A Madwoman approached me and asked me to Wabbajack her, I gladly obliged. I also just added The Black Star to my daedric collection, making a total of 3 daedric artifacts which I have acquired, the other being Dawnbreaker.

The Wabbajack is so fun, I made a guy explode into coins. I also turned an Argonian into a Mudcrab.
You can get that huge mace from the destruction lord too. I forget the name.

I'm just letting those who continue the quote pyramids know. It's not funny, we're allowed to tell you it's not funny. You already derailed the thread in the first place with the quotes.
The quotes were on topic about the game this thread is about. I don't see how that is a derail.

I believe its name begins with M, Malacath or Morag Bal. Not sure which though, but I'll surely look it up. After I deal with Boethiah.

Vaermina Meridia's introduction really surprised me, I just walked up to her shrine and BAM! I won't spoil the surprise though. ;)

What would be the crappiest race you can pick on skyrim? Reptile one?

Argonians aren't the crappiest race!  We have waterbreathing! ...which probably would just result in getting our companions killed when they try to follow us....  Oh! we have a super health regen now too! ...that can only be used once a day... and isn't as good as a couple pounds of health potions...

Dammit I'm depressed now, I'm going to go find a warm rock to sun myself on...  Oh wait, this is Skyrim, there is no such thing as warm.

And maybe choose Thief sign and try if that would make it more enjoyable/harder?

Going by abilities, I'd guess that it's:
Altmer/Breton/Orsimer - Magicka regen buff, 25% resistance to all magicka, and +50% damage done -50% damage taken buff respectively
Dunmer - 50% resist fire
Nord - 50% resist cold
Argonian - Water breathing in a game where water is rarely above knee-height.  Histskin sounds useful though
Redguard - Again, poison resistance
Bosmer - Poison resistance in a game with few poison effects
Khajit - Night vision in a game that never gets dark
Imperial - Gain slightly more gold

I haven't played all of the races, so I'm just guessing here

Yeah, but for the record, he told us to knock that shit off.

Like all memes, it was funny once and only once.

Morag Bal
I think that's it. Anyway the thing is MASSIVE for a one-handed mace and does some very cool effects.

So far I have 3 daedric artifacts, all 3 found by accident as I wandered Skyrim. I really like that.

Breton - 25% resistance to all magicka
I cannot tell you how handy this is. Throwing in Dragon Skin (absorb magicka from incoming spells) is just gravy. 25% less damage from all magical sources is a huge thing, and when you add it to a few good pieces of enchanted jewelry you can get ~90% resist magicka easily. Suddenly dragon priests are soloable instead of requiring allies, summons and tricks involving pathing.

I think gold rewards scale to your level. It's getting a little absurd. People are giving me 500 for literally walking down the street to do something menial for them.

500 is pretty much chump change at higher levels though. Even without resorting to lucrative mining, blacksmithing, and transmuting.

I don't think there's any loot in the game I can possibly find right now that can be better than the gear I'm currently using. I seriously cannot imagine it. All the stuff I have is worth around 5,000 - 7,000 gold each.

I guess that's what happens when you max out enchanting and smithing first. Funny how dragon armour is worse than Daedric. But you get Daedric first. Dragon armour also looks like crap.

But in practical terms, it also means I don't have to bother looting anything anymore. Also, unlimited mana, stamina, and magic resist because of the dual-enchantments on everything.

Argonians are my favourite, simply because they offer a means of escape that has saved me many times, and the ability to explore underwater dungeons/locations indefinetly.
