Please forgive me if someone's already posted this, but 40 pages is a lot to go through... And I just love this bear so much.
Squee~! Thank you Shego!
Yaaay! I'm happy to be a brief source of happiness. =D
Reminds me of a disturbing Spore creature.
Okay, I've stopped laughing now, so here's my question, I've basically finished the main storyline on my first character *stealth sniper type*, I think I'm going to go mage style this time. would I really need to go with enchanting?
In a way it kinda sucked that I peaked Blacksmithing *especially* and enchanting early and whenever I was given these cool reward weapons, I'd look at my forged stuff and just stick the reward items on a rack or mannequin.
Thanks

You don't HAVE to go with enchanting, but after a while you can enchant your own stuff so that your spells are basically free to cast. Like my Conjurer character casts Fireballs at 4 MP a pop. I keep a couple of Dremora Lords hanging around just for the hell of it.
Conjuration is great once you get Expert spells.

I love my new Conjurer. I've made a habit of rezzing whatever the most recently killed enemy was and sending him after his buddies.
I am working on conjuring myself, but as a sneak mage I focused the most on Illusion and Sneak.
What is hilarious, is now that I got Silent Casting and high Sneak, I can attack things with spells from the shadows and they can't fight back, AT ALL. They will wander around looking for me while I hit them in the face with fireballs only a few feet away.

This weekend, I 2-shotted a dragon with arrows from stealth. I'm only level 46. Just got sneak to 100 but archery is still only 80... I've started raising other abilities just for the heck of it (and for added challenge because otherwise everything dies in 1 hit)... even 1 handed, despite my khajit punches doing close to 100 a pop now.

A few things happened last night that have never happened to me before.
- I was sneaking towards a Forsworn camp, sticking to shadows and getting ready to fireball the shit out of them when suddenly Lydia was fucking flattened by a horse falling out of the sky! I looked up and around but there were no dragons flying or anything. I am assuming it was launched by a giant somewhere else but it scared the shit out of me.
- I was fighting a dragon. It was just Lydia and myself with my two conjurer Dremora Lords. I pumped a fireball at it and at the last minute noticed that a new figure had joined the fray. Too late. The fireball went off and aggroed a shit-ton of guardsmen who had approached from the other side. I sheathed my weapons but the Dremora were already in bloodlust so I had no choice but to fight. Then Lydia told me to fuck off & left with a full set of Dragonplate gear. Bitch.
- I died for the first time in 10 levels or so - I'm level 30 or so. I shouted a hunter off the edge of a cliff, giggling gleefully. I went to the edge to watch her bounce and my fucking Dremora decided he wanted to watch also, but in the same place I was standing. Pushed me off of the edge. At least I think that's how it happened. One minute I was on the edge looking down, the next I was falling. Looking back al I could see was his stupid face staring down at me.
Each time I do the battle for Whiterun, Lydia will not come along. Only to find her days later in the house or keep there.

Does it matter which side you pick? (I've only done the battle for whiterun once and didn't have a follower at the time)
Actually Alea left during one of those battles. So it may just drop you companions during the major battles that have the dialogue at the end.

Ah. I noticed in several thief guild missions Illia would just not follow me into certain doors/caves... and would just magically reappear when I left. Maybe that's it.
Yeah, Dave, sounds to me like you tagged Lydia with some AE.
