Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

[Mr Hat and Clogs]

Well about 13hrs in and only still in the first town Whiterun. Have been gallivanting around for the Companions and the Jarl. Good times, good times.

Created a Dunmar "spell blade" (melee/caster hybrid) it's great fun. Just need to get to the stage so I can summon weapons IMO. heh. But really, it's pretty hilarious to duelwield spells.

Ok... I see now what Keroko ment...

5h left and I can play!
...
...


EDIT: Ok, I followed some advice, deleted the local content and retried the installation. This time he startet to install it from the disc.
Very strange... i got a "Steam server is too busy" message before he startet to download it all, so I guess this had to do with it somehow.
Now 5 hours turned into 10 minutes.

I think they were asking about the size. It's 6GB as announced already when the specs came out.

Gotta say I'm glad I got my SSD drive in time for Skyrim. Can't say about installation when Steam does it for you when downloading but in game .. Loading screens? Not for me. They just briefly flash there, you don't even get to see the '' smoke '' on the left corner.

On another note, I'm playing an Orc, enjoying it so far - wish the quest pointers were a little more clear with side quests though, been wasting a lot of time with that....

I'm also finding the difficulty a bit of a step up - just went into the shimmering cave thingy and got annihilated. Does this one not scale to level like Oblivion did? If not, that's good in the long run!

Yea I remember that damned cave, I gave up on it till I get higher levels. and as far as i can tell, no it doesn't scale like oblivion. (Thank, GOD-er talos...akatosh?.. what ever )

Graphically look worse than Battlefield 3 and Crysis 2 and yet hardware requirements are alot more stringent.
Playing on Ultra on 1920x1200 and in the first 5 minutes, there are moments it dipped as low as low 30+ FPS. The only other poorly optimized game of this calibre is Witcher 2.

From gamefaqs no less, This person hardly knows what they are talking about -_- and off the Dark Soul's board there , they are trying so hard to piss me off with their "Hur dur skyrim's combat is sooo trash, Dark Souls spoiled me! I can only accept a game that entirely revolves around combat, and not much else."

Hah, you obviously didn't see the Breton presets. Easier than Oblivion though, simply because the system isn't broken as hell.

It's nearly impossible to make a young handsome man...
By the way does anyone know how to make screenshots in Skyrim and hos to rotate items on PC version?
I mean I press "C" = zoom but can't rotate..

[Tong]

The beginning IS MEANT to be demanding. Think of that as a benchmark.
that's probably the most demanding part.

[Flying Dagger]

Still on expert difficulty:
Spent almost 30 minutes trying to kill a troll (they are pretty strong and self regenerate but are weak vs fire) as a melee character. End up having to give up .

I still feel that the game difficulty toning is "a little bit off" - a lot of the elites I have killed pretty much died to being "dumb" (allowing me to run away, heal up, recharge stamina, then re-engage and perform my power attack, rinse and repeat). Another case is this bandit leader at the top of a cave: I am able to easily outheal+outshoot him using a bow: but if I am to ever engage him in a melee fight where he takes out his lightsabre 2 handed axe he will turn me into a meat pie in 3 swings.

My friend is playing an assassin type character: dual wielding daggers and sneaking around. he found the game to be almost impossible since a lot of mob packs watch each other's backs, and he just cannot survive any "boss" fights.

Is the game easier for you mages out there? (esp after getting a follower)

[Dist]

Haven't met a troll yet but dunno about it being easy .. Spriggans owned my ass within seconds . Sabre Tiger clawed me to death with one blow . Giant blew me like 100m up in the air

Those damn undead things in the caves where Shouts can be found from are damn hard too (the ones with the greatsword). I could have a follower but I don't want one. I like to be and play on my own. Besides i like to kill everything and everyone... I'd end up killing my companions sooner or later :x

I've been mostly roaming about and doing quests around the second city so I haven't even managed to go to the magic school way up north. I should head there soon.. It's obvious that my basic shock/frost/fire spells are almost useless against tougher enemies.

The game is really fun though as a mage, unlike Oblivion where mages were like.. the most useless thing ever without some balancing mods. And now spells actually look different.. gotta love dual wielding spells or wielding a blade and spell in another hand.

To move the item you hold the left mouse button over the item and drag it around. and a screen shot is F12 for PC.

Nah, I like my women Nordy But I saw the presets my female nord ended up looking meaner than my male ._.


on a side note, LOVING THE GAME! 9.9/10 the 0.1 will be included once some issues get patched, like undead surrendering, mammoths flying up into the sky and falling, Menu is a bit loose like when I try to click on a type of items i want to buy it will exit the merchant screen @_@


#1 Troll in the game, Undead that laugh at you if you take to long to kill them. They had my eye twitchin in annoyance

Screenshot on PC is .. uhh, screenshot button. It even says '' Screenshot saved '' ...

F12 is the steam screenshot button I believe....

[Kyero Fox]

Finally getting used to the favorites button, but I still wish there was a shortcut keys like in oblivion. on my num pad mouse, all my middle buttons were Sword,bow,2hander and the outter buttons were spells.

[Dist]

^There are shortcut keys..? Press 1-9 on favorites menu.
