    That's an awesome video. Just wait until some high res texture packs are released and we can run the game in true GPU melting glory.

    I'm at work right now. I count down the minutes until I can go home and Skyrim.

    edit: for the enchanting skill perks that say "skill enchantments are 25% stronger", does anyone know if that means existing enchantments or only new enchantments? Because for the first skill, it specifically says "new enchantments are xx% stronger", but for the others it just lists the spell or skill type as being 25% stronger, it doesn't say "new".

    Also, don't bother spending a dragon soul on the "elemental fury" shout. It gives you a speed boost for attacks, which would be awesome, but it doesn't work when wielding enchanted weapons. Utterly useless.

    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    This is(mostly) wrong.

    Elemental Fury does indeed not work on enchanted weapons. However you are not taking into account how significant the attack speed boost is. Elemental Fury(with all three words) doubles your attack speed.

    Lets do some math now:

    You are dual wielding a pair of daedric swords that do about 90 damage a piece, and you swing at 1 swing a second doing 90dps. With elemental fury, you are now swinging at 2 swings per second, doing 180dps.

    Now you have the same swords imbued with 40 fire damage enchantment, still doing 1swing per second, you are doing 130dps.

    This does not take into account that more swings = more chances for perk procs(i.e. Blademaster crit procs) and that it also doubles your power swing attack speed.

    Elemental fury is one of the best shouts in the game.
