I enchanted some jewelry and gloves with fortify alchemy and magicka and it nullified the alchemy...couldn't believe it! I didn't try any other combinations, just went back to straight up alchemy and used enchanter's elixir...now it's back on track, but what a trip that it would do that.

explain? nullified the alchemy? so you ended up not making a potion at all? or it was water? did you meant it nullified the fortification boost?

Yep...I made a few poisons and noticed they were weaker than before (wearing the double enchanted set)...figured it was a glitch or something with the "updates"... I made a new set with only fortify alchemy, and wham! problem solved.
