I'm with the natives, over an empire in any situation. They didn't have any problems letting my Orc join them, who just wanted to smash some Imperial skulls. The beginning of the game, they accuse me of being a Stormclock and are about to behead me for it. Fine, I will let them maintain that notion, and I will make them regret that.

How can you compare liking My Little Pony to thinking that lizard people are real or holding racist beliefs? MLP fans aren't horrible people or out of touch with reality. Plus, other people liking non-normative things does not justify racism or any other kind of bigotry, nor does it mean we have to listen to the conspiracy theorists of the world.
I'm not justifying anything, or comparing anything. Only suggesting that such a fascination might reflect negatively on you in the real world.
Well, liking MLP shouldn't reflect negatively. An adult who likes cartoons might be nostalgic, eccentric, or maybe a child at heart--you can't say for sure. However, an adult who likes cartoons should not automatically be judged as creepy or otherwise bad--it's more likely than not that they just like cartoons, and are actually entirely harmless to children. Liking cartoons is not a sign of paedophilia. It is not a sign of being a perpetual adolescent, either.
I like some cartoons. I still watch South Park, Family Guy, Simpsons. And I never brought up the pedophilia word in this discussion. Bringing up a funny South Park episode is something you can talk to the guys at work about, and chances are some of them saw it too. MLP? Not so much.

Are you telling me you played though the game far enough to get shadowmere, without doing fast travel to a location via the map?

Try closing the game and reloading? Did you equip a bunch of gear that gives - cost to spells? Its possible to cast spells for free with the right equipment.

Make sure you select a Grand/Black soul gem.
Oh and you need enchanting 100, and it being perked out before you can get good bonuses.
When you disenchant something you learn that enchantment type, not the particular number or % it gives.

I'm having no problems at all with crashing, and I didn't give skyrim any more ram than what it normally uses. Although I got 16GB of ram on this PC.

I'm glad I run the .exe directly and am not even using steam so I didn't get this horrific patch downloaded automatically. I'm gonna wait for the REAL patch before I update anything.

He is talking about one of the Dragon Priest masks with 100% magic regen, its unique.

I'm gonna try an archer character next, after that I'm done for awhile, at least until some DLC/Mods come out.

Smiths carry them around level 25+ or so. Just buy them.

When you perform a shadow warrior you enable yourself to 100% sneak attack for about 2 ~ 3 seconds.
You can dual wield daggers and with silent assassin you get 15x damage during a sneak attack for each dagger. They will also stack with the one hand weapon perks which grand another 2x multi and with the backstap ability (another 2x multi) of the dark brotherhood gloves, and of course you can add another 4x 40% more one hand damage with enchanted items, that is even without using the fortify enchantment potion exploit.
Then of course you can add two 31 elemental damage enchantments per Daedric dagger which in my case already has 54 power.
Too bad the shadow warrior time limit is too small for a power attack that would grant another 50% bonus but is prone to fail.
Anyway I can one hit ancient dragons like that...
All that effect stacking is kinda OP...
The 40% 1 handed bonuses don't work on daggers. Its pretty well known. And there is a damage cap that is lower than the amount of health an Ancient dragon has, which means its impossible to 1hko one by normal means. I reached damage cap with a 2h power attack with a War hammer. How do I know this? Because berserker rage which is supposed to double damage, gets me absolutely no extra damage. Also critical charge does absolutely no more damage over a regular power attack, but if I equip a weaker weapon it does more. That means I reached damage cap. And it takes 3 power attacks to down an ancient dragon at level 60ish, with or without any buffs, seeing as how any buffs get me no damage gains. Also with berserker rage, normal attacks do the exact same damage as power attacks, which means I can reach cap with normal and power attacks.
Dual wield maces would be the best possible DPS. Also the ignore armor perks with maces/warhammer is very significant. I tested this comparing damage with a Greatsword, to a Warhammer, and the war hammer hits for almost twice as much damage with a normal attack on a dragur deathlord than the sword does. And the same would apply to swords compared to maces. Mobs have higher armor rating than you think, especially in the 60+ range.

That is basically a glitch, you may as well just type tcl in the console and no clip up the mountain. Don't see much a difference in exploiting a glitch and using the console.

So what? People don't care. Just because I and many other guys like to watch a little girls TV show doesn't mean anything about our maturity or have a hidden obsession with kids. The fact that some have a problem is something which they need to deal with; it's not my problem. Besides this show appeals to adults and doesn't patronises girls, which is a good thing.
Well enjoy your little girls TV show then. Someone bought up a topic asking a question and I gave my 2 cents, and I'm not asking you to agree with me.

