Here is a spot for tips and tricks. I will start off with some and hopefully we will have lots soon. :)

Tip #1 Don't die, I'm sure you knew this but still.
Always keep some restore health, magicka, and fatigue potions with you. Along with restore attributes and whatnot. Go for better armor then weapons if your buying them. Make your own potions and sell them for quick and easy money.

Tip #2 When exploring dungeons, especially in the Ashlands, carry Cure Disease potions or spells or scrolls with you - some diseases can really hamper your progress :)

Tip #3 and get hold of the Mark and Recall spells as soon as you can - useful for getting out of situations or travelling back to a location you use often (such as an NPC or shop)

But make sure you have a scroll of divine or almsivi intervention incase you are out of magicka.

Tip, if your traveling around Solsteim (spelling?) always carry a silver weapon incase you get attacked by a werwolf. Also long range spells and marksman weapons are handy if your physically running away not by spell/scroll. You can run backwards while attacking the thing chasing you. That has saved me more times then I'd care to say. Silver arrows if it's a werewolf. Otherwise use whatever.

Tip - In fact, carry a silver sword at all times - ghosts also tend to be finicky about what hurts them :P

Tip: Those scrolls of Icarian flight have a use! When you do jump using them, remember:

1. Make sure you are going to land in water.
2. Make sure you are moving in the direction in which you want to jump.

Other than that, happy flying :P

Actually, slowfall 1 point will get rid of any falling damage. I normally enchant pants with it and something else.

Tip: keep a list of stores that have good deals, and always focus on saving up for one item, not many.

Indeed, buy from people who like you or are in the same guild. They give you better prices.

Never understood why though. There are plenty of easier ways.

BTW, I didn't use that many spells.

Trick: Get the soultrap and a fortify attribute spell. Now, create a spell that does soultrap 1 sec. on target. Fortify whatever for however many points for 1 sec. on self. Name it, buy it then get away from people (10 feet) look all the way down and cast it. The effect becomes permanent. It's easy to cast to because the time is so small.

TIP: Pawn Brokers will always buy/sell for less than specialist traders

TRICK: for a cheap silver long-blade buy the one from the pawn-broker in Balmora (the one just left of the silt-strider) its cheap because it's damaged but then get the armorer in the fighters guild to fix it (or fix it yourself) it is much cheaper than buying a new one :D

Tip: SAVE OFTEN

Trick: Somewhere (cant remember exact location) south of Ebonheart is an underwater door, where you will find the best armor in the game. Make sure you have a solid waterbreathing effect on you.

It is not the best armor in the game. The dragonbone armor is better plus a better encantment. It's also south of ebonheart but I don't remember where.

TIP: Use Mark and Recall to your advantage, they can be really useful when you're trying to get back and forth between certain areas eg a quest-giving NPC, such as the Legion Commander.

Tip: It is always helpful to explore the map so you know where all the towns and what not are. Espesially when using divine or almsivi intervention.

TIP: One of the most useful star signs to take is the Lady. The Mara's Gift spell can be really useful when in a clinch without any health potions...

Hmmm, I normally go for the antronach. Maybe I should try that one...

*loses himself in thought

Normally, though I prefer a fighter. So, because the magic boost I can still cast spells such as frenzy, calm, and teleport. Just that darn 2% chance of success...

Hehe... There's always the CS :P but yes, it is quite annoying, standing there, waiting for that fireball, thinking "YAY, MANA" and then your hopes being shattered at the realisation of your losing half your health...

Tip: For some ebony armor kill the Duke of Vvardenfell. He's really quite easy at level 3-5. His weapon sucks though. Spent to much mony on the armor.

Trick(unbalancing): The potion of heroism is very nice but there aren't many in game. So find one hop into the console and add some more.

Oh! I've got some! Never run with scissors. You plan on killing a dremora with scissors? Never dive into murky water. There might be nasty things in there that try to kill you. Always remember how to count to three. What if you come across a blood thirsty rabbit and need to blow it up with a grenade?
