It's out now and the reviews are overwhelmingly positive.

Here are sometweaks for the game to help with stability and performance.

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'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.

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.
