While walking to my car today I saw some blue flowers by the sidewalk and thought to myself, "I think those are thistles, I should harvest them".
What are you guys doing for crafting skills? I haven't done anything since I haven't really needed to. I was thinking about maybe enchanting?
Depends on your race and playstyle mostly. Magic should lean towards alchemy and enchanting. Warriors, Archers, etc. should rely on Smithing and Smelting. Cooking is not worth the time or the money.
I dont think cooking is a skill? Plus I believe all skills benefits all classes. Mages could always use jewelry or maybe light armor bracers and shoes. melee classes could always use poison and enchants
As a fire mage you should definitely level enchanting. You can level alchemy if you want to increase some stats like magicka regen, etc... but if your enchanting is high enough you won't even need that. Get your enchanting high and start making some pieces that 'Fortify Destruction'. It will lower the magicka cost for your fire spells to the point you'll be able to throw as much as you need and not run out before they're dead.

How much is not having an ideal build going to hurt me? I'm at level 9 now with a high elf dual wielding warrior. Starting stats were 150 mag, 100 health, 100 sta and are now 150 mag, 160 health, 120 sta. Things still seem easy enough. I make sure to give lydia no weapon so I've basically turned her into an archer. "Killed" my first dragon since the initial one outside whiterun. Lydia did most of the work while I cowered in the corner.
A dual-wielding warrior with more Magicka than stamina and the same amount of health is... interesting. The game is kind of too easy (you can crank the difficulty), so you may not have problems, but I'll leave that to others who have gotten a lot further than I have to answer. I just hit level 10 and Lydia and I just obliterated a dragon. My 2nd dragon kill since the first one. The previous one I posted screenshots of where I took out the Giant and Dragon that were battling one another was killed when I was around level 8. The most recent one wasn't even close. I was never really in that much danger. I'm going to start hunting those suckers. lol.
So, just had one of those moments like DOD. up in a snowy mountain, near windhelm, a Giant and a Dragon were fighting. I watched and then jumped in. Then some giant cat thing joined. Lydia was hit by the giant and flew like 500 feet into the air, and then he hit me and I did the same...instant death. but after the respawn, things worked out. Destroyed the Dragon, stayed away from the Giant.
that's what I thought until I wondered out of the comfort zone and encountered two frost trolls... Was not good. The farther you wonder the tougher the fight... saber cats anyone? level 14 dark elf with stealth bows single hand weapon and destruction btw
Damn this game is addicting. Went through the Companions story arc and now going through the Thieves guild. Trying to make my wood elf a badass archer (archery at level 80) and I'm only at level 25. Smithing and smelting will be what I'm good at. Is anyone keeping their dragon bones/scales? I heard if you max out smithing, you can make a sweet dragon scale/bone armor.
in all the elder scrolls games I'm a digital hoarded so yea... I have just recently got involved in smelting amour making/all that ****
Whats the best apparel to wear when you go around sneaking to steal and kill silently? Cuz i usually just make the guy naked and give him a dagger rofl
If you join the thieve's guild you're given a set of light armor with bonuses useful to thieves (carry capacity, lockpicking, pickpocketing). http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Thieves_Guild_Outfit
