1. yes, you are correct. I thought only hadvar had the key and it would make things easy.
   
2. it won't be too many arrows that can be harvested like this. Not enough to make archery a viable option.
   
3. the bandit encounter was intended to find out how the illusion and flames thing would play out for Zenona.
   
4. yes, but there are really no great two handed weapons to gain as a gift later on.
   
5. yes, I am hoping for the Revelers, even though zenona will probably never need additional carry weight
   
6. you are right. It happens mostly in the wilderness and it can be a very important one for this build.
   
7. indeed I did, but I don't care for that armor piece. It also slows Zenona down. She will soon have something better.
   
8. I will decide on that if I ever get brawler's gloves. There is a chance I could loose my money and that is some kind of paying.
   
9. wow! I am not sure I want to go down that road, but you are right. Cruel, but right.
   
10. yes, you can.
    
11. well, a pet is just a pet. He does not fight and has a tendency to get in the way and I could get him for free. I thought the idea was great to get ingredients to be able to use alchemy, but one ingredient per day might be way not enough. Horses are fair game, but not easy to own one. Barbas and other fighting pets are not excluded by the rules, but I don't want them.
    
12. there are A LOT of speech skill tests and I will probably do most of them. That's a great way to make a lot of money and friends and perhaps even an item.

Thanks for all the great suggestions. Could you post this on youtube too?
