the witches there are handing my arse to me constantly, what should i do? bugger off and get stronger first? what techniques should i use to beat em?

Read the OP.

I'm a little disappointed with the Dark Brotherhood this time around. No Five Tenets??? I also think the contracts in Oblivion were a little more in depth in terms of how to kill. I'm to the part where I go into the crypt to speak to Amaund Motierre, so I'm not sure how far in I am but all the contracts so far have been very lacking. Quite frankly a side quest I started while performing my first 'real' contract was more interesting...

-Edit-

There is one thing I like though, in fact I find it absolutely hilarious; the Brotherhood member who looks like a 10 year old girl.

-Edit 2-

What did everyone else think of the Emperor (Hail Sithis! quest)? Did you do his 'favor'?

Well not really but a reference

Temba - The Elder Scrolls Wiki

The name "Temba" is a reference to the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode Darmok (one of the best episodes ever)

Found it while researching who to court in skyrim

Marriage - The Elder Scrolls Wiki

I just completed the Taste of Death quest, and holy crap did it take a turn for the sinister. At least I was rewarded with a Daedric Artifact for my (admittedly horrible ) actions.

I was finishing up the Civil War quest line as a Stormcloak and when I reached the Stable outside Solitude a guard tried to arrest me for my outstanding bounty of 5k (from killing the emperor *cough*). Normally I'd just walk away but at the same time I heard the tell tale noise of a dragon hovering above. The guard broke off the conversation and tried hopelessly swinging at the dragon (which was in the air, obviously) before deciding to change his gaze towards me. Funny enough Shadowmere started attacking him as well as the dragon (in an attempt to hit me I suppose). Long story short the guard didn't stand a chance. The irony of this is that he ultimately failed to protect the stable regardless of his actions. On the other hand, you would think a dragon would pose a greater threat than little ol' me and my horse.

-edit-
After finishing "Loud and Clear" Brynjolf mentions meeting Maven Black-Briar and even references the Dark Brotherhood. I personally think if we have progressed far enough in the game that we should have an option to comment back on the Dark Brotherhood, especially since I currently head it. Would be ironic for someone to call the Dark Brotherhood to kill the Listener

The bit in the Drak Bro'hood line when Astrid is a charred talking corpse was tripping. As a whole I feel that all the guild quests aren't as good as Oblivion but that random quests are better.

Christ I didn't realise Taste of Death was a Daedric quest!! I walked out at the point they asked me to taste the flesh thinking it would turn me into a bloody vampire or something. I'd better go back and snack on that poor bloke now I guess..... will nip into an inn and pick up a nice bottle of red on the way.

How many have fought Alduin , is it just me and my style of play , that battle was wicked, and long one. At first I thought I was fighting more then one dragon, did not read about this Quest "Alduin's Bane"

Epic in MHO.

I however need to restore to an older save file and leave this one to the end or close, as Lydia my side kick died. Not sure how I can keep her alive and in the battle

I have lost her many times and always revert to a prior save to keep her with me.

I sacrificed Lydia in a daedric quest. Bitch was not up for a threesome and had to die.
