Yeah, I ended up having a quest where I was escorted by a dog to some shrine, and then had to go somewhere with the dog. So I mounted my horse, and the dog seemed to try that as well, and in the process ended up flinging himself 200 foot up into the air. When he eventually returned to me, he could no longer decide which direction was up.

Oof. That's one of the Daedric items quests, too.

I think my time on horseback is measurable in seconds rather than minutes... just haven't found a need. Although I must admit it is useful having that special horse you may or may not come across following you around because he's hard as nails in a fight and distracts all the enemy attention from you.

Main quest completed.
Where's my massive party?

Aww there isn't one? I was hoping for something like the sing-a-long bit at the end of shrek.

Can you continue the game after the main quest is completed?

Yeah. Nothing really changes aside from having one extra shout. Makes you wonder why you bothered.

Where is the best place for me to flog my shitton of stuff I've gotten so far? it's magical items, mostly.

I always go to Whiterun, you have 4 shops to sell items at.

Best thing for selling is to do all the thieves guild stuff. Gives you 4 buyers in the guild and one in each of the bigger towns with 4K each. Also most of the mages in Winterhold will buy magical stuff.

There's Crimson ones underground!

Is there a pattern to fighting dragons? Or are they random encounters? I'd just left this one place and BLAMMO! there's a sky lizard wanting a fight. My conjured familiar can't fly, so it got taken down with a conjured fire thing from someone and arrows. And then I stuck an axe in its head for good measure.

I think it's a mix. Some dragons are set on the map and you'll get an icon if they are near by or you'll see them flying around. I've been through a dry spell them book 8 dragon fights in a day as I walked from one side of the map to the other. I've ran away from some dragon flights thought to come back later.

I hate being charged to hold your Mum.

I hated the whole 'hold to charge, fire on release' part of magic.

I'm smithing dwarvern armour now, then enchanting it with magic regeneration and lower cost of conjugation spells. And making shields with health enchantments. This is going to make my level 13 Orc battle conjurer awesome. Lydia doesn't seem to want to wear much stuff I give her, though. My book says she is heavy armour, block, one handed but I haven't seen much if this.

Buggy Crimson ones underground. I have collected -4 out of 30.

I'm up to 41 or so now. My battle tactics are as follows:

1) Open door
2) Summon Flame Atrniach into room
3) Close door
4) wait for screaming to stop
5) Enter room and loot

Enchanting is quite fun. I disenchanted a ring of 20hp to learn the enchantment, then reenchanted it to give me, um, 2hp. My Orcish Axe is equipped with the soul stealer set to 1 second and I carry around lots of soul gems. It's good fun, give it a bash!

I need to look at taking up some skill levels & perks on enchanting. I've been concentrating on sneak at the moment especially the damage perks

Killed my first Dragon, felt far too easy.
