Well the more I carry on with this the more I realise that side-quests might get you some cool items but they do nothing for your achievements or to acctually further your advancement ... I think I counted 20 last time I checked, that I had running. STILL haven't really bothered with the main quest; I reckon tomorrow I'll focus on getting high up in the Dark Brotherhood, then the Mages Guild, then Fighters Guild ... rather than doing them all at once. Best Achievements Today =
Journeyman : Mages Guild
Myrmidon : Arena
lvl 6 now ... struggling with low magicka and low skills for magic, best I can do is "weak fireball" .. lame I know, serves me right for spending all my time with a knife in my hand I guess
