Hold on a minute, You mean i can manually swing my pickaxe? 1000 hours & i never knew that until today.
The map rotates sideways a bit, never knew that either, Fook!

It's a magnificent day for discovery.

Experimentation is key to any good RPG game. If they tell you everything you can do, its not as fun as discovering it for yourself.

OH MY GOD!
Why do I not know these things!

Because the instruction manual is useless, especially for those on pc, as there are many keyboard commands that aren't mentioned.

My husband has just discovered that jumping in puddles makes the water move.

He is also in a dilemma over eating his large antlers.... does the choking hazard outweigh the experience earned....

He is cracking me up.

Yes, I can't imagine eating many of the alchemy ingredients, like antlers, bone meal, and some of the more disgusting ingredients.

I still have an aversion to trying out a human heart for alchemy, I dunno why.

I gave my buddy a loan of the 360 version for a fortnight and deliberately didnt tell him a thing about the game so he could experience it on his own. Two weeks later and I find out that he still has not found a town yet, not even riverwood. And he is overloaded in junk like lanterns and linen wraps.

That's hilarious!

I've been playing TES games since Arena, but when I first saw the river in Skyrim I jumped in and caught every fish I could find all the way to Riverwood. Then I discovered insects...

Seriously my first character was grabbing everything he could. I didn't even know what to do with the stuff but that didn't matter.

Bear traps are great in places where enemies are sleeping. Sneak and put traps beside their bed than retreat to the other side of the room and make a noise. I did it with 3 of them once thinking that at least one would get him but he managed to step on all 3 and died.

Oh my god. This is genius. I must find bandits forthwith!

When I made my character eat a giant toe for alchemy, there was this awful crunching noise you get sometimes. Made me turn a nasty shade of green irl...
