Side note. I've been blasting hawks out of the air like crazy lately. ****ers.

There are hawks? Is that where all the hawk feathers come from? I need to look up at the sky during the day at some point in time...

Trying to think of things I am going to do on my second playthrough:

1. 2-handed
2. Side with the Empire
3. Destroy the Dark Brotherhood

I am doing 1 and 2.

I still haven't encountered the Dark Brotherhood in either playthrough.

I'm siding with the companions this time through though.

You're going to be a progressive Nord? That's cool.

I'm going to be an Orc, but mainly for the berserker trait.

can't you just soul trap enchant a POS 2-hander and then hotkey your weapons?

when something is about to die switch to the soul trap weapon

It's what i do with my bow before i blast it with dual fireballs.

You can, it's just a massive pain in the ass, IMO.

yea, it is.

Largely because of the clunky ass interface they made to fit the game for both consoles and PC. I keep hoping somebody makes a toolbar mod or a 'switch weapon' button.

Because hitting one switch weapon button is better than hitting 1 after a fight to equip your enchanted bow, and 2 after you shoot them once to switch to what you will kill them with?

Not seeing the big worries of the switching attacks around. The 1-8 keys work just dandy for me for bow, big dmg spell, whatever melee weapon I'm using, dual casted healing, and some random lower level spells that I just never un-hotkeyed.

Rep.

My Orc is sick.

I love having a pure-warrior. Magic is cool, but slicing the **** out of everyone you see is even cooler.

damn it, stole a horse and tried to climb it up a mountain and it fell and of course I get the slow death sequence, **** and I waited too long to save.

But it was on a mission to make a kill for the dark brotherhood, the best part :)

So are you supposed to go to jail?

Yeah, you broke the quest.
