Well, we've been playing different games then

I haven't seen other thieves rob people, or others in dungeons so far. And I haven't seen thieves rob me either

Strangely, different people do indeed have different experences here. I've seen some thieving, and seen some other cave explorers. As for having anyone steal from you, that isn't in the game, was apparently removed for balance.

I was in Bravil yesterday, and saw a guard chasing City-Swimmer (an argonian thief NPC) around town with a drawn sword. I ran after them for a while. The guard would take a swing whenever he'd get close enough, and Swimmer would take off running again. Eventually the argonian ducked into an inn, the guard pursued, and both immediately came back out with the chase over. Apparently going into the inn reset the AI. I've seen City-Swimmer sneaking around Bravil before after another NPC, so I think she does pickpocket people.

Yeah, like I said earlier, I saw her get killed by a guard in my game. She clearly does something to piss people off...

I saw one of the wine guys (Shameer?) sneak, and then pickpocket someone

guards were called and started attacking him, and he ran off...

I entered the city in the hope of saving him, and was successful (I saw him later)

Also, is it just me, or does every Dunmer female seem to have a thing for necrophillia?

Only the alchemist in Skingrad, as far as I know.

[Jon Miller]

nah, there is another one up in the top right... (was the first one who said it to me...)

Myabe if you become a vampire you should go visit them.

I have played a bit around with several builds and classes and will now mainly play with 2 builds. Both are custom classes.

The first is a Mystic Warrior, a fighter with Blade, Block, Heavy Armor, Weaponsmithing, Restoration, Illusion and Mystics as main skills. He's a Breton with The Mage as birthsign. He represents the good side of me. He'll be a loyal agent of the new imperator and faithful Blade knight, focus on the main quest, never steal or murder and blah.

Heh that's almost exactly the character I played through with, although I admit I gritted my teeth and did all the nasty daedra quests as well as the nice ones.

I've heard some people level in their mage skills just by summing a creature, starting a fight with your summed creature and then wasting it with spells. Alternately you could start a fight and just do nothing but block to build up your block skill (maybe armor skill as well if you don't block well), and you can build up your healing skills by healing yourself after the fight.

Once I got up a few levels I went and played with mudcrabs if I wanted to practice blocking and armor skills. They didn't do much damage and a couple of crabs can hit very fast if you're wedged against a rock so you dont get knocked back so your skill improves rapidly

Bingo. This ain't Morrowind's pathfinding. If you run, Umbra WILL get you... she's insanely fast as well, so you have to have a strategy in mind while running.

Another question... Sometimes I get notices on the top of my screen saying some of my stats have been 'damaged'. They stayed red for a long time, till I accidentally checked my stats again much later on and suddenly everything was okay again. Why's that? And why do some stats get damaged? (I'm pretty sure it wasn't because of a disease or something)

[snoopy369]

"Damage X" is permanent, as opposed to "Drain X". You probably went to a temple, those clear any maladies including damaged stats.

Why are all females in this game butt-ugly? I tried to create a female character and spent a lot of time to get her so-so, although far from being pretty. On the forum I saw some shots of halfway cute girl characters, and their creators admitted, that they spent hours to get her this way.

[Silver14]

So are you saying some of the guys are cute?
