Does anyone know if smithing equipment at Skyforge in Whiterun gives better stats than at other forges?
Also, it's tough to find blacksmith potions... but if anyone is doing smithing, be sure to quaff one for an instant 20% boost to the stats of anything you smith. Only lasts 30 seconds, so plan your smithing and have all required components ready to go.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
There never was a more satisfying slitting a throat scene than the one produced from sneaking behind the fool I mentioned in my previous post...
Assuming the ingredients aren't overly difficult to locate, you could make the potion yourself.Originally Posted by Animeniax
I also used to think the saber tooths are difficult opponents but when I was killing one giant by shooting and running, as luck would have it, I encountered not one but two saber tooths while being chased by the angry giant. I froze the first one with a Shout, then offed the second in mere moments with a nice impaling animation. I don't even know how I killed it so easily and fast. I should find one on purpose to see if it was only fool's luck.
Mediocre Daedric quest spoiler: I happened to perform the Sanguine quest and goddam the fire mage was more difficult than any other opponent I'd faced so far. I really need to acquire fire resistance in some form, though I don't know how much it would have helped unless the percentage was really high.

I've sampled pretty much every ingredient I've seen in the game (I'm lvl33 now) and didn't find one that said it could help with skills, only stats and spell effects.
Depends on what you didn't like about Oblivion. If you don't like open world RPGs in a D&D type world, then you won't like Skyrim.

If you feel like going through lots of ingredients (perhaps with a save-load cycle) mixing potions at random will reveal more effects than just eating raw samples.
Slave? You mean something beyond the normal daedric quests? Doesn't sound too tempting to become a slave. Especially of a Prince of Oblivion. The quests, at least the three I've tasted so far, are more involving and longer than those in Oblivion.Has anyone become a slave of a daedric god yet? I turned down my only offer so far. Had to kill two daedric minions, but then it wouldn't let me loot their armor.
I don't think so, but I made my Daedric Bow there just to be sure.
It lets you forge Nordic weapons if you finish the Companion questline. Plentiful to make with ancient nord weapons and steel ingots...but they're not that good.
