Noooo don't sacrifice Marcurio! He's probably the best mage companion in the game and has some witty lines.

I get this now and again on my laptop - for some reason the GPU goes into power saving mode and won't come out of it. Try running MSI Afterburner and using the overlay to watch your GPU clocks and temps.
Why bother? If you have a Daedric Bow doing over 500 damage a shot you've already broke the game, upping the difficulty to Master won't make a blind bit of difference. Its a bit of an odd statement to say 'others think it makes the game too easy' and in the same paragraph say you're upping the difficulty because its too easy with your overpowered weapon.
He was talking about enemies following you through doors. It doesn't seem to happen anywhere near as much on this game to the point where you rarely get anyone pursuing you through level transitions, unlike Oblivion and Morrowind where they'd appear right behind you.
yeah I wasn't going to as I quickly realised he was very powerful, but he really got on my nerves so I chinned him. Besides, I don't want to hurt Lydia's feelings too much
I bet backstabbing is fun, I never tried that.
How the hell did you get your bow to 564?
I thought my fire enchanted ebony legendary bow was good damage at 56, but obviously not. Yours is 10x more powerful. Because I didn't want to write "I don't want people telling me how to play my game"
It's not just about the damage, I enjoyed making the best armour I could. If it is too easy, I'll chuck it and go back to using a normal bow. How have I "broke" the game? If it was broke, then they would have a lower fortify enchant value than 29% etc. I got those values entirely using the in game features, no cheats. It is very powerful and Giants are "one shot-able" on adept. So I'll up it master and have a greater overall challenge.
Ah my bad.

100 smithing, 100 archery, 100 enchanment, 100 alchermy with relevant perks. make a good fortify enchant potion, them drink it and enchant leather armour with fortify alchemy. Then wear that and make a good fortify smithing potion. Enchant all items you can with fortify archery and wear them

Oh blimey, that's way too much for my brain to think about and it would take me ages to do all that and get to those skill levels. Guess I'll manage as I am. I've spent a lot of time in the last few days learning and doing smithing and enchanting and now have daedric armour and some daedric weapons. I think I just want to get back to the quests, lovely as it would be to have a 500+ rated bow. Besides, I got overwhelmed by those nasty, nasty corrupt guards in Markath and am now in Cidhna Mine prison drinking bread and water (if I'm lucky) and about to find a shiv

FOV tweaking recommended as is the mouse acceleration tweaks and TESV Acceleration Layer. As for the rest it's upto you, as they are mainly graphical enhancements. See how the game runs first Vanilla style before adding texture mods
All of a sudden i cant use any craft tables / equipment 
I press E to use it, the camera pans out to third person view, then just goes back to normal FPS...tried loading oldest save file i have, which is only about 30 mins before and it doesnt work
Any ideas?
Cant find much on google about this
Scrap that, its working now :/

This is a Bethesda RPG. There will always be something in the game that is abusable to the point of breaking it. The combination of Smithing, Alchemy and Enchanting allows you to create basic sets of armour that meet the armour cap and weapons that can 1 shot most enemies in the game. Its no different to how things like Paralysis in other TES games was a cheap and easy way of taking out an enemy for 5 seconds by casting a 1s spell on the cheap and making them fall over or how you could create insta-kill spells by using massive levels of Drain Health for 1s.
Its just kinda pointless saying things are too easy when you're using those weapons and its even more pointless upping the difficulty at that point. Expert is like hell on earth for my Sword/Shield Warrior, with creatures easily wiping the floor with me and the more powerful fighters killing me with finishing moves when I have 3/4 of my health left. With my Mage it was tough in places but its gotten easier as I've gained enough mana to actually fight things for longer than 5 seconds and my Stealth Ranger walks (or rather sneaks) it without any real opposition at all.
Upping it to Master will hardly make a difference. Expert is 1.5x damage taken, 0.75x damage dealt. Master is 2x and 0.5x. The only way to genuinely experience Master is to start from the beginning with it and I guarantee the sight of an Ice Wolf early on on a character not relying on sneak bow attacks will have you falling back to find a way around it.
It was like that for me on adept to begin with. I get what you're saying mate, but I play it how I want to. I never said I'd made the game too easy, I think you just assumed that's what I meant.
WTF? Skjor died 100 hours ago or so in the companion quest, yet he's back and walking around in Jorvaskr?
I'm now onto my 4th mission from him even though he's supposed to be dead haha. Doing lots of "escaped criminal" and "family heirloom" quests. Do they just go on and on or is there an end and result to them?

Well it does seem like a pretty logical conclusion to me... the only reason you'd be increasing the difficulty is because you found the game too easy on its current setting.
The guy who made that video has some pretty sweet videos on his channel.

Perfect thank you.
One other thing, reading the beginners guide it says you can sheath your weapon to "yield", coming from action games I'm not into yielding, are there some enemies you can't beat or is there some advantage to yielding?
