Skyrim: Installing Dragon Shouts (PC)

To collect dragon "shouts" you must first find the words on a wall.  Then you have to kill a dragon and absorb its soul.  Then install the dragon shout by selecting it and clicking R (PC only).

Extra hint:  save immediately after killing a dragon.  Especially in the early parts of the game, you often might be killed immediately after the dragon fight by attacking wild animals when your health is down.

Skyrim: Storage Commands (PC)

To put an item in storage (a chest or whatever), mouse over it and push R.  To remove an item from the chest, use the left mouse button, i.e., point and click. Remember, these are PC only commands.

The items in a storage chest seem to be listed in alphabetical order.

Skyrim: Maps UPDATED ALL OVER AGAIN

UPDATE:  A pretty good series of maps.
http://www.realsg.com/2011/11/guide-skyrim-complete-locations-map.html

UPDATE #2:  Annotated map meant to be printed out but clicking any general location brings up a good detailed view of that area.

UPDATE #3:  An iPhone interactive map.

This map can't be enlarged to see more detail.

UPDATE #2 - a map mod called UberMap that turns the map into a Google Maps view.  Kotaku has video of how it looks and a link to the SkyrimNexus site hosting the download.

Prima also sells some sort of online interactive map.  I'm waiting for the uesp.net version myself.

When you start having second thoughts, here's how to cure your Lycantrophy.  Note that once you are cured, you are immune to the disease and can't become a werewolf again.
