and 3 hired thugs in full steel try to cut me down (with half of Dawnstar's citizens doing the same thanks to a badly placed shout).
One of them had a contract from Alvor calling me a thief and telling them it wasn't necessary to kill me, but it didn't matter if they did.
Either it took them AGES to find me, or Alvor's ghost is pretty pissed off with me.
