Yeah, if you have captions turned on, it actually says "stoopid". I can
think of no other explanation than that whoever wrote this dialog was too
stupid to spell "stupid" correctly. I think it's basically along the lines
of "Boy, attacking that huge powerful guy wearing the Ebony armor and
carrying a Daedric Crescent was sure a stoopid thing to do..."

I normally cheat right off the bat and give my character speed 150 at
level 1 - playing at speed 30 or less is really really brutal...and
it's easy to tell when those Boots of Blinding Speed get broken!

My favorite birthsign is The Steed, for specifically this reason. I can't
bear to start out a character with the base speed anymore, not after seeing
what maxed speed +200 from BBS is like...

Perhaps my all time favorite is when fighting a male dark elf. He's hit me a
number of times, and barely scratched me, screaming how my wounds are great
while I'm cutting him down.

Heh, I've had them say that to me before they even got close enough to touch
me - even when I'm at full health. I'm just thinking "What wounds?"

On a related note, I've seen often when my health is at, oh, less than 80%
or so, people who are friendly to me will say things like "You've been hurt,
you should go find a healer." Thing is, as long as I've played this game,
I've only met one healer, ever, who actually will heal you. She's a member
of the Fighter's Guild, and you meet her and help her kill some beast in a
Dwemer ruin near the Azura's Coast region. Other than that, I've never had
another character (as in, a person, as opposed to, say, a shrine) in the
game actually give me healing. Of course many NPCs will sell you healing
potions or scrolls, and sometimes you're given these items as a quest
reward, but nowhere else in the game does there seem to be a character who
will actually heal you themselves.

OK, so what's a "s'wit"?

you want to keep this char? Then do something that will land you in prison
Depending on the length of your stay in prison, you will leave with
severely
lowered skills and attributes.
