Rented it.

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 :VSander-Don wrote:

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.Soly wrote:

Also, will these extra shadows eat my FPS?
By the way, this game has more retarded glitches than new vegas. Its funny though.

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.Remco32 wrote:

I've played about 4 different people now. Eventually I will progress.
It's a console port bro, no need for a high-end PC.Soly wrote:

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]
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/fi ... 31#content
the only downside is, it drops fps about a quarter
15fps drop - Inside Building fps
73>>57

I couldn't play longer than 15 minutes of this
terrible engine, terrible design, terrible everything

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.Two wrote:

Just ignore Two, he's that guy who plays all shitty F2P MMORPGs and enjoys them. And judging a game after 15 minutes? Go troll somewhere else.
I'm really surprised how good Skyrim is, I expected Oblivion with improved graphics but it's way better and I can't stop playing it. The only thing I currently want is a mod so I can sort my inventory and treset my perks.

Oh, btw, an online friend of mine made a Skyrim mod which displays your current PC time on the loading screens. It really helps giving you you're sense of time back.

You don't have to manually check the time, since it's displayed at every loadscreen. That's the point of it.
At first I thought it was quite trivial too, until I gave it a try. No it's a handy addition.

Though I'm constantly alternating between that and this :V

Also this mod (rather an ini tweak once again) is pretty awesome
You can download a preset ini here http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=145
or you can tweak it yourself
Installation:Not something I'll use in the long as of now since it kinda spoils exploration, and it does make the game more crash bound, but it's pretty neat to test out especially if you're already done with the main quest or something.
1. Open file C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\My Games\Skyrim\Skyrim.ini
2. Append the following lines (if there is no MapMenu section) or change existing values to match them:
[MapMenu]
uLockedObjectMapLOD=0
uLockedTerrainLOD=0
bWorldMapNoSkyDepthBlur=1
fWorldMapNearDepthBlurScale=0
fWorldMapDepthBlurScale=0
fWorldMapMaximumDepthBlur=0
fMapMenuOverlayNormalStrength=2.2000
fMapMenuOverlayNormalSnowStrength=0.8000
fMapWorldMaxPitch=360.0000
fMapWorldMinPitch=0.0000
fMapWorldYawRange=3600.0000
fMapWorldTransitionHeight=130000.0000
fMapWorldMaxHeight=130000.0000
fMapWorldMinHeight=130.0000
fMapWorldCursorMoveArea=0.9000
fMapWorldHeightAdjustmentForce=100.0000
fMapWorldZoomSpeed=0.0500
fMapLookMouseSpeed=3.0000
fMapMoveKeyboardSpeed=0.0005
fMapZoomMouseSpeed=5.0000
sMapCloudNIF=0
3. When browsing ingame map: use WASD for slow scrolling and mouse for fast. Hold RMB to rotate camera. Zooming with mouse wheel.
Troubleshooting
1. Game crashes on save load - remove lines with uLockedObjectMapLOD and uLockedTerrainLOD
2. Love clouds? Aww.. Then remove line that contains sMapCloudNIF
Known issues
- No world map indoors and in towns.
Oh and there's also a bunch of good visual mods and on the plus side has little to no performance impact.
Detailed Faces
No More Blocky Faces/Natural Faces
HD/Enchanced/Not jello blood textures
Enchanced Night Sky
Sunglare
Really gives out a subtle yet very effective graphical improvement.
Also for those who are playing 3rd person often or just noticed NPCs looking weird while running with dual wield weapons, some guy also made a "fix" for it

Holy sssssss

Xfire tells me the time in the top right corner of the game 100% of the time as well as the FPS. It's small and un-intrusive so you don't notice it, but if you look for it you can know the time at any point. The mod is literally pointless for me. I have Steam and Xfire in-game working with my pirate version, but I plan on buying the game eventually.Remco32 wrote:

I also set alarms when I need to do important things.
