I'll add one other thing -- once you hit level 55ish the only way to progress is to multiclass... You essentially have to use skills you have no reason to want to use.

I killed the first dragon and got the first shout. Since then I've killed three other dragons I've run across randomly while traveling. Each time I absorb their souls or whatever, but I still only have the one shout. What am i doing wrong?

I had a dream. It was an incredible dream. When I awoke, I had a huge mess to clean up.

Nothing During your adventures you'll find dragon walls that teach you words of power. In the Magic/Shouts section you unlock the words by spending dragon souls. You get a number of them during your main quest line with the Greybeards.

The first time you visit Whiterun after killing the dragon, there will be a worldwide shout from the Throat of the World (easy to miss). After you interact with the NPCs in Dragonreach you'll get the quest to visit the Greybeards. When you do that it will unlock the ability to find new shouts in some dungeons. You'll get courier notes from them sometimes when you use a shout in a city that give you specific dungeons to find shouts. Almost all of the shouts after the first one are basically useless until you get Dragonrend though.

You can go to the one greybeard you can interact with and he will give you info and mark your map where a shout can be found. Once you complete that go back to him and he will give you a new quest on where to find another shout.

The Ice Trap one or whatever it's called is pretty sweet. Freeze 'em and then bash the living hell out of them, ez game.

Though I lost my Lydia last night and I can't seem to get her back and it's really pissing me off. I told that ho bag to go home and wait for me there while I talked to the Graybeards. When I got home she wasn't there. WTF? She's got a bunch of dragon bones/scales on her!

I stopped playing after level 10 :/ just got boring. Then again I havent played a console game in a month or so. I actually started playing wow again with my wife and 2 brothers in law. Were having fun though. Thats all that matters.

Did anyone complete the Forbidden Legends quest as a warrior (non magical) type? I am completely stuck and really don't want to use the console to cheat.

Let me guess - you are stuck trying to get into Saarthal...

As far as I know you have to go through the college of winterhold to get that effing door opened.
