How do I Save/Load games and cast spells? If this was in the Bethesda leaflet, I missed it. To load I have to use Ctl-Alt-Delete to end Skyrim, then restart to get at the Load screen. Surely there is an easier way!

Sorry for posting anything this basic.

So to save you hit Esc (PC). Then you can go and save/load. You can also hit F5 to quick save. Also, you can view what the controls are in the Esc menu. Otherwise, for spells, you hit tab and then click on Magic.

Honestly, i found the controls confusing at first, so I just took my XBox controller and plugged that into the pc. I just use that cuz it's easier.

You can equip a spell in either hand and use it via the respective mouse buttons. Left hand is left-click and right hand is right-click. Same as if dual-wielding melee weapons.

For saving, Rahpsodi is spot on. F5 for quick save or hit ESC and choose Save/Load.