Yes, I wouldn't be surprised if they release the Skyrim patch and THEN the Creation Kit...which will only work with the patched version...thus leaving most of the pirates out in the cold. LOL
It would be great if it actually worked like that, but unfortunately the pirates will get the patches eventually.
There is plenty of exemples with steam pirated games getting updates like a week after it goes out, see what s going on with football manager...
The 360 version was leaked about a week before release, PC version was leaked/crack by the 10th. Unfortunately pirates got to play the game before the people that pre-ordered it.

All I am suggesting is certain behavior is going to be looked at strangely by most. There is no social norm set in stone. It all depends on your peers/family/friends/neighbors. If people are more comfortable expressing themselves on the internet than they are in real life, then there certainly is a problem.
I believe that on the internet the virtue of not being face to face with actual people emboldens them to express views and predilections that would they otherwise might think twice about expressing to someone they might need to have an ongoing social interaction with. There might be no social norm set in stone but in the real world there are social conventions that must be dealt with, whether fair or unfair they exist. I might truly believe that creatures from Andromeda walk among us and on the internet I could shout it out, but if I did the same while having cocktails with my neighbors they would be right in thinking I'm a tad off the wall.
I agree with that. Its not socially acceptable to be a racist, but many still hold those beliefs at heart, but just don't spout them out or let everyone know.

The best spells for doing damage are all conjuration spells. Summon Dremora Lord, and Dead Thrall. Both of those are far more useful than destruction magic. In the later levels Dead Thrall is better than Dremora Lord, because the enemies you raise are also a higher level. Dremora Lords have a set level but they are still effective even at level 50. The only problem with dead thrall is it doesn't work on the most powerful types of humans, etc Arch Necromancers. Perhaps a mod can fix that. Dead thrall is permanent BTW, I had some dead thralls assisting me in several dungeons, and if they die you can raise them back. Even found a master conjurer that would summon Dremora lords to raise as a dead thrall. Very good.

There are standards in society that are set by the majority as to what a social norm is
Wait, what? Did everybody get together at some point and decide by majority vote what the gender norms should be?
It only takes a small portion of a culture to enforce societal norms. And those who enforce most strongly often break the norms themselves (e.g., lawmakers who work against basic human rights for homosexuals despite their own rest-stop-bathroom hookups). So what does it mean to be outside a norm that approximately no one agrees with, and approximately no one is happy with?
Yeah I remember Larry Craig and his footsie in the bathroom stall, but what does that have to do with this?

I mean FULL list. I'm having a lot of trouble finding correct item IDs for quite a few items, mostly simple ingredients and gems.

Is there a mod or a setting to fix the shadows flickering? Seems to happen on any setting. I messed around a lot with different settings and I can't find a way to fix this.

There are standards in society that are set by the majority as to what a social norm is. Nobody has to agree with what the social norm is. But things like this are definitely outside of the social norm, and what is considered socially acceptable by most. In the real world at least, maybe not on gaming forums.

Alright for example, I got a 470ish War Hammer, created within normal crafting limits.
I got 3 attacks I mainly use, normal swings, regular power attacks, and the critical charge, which is supposed to do double critical damage, and it does if I use a weaker weapon. With my current weapon a normal power attack hits for the exact same as critical charge, which does nearly twice as much damage when using an normal steel greatsword over what I do with a normal power attack. Elder dragons at level 62 take 3 power attacks to down, so that is a good foe to test whether or not berserker rage gets me any damage bonus. I found that my power attacks did the EXACT same damage against an elder dragon WITH berserker rage up, as it did with no berserker rage at all. And that my normal attacks did the same damage as a power attack with berserker rage up. There is apparently a cap on how much damage you can do to an enemy in a single hit, I found it but am unsure of the exact number, but my testing proves there is a cap, or I should have been able to 1hko that elder dragon with a critical charge power attack with berserker rage up. Hammers/War hammers also ignore 75% armor, which means they might be more effective for hitting max damage against armored foes, like dragons.
Anyone is free to test this but I am 100% certain there is a damage cap in skyrim.
I also tested 1000 Armor rating, compared to 1800 armor rating, and I noticed no difference in damage taken by giants. So that means armor also has a cap, and that it is rather pointless enchanting heavy armor bonus to equipment because it will get you nothing. Now if you want to do an unarmed damage character, it would be worth it if you perked the unarmed damage based on Armor, in which you can do about 350 damage with an unarmed attack with heavy armor bonus enchanted. In which case you wouldn't need to enchant weapon damage, and could free that up for something else.

The guy below meridia's Shrine apparently had a 500+ damage Ice storm spell that 1hko my level 62 character that also had +40% frost resist, pretty sure it was a glitch. Other than that, I never really had any problems except for a few dragon priest fights with my mage.
Also the Amulet of Saarthal quest, well the end of it is 3 back to back boss fights, pretty tough if you are a mage. The Amulet isn't even that good unless you get it early.
Another thought, if you are a mage and plan on going much past level 50, you better start wearing armor, or risk 1hko by arrows. Mage armor spells just don't hack it.
