I love the fact that I'm not limited to the locked down roles you're stuck with in online games due to "Balance" so my character is a mix of things that aren't usually allowed together on one character. Sword / Shield / Bow Heavy armor Stealth (sneak attack from a distance with a bow is awesome before taking the rest head on) lock picking armor crafting with a light touch of self healing

LOL It's on my list of TODO's once I get a house in another town. So far I've been following the "don't sh*% where you live" rule.

Skyrim won't allow me to be at my most evil. The bugs in Markarth annoyed me so much that I wanted to wipe the entire city. There are a couple NPC's in that city that you simply cannot kill.

Yup thats the bug. I even tried to go into the console and "cheat" to get rid of my bounty and that didn't work. This is the last thing I can think of short of completely starting over.

I chose Stormcloak last night simply because I've read that there is a chance it will fix the Markarth Bug that is essentially preventing me from doing anything in that city. I had to cut my gaming short last night to come to work today but I've got my fingers crossed it works.

I had this exact same thing happen after the patch. The only thing I had done so far was to modify the .EXE file to run as administrator because it reduced the times that my game would CTD. I changed the EXE file back to run as normal and the game now starts rather than looping back to the launcher. However the crashing now occurs more often and the game itself loads noticeably slower than it previously did. Really wish i had a saved version of the original EXE because this "patch" is crap.
