Skyrim - Telekinesis

[Whisp]

My character is mostly archer and doesn't really get in magic much, at least not yet. But I sure would like to know how good Telekinesis is for picking up objects and placing them exactly where you want and not upside down or sideways. I would like to redecorate my Breezehome as I, erm, made an error in judgement and Shouted indoors and blew all my stuff off the shelves and counters. heh.

Picking things up with A (xbox) and holding and dragging is brutal and contortion causing so I would like to hear from anyone who has Tele and if that will be a better way to handle and place objects.

1. "error in judgement"...

That's awesome.

2. Get a home in Riften.

Trust me. You have the thieves guild fence below you, 3 stalls to sell things at, a blacksmith and a random goods trader and a potions stop. It is by far the greatest place to store all the crap you want to sell.

Especially when you finish that quest where you have to find 24 gems... Then they give you a boost and you find too many gems to sell. 1 diamond sells for around what? 400 gold? Great! Each person has about 750 to 1000 gold on them. Then you realize you have 350 fucking diamonds to sell! AND THAT'S ONLY DIAMONDS!

3. alright, thanks.

I am thinking of upgrading my home from Breezehome. I will keep Riften in mind - sounds good.

getting better at moving objects around, still kind of awkward but improving and doable.

4. Also, I've done worse.

I accidentally shouted on someone... There was no pulse from that guys hand.

5. Got a Riften home.

and it's sweet. I love the garden and the general raggedness of the town.

I threw flowers all over my bed and that foot chest and splayed gems around the fireplace. looks nice. Wish I could get a screen shot but I'm on xbox with thing. I might try to take a pic when I get it set up the way I'm imagining.

I also bought the house in Markarth - its beautiful, the whole city is but it's a bit of a pain getting around there what with all the layers and stairs so that is my Vanity home mostly, I do most of my business at Riften and still store a bit at Whiterun too.

did I mention I love this game? no? not for a few days. well I do. ha ha

I like how gender is pretty equal there too. Women are soldiers or merchants or heads of state, etc., and so far I haven't really heard any lewd sexist dialogue. I know some of these games can be so harsh and ugly that way, but thankfully Skyrim is not one of them.

If you play on a pc get a couple screenies for us to peek at your house.

6. "You'll make a fine rug, CAT!" "What do you want... CAT?"

Approaching the endgame. I have all the houses except the one in Windhelm.

Proudspire Manor in Solitude is probably the best if you're on PC and have the upgrade mod that allows you to put in a smithy.

Completing all the little jobs for Delvin/Vex, then doing Delvin's "big job" bumps up the trading budget for fences in all cities.

As a Khajiit, I hear racist barbs all the time, mostly from Nords. They are hypocrites; for all their bawling about "they outlawed our god," they don't have much to say about when they did the exact same thing to... well I don't want to spoil anything.

That doesn't mean the Thalmor aren't total dicks, however.

EDIT: The most flagrant sexism I have seen occurs during the Diplomatic Immunity quest. Very well written, which I can say for most of the game.
