Coming from Oblivion scripting? It's going to be this new object based system, and with no autodetect typos to boot. I forsee an army of functions to learn along with their limitations and conditions on which they will crash Skyrim. Burdening other people by pestering them with my noob questions and all this restarting Skyrim with trial and error, with 95% of it being error. Ah well, time to adjust my attitude. Is there a "for dummies" for Skyrim scripting to help bypass some blood sweat and tears?

I'd start by bookmarking http://www.creationkit.com/Category:Papyrus as you'll no doubt be visiting it often. Also, lurking in the Creation Kit forum may provide insight.
