Yeah, there isn't any. But that idea about the fortify alchemy you had may well work, to some degree.

Just looked it up, there's a cap on enchants - max 29% fortify for smithing & alchemy. However, there's a glitch that allows you to wear a falmer helmet and a circlet at the same time, allowing for both of those two, a ring, a necklace and gloves to all be combined for a total of 145% smithing/alchemy boost from gear :/

Edit: Think I'll stick with just one crafting profession for each of my chars. When I do my sneaky/ranger type char it'll be alchemy, and smithing for my 2h berserker type. Keep the fun in the game that way :)
 
There is a cap of Fortify Enchanting or Alchemy set at 29%. Technically you can make a 37% potion of Fortify Enchanting but you cannot enchant past 29%.
So you cannot create an infinite loop.

I've never seen any gear with a "fortify enchanting" enchant on, I'dimagine because getting that enchant would break crafting a bit. Enchant a piece to fortify enchanting, wear that to enchant a new piece with fortify enchanting, wear that to enchant a new piece with fortify enchanting, wear that to... and so on :)

hehe, there are enchanting potions, but I've only ever found 3 I think a 15/20/25% iirc, I have no idea how to make them, if you can, nor anyone you can buy them from I don't think.

So I've been saving them for when it feels near end gamey, just incase there is some awesome weapon/armour that's beyond what I have now.

As It is as a stealthy archer, I have a full set of stupid good dragon armour with crazy bow damage and anything else that is useful, and a full set of magic regen/-destruction cost dragon armour too, because I got a bit bored one shotting everything so I'm basically a mage now, with few skills but almost unlimited magika :p

Here is two ingredients I have found that make Enchanting pots...

Blue Butterfly Wing and Snowberries
 
TBH I'm surprised they've allowed items to stack like they do - it makes the game a lot harder to balance, I'd imagine.

They don't really have anything to balance as there is no PvP. Spells don't increase in damage from the gear or scale with your level (I wish they ******* did though as it wouldn't be nice to use the lower level spells as they would come in handy in some situations but as it stands they just do too little damage to be viable).
 
As a side note regarding the skyrim 4CD soundtrack on directsong - I had submitted a support ticket 3 weeks ago to change the quantity of my order from 1 to 2. Just had a reply saying they are unable to amend the order so I'll have to place another, and they gave me a free download of the oblivion soundtrack to make up for it. :)

Slow service, but positive IMO.
 
Anyone have stuttering loading screen and really bad fps now after patch. Game was ultra smooth before patch on my 6950's. Using 11.11c's but have tried going back to 11.11's and its still the same. Also massive loading times now on entering/exiting loading areas on SSD where it took about a second or 2 before.
 
Doing the Thieves Guild quests now, i didn't realise how big the quesline was, i probably would have started it earlier tbh. Just broke in to the mansion for the first mission but destroyed all of the bee hives as i hadn't payed enough attention to what they told me to do, so didn't get my cut:(
 
grrr i cnt play this game i keep getting CTD.. is anyone else getting this...

sometimes its every hour or so... then another time it will be after 5 minutes

Can anyone throw some clues on something I read? I recently cleared a place called robbers gorge. Wasn't a quest, it was a discovery on my way to a quest. After killing the female bandit leader, I found her journal which would seem to lead to stashed treasure she's hidden. If you look at my screenshots below, I've marked around the text where she mentions it, and on the map, I've marked in yellow around a possible area going south I think she might be talking about. So it's not a quest, but if there really is treasure hidden by a tree stump it would be so cool to find it. Anyone done this and know where I should be heading?

It's not a quest, but yes there is treasure and it is very close to the area where you found the hideout...
 
Sod Dragons and Giants. My lv32 sword/shield fighter almost got utterly destroyed by some named undead mob by the name of Krosis. It looked like a Lich Lord.

I had just finished tackling two dragons at a certain quest point, when I noticed a 'word shrine' thing nearby...with a coffin nexto it. As I approached it, out comes Krosis and pelts me with a ton of fireballs and ice spells. <insert benny hill music for 10mins before I nailed him>
