I was mountain climbing with my horse (they are unnaturally good at it) and got to the tip of one of the mountains, Im talking I was WAY up there. And as I was swinging the camera angle around for that awesome save screen shot, my horse didnt want to live anymore, and just kindda fell off. Well it sucked because we fell far enough to kill the horse, but not me, which when he fell and died, caused me to go OVER the ledge he landed on. And Im not even kidding, a good 15-20 seconds of comic book hilarity, I was bouncing, tumbling and sliding all the way down the mountain to my death. I finally came to rest and the bottom of the mountain, in a stream. It was hilarious.
I was being chasedby a bear one time and didnt want to bother to stop and kill it, so i climbing up the cliff. Suddenly, a wild dragon appears. As im trying to run towards it, i dont realize theres a steep cliff edge, which i then accidently fall off. After tumbling for 5 to 10 seconds, my horse dead, im finally about to get up, when the bear comes back and knocks me on myass. As if it cant get any worse, the dragon comes back, breathes fire on me, lands, and finishes whatever life i had left.
Game over man.
"Whoever said the pen is mightier than the sword obviously never encountered automatic weapons."
Decided to kill everyone in riverwood. Was actually surprisingly easy. Especially seeing as i was lvl 8.

Funnily enough, on the 'can't die' note, Shadowmere tanked the entire Elder Dragon fight. When it flew off I thought she had died. But when I got to where it landed I found her again, still kicking the dragon in the face.
Its like playing a tank pally in WoW, just tons of fun, as you pretty much never die.
Status report - I think the people in Skyrim are cursed, or made the Gods angry, because thieres this crazy friggin Werewolf that is going around ripping faces all over the damn place Seriously, if you find yourself ina fantasy world walking down a road, and you pass someone that smells of dog, run your ass off.
Also dawnbreaker + spellbreaker is an awesome combo, undead (draugr, vampires, skeletons, ghosts and etc) are decimated and shouts (including dragonfire) are pretty much nullified
Then you take the arrow blocking perk to prevent archers from doing any damage and heavy armour to minimise melee damage.
Gah.
I tried to put my old daedric sword on display in my house, but I ran out of display cases.
"No Problem" I think to myself, "I'll just place it on top of the other sword in an open display case, then close it, it'll have the same effect."
Do some enchanting work on my new armour.
Come back to the words "I saw it first!" and see Aerin (Mjoll The Lioness' freind (I'm married to her)) lying dead on the floor, killed by either my wife or my housecarl, who are busy fighting over my sword.
I can't make the corpse disappear, so I had to make him a contortionist in my housecarl's room.
I just finished making a daedric armour set (with the ridiculous stats exploit of course) and its something like this:
Helmet: Fortify destruction and archery
Armour: Fortify Health and resist poison
Gauntlets: Fortify one and two handed
Boots: Fortify carry weight and muffle
Shield: Fortify block and resist magic
Ring: Fortify unarmed and pickpocket
Amulet: Fortify lockpick and sneak
Let me tell you its fun sneaking in plain eyesight of an ancient dragon, standing up, not being even hurt by the fire and then one hit falcon punching it in the face.

I've heard about this and just don't see the appeal. God mode is only so fun for so long. I find it more enjoyable to take things down the hard way.

I know what you mean but its hard to know "how much" power makes the game enjoyable but not too hard (lvl 60 on master). I even before i discovered the exploit my armour (completely legit, improved to legendary with no potions) made me still all but unbeatable. Before I had 4 pieces of armour with 40% fortify one handed, my daedric sword did 300 damage (Alduin went down in 3-5 hits). I thought if I was going to be OP I would be OP overkill.

That's hilarious.

Thats one of the few things I simply cannot stand about Skyrim, is the friggin unkillable people. Look, if I want to ruin my chances of doing the Companions questlines by killing them all in a fit of rage, goddammit I should be able to

Oblivion had unkillables too. At least they would actually fall on the ground and look dead for a few minutes.

I've cleared Geirmund's Hall but am a little unclear on what the Raised Stone that's in the pool of water when you drop down the hole does.
I've read the wiki and it mentions that it opens a secret door but can't seem to find said door. I've watched a few vids on youtube about it but they don't seem to even touch it.

To access the hidden underwater chamber you must open the door by activating the Raised Stone underwater, immediately below the hole you just jumped down.
Whether or not it grants passage to a secret door I don't know, I would just like to know what it does, if anything
In other news, I finally hit 100 enchanting and was excited to upgrade all my equipment. Oh, you mean I can only put two enchants on NEW equipment? Sunova...
Any reason to keep capturing tons of souls after you hit 100 other than money making? I have dozens of gems now that I capped out and the petty/lesser/common just don't seem useful. You can't sell them for more than the raw cost of the unfilled gem, so it seems like a wash.
I wish there was a way to scrub enchants off items or rename them once you already have them. Oh well.

I was on a lovely walk with Lydia when I saw a fight between Stormtraitors and Imperial soldiers. I helped slay the filthy traitors but as I slayed the last an elder dragon swooped down. It´s breath attack drained half my health before It was attacked by a bear. It flew of to the other side of a river where it killed a mudcrab. Being a brave citisen I charged. However I was forced to use cheats not to die. The dragon threw me into a cliff where I got stuck. But then, from nowhere a horse came and attacked the dragon. The dragon was to occupied with trying to kill me the horse was able to knock of almost all its health. In the distance I could see a bandit fighting a Sabertooth. After a while the bandit slayed both the horse and the Sabertooth. Luckily I managed to get out from the cliff and slay both the dragon and the bandit. Hurrah for horses!
As much as I love Warhammer 40000 and all of it's awesomeness and grim darkness - I must here say Clone Commandos would won the day.
