Well, this is really just stating the obvious, but some people might not know, so this will be an advice topic. These are generic hints, don't give away specific info for quests please. Here are some of mine.

1. Why does strength seem to increase your movement speed. Well, remember that as you gain strength, you encumbarence limit goes up. The less stuff you hold, the faster you go, so what you are really doing is just making your load lighter.
2. I've found it usefull to look at your surroundings, ESPECIALLY, in a Daedric Ruin. No doubt there is a crazy orc with a huge warhammer awaiting you behind that pillar.
3. If your strength is a main part of your guy, and you don't have acrobatics specialized, jump all the time. Remember, strength governs acrobatics, so you can get strength up to 5 points per level without using any weapons.
4. Use potions and local ales. It may seem silly, but I've just discovered the awesome power of sujamma. My 2nd guy (Hogarth, Northern Barbarian/Custom Class), has 20 of em on him. Whenever he is gonna go into a tough fight, I swallow to of these things, and thats all I need. And don't forget to use Exclusive Restore Health potions. These are the best (beside custom made), especially against those really hard people. I say carry about 10 of them.
5. Are you in need of money, well, if your up to it, kill an ordinator. Here is what you do. Go to Vivec, go into the Arena Canalworks (or anyone Canalworks that has 1 guard) and if you follow my advice on the previous, you can take this guy down easily. That and I recomend being on level 5 and have atleast 70 health. Then go and sell it. Try Creeper in Caldera (Ghorak manor, biggest house there), or if you have Tribunal installed, go to the smithy in the Great Bazaar. All Indoril stuff is great. And you could keep his stuff. Some of you guys are looking around for a decent mace, he has a ebony mace equipped. And if you are skilled in Medium, heck you can certainly use it. Just don't go talking to Ordinators then, cuz they'll kill you if you talk to them with Indoril on you cuz the armor is sacred and that all that jazz.
6. If you really need money, and can't take on the guards, here is another tip. Go buy a potion (or spell or make it) of telekinesis. Then go to the Dren Planation (North or east of Pelagiad) and go into Dren's Villa. Go the top where Dren is, and go into that corner where the baskets and crates are. Notice the shelf full of daedric greaves or something like that. Go into sneak mode, use the telekinis, and grab all those good items.

Any additions would be usefull.
