Oh! I have a few spells in the favourites menu, but I had no idea that Hotkeys existed. I will try it out. And the armour-rising spells from the Alteration school as well; I hope they will help me.

Uhmm... I hope this doesn't sound too stupid but my character is a complete weakling... I am trying to play as a pure mage (with just a few perks at pickpocketing; to pickpocket some of my teachers), but it just doesn't seem to work. At first, I used only Destruction - my character would easily get defeated when enemies came near to me... Then I started using Conjuration and Illusion... And I got to level 41, with Master Illusion Spells and Expert level Destruction Spells; even so, I'd still get owned in a shot or a two (I keep some distance, but many use bows). Then, after completing Discerning the Transmundane, I even utilized the Oghma Infinium glitch -> now all my "Shadow" and Magic skills are on 100 and my level is currently 67 or 68; however, I don't seem to have improved. The Master Level Destruction Spells need too much time to charge and although I use the "Become Ethereal" shout in order to charge them without getting hurt, as soon as I become solid I get killed before even striking the enemy... I don't want to use God Mode or something like that, so I decided to ask how exactly you are playing. Warriors with maces and battle-axes aren't a problem, but those who use bows or long-ranged magic are a big threat to my character... My Magicka is around 700 because of some clothing and rings, so I don't usually run out of Magicka easily; the Health is exactly 300; Stamina - 100. Furthermore, while in a fight, I don't really fight, but go through the menus in order to find the appropriate spell or to find a way to heal myself in order to stay alive a bit longer. I think to get myself some bow and try using it because everyone says bows do the most damage and it's easiest to play like that. However, while NPCs deal more than 150 damage to me using bows, I can rarely even hit them and when I do, the damage is around 70-80... If sneaking, a bit more, of course, but still... So, what do I do in order to be able to own all types of enemies and not just skeevers and wolfs?!

I've completed the quest given to me by the Aretino boy and then I received a "Mysterious Note". The next time I went to bed, I woke up in some bloody shack with that woman standing over me. And she asked me to eliminate one of the three captives. I heard I can also kill her, but then I will have to destroy the Dark Brotherhood. I do not really support the idea of becoming the bad guy, but I have already joined the Thieves Guild, so... Anyway, what I'm interested in is what I will get if I join them. I have only heard about getting some really good horse and that I will have to kill the "Emperor"... Who in Oblivion is he?... MOST IMPORTANTLY, I'm going to become an assassin and I suppose I will have to kill a lot of people. Will that interrupt with my further game experience? Am I to kill people that could give me quests otherwise?

Err, first of all, excuse me if this is not the right place to post the topic, I'm new here... And, well, the problem is... All my followers' morality is set to "No Crime" and thus they will not even open a door for me. So I decided to use the Creation Kit to change their morality to "Any Crime". However, after doing the necessary changes, how exactly do I save them? I thought I had saved something because in the main menu of the game, in the "Data Files", the "saved" file was there and I enabled it, along with the two DLCs, but that did not seem to help. No one wanted to steal anything for me or to attack whoever it may be... So, how do I edit the NPCs? I'm not trying to do something that difficult, just a simple alteration. Please, give me some advice.
