I knew you'd have made this thread Jonno.
About to start playing for tonight. Lovely game, annoying CTD at times but lovely game.
Spending most of my time finding as many locations as possible without doing many quests. Already up to level 25 though with a healthy balance between the favoured attributes of my current character - One-Handed, Heavy Armour, Block, Conjuration, Enchanting and Smithing.
Some of the PC mods are excecllent and that's without the Construction Set evening being able until January.
I'm purposely not levelling my smithing up too quickly as I want to enjoy the game as its meant to be enjoyed.
Quite enjoying how often a draogn will fly overhead and follow me around to kill any hostiles I come into contact with rather than attack. Clearly they like my daedra-worshipping black/doom paladin/knight.
