I think it was the first three contract kills. I felt like I was being punished for not investing in stealth. Like the one mine worker woman, she was never in a secluded area except for her home at night and I couldn't break in since her door is in full view of everyone and sneaking didn't work for me there.

So I had to kill her in front of everyone...

For me I followed her after she left her house and took a back way through the town, snuck up behind her and slit her throat, even got a super cool finishing animation for my troubles. But the guards did come a running and I bailed.

Yeah something like that.

Although, after I was attacked by every Tom, Dick and Claire in the whole of Solitude during my exit, I realized that my methods weren't very efficient.

From then on, my assassinations were quick and silent. :P

If you where in my Sanctuary id kill you for botching a kill like that. "Any thug can kill" It take a master to kill with style.

Well ofcourse "any thug can kill", but how does a master become a master?

Through practice.

Lots and lots of practice. ;D

Besides, that was how I did it at first, for funsies. It became difficult to handle the situation, so I reloaded,
Spoiler: show
shot an arrow at her heart during her speech, popped an invisibility potion and went on my merry way.

Omega posted a pro tip sometime yesterday which I found quite handy. While on my way to get stuff from Eldergleam, I checked out some Stormcloaks and Imperials knocking the hell out of each other. Dragon enters the fight, killing all the people that were knocking each other. I move in for the kill on the dragon, which left me with a dragon and 6 bodies to loot.

That used to happen to me quite often, not with stormcloaks or imperials though. Trolls, mammoths, sabertooth and cave bears.

Awesome tip. I will check that out. Tried a little Alchemy last night, there seems to be a slight health restore potion shortage at the moment. Would love to make some more potent ones myself.

Last night a bear attacked me while Im riding my horse out of Winterhold, I jump of and unrelenting force him to give me time to get draw my weapons before he kills my horse. Just killed the bear when a freaking frost troll showed up and had to take him down as well.

If you havent already track down the Frost form Shout its epic. Freezes ur target solid taking them out of the fight for almost a minute and it damages health. The wall is close to the shire ontop of that mountain behind Windhelm.

Oh yeah, I have Frost form at level 2 now, really awesome shout, one of the few that I use often.

Bears and trolls used to scare the shit out of me, more so than dragons XD Now though, they're easy to deal with. If ever I'm fighting something particularly tough (that isn't a dragon) I have a dragon plate shield with +22% better blocking and the perk to slow down time when someone does a power attack on you, works wonders! >.<

I will def be tracking down frost level 2. I use Marked for death & Unrelenting force often the rest not so much. I have a perk that slows time when I zoom the aim of my bow, meaning I can fire multiple arrows before whatever is chasing me gets with it melee range.

Ive had it crash out to steam a couple of times, I have a feeling it has something to do with graphics drivers though. Running the game on max on ultra, everything maxed out. Might be a little issue in there somewhere.

The same here. If you have an ATI/AMD card there is a new update available that fixes some issues with Skyrim, BF3, Rage & Batman: AC - linkie.

Also check out SkyrimNexus there are some mods that might help and they also have an active community that might help with a solution.
