I am going to camp outside spaceworld or gamestop the whole night, then I will assassinate everyone without anyone knowing, then I will steal skyrim, without anyone knowing, but then the police will appear out of nowhere and "*phrase*"

The "premium quality" map with a "feel similar to burlap" is actually a paper map with a tiny bit of texture. I feel cheated.

I have work and School today. Started yesterday. Jesus Christ, this will be the hardest school/work day in a very long time.

tis okay

is just as good/better than oblivion so far, so at least they've improved somewhat. i like how the spellcasting robes are actually suitable for combat mages now, and not just gigantic dresses like the other two games. the magic system is amazing now and it is very hard to want to play any other style, at least for the moment

Edit: Getting rid of this.

Only played for a few hours and already loving the game to death, almost everything good about Morrowind and Oblivion mixed into one game without any of the bad (aside from classic Bethesda bugs and kinks here and there). Definitely a GOTY candidate for me.

also lol

Playing it right now. Get 50 mins into the game and then I get stuck under a freaking ledge, and that happens to be where my autosave is :(

This shit ALWAYS happens to me, I bet I'll get a power cut to compliment it.
Assuming you're playing the PC version, press ~ to bring up the console and type in tcl, this will let you noclip out of there, just type in again to disable.

Rented it.
Level 4 so far.
Did that fucking quest where you go up that big ass mountain and talk to that godess lady thing and get a star for her, then fuck that dude up that was inside of it. Now I got dat bitch on my team and we're kicking ass and taking names.

Yeah I dunno. Its cool.

Not really lucky since you'll most likely get owned when you encounter one on a very early level, eventually leading you to just run away :V

Guess how many times I got noticed about Mara in this game?

12. Not kidding.

I bet these people haven't played previous Elder Scrolls.

Dunno if this will be helpful but a few things I've run into on the PC version:

-Vsync can be disabled by going to the skyrim pref, head under [display] and add "iPresentInterval=0" to the bottom of the list.
-Mouse acceleration can be turned off in skyrim pref should be under [controls] "bMouseAcceleration" just switch to 0.
-Opening console "~" and type "fov" followed by whatever value you set it lets you edit view. I set mine to around 80.

"bTreesReceiveShadows"
"bDrawLandShadows"
Switching these both on (1) make the game look so much better aswell o.o

Skyrim is a great game.

@30 seconds is explains exactly why.

Why would you want to disable V-sync.
Also, will these extra shadows eat my FPS?

By the way, this game has more retarded glitches than new vegas. Its funny though.

I've played every elder scrolls game.

So far my character is:
Breton (25% magic resistance) (dragonskin)
Warrior star sign (putting points into 2H, heavy armour and restoration) (restoration later)
As for stamina it's always going to be 1/2 my HP till it hits 200 where I plan on just putting everything else into HP.

We'll see how this piece of crap turns out. I was thinking of a tank type but not too weak in attacks (hence 2h). It's going pretty well so far on master difficulty :)

It helps with your mouse movements when vsync is off. As for the shadows: probably, when I turned them on I didn't really notice an fps drop. I assumed you would have a rather powerful PC if you are playing the PC version.

It's a console port bro, no need for a high-end PC.

Speaking of tweaks and stuff, there's some pretty nice details you can turn on aside from shadows on landscape and trees. Like lowering iBlurDeferredShadowMask will improve the sharpness and definition of shadows, increasing fTreesMidLODSwitchDist for LOD Distance, iShadowFilter to give out better filtering of shadows, activating bTransparencyMultisampling will of course, allow transparency multisampling iWaterReflectHeight and iWaterReflectWidth to change reflection resolution, iShadowMapResolutionPrimary and iShadowMapResolutionSecondary changes shadow map resolution. Most of the res of the stuff are 512 and 1024 by default, resulting in some fuzzy/blocky looking shadows and stuff, increasing them will at least give a more neater PC look for Skyrim.

To anyone who doesn't want to look at every single value on the inis but just want to ahead and achieve Skyrim looking at its best, I already made a tweak that's maxed out + changed and added values to give a better effect.

http://www.mediafire.com/?xwpz92riz99rhh3

Backup your current Skyrim and SkyrimPrefs.ini at Documents\My Games\Skyrim and extract my inis there

Just remember to change iSize H= and iSize W= to your resolution in SkyrimPrefs.ini, don't use the launcher's options as this will revert most of the stuff in the tweak



It's not a dramatic difference but it sure helps a lot to improve the overall look and immersion. And no this really won't drop your frame rate a lot, at most it'll drop about only maybe 1-5 out of your overall max frame rate.

Leaving this here, great mod for those who says that skyrim default colors are dull
[kinda makes skyrim textures better]

the only downside is, it drops fps about a quarter

15fps drop - Inside Building fps

You make a valid point and you should consider yourself lucky you have no sense of commitment or effort for enjoyment because this game is a curse that takes all of your precious time when you need it most.
I cannot put this down despite how easy this is to break.
