Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

[krulmichael]

Jumping back on this after bout a month layoff.

[Leftwich]

While I wait for Mass Effect 3 I'm gonna attempt to take a chunk out of this.

[Champ]

Im going to go pick up my copy of Skyrim from my cousin's house and play again until ME3 comes out. Gabe you getting it on the ps3 or 360?

[Maynard]

this council with the greybeards is annoying. i had to reload and cant advance the dialog. im forced to sit thru it all over again

load times are an annoyance now too.

[jaxjaggywires]

Load times on my PC are almost non-existent...pretty nice. Also finding things I hadn't yet come across since I made the move from 360.

[Maynard]

yeah, i wish i had this on the pc. i am way to far into it now to make the jump over.

the load times never bothered me before. but after putting in 175 hours it starts to get annoying. especially when doing the main quest with all of its back and forth back and forth quests where have to enter 3 doors just to talk to someone.

[jaxjaggywires]

One thing that was interesting is, on the 360, I wound up in Markarth by way of a Daedric quest where you pass out and wake up there, so I never had to actually manually travel to the city. So, on the PC, I walked there (and forgot that I hadn't done it before), and was like "none of this looks familiar". Damn hagravens and trolls almost took me out.

finished the main quest. this is one game where finishing the main quest first is the best choice. i wish i had these rewards earlier in the game

as for the main quest

 

it was a bit of a let down at the end. my battle with aldwun took all of about 30 seconds. it was no competition at all. none of it was really all that compelling either. i played through it being bored with the story and wanting to just get it over with and go on to the action.

going into that mist area was cool to look at, but it didnt add to the story. i guess i was expecting to be left with some feeling of wow. for a game that is this epic and the depth and scope of the world, i was hoping for better story and ending.

oh well, im off to finish the civil war

Yeah...

 

Once you get the dragonrend shout, killing dragons is a whole lot easier. Comes in handy, but really takes a good bit of the anxiety out of fighting them, even the final boss.

I think if you do purely the main quest from the beginning then it would be much more fun and challenging, but I did dark brotherhood and all sorts of shit first, by the time I got there my guy was too overpowered.

sold my 360 copy to a friend for $30...downloaded a cracked pc copy just to check it out on the pc. load times are none existant like jaxjaggy said...especially with an ssd.

graphics are on ultra and look great, but not like super great compared to 360. just passing time with this until the show comes out

The big bonus is, the game actually runs at 1080p...the console versions are at 720p, so things should look sharper, especially on ultra. Only real stuttering I've noticed, on my machine anyway, is on the initial load after I installed the high-res pack from Bethesda. But, after the intial looking around the world, it's all smooth again.

The other big bonus on PC is, of course, the mods...still trying some of those out here and there.

[Maynard]

i dont think i can get patches with this cracked copy. i know i can add mods though. the game does look alot better....very crisp as u mentioned.

i may end up buying the pc version cause i want to be able to get all the patches

[JTRaines92]

No ones playing this no more? I got stuck in a fucking corner and can't move so I have to start all the way over. I was like on the last Thieves Guild Guild mission. I'm fucking pissed.

[Golden Taters]

Probably won't get back into this until DLC comes out.
