This would be cool, and should have been included in the vanilla options. I second the request fully aware that this is highly unlikely to happen.

With some skills, there are limits; specifically the armor cap. There may or may not be a damage cap, the internet has not yet agreed on it. If you try to do the circle of enchant/alchemy to make better buffs with pot effects and better pots with enchant effects, you will hit a cap there as well. 29% smithing & alchemy enchants, 32% Alchemy & 130% smithing pots is the most you can make, both without cheating. if you use those buffs to try to make better, you still get the same results, so even past 100, there is a limit to some of these skills. Designing an experiment to test the effectiveness of sneaking at 100% skill with vs without a buff will help to define the limits the game has. That is what I'm trying to do.

I've come up with a simple way to test some of the skills, and listed ones I know to be able to do this Tested by me: Smithing: at the grinder or workbench, with 100 skill, a pot or enchant increases potential upgrading Enchanting: at the table, with 100 skill, a pot or enchant increases potential upgrading Alchemy: at the table, with 100 skill, enchants still allow more powerful pots Speech: at 100 skill, prices are better with a pot/enchant than they are without. simple way to test I have not yet completed Archery/one hand/2 hand/block/either armor skill: a corresponding item in your menu (a bow if you have 100 archery) reports more base damage with pots/enchants active than without. Dest/resto/illusion/conjuration/alteration: I don't know how to test this. any suggestions from more magey-er folks would be appreciated. I have 100 illusion only right now. Pickpocket: at 100 skill, an item you get caught stealing before does not with pot/enchant. Whether the % changes, and whether it is possible to increase above 100% would also be helpful information. Lockpicking/sneaking I honestly have no idea how to test sufficiently to prove on these skills.

bump? anyone got any ideas how I could test it?

Is there a way, once you have a horse, that you can just keep it in a stable? now that I have one I like the option, but I don't want him following me everywhere I fast travel.

I saw a mudcrab the other day... Most of the voice acting is pretty tolerable. I can even put up with Lydia if I have to, but the repetitive nature of the conversation among the most common 2-3 VA's is what puts me off. Especially vendors. I wish that the higher your speechcraft, the more license you have to be rude. Get to the point already I just want to dump this junk in your store. I keep Cosnach as a follower because at least nobody else says the same phrases he does, and he doesn't talk all that much.

Krosis & a blood dragon at the same time with Sven (basically useless) at very low level. Krosis basically kited me down the mountain. During our descent, at least 2 Ice wraiths, I don't remember if there was a wispmother also. Sometime during the fight it was either a bear or cat also joined in the fun. Down the mountain to the giant camp and I think he helped a bit but in the end I had to kill him and the mammoth also. There was also one of those random bandit/hunter encounters going on and they were both corpses before it finished. Ironically, I killed the dragon at the shrine before I initiated with Krosis. Another had spawned above us during the (lengthy) fight before we all tumbled downhill.

I have looked through these forums as well as both wiki, and the rest of the web a fair amount. I don't have a definite answer yet, and I hope you could help me. at 100 blacksmithing, enchanting, alchemy, you can still benefit from pots & enchants to increase your skill. Is there a list of what skills this can be applied to? I am specifically interested in sneak and the stealth skills in asking this. I have not personally hit 100 in either armor or 1 hand but when I do I expect to find out whether I will benefit from enchants on this. I can see armor rating on an item change after I use a pot so I can tell if this will actually increase the skill. I assume the Magic menu will tell you similar information for a caster class. With sneak, picking & theft there is nothing numerical I know to look at and compare. Any help would be appreciated.

First of all please let me thank all the modders whose work I have enjoyed. I have searched through the forums & files here as well as planet elder scrolls, have not found anything that matches the description of what I'm looking for. I would like to modify the character to be left-handed. I would settle for this only working in first person view. I do not know anything about modding myself, so I have no idea about the difficulty. Considering how many truly amazing mods there are for this game, it seems to me that it is possible. Thank you in advance for anyone willing to start this project or point me in the right direction if it has already been done.
