Elder Scrolls V in the works - direct sequel to Oblivion - Page 138

I will admit that she wasn't the best during the Companion questline. I just like free archery training. I don't use followers really ever since Lydia died.

She was horrible and I don't bother with followers anymore. Lydia was always like 700 yards behind me when a fight broke out and by the time she got there, I didn't need her service anymore. I used her as a pack rat.

Aela just sits at Breezehome in Whiterun making money for me and providing training in archery.

I just finished the Thieves Guild and the Nightingale Bow is awesome...and the Nightingale Armor makes me look like Batman!

It's gonna help a lot when I start the Dark Brotherhood here soon. The boots make you silent. No noise when you sneak. I love it. I didn't like having Brynolf along for the trip...but Karliah isn't bad. She's halfway decent in a fight. Brynolf...well...I don't like him much.

I'm running out of things to do in Skyrim...

Boy are you going to be mad when you see the enchantments and stats on your Shrouded Armor.

Really? Running out of things to do. You must not be playing the PC version or your not modding one of the two.

He's on Xbox, I think.

I haven't added any quests via mod, only new quest content is from the DLCs of which I've bought two but haven't played with either of them yet. And I *still* haven't done everything there is to do, or if I have some of it was done only once and so long ago that I barely remember it.

Lol I found a dungeon on my last playthrough that I was SURE I'd never seen before, only to get part of the way through and suddenly remember having gone through it once a long time ago.

I am on Xbox. Yes.

I wish they still had the Fighter's Guild and I really liked the Great House thing in Morrowind...

Morrowind was such a good game... I think I might play it this weekend...

I tend to "cycle" my games if it is something that I like it will stay in my active library for a long time.

For example I have had Fallout 3 since launch in 2008 and it has never been removed from my PC same goes with Oblivion another permanent slot in my library goes to IL-2 1946(started way before 1946 came along).

I also tend to take my time when playing a game why rush through it? That is what the consoles force players to do to some extent.I disagree a good game should still be playable and enjoyable at least 5 years after it launches.Now You don't have to play the same game constantly for 5 years but you get my drift I think.

I fully agree. I still play games from a while back. Console games are too short and if you want more content you have to pay. It's a shame that my system isn't very powerful graphics-wise.

Actually you don't really need that grand of a PC to play games like Skyrim,FO3/FONV.I have a fairly modest PC from 2008 and I can run these games fairly well.Sure I am not running them maxed out but you can see shots from these games that I have posted in the Screen shots thread.

I have an Intel Q6600 quad core 3GB RAM an EVGA (nvidia) 440GT
on a 1680x1050 monitor. With that I can play most games that I like anyway just fine.I don't get the highest FPS but that really only matters with a high end simulators or certain shooters neither of which really interest me.I play Red Orchestra 2 but that game is not FPS intensive.

You could buy or better yet have a decent shop build a good gaming PC for you for around $1,000 and that would do well for a good while.

One benefit of the console domination of the market is that it actually stagnates what most PC games require to run because most games are designed multi platform.This in my opinion is good because you dont have to run around updating hardware every two or three years.

One of these days I'm going to get me a good gaming rig. When I do, I probably won't ever play xbox again. PC Gaming is so much better.

I have good specs, but I have a 64 MB Graphics Card....on a laptop...which means I cannot change it.

I'll get there eventually.

So let me get this straight... If I haven't completed a certain quest in skyrims main quest line and I travel to solstheim I cannot do DBs main questions?... BS! Not even a prod to let me know. Wow

Yeah. That's right. You've got to wait for certain events to trigger. Makes sense story wise.

Oh man i never thought i would miss this game. A mate offered me his Xbox so i could try out Skyrim from the TV at a distance of course. I know i can play games from a distance just not close up as long as there is light in the room. Cant play it on the PC tried and failed i would have to sit a few feet a way from the monitor if i did.

Try it out on Xbox. I really like it on Xbox.

Well I just bought Dragonborn but I don't think it's downloading yet as the latest HD textures update started as soon as I went online with Steam.

Anyhoo... biggest potential issue with mods seems to be DB followers not working well with UFO's multiple follower setup, altho there is a workaround (don't try to take a DLC follower without dismissing all other followers first) and a few people I know aren't having any problems with it at all so far.

Other smaller mods I have for things like potion weight and better sorting will need to be updated to accommodate new items but I was gonna have to do that for the other DLCs anyway, so I figured I might as well get DB now and take care of all of it at once.

Given how quickly they got the first unofficial patch out they will probably have fine-tuned that a bit more before I'm ready to play so... yeah.

Still not looking forward to trying to re-mod the player housing with HF in the mix but I'll figure it out. That should only keep me out of the game until... oh, Easter at the latest.
