But really, outside of fletching I'm finding that smelting weapons into ingots isn't really needed.

I don't care! I just want to melt things! They offend me with their unmeltedness!

Only way I've seen I can dual wield weapons using hotkeys is if you have multiples of the same weapon. Like spells, hitting the key twice equips said weapon in both hands.

What? Use your mouse!

So I have a problem and I'm not sure how to resolve it. One of my skills (two handed weapons so my main skill) is drained and wont restore. I had it at 68 and now its 25. Its shown as drained, as it is red in my skills menu. I've tried praying at an alter, resting, waiting, and tried using cure disease and poison. My googlefu has turned how nothing about how to fix it. I have no negative effects or magic items doing this.
I am rather impressed that this is the only bug that I've had despite all my play time.

I'm pretty sure they got rid of the Damage Attribute/Skill effect (thank god) so if you're on the PC I would recommend just raising your 2h back up to what it was with the console. If you don't wanna use the console or you're on a console, try finding a 2h trainer, like Vilkas in Whiterun, and train a level or even raise the skill normally one level. If that doesn't work I'd guess you'll just have to bite the bullet and return to an earlier save.

I'm so sad about not being able to play my main guy until the next PS3 patch is released.
I'm lucky, though, seeing as I stopped playing him last about 10 minutes before the standard 30-hour/ 6MB point. So it's salvageable.

Otherwise, AWESOME GAME!

I was bored with my lvl 41 leader of the dark brotherhood(and unrelenting one shot-one kill machine) so I gave a mage a try.
I'm of course not speaking of those silly armored mage, why would a mage have armor, he has the powers of the UNIVERSE AT HIS FEET!(yes I'm a megalomaniac mage :p).
And damn, that first dragon kicked my ass, I had to do it 3 times before I finally finished him off(in normal difficulty) >.<.

Though I have to admit reanimating corpses is quite fun, even if a bit awkward as you have to aim for the body and it takes a while to get back up.
It feels like magic alone is a bit underpowered though. if you're a warrior, if you are out of stamina you can still use normal attacks, if you're a pure mage and don't have a staff/potions you're out of luck(I could of course use a weapon but that seems so...uncivilized :p).

And my guess is that there are no quests to join necromancers and the like? Bethesda often fails to deliver to my dark side, apart from the DB which is always quite fulfilling :p.

Maybe, its also a possible save breaker since your gamesave would have to be converted.

I've done almost the exact same thing recently, having started with a now 40ish DB/Thieves Guild/bow sneaky character. Mages feel like they could use some loving; either you wear heavy armor and have to train yet another skill, or you wear none and have to rely on your low starting magicka and the occasional staff drop, if you're lucky. I'm glad I am specializing heavily in Alchemy.

On a side note, Destruction talents give your staff more kick depending on the element being used. Also, the more advanced your Destruction skill, the less charge it takes when used. Nice touch, at least. But I don't like not regenerating magicka when using my shitty streaming ice or fire staff.

I REALLY hope there is no bonus for doing all the Daedra quests. Since I didn't do them all.
