Lifetime Bounty: 0
Wow, that's pretty impressive.  Did you ever acquire bounty, and then kill all the bystanders, or have you really never been caught?  I raged on city guards like LT did, so that's why I had so many.

I haven't been caught doing anything yet.  I worked on pickpocket with bandits right before I killed them, and you don't get bounty from committing crimes against them.  Granted, I haven't committed very many crimes at all, but if I ever go on a rampage I'll probably wait until dark and do it methodically and silently.

Haha, Joel... I remember when you started the search to see which ones you had. I had to break back into the Thalmor Embassy... I used my horse and jumped the wall like a boss.

How much do you get for them?  I never bothered collecting them all, but seeing that I have nothing else to do, I could search for them.  Is it possible to sell them?  I hope I didn't before I realized they weren't just 'Unusual Gems'.

They are a quest item. I don't think that you can sell them. What happens is that you make the crown and then you get the Prowler's Profit ability which means you get a BOATLOAD of gems everywhere you go. Every chest has quite a few gems.... even the rare type.

Does raising the first Sneak perk 'Stealth' really help that much?  The statistic never sounded like it was helpful, so I only ever acquired 1/5.

As far as I can tell it works by lessening your penalty for drawing the attention of the people around you.  As in, the eye won't open as wide if you're at 5/5 which gives you more time to recover.

I'm aware of how it works, but the percentage increase of only 5 seems so low, that it wouldn't be worth it.

Doesn't it go up to 40%?  I think it's worth it, especially when your Sneak skill is high.  I mean, it does effectively give you 40 more points in Sneak once you hit 100.

Possibly at 5/5, I never searched, but I meant from 1/5-2/5.  I do have the rest of the Sneak perks though (aside from 100, as I have 99 Sneak).

I think it's 40% there, I haven't checked in a while.

As for the relatively small increases per level, you have to understand that when you unlock the next increment you're around 20 levels higher.  So getting 10% at level 20 isn't a big deal, but 20% at 40 is a nice increase, and 40% at 80 is very nice (especially when you hit 100).

But the percentage increase doesn't stack, does it?  I thought it was then a 40% total increase.

Ugh!  I think I need to cool down and be rational.  If I hadn't taken almost a year off from playing I would be hella furious right now.   So after playing a few minutes I noticed a few things.

1. I remember my level being closer to the 70s before.  Now its 38.
2. I had over 150, 000 in gold.  Now its around 50, 000.
3.  A lost of my current missions were passed loooong ago, including the brotherhood sanctuary's location.  Right now its in the original spot rather than the new one we moved to and reestablished.

I thought about grounding my son on this cause he had asked me about playing a while back and I told him to save on a different file.  Maybe he override my main one?  Who knows.  I guess I shouldn't get worked up over a game.  All I know is that several hours are lost jow. :(

It's not listed anywhere in-game, I just listed them off the top of my head.

Wow, that really sucks.  Yeah, it's only a game, but that's a lot of hours lost.

It doesn't, but since your base Sneak level increases as you unlock those perks, it's still a substantial increase.

If you're at 100 Sneak and only have 2/5 of that perk, you're effectively at 125 Sneak.  If you are at 5/5, you've got 140 Sneak.

I just think of it as a passive enchantment that would take a long time to make/find.  I've never regretted going for it as it makes leveling Sneak a lot easier early in the game since you can be a bit less careful.

Man screw it.  I played for about 15 minutes and then it froze my system 3 times whenever I so much as touched a body of water.  I turned it off and watched TV.   Undecided

That happened to me on my best character on the PS3, at Alduin's Wall.  Can't finish the game.

The PS3 version got shafted.
