also, got this game for christmas - holy shyt. this game is amazing. pickpocketing is so satisfying. stealing decked-out glowy armor from the Riften market stalls at night is positively orgasmic. upgraded a scimitar to 31 damage @ lv12. the waterfront home in Riften is so pimp.

tl;dr BUY THIS GAME.

Are you seriously wanting a less powerful computer haha.

Also, Made this bow last night, ****s shit up hard.



This is with all of my archer gear on though, I think base attack is 74.

I believe Skyrim is pretty alright. My favorite is still Morrowind though. Skyrim and Oblivion fail in comparison to Morrowind in my opinion, especially with these new graphic mods that I've seen for Morrowind. I very much like Elder Scrolls, but I'm hoping they return to their older ways.

After playing Skyrim a ton I can pretty conclusively say:

Morrowind > Skyrim >>>>>>>>>>>>> Oblivion

Morrowind >> Skyrim >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Oblivion... Once that revamp of Daggerfalls comes out, pretty sure it will also surpass Oblivion.

It's almost like people are afraid to let go of Morrowind. Skyrim is better than Morrowind, and much better than Oblivion. Morrowind may have a good story, but there is more to a video game than lore. When I play a video game, I want to be entertained. If I wanted a story, I'd read a ****ing book. Morrowind's combat system makes me want to choke a baby.

Point is, I know Morrowind is great, but seriously. Come on.

Skyrim feels too generic with me. Elements that Morrowind had, that I feel in love with, started diminishing in Oblivion, and seemingly don't exist in Skyrim. For a generic mainstream-feeling open world RPG, it's good. But for an Elder Scrolls game, doesn't quite feel right. It's not that people can't let it go. It's just Skyrim isn't the best... Like saying Super Mario Sunshine is the best one ever. Games bloody awful compared to Super Mario 64.

lol morrowind game of the year edition ownd it all

[phe0nixblade]

my third playthrough is a hybrid bow/dagger assassin with thieves stuff
got my smithing to 100 so i could make daedric daggers/bows but went up the light armour side of the smithing tree not realizing that if i wanted to do daedric i'd have to go up heavy
FML

My little Skyrim,
I used to wonder what friendship could be
My little Skyrim,
Until i took an arrow in the knee
No more adventures
Criminal scum
A beautiful necklace
Armor heavy and strong
Sharing mead
Is an easy feat
And Magicka makes it all complete
My Little Skyrim
Do you know you're all my very best companions

If you don't care about story or lore, then perhaps RPG's are the wrong genre for you.

[hi19hi19]

I always lol at "if I wanted a story, I'd read a book" comments because... If I want a story, I play a good RPG lmao
Besides, the combat in Skyrim is hardly any more engaging than Morrowind or Oblivion. If you're playing this game for the combat you're probably doing it wrong, try reading the quest text next time.

What's the big difference between "cast my one spell that kills everyone" in Morrowind vs. "swing my dagger that always does 30x damage and oneshots anything" in Skyrim?
Combat in every Elder Scrolls game thusfar has been shallow as hell, I don't care.

[Profraine]

Unless you crank up the difficulty, then it's a scary game of hit and run. And Skyrim has no Speed stat. Crap.

I'm playing on Master. Still 1-shot anything besides like an Ancient Dragon, which (god fobid) I have to hit twice to kill
Been that way since Sneak hit 100, the final Sneak perk is so retardedly broken if you have a good dagger.

I usually don't use that strategy just because it's so lame, but honestly combat in Skyrim is not why I play the game lmfao


Anyway at the moment I am 100 hours into the game, finished Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood questlines, almost done with the College of Winterhold and Main Questline.
I'll be doing Companions after that and finishing up all the random Daedric quests and stuff.
Saving the Civil War quests for last (which is kinda sad because I can't get the best house until I start them but whatever)

I've only run into two glitches so far-
End of the Thieves Guild questline is a little glitchy for me. Apparently this is because I finished the main quests before finishing the side jobs to gain influence.
Brynjolf only says "I'm busy now lad" to me instead of the dialogue he's supposed to have, and Karliah is not in Nightingale Hall- she's standing in the random Nordic ruin where she first shot you with an arrow for some reason, though she has the dialogue as if she were in Nightingale Hall. I've tried fixing this with console commands but the suggested fixes aren't working for me :/

And Shadowmere randomly fell through the earth when tanking a dragon for me and died outside the level geometry. Debating bringing him back with console commands because that's seriously lame and I miss having a badass horse lol

Help!

My friend just bought the retail version of Skyrim after playing the pirated version for a few months.

He is able to play fine in 3rd person - but whenever he switches to 1st person, the graphics become jittery and choppy. Help!

He's using a Macbook Pro I think - and it is able to run Skyrim fine in normal graphics. It's just that 1st person view makes the entire game laggy as hell.

[supermousie]

I guess people just don't like the Bits and Bytes forum @_@

Try reinstalling the whole game.

Has anyone else stumbled upon this yet?

Essentially the developers were given one week to go crazy and add ANYTHING that they wanted to the Skyrim engine. This is the result.

This should really be released as DLC of some sort.

Yeah, it would be nice if they release these separately as mods or something. A good deal of this looks pretty good, especially the dungeon enhancements. It would really take the repetitiveness out of Skyrim dungeons.
