About enchantments - Yes, they're silly. I didn't realize how easy it is to make an overpowered set of armor and weapons. And because of that, I've decided not to enchant anything.
I should note that holding down the Z makes all the shouts you have more powerful, in case you weren't fully aware of that yet
But good to hear you learned something new
-I personally just spent a lot of time stacking stuff in my house in solitude and getting my deadric armor up to full specs. Now I just need to utilize my 100 in illusion to see what I can get of powerful spells in the area. (I received it with ease by firing calm from a cliff down in a forsworn camp.. hitting more than one as a time gave me almost a entire point just for one throw).
A side note: I checked the bug section on the Skyrim wiki I use and found no mention of a bug with equip, though I did find a lot of other bugs I've by pure luck seem to have avoiced by doing the workaround from the start or following a good order of solving quests.
could use a little more color and a little less LotR "references" or "homages"
(or what I call poor excuse for plagiarism)
But... They're still there?
Just not the same ones as in Oblivion. 200 years have passed, after all, trends changed and all. They say stuff like "SKYRIM BELONGS TO THE NORDS!", "I'LL SEE YOU BURN!", "You remind me of my cousin's cat. Killed that, too!", "You'll make a fine rug, cat!", etc.
Except this time, they're actually related to your race and such. The last two are Khajiit only. I know that orcs have something like "Die, you Orc filth!" or something because my friend plays an orc. I guess they have a line for everyone. I guess they don't say "SKYRIM BELONGS TO THE NORDS!" if you're a Nord yourself, too.
At least, that's my experience with bandits and conjurers\mages\necromancers.
@Talavaj - Only Markrath is actually gray. And it also depends on the weather and such. There could be a bright, sunny day, and then Markarth will be all yellowy and golden, at least on medium-high graphics.
You need to learn two or three words of a shout in order to be able to channel it. For instance, you start with "Fus", but later you will find a stone that will teach you "Ro"(alternatively, the Greybeards do the same thing, I think), and finally "Dah". If you press the button to shout for just a short while, you'll get only "Fus". If you hold it for a little longer, you'll get "Fus Ro". If you hold it for even longer, it'll be "Fus Ro DAH!". The same applies to all shouts(Marked for Death, Whirlwind Sprint, Frost Breath, Elemental Fury - Those I can confirm.)
BTW, anyone else finding Elemental Fury EXTREMELY awesome? It's the main reason I don't want to enchant my weapons(doesn't work on enchanted weapons). I mean, I can pretty much kill anything with it, from bandit to dragon, assuming I don't die... And potions seem to do the job just fine.
bound sword with perk in conjuration is equal to glass sword (14 damage) however it has no enchants and upgraded swords via smithing are much better
Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, go play Skyrim on low graphic, all settings low, put resolution to 800x600 and texture quality to whatever you want and go and play. I can show you that every fuc*ing place is gray, few aren't on lower graphics.
and i have to talk with somegirl in tavern, but i really don't know, someone who played, is main storyline fun ? If not i'm not gonna do it.
cause on all bethesda games you can't continue playing
and yeah:
also Markarth is more than inspired after the Helms Deep, it even has the grate that was the weakest spot of the Helms deep
Whiterun's emblem is very reminiscent of the flag of Rohan
and the tree is pretty much the white tree of Gondor from Minas Tirith
well... errr let's not call it "plagiarism" but "homage" then, that will sound less derogatory
but they could be a little more original in making original homages
fail troll is fail
that line is obviously not related to the picture above, that's Whiterun not Markarth (it's even written on the pic ffs, seriously did you think I'm that dumb ?Talavaj said:

this is what I meant
pretty epic city, not so apparent LotR influence as Whiterun but yeah, it's my favourite out of Skyrim's towns second being Falkreath (damn lazy devs not allowing me to buy a property there, I hope they will put some via patch or something...)
too bad Markarth is rotten
at lvl 48 I have around 65 hours playtime, and around 20% of my map is still hidden, not to mention I ran into a couple of locked dungeons and I have no thane title other than the Whiterun one
hence "And now I got nowhere to go aww." is not very credible
fuck...!!! dam thieves guild quests are bugged for me =\ i cant go inside this dudes house cause it was destroyed during the war.... it was the last trophy i needed to get platinum
dam... =\ 114 hours i played, im guessing thats a lot xD
That doesn't fucking look like Helm's Deep to me. 'Nuff said lol.
But hell, I just convert back to original exe every time and apply the user made fixes and play just like before.. wait no, the new patch fucks with the controls making it impossible for me to fast travel.. 
lol, i had the same reaction when i saw that...
Btw, for all those Skyrim <=> Middle Earth guys
