Elder Scrolls V in the works - direct sequel to Oblivion

[frau kaleun]

When I first got a PC
My boyfriend told me, "Girl,
Don't ever mess with RPGs,
They'll mess up your whole world -"
But I killed a man in Skyrim
Just to steal his swag,
And of course I ditched that boyfriend
Cuz he was a drag.





At first changing the GPU settings didn't seem to do anything, but I bounced the Options back to Low and then worked my way up again and now I'm back to High and it's doing great.

And yeah the mouse sensitivity still kinda sucks so thanks Dowly, I found a site that has a lot of those tips but I didn't bookmark it and wanted to mess with the GPU first. But I'll give that a try with the .ini file.

Ah, the iron helmet. Whatever the race, whatever the gender, the Dovahkiin must wear the iron helmet.

Well, I doubt this one will be missed... the guy I stole it from was beyond caring. And had been for some time, judging by the looks of him.

If you add a fix so steam is not in the picture you wont get any problems, Ive never had the mouse problem nor CTD's (1 ctd before the fix) or anything else that messes with the game, only flying elephants & a bug where I lost my weapon or maybe it wasn't a bug I was just to blind to find it.

Enjoy the game

OMG CURSE YOU GUYS FOR TELLING ME HOW GOOD THIS GAME WAS.

So I went to some Jarl's crib to confirm the dragon attack at Helgen and how Riverwood needed reinforcing and then he introduced me to his wizard dude who sent me to look for some dragon stone or something in Bleak Fall Barrow which turns out it's at the TOP OF THIS BLOODY MOUNTAIN and it's taken me the better part of the evening to get up there but I finally did so I just entered the hall or temple or whatever after killing some more peeps and exited the game at the autosave. I'm on Level 2 now apparently?

Oh and I kept trying to go through some Grotto or something thinking it would get me through or over or across the mountain and this thing that looked like it was made out of a swarm of nasty bugs kept attacking me and killing me. So I didn't try that more than three or four times, lol. Then I ended up going through a pass and there were fighting skeletons and an apprentice necromancer who killed me once but I got him the second time. There was a human heart up for grabs on his workbench but I took a pass.

So in my Skills or whatever it says I have the Dragon shout or whatever it's called but I can't figure out how to do it? I put it in my favorites and I keep trying to "arm" myself with it but nothing I click on makes it happen or at least I can't tell if anything's happening. So I've pretty much stuck with my sword and have stuck quite a few other people with it as well.

OH JEEZ LOOK AT THE TIME I GOTTA GO TO BED I HATE YOU GUYS.

OUCH! I sense a ghost in black coming to haunt you.

Push tab, go into magic - shouts - click on the shout you want so the arrowhead shows up next to it. Then when you want to use the shout use the Z key (default key for me)

@FK

You need to kill your first dragon to activate the shout. Every new shout you
get, needs to be activated with a dragon soul (which, of course you get by
killing dragons).

Yeah I found the thing about pressing Z when I actually looked in the little manual that came with the game.

Not the dragon shout, just a battle cry, I think it says. I guess there is more than one shouty thing you can do.

After burning an embarrassing amount of hours into this game, I can say I am still not really done.

I am enjoying the scenery. Yesterday I stood on a rocky outcrop over a waterfall, watching (Skyrims verson of) the the aurora borealis. I looked down to admire the water and saw fish, specifically salmon jumping up the waterfall. Just then across the bank an elk darts by, followed by a little bunny.
It really was beautiful...

It disgusted me, I promptly told my wife Aela the Huntress to stand near the edge, and gave her a generous FUS RO DAH, that blew her into a rock sitting center stream, and laughed maniacally as she washed over the waterfall.

Best fus ro dah video:
I watched this vid too many times and still laugh at it.
It is a better meme than the tired overdone arrow in the knee.

Yes, your racial powers and any other powers you pick up through the course of the game can be used by pressing the Z key. Go to the "Magic" menu and then look under "Shouts" and "Powers" to change the active one.

And to add on, you can favorite shouts and powers and bind them to your 1-8 keys, same as you favorite weapons and spells. Makes for changing shouts fast without interrupting combat flow. The usefulness of hot buttoning my shouts has been infinite. 2 or 3 are outright overpowered.

Also High Hrothgar gives you free dragon souls. (kinda)

I don't think the losing the weapon is a bug. I have forced my targets to drop weapons several times. Using anything with explosive force I believe has a chance of hand equipped weapons unequip and they DO fall on the floor.

ie: If the enemy pulls out a sword and you paralyze them they drop that sword.

Oh god, nvm.

You'll figure it out, enjoy.
