if your alchemy perks are all in about 5000 gold each when you create a fortify health potion. ask the jarl in whiterun for some jobs. it alternates between killing bandits and giants. there is also a farm near whiterun you can harvest wheat for nothing. back to whiterun and use the alchemy table in arcadia's cauldron. your alchemy skills will go through the roof. you might also want to try fortify carry weight, invisibility and slow.

It is 94mb on the PS3

A big long list of updates

Uploads are definitely faster especially between scenes. Still spotted a small lag - but I didn't generally find it laggy - and no even less so.

You got a slim then Trout? They seem to not suffer the lag so much due to newer hdd I think. I guess I will have to buy this now that the update is out

1. To ensure the fastest jump in performance after applying the patch, be sure to first create a new manual save by entering the save menu and choosing “save game.” You should then restart your PlayStation 3 before continuing to play.

2. If you encounter strange behavior while playing immediately following application of the patch, do not be alarmed – this is a temporary effect of Skyrim scripts correcting themselves after the update. Once this process runs its course, be sure to make a new save and restart your PlayStation 3.

Top stuff. I'll give that a go. It would be useful to carry more as my last two followers have walked straight in front of me as I was unleashing a power attack and died on the spot, holding items I really needed, resulting in a rather slow walk to one of my homes.

you have three alternatives here.

1. use your level up to give yourself more stamina. in my experience you will not need that much magic later on in the game if you have gone down the fighter route and if you get your enchanting skills set up with the double perk, you can effectively enchant a ring, a necklace, some armour and some gauntlets each with the 25 - 28% less magic to cast so in theory your all your spells should be nil to cast. i have 4 sets of rings and necklaces and have enchanted my dragon armour and gauntlets. I also carry 2 sets of iron armour and gauntlets as well. this allow me to cast all forms of magic at no cost to me just by switching rings, necklaces, armour and gauntlets.

2. get yourself a horse. no weight restriction there. even better get "Shadowmere" during the dark brotherhood questline. he is yours to keep after you finish. unkillable horse, that is faster and more hardy than normal horses. oh , and he will attack anything for you, even dragons and those red eyes, he just looks really mean. he will follow you about even if you fast travel to places.

3. get the heavy or light armour perk that means your armour weighs nothing while worn.

stu, what are the controls like on the PC version. is it all done with the mouse? or a combo of mouse and keyboard, i suspect the latter.
