First of all, thank you for now hazing the [censored] out of me.

Second thank you! I wondered what the two bars above stamina and magicka were....
And last yes this is my first elder scrolls game, Im kind of said that I didnt play the previous ones, but so far skyrim is absolutely addicting.
No problem

As i said, everyone needs help sometimes and what you do with Soul Gems and what to do when you find an Enchanted weapon once it loses its Enchantment is'nt immediately apparent.
I hope you don't think i was being an ass when i wrote "Is this your first Elder Scrolls game?" I just read it back and it does'nt look very nice! Thats what i get for trying to ask/say too many things at once!

I know what you mean about Skyrim being addictive. Although i've been playing these games since the second one, Daggerfall, i've NEVER been this addicted to any game.
You should check out the wiki's on the Elder Scrolls and on Skyrim in particular. Its easy to find out about all the game mechanics without spoiling the quests.
I've got the official Bethesda guide for this game. It covers every aspect of this game extensively and would be excellent for learning how these/this games work.
The guide is'nt perfect though. Some of it's info is wrong, for istance some of the potion recipe ingredients are wrong, etc.
I got it as it was included as part of the promotion for the PS3 Collectors Edition but it would be of great use to someone like yourself who's playing an Elder Scrolls game for the first time as it would give you a clear understanding of the mechanics of the game, also, its not very expensive.
I live in Scotland and my local branch of GAME is selling the guide for around £10/12.
If you need anymore help/info just let me know, i'll be glad to help
