Yes.
If you would have checked the video before posted this, you'd understand this has nothing to do with the console.
Leveling Alchemy is a pain in the butt. Im RPing a Reguard asassin who only uses his money to buy Skooma.Nothing else.Potions have to be stolen or made.Same as for armor.
Alchemy's only problem is that it gains MUCH slower than ether Enchanting or blacksmithing, probably because it's been a game breaker in previous titles. Ironically, since they removed the ability to fortify stats (because their ARE no stats beyond health, stam, and magicka), potions are no longer game breaking. Hell, I'd say they aren't worth using aside from healing and invisibility potions, as it's much harder to make effective poisons now.
Agreed. By the time I'd need a resist potion, the fight's over.
I think it's ironic that on my one handed run, I still haven't gotten that shout. I got all three levels of it as my first shout on my previous run, but this time I'm getting useless crap like Kyne's Peace. Why would I ever NOT want to fight an animal? These soul gems ain't gonna fill themselves!
OK, I thought it was me, a lot of these shouts I got have been ASS.
I really am, hoping for a patch to fix dragons soon. Because they are like LOLtrolling you. You initiate contact and they'll hover just out of range and starts moving around like a Harrier Jet, flying backwards. When you even manage to "kill" one, they just fly everywhere in a dead animation and your FPS falls to single digit numbers.
Those who do work though? Good times.
Battled a few "Ancient Dragons" tonight.... good times.

If your a stealth bower, Detect Life is the one you will use the most. Being able to see where the enemies are really helps you not get caught and it helps with long distance shots by outline your target.
As for the shouts being ass... well here's my look at each (except the story ones).
Unrelenting Force: I never use this, as it sends stuff flying EVERYWHERE. It does what it's supposed to do though.
Fire Breath: Decent damage and can be improved through a story event. Never seems to light guys up though.
Ice Breath: Same as Fire, but slows targets down. Would be better if there were less Nords, but still quite good.
Slow Time: It slows time. Great if you need to escape from someone or need some space.
Ice Form: Paralyzes a group if you aim it well. Very effective and always useful.
Aura Whisper: I use this almost constantly. Works VERY well.
Whirlwind Sprint: Necessary to get to some to items and areas. Useful.
Kyne's Peace: There is NEVER a time I would want to use this, unless it works on Spriggans or something.
Storm Call: This doesn't do an amazing amount of damage but HOLY HELL is it impressive and enemies can't dodge it.
Elemental Fury: Lets you attack at a crazy, stupid pace. Works amazingly well.
Dismay: Makes enemies run away. I guess this is good, but I'd never use it.
Disarm: Makes enemies drop their weapons. This SUCKS when it's done to you and the dangerous enemies don't NEED their weapons to hurt you.
Marked for Death: Weakens enemies. Works well, but I'd never want to keep it equiped.
Throw Voice: I guess this has it's uses, but I'd never have it equipped.
Animal Allegiance: Again, why would I ever use this?
Become Ethereal: This is great, if you need time to heal up.

The arcane console jabber you want is "moveto player" not "placeatme."
If you know her RefID (0001A697 I think), you can target her first with "prid (refid)" and then use the command even if she's not clickable. This is how I retrieve Lydia or Illya when they go "a walkabout."

Also, I have 162 save files and I'm not even level 50 yet.
The only shouts I ever use pretty much are throw voice, because I'm trying to work up archery and stealth, and FUS RO DAH! if I get into trouble, because while they're busy getting back up from ragdoll I can usually kill 3 hard guys with my sword.
I've maxed both blacksmithing and enchanting at 100. I don't have all the enchanting perks yet that I want, though. I've made myself two more intermediary suits of dwarven armor (my latest with double enchantments, it's nice) and a new dwarven axe with both stamina drain and shock damage (damages both HP and magica). I still have my skyforged steel sword that procs soultrap, but I had 40k gold before I bought a house in solitude and all its decorations, which took me down to about 4k... and I'm already back up to 15 or so just from enchanting random shit with soul gems I buy from the merchant. So I've started to get lazy about loot. If anything, I check corpses for iron daggers, and leave just about everything else. I haven't ignored any chests yet, but I've been tempted.

I use unrelenting force all the time. It's great for getting in the first hit. Only time it sucks is when your companion runs in front of you as you are starting your shout. Last night Lydia ran in front of me and I shouted her and two brigands off the side of a mountain. "LYDIA! NOOOOO!!!!"

That's why Lydia's keeping my seat warm in Breezehome, now, and Illia goes with me. Because she seldom runs up, but usually stands back to do ranged damage. I won't say always though.. There have been a couple unfortunate incidents... but nowhere near as many as with Lydia.
There has been ONE time I though I should have had Kyne's Peace when I stumbled into a Spriggans grove and he had two bears and a wolf army going, would have made the fight that much less a hassle. though thatis all I can think of for that.
If Dismay is anything like my Nord's battle cry racial then having them run away and cower is nice because even beating on them does not break it. I use the Nord shout alot on casters who have a decent dose of health and bite.
I'm at level 30 and at this point giants are a freaking walk in the park. Hell I'm taking dragons out in one round of stamina. Run towards them with my double weapons, use the shout to increase weapon speed and by the time my stamina bar is dead so are they. Even dragons. I'm kind of wondering what the hell to do now. Nothing seems to be a challenge for me and it's getting really hard to level up my weapon skills since I kill everything so fast.
I'm in the mid-40's now and pretty much every Draugr is a Deathlord or whatever they're called. The top level ones. It's only annoying because they have a lot of health. My armor rating is so high that they barely do any damage.

45 and I don't even have to dodge attacks any more. Just hold up the shield. I think that's why I'm trying to go stealthy - when I get serious and start hacking away like a Tank DPS, nothing stands a chance - And I'm still only in dwarven armor (though I do have the 25% bonus to dwarven armor you get from
