Game Rules. The atmosphere and terrain are absolutely amazing. You will often be climbing peaks just to get a view of the valley below.

If you got your salad tossed while flying on an airplane it would be a skyrimjob.

6. No Spider Mod
Arachnophobes like PC Gamer contributor Richard Cobbett have a hard time with games like Skyrim. Which is why No Spiders patches are so useful. This first attempt at a spider free Skyrim is particularly hilarious, as it replaces the models of the spiders with hilariously out of place bears.

What's the DRM situation? The last Elder Scrolls game didn't have any, and sold a shitload of copies. I just read that Skyrim has shipped 7 million copies, so far.

Giants are no fucking joke, so true. I'm playing on the second highest difficulty, and I've only gotten two dragons. Never gotten one solo. Usually need the whole village to help out.

I'm going to buy this during Steam's Christmas sale.

I've been playing this game on really hard difficulty, and it's tough, I die pretty often.Last night I realized that I could hire warriors to fight with me, leaving me free to do fun things like channel lightning storms through my fingertips.
Then it was 4AM, and I was like: "OH GOD WORK IN THE MORNING".

Not one of my deaths, < but awesome anyway! >< Bonus death > (this one involves some kind of walking on horses bug)
Edit: Man, that horse makes a funky noise at the end of the second one.

One of the good things about waiting so long to play a game like Skyrim, besides the price, is eventually they'll fix most bugs and add new stuff. < Legendary mode. >

Anyone play this ever?I finally installed it tonight.

I finally got around to finishing it last year for the first time. It was fun.This is one of those games I'll go back and play again in a few years.

Posting this for later, assuming it will be meaningful to me then, but not watching now in case spoilers< Video >

lol, funny. Not spoilery at all.

Hilarious!

Hah. I just started playing last night... and that video happened to me.

I accidentally pick-pocketed the first NPC, he killed me.The first town I went into, I entered a random building, I didn't see anyone around so I started stealing stuff. Turns out they were downstairs and came up to fight me. I killed them, but one's an NPC who keep regenerating.
I went to another town, and helped killed a giant. While conversing with an NPC, a town guard shows up and kills me.
Respawn, go back to the new town, NPC guard kills me.
Respawn, go back to the new town, NPC guard kills me.
I googled bounty, and apparently I'm supposed to get put in jail or pay a fee, but this fucker just keeps killing me.
Apparently my impulse to just kill and steal is bad. In BorderLands, you can just take anything, and you can't kill many characters. Stupid open world.

In Scrolls 4 I kept picking up missions that had nothing to do with my.... class, or whatever. Got frustrated and quit.
Posted by TheCatt on Jan. 11 2015,21:01
Yeah, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be doing really. My missions are all over the place "Join the dawn guard, join the imperial force, join the brotherhood, join the assassins, join the thieves" -> Am i supposed to join them all?The weapons mechanics (long and short range) would be nice if I could assign hotkeys, I do not see that available yet. I've had a few bugs with people following, and a mission that seemed like there was a next step "person said go to X and kill things," but then it didnt show up in my mission log.
The game got a lot easier once I stopped killing everyone.

I avoid the Elder Scrolls series in general because of the massive time sink.

I didn't realize how much of BL was on rails, relative to Skyrim. I have no idea if someone is good or evil until they either attack me, or they don't. I can see their hitpoint bar, but I have no idea what level they are. Some enemies just stomp me, and I stomp some other ones. Other than "giants are dumb to fight" because of that comic on the front page, no idea how I'm supposed to know this.

1) I figured out hotkeys.2) Turns out the guard was killing me because I was in a mission where I was killing something, and my weapon was drawn. Once I withdraw my weapon, he just arrested me and made me pay a fine.
3) The level thing is still getting me. I clearly went somewhere I should not have, because I was suddenly getting one-shotted. I googled the enemy, and it appears to be a level 30+ enemy, but I'm level 12. So I went back to easier missions, which I have no problem finishing.

This game got much, much easier when I figured out the following:1) There are 3 movement speeds, not 2. The one I was missing was sprint.
2) Two-handed weapons have a power move (maybe all weapons do?), which makes them much, much more effective.
3) Your NPC companion person can follow you, and never dies. I thought if she came with me, she'd die.
Posted by TPRJones on Jan. 31 2015,19:49
Your NPC companions can die, but only if you hit them when they're down. Don't do that and you'll be fine.

I'm not good at avoiding friendly fire, but I try.
Need to get back to this game and finish it.
