Started a new game, could not get my char to look cool at all , got the rag muffin look.
I have yet to update to the latest, but the previous update I found a major prob.

I goto get my head cut off in the beginning of the game, the dragon is flying about, but never lands, just fly's and the guy with the axe just stands there.
Even tried the kill console command and resurrecting him, notta.
I could not get my new game going.
What it was, it worked fine in windowed mode, but in fullscreen it got stuck there everytime.
Weird...
Afterwards I haven't had any probs in fullscreen mode.
Maybe it was because I created that new game a few days ago, then updated it twiced, afterwards tried to run that new game.
Who knows, who really cares.

Some stuff I do with a new game:

setgs fJumpHeightMin 250
player.forceav speedmult 125
psb
player.additem a 9999
player.additem f 9999999

9999 lockpicks.
9 million in gold.
Give all spells, shouts etc.
Increase jump height (250 is to low..., still better then the norm though).
Increase walking/running speed (doesn't work...)

A trick I found is you can goto the console, select a door and lock it ith a 99 lv lock.
Ie, lock 99.
Unlock, etc etc.
This way you can practice lock picking on high lv doors.
In reality, it's probably a waste of time though lv'ing up this way.
