So, I have been playing now for about 65 hours (finished main Quest and just about to finish Civil War). Resently found out how to use poison potions and now just figured out how to use Spell Books. Up untill now I have just been collecting them on my bookshelf. I even have the Official Strategy Guide and have been to IGN's guide and here almost every day and never seen how to use them. I alway thought that you can only use each spell book once. I spent a good 2 hours just going to diff. cities to find someone to teach me new spell (I only have Heal and Flame, the first 2 you start with). I guess my next playthrough will be 10 time more awsome. Don't I feel STUPID!

As in real life, in-game reading has its benefits.

On the plus side, your melee and archery skills must be pretty buff.

Yeah, my One-Handed is about 90 and my Block is about 75. And I now don't have to carry my Dwarven Great Sword that had Soul Trap on it just to fill gems. I can just use the spell

lol thats almost classic... I too had to think real hard about the Spell Tombs, didn't know they were the ONLY way (other than some characters giving you a spell) that you learn spells

I put 200+ hours into both Morrowind and Oblivion.. and poisoned a weapon for the first time ever in Skyrim.

Poison ain't my cup of tea. punz

I just now learned that 1/5 of a perk means there are more levels to that perk. I thought it meant other perks on the tree relating to that perk.

Yeah, feeling like a no-stars lately...

I didn't know you could wait until about 70 hours in.

Tool me 70+ levels to figure out how to auto move using the c key on PC. Same amount of time to figure out I could use caps lock to walk...

Lot easier to follow npcs now, I feel dumb.

I found a word wall for Become Ethereal, and after killing the dragon that was at Kynesgrove, thought I would test out my new shout. So, I click on it, and it tells me I neeed a dragon soul to unlock a shout. I clicked it a few more times, and it kept telling me I needed a soul. I didnt even see the "Press R to unlock" I thought it would be automatic, but it is better that you get to pick what you want to use it on.

This thread made me happy that you didn't try to blame bethesda for you making a mistake.

Funny story though haha i bet your next chracter will be a mage
