Anyone fight Morokei on the Mage's College questline? Damn, that guy was tough. Took me about 10 tries before I finally beat him. But, man, was that ever a good feeling when I finally got him.

There's a pool towards the edge of the room that he gravitates towards. If you quit attacking him, he'll just go into that pool, so I just let him go there because it's a good place to attack him.
Once he's there, I hid behind one of the pillars, and I'd quickly dart out behind the pillar and hit him with a fire attack (I found fire to be the most effective) until he turned towards me. Then I'd dart out on the opposite side and hit him again.
He'll be launching lightning attacks at you so you have to be quick to avoid them. If he hits you stay hidden behind the pillar and heal ( he always stays in that pool and doesn't come looking for you ). If he missed, then it takes him a while to recharge his lightning attack, so hit him with your most powerful shouts and magic while he's recovering. I used a shout that freezes him for a few seconds and then I'd go to town hitting him with as much fire as possible.
Just keep repeating that for about 10 minutes or so and he'll be dead. I had to take cover a lot when he'd manage to hit me to heal, but you can stay behind the pillar as long as you like to heal or use magicka restore potions. Luckily he doesn't have a heal spell of his own. Otherwise, he'd be impossible.
I stated this before, but I'll just re-mention it:
You can run back to the doors you enter. Close them as he approaches and he should fail to open it (9/10 times I tried, it worked). Just pummel him with the splash damage fireball and he'll die in a very anti-climatic fight.
I used a lot of potions on this guy, you're right he is tough. I was lvl 24 when I went after him, but was able to kill him on the first try.
I had a companion with me too -so that helped in terms of distracting him, I was able to use the slow time shout a few times, get close to him, and hack away. If you can summon an artinoch or familiar, that can help a bit too.
Drink some lightning potions or use anti-shock clothing as well.

I was only on level 12 without a companion, which could explain why he was so damn hard.
I'm currently working on the Stormcloak quests as part of the civil war storyline, and I've completed the quest chains for the following factions:
Mage College
Bards College
Thieves' Guild
Companions
Dark Brotherhood
Are there any more factions with lengthy quest series like those, or am I nearing the end? I also finished the long quest that starts with a simple drinking game, AND IT WAS AWESOME (I won't post spoilers, but if you've done it already, you know the one I mean).

Did I miss something? I took the short route
Spoiler!
I convinced someone into forgetting about the wedding ring and ran off to the dungeon. I blitzed through the dungeon, claimed by staff, and left. Was there something interesting that I missed?
If you do the quest the long way, you're sent on a Hangover-esque wild goose chase all over Skyrim where you slowly find out everything you "accomplished" during your night of drunken escapades...including abducting a prize goat and marrying a witch. You eventually find out that the man who challenged you to the drinking contest was really Sanguine (Daedric Prince of debauchery and drunken revelry) in disguise.

Well, I knew the part about Sanguine. I think the marriage was vaguely mentioned by the person I talked to...and that's about it. Damn...I should have decided to not attempt a speech test
I suffer from Chronic Waderallovertheplaceitis in this game. I will have a goal in mind but I can't for the life of me just head for the arrow on my screen.

I have this problem too...I was making my way towards a quest in some town on the far west of the map, and now I must have spotted something shiny over on the north east side of the map because I am over there now.

never fails. i have to reach an objective on the top of some mountain and i cannot find the "proper" path, so then i start my zig-zagging climbing which takes a good 10-15 minutes if it's a big ass mountain. then i finally crest to where i need to be, feel a large sense of accomplishment, then i notice a proper road 10 feet from where i crawled up

I did that with a stolen horse that I affectionately named Clip-Clop a couple of times. High Hrothgar being one example. I scaled some sheer rock faces that must've been 75* or more. It really let me put my old WoW wall-jumping techniques to good use.
Yeah the wonky physics where you can basically stick to a vertical surface as long as you only move sideways has let me find places in far more difficult ways than just following the path.
That and the super mountain climbing ability of horses.

Or fall from the bridge at the highest point at College of Winterhold with your horse and survive the fall without being hurt.
