I still can't get over how powerful Unrelenting Force is. I tossed a Deathlord down a flight of stairs and that alone did half his health.
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.

In my experience it does Zero damage. However knocking even the most hardass dude is VERY useful. Was really Handy when i was fighting some orc warboss with a greatsword. He could kill me in one hit, so i had him chase me round a pillar while unrelenting force charged.
Found a Scimitar early on and still havent swapped it out. Oddly it's only worth 5 gold, which is less than an iron dagger. Also i am not having much trouble with spriggans/Hargravens so far, sabretooth tigers on the other hand... Lets just say thank god theyre scared of fire and cant swim.
I still havent used Jabbawock or whatever outside of the crappy quest you get it in. Keep meaning to.

I love Unrelenting Force. I rarely use anything else because, well, it's just SO DAMN HANDY. It's the Skyrim equivalent to Dale Gribble's 'Pocket sand'
Seriously, has saved me more times than I care to count.
Plus, hearing your character yell out "FOOS-RO" just cracks me up. Sounds like some kind of asian baby food.

This is relevant to my interests. And the interests of all of you, probably.

You forgot the part were you tell WHY Talos got removed.

When the Dominion got to Imperial city, the emperor surrendered( Or was Cyrodel or the palace? Can't remember)

Yeah, the plot moving so drastically is rather amazing. The Argonians conquering Morrowind was a "Whaaaaat?" moment.
When I saw how dramatically the gameplay changed, I played around with all the skills a bit to see which I liked the most and could genuinely see using for 500+ hours. I ended up using heavy armor, sneaking, a dagger in one hand, and frost spells/restoration in the other (I also focus on enchanting, but that's more for the endgame than anything).
I have NEVER used daggers in an elder scrolls game. However, in Skyrim, they made a huge difference in the way that daggers work. Now, I can effortlessly weave in and out of an enemy's attacks and land 2-3 hits before I have to dodge again, and I can take any enemy out in one hit with the 15x (!) damage bonus while undetected. Frost spells slow enemies down to make avoiding their attacks even easier, and heavy armor lets me absorb hits that I have to take with absolutely no problem (and with 70 skill points, you can move in it as if you were wearing nothing at all). I use restoration because...why wouldn't you? I find this to be an incredibly powerful build, and I have so much fun with it. There's nothing more satisfying than taking down a dragon (or any ridiculously huge creature, for that matter) with a knife.
The Slow Time Dragon Shout makes a huge difference in my effectiveness as well (of course), and the Whirlwind Sprint can occasionally teleport me out of harm's way for long enough to regain my composure. The rest of the shouts I could do without, but I really depend on those two to make the game ridiculously easy.
I know I will be making alts in the future, but I'm fairly sure that this will continue to be my favorite (unless perks in other skills can really change my mind). I suggest this to anyone who's looking for a highly effective build.
I really tried using a spell and shield (as that was my original character concept), because I figured that I'd be able to block incoming attacks while waiting for my magicka to recharge, but it really didn't work enough to warrant it at low levels. I got totally destroyed (moreso than with any other setup), though I could definitely see it being effective at later levels.

Pain is an illusion of the senses, Despair an illusion of the mind.
The Tainted - Pending
I sold most of my miniatures, and am currently working on bringing my own vision of the Four Colors of Chaos to fruition
The only Daedric Heart I've yet to find was given to me when I upgraded my house in Whiterun to include the Alchemy table. If you really need one, that's the only way I know how to find one.
I suppose you could mess around with conjuration and kill your summons, though I'm not sure you can loot them this time around.

I'm fairly sure that the Slow Time shout is given to you for completing Shimmermist Cave, which is West/Northwest of Whiterun, about a half a screen's length (on the map, anyway) from the town. Don't quote me on that though; I'm not completely sure, and the locations of the shouts may change based on the Radiant Quest system. It's still definitely worth checking out, though you'll have to do battle with a gigantic Dwemer Construct at the end of the dungeon to be able to obtain the shout. You shouldn't have any trouble with it at level 30, but the cave may scale to your level (again, I'm not sure).
I hope it's there, as Slow Time is definitely one of the most helpful shouts in the game if you depend on melee (or even bows or ranged magic) whatsoever.

Scaling doesn't apply to enemy gear anymore, just mob levels. I'm now facing bandit mages who can 3 shot me with fireballs. Though they die from 1 axe to the face.
Also, I found a great way of hunting dragons/finding shout. Go to all Inns, keep using the " any work" option. You keep getting bounties, first kill bandit leader, then giant, then dragon(almost) always located at a dragon shrine thingy. I've completed almost all inns this way now.
Have yet to step into any dwemer dungeons so no clue how I'll do there.

Arngeir will tell you where undiscovered Word Walls are.
And Dwemer dungeons are pure evil. Sphere guardians are tough. Centurions are hard. Centurion Guardians are dead tough and hard.
There are some who walk until their legs fail them and they fall to the ground. I find that respectable.

Buy a house, buy the Amulet of Mara from Maramel in Riften, then start talking to everyone.
And yeah, Arngeir is a Greybeard.

Shimmermist Cave isn't actually a Dwemer ruin, it's just infested with Faenir (I'm pretty sure that's their name anyway; the ugly fethers that look like Nosferatu). They just so happened to come across a Dwemer Construct (and somehow figured out how to control it), and you have to fight it to unlock the Word Wall.

Forgive me, I couldn't exactly place their name. Still, it shouldn't be a difficult dungeon at level 30 by any means (unless there's some behind-the-scenes scaling that I don't know about).

I was doing sword/healing for a while, but I've since switched to sword/dagger. I use the dagger for backstabs and the sword for normal fighting. I think I'm about half way through the main quest line and I was able to get the Blades sword hanging on a wall at the inn in.... i dunno, wherever you meet that lady after the horn quest. The sword is great, it's like a big katana and I enchanted it with +5 frost damage. I should have tried to sharpen it first, now I can't because I don't have the perk to work on enchanted weapons, and I don't plan to get it.
Other than the rested bonus, what do you get from marrying someone? Can you marry more than 1 and have a house in each city? Or does it matter who you marry, like one person might have some kind of bonus over another?
I'm doing both the dark bros and thieves guild stuff right now, gonna take a break from the main quest for a while and do all my other quests.
Err..... I have the wabbajack to prove that Sheogorath is in Skyrim lol.
Thinking my alt will be a viking with a sheild and heavy armour. And absolutely no magic. Also he will carry the lusty argonian maid around with him at all times.
Now if you'll excuse me Lifts her Tail has to polish my spear.
