^lol, it keeps on going.

I've noticed that I cannot favorite things anymore nor do certain keys that I've bound to other functions work anymore for other tasks. Some books you need to 2x click to open(with one click you can only drag it around) and you can Take it with another keypress. But can't do that now...and a few quests rely on presenting journals and such to people to finish. Hope tha patch fixes that at least.

I find using the mouse to select things is too iffy. The hitboxes for clicking on stuff is just too small for me. I mostly use "e" or enter to select things. I'm not sure about that favorite issue you're having. Maybe you have too much stuff that's favorited? I only have a few spells and weapons on my favorite list.

I have quite a few things 'favorited', full suit of armor/1h/2h/bow/arrows/5shouts and like 3 spells and can favorite more if I want to...not sure what your problem is?

Yeah, I don't think I'd have any problem. I was just trying to help toomuchfun to brainstorm.

BTW that website you linked for mods is pretty nice. I'm currently using the lockpicking pro one. I couldn't care at all if using it is cheating, because lockpicking in this game is pretty lame when compared to other games, and I can save my perks for more important skills.

To Much Fun: If you bind the R key and the F key to other things it'l glitch like that.
whatever you binded "R" to will prolly be your drop key aswell regardless of what the screen says and if you re-binded the "F" key your favorites key prolly re-binded to some other random key, just have to find it.
Mine is the same way.

Has anyone played it on an Xbox 360? Is it different from the PC version?

haha...I actually like lockpicking and am pretty damn good at it now that I have it figured out to a T...I got the nude females one and the glowing ore veins 300 one(because I'm fucking blind) for now...trying not to get too crazy with everything til I can beat or mostly beat the game my first run through without any help/or modding it to fuck(cept player.setav speedmult 300, I can't fucking STAND the running being that slow haha).  That site already has over 1000 mods for this fucking game rofl, and the game is only two weeks old?....I can only imagine the kind of fucking mods they're gunna have by the time I beat this game that I'll download haha.

It made things a hell of a lot better looking to me and not to mention more clear(as I'm fucking blind, again).

(I used Preset 1: Medium sharpening, medium bloom, technicolor, medium saturation, did the manual install and found I liked that one over the other 3)

quiet, you...

Well it just irks me how easily the lockpicks break or is that because my skill in it is too low and have no perks for it?

Yes; plus there's also a finesse to it... over time i've learned to nudge and listen, with a light touch.  The lockpicks break when you push them past the point where they get stuck.  (Or, well, if you continue to push once they've become stuck...)

Also, the more advanced the lock (relative to your current level), the more narrow the band is where the lockpick must be positioned... with advanced locks, slight adjustments can make a lot of difference...

I would do the nude mod,  but my son also plays. 

I still may add it,  but is there a way to switch back easily?

That's what I dislike about it so much. There's only so many times you can lightly nudge the lockpick before it breaks. I could easily escape every time before my lockpick breaks, but it draws out the lockpicking process thus making it cumbersome. And also, it is not equally fun to break 8 lockpicks to open a locked room that has useless potions, weapons and armor. : p
