    Both started through conversation options marked with brawl at the end of them. You auto switch to your fists and then proceed to beat the **** out of them. You should stop when they drop to their knees though unless you want a murder and what comes with it :D

    Massive trek to Saarthal for the Forbidden Legends quest, the place needs a key :(

    Was a good journey getting there though, I've seen its a mages guild quest to get access to this place is it?

    Has anyone else encountered the headless horseman? Is he part of a quest or something?

    Actually yes i came across him on my first hour of the game just outside a town (cant remember where) i was walking on the path at night and a ghostly horseman came at me, tried to talk as he flew by but he didnt stop!

    Forgot about that!

    nirnroot is where it's at ;)

    Edit: and almost 20 hours in and I only just discovered that if you dual wield weapons you get a nice 3 hit combo if you hold down both triggers

    Stamina is used for power attacks, probably more used to guys using double handed weapons. I just can't use them at all no matter how awesome some look, just way too slow to fight with.

    Ive been using close damage magic most of the time so end up getting myself in tricky situations..

    Need to buy more spells.. I'm reluctant to coz I'm such a tighta$$ thatI'm afraid I'll be annoyed if I find a spell tome for a spell that I already paid to learn!!

    I would never dual wield weapons as it would require to much stamina.. I have a one handed weapon on standby at all times just incase!! :D

    Only if they get up again :pac:

    There are a few stamina reduction perks that help as you develop a two armed warrior build as well, I have just got the first one myself.

    EDIT: You're talking Mages so not really relevant :)

    She is helpful for carrying stuff, especially if you are not adding points to stamina which lets you carry more.

    Finally defeated Hagraven after a lot of hit and miss attempts. Once you get close to him he'll stop shooting those awful fireballs, then it's just mash-the-face-out-of-him time.

    Do your companions stay dead if they get killed or do they revive themselves? I was down in some dungeon with a Giant Frostbite Spider, every time I told Jenassa to wait she tried to be a hero, and got herself killed. (Luckily he got stuck in a door so I managed to snipe at him with arrows) Eventually told her to wait really far away so I wouldn't have to worry about her, was paranoid that she'd be gone for good if she died.

    Anyone ever encountered those Wispmothers on the mountains? Thought I'd try my luck but I got my face ripped off by them...just about Level 6 now so maybe I need to buff up a bit.

    Oh man, I just love this game so much :D

    I don't know if it's just easy difficulty, but Lydia can simply not die unless I decide to have a moment of lulz (usually near a running stream or cliff top :pac:)

    We got in to one spot of bother where I hid in a log cabin while she got pounded by 4 archers and only ever dropped to her knees for a minute at most (I know that sounds scarily like innuendo :D)

    The restoration wards block magic, and there's 30% magic resistance as perks in the Alteration Tree.

    As for items, there are potions but I don't think there are any enchants.
