| | | Stoopidest mistakes
After accidently having some enchanter put 'CE improve markmanship xxx points' for a lot of money on my Daedric dagger I started to wonder... what are the dumbest mistakes you ever made in Vvardenfell?

| | Kill the blighted Kwama queen on the quest for the hlaalu stronghold (I did that before knowing she'd be usefull) and also enchanting a short sword with a cast when used cold spell...  I got so sad when i noticed she would just glow and not freeze the victims... |

| | If mods are included in this, and overlooking the obvious counts... I just pulled a really dumb one..
I am playing Nevana's Twin Lamps quest. For the life of me, I cold not locate the Pelagiad safe house, despite having scoured every square inch of Pelagiad...
I just found it.. I had neglected to notice the trap door located in the house of one of the faction leaders...
Normally, I'm just a little bit more on the ball than that

Mine? Spending a lot of time and effort defeating some very nasty creatures in a temple, far away from civilization, only to cast Recall instead of Set when I wanted to move my haul to a temple near my house.

Yep! I feel like a grade A moron
lol! Been there and done that, on numerous occasions, no less. Since I am compulsive about saving frequently, I am usually able to just reload. Not exactly, roleplaying, I know, but if my gaming time is limited it is far less frustrating.
Another moment when I felt dense occurred while experimenting with a high elf character born under the Atronach. Since I had read that the Imperial Shrine healing alters recharge your magic supply when you hit "restore attributes," I duly went off looking for the healing alters at various shrines.. but no matter how hard I searched I could not actually see any "healing alters."
I did a search here, but no luck. So then I dug into some of the FAQ guides, and finally found a hint.. since a quest giver at Fort Buckmouth was described as being located "downstairs near the healing alter."
I had been playing the game for about 6 months, and it had not actually dawned on me that those table-like things were in fact alters...As far as I could see they served as a snack table for loaves of bread and the like in case the priest got hungry.

I once made a mod for myself that made the beastraces better, using the Argonian with ce underwaterbreathing I found myself unable to complete the pilgimage: one part requires you to drown....

Those cliff racers...
The first time, I was attacked by them, I had no idea what was happening. I knew my character was getting injured and there was a guard swinging away at something, but it was the first time I played first person view, attacked from the air .
How naive I was then...
