My kids chose merchants. Son's wife moved her store to his home, and shares half her profits with him DAILY! :D :geek: Daughter's husband... is nice to her. :):O_o: He doesn't share profits though. I'm thinking I'll keep my options open, why should I let a little thing like gender get between my character and her destiny, eh? LOL
Okay, Treasure Trove, lol... I brought this up to my son and he said that he didn't get a lot there. But, I got several magikal necklaces (Necklace of Smithing, Necklace of Waning Frost, Amulet of Stendarr) along with the bow. Plus I got a really expensive necklace, which I sold for cheap. :( I probably should have saved it to enchant it later.
I was on my way to Speak with the Greybeards, I took the footpath East along the river around a really tall mountain area near Whiterun. I came upon Valtheim Towers. I had no problems killing the bandits there, but I usually walk on sneak so I know when enemies are nearby and I like shooting them from a distance with my arrow. :) So... no one was alerted when I took out the first one.
