Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Society

The second continues with the first's warranty, which is up to 3 years (I think). One warning is that if you send it away and they replace it, they'll take away your hard drive (and take away all your saves and games). They did that with mine unfortunately.

The only time my computer doesn't lag is when you're indoors; anywhere else and it's slow. So probably 50 sheep would make it explode.

I hated that! Speaking of visual glitches I remember seeing a guard getting the lower half of his body stuck underneath the ground! I don't think he'd be chasing me anytime soon!

SI was great, the best part of it being Sheogorath. He was hilarious!

Yeah, but if you had the patch then it was with scrolls (far less useful), and the Money was from the Count, a glitch looting a Dorian guy (I think), or selling equipment from your horse in the Kvatch camp. Useful stuff!

Good idea, but since I play on the xbox I can't do that - usually go invisible/chameleon and just run through, grab the items and get out. Although on this playthrough the loot is good for alchemy/money, so I sometimes kill them.

Oblivion gates could've been amazing, instead they're absolutely awful! Shame really!

You can combine spells now; double-panic-spell. Just to make EXTRA sure you've burnt the mother ****ers.

Only one way to do it RIGHT. Otherwise, I kept on reloading the auto-save from outside the front door. And burst in, knocked over ornaments with a weapon and then mercilessly killed the pair of 'em.
They aren't the most hospitable pair, are they? Walk in and suddenly you're being assaulted by a Nord Manservant with a ****ing huge Axe with the Elf cackling like a maniac in his ****ing trophy room.

Yeah. You prepped yourself for a fantastically laid out kill only to find that you can't even see the damage done without being spotted by Grom who's threatening the fallen head with a drawn-weapon.

Literally ROFL'd hearing this for the first time. But at the same time was thinking; "That's some funny ****, but I wonder who the sadistic person was who made this character. "

I could never get them to fight each other till the last two. Even with full disposition, it wouldn't work. So I just use to either run rampant in a blood-frenzy or do it sneakily and pick 'em off one by one. I actually got killed on it once; I think it was the second time: That Red-Guard Captain grabbed his kit and beat me down with a mace. I was only level 2, though.

Well there's the whole Dragon-Fire thing, but I guessed at first that was all just spiritual crap. I know what you mean, though: It'll be odd seeing them (such a popular creature in Fantasy) flying around, hunting people in the wilds and attacking places.

Not till you're really powerful. But it'll be awesome! I can't imagine its use being called on that often, though. I mean, how often in Oblivion did you fight huge groups of enemies?
Although, it will be quite funny to watch them descend down upon like, a mud-crab.

Unfortunately; you can't ride them. Just have them kill every enemy nearby.
I never really used Mods, but I did play a mate's who had the Dragon Mod. There was loading screens every other second, though.

It does? I may do a cheeky check and see if they'll do it for free.

That would be quite funny to watch, though. Just your computer exploding in a mini-mushroom cloud.
I found toggling the grass off in forests makes it run really smooth. And you can't really tell the difference; in fact, I find it better. The amount of times I've killed something/one and lost their body in the waves of grass and missed out; I dread to think.

He was. And the beard worked well! That's why they're using them in Skyrim. ! Still, that sword that changed between night and day, that was slick too!
I forget its name/s, though.

Oh yeah, the Dorian one too. I didn't know the equipment selling one? Which was that?
I didn't like how the GotY edition stopped 'em.

At least you're getting the kit. I dread to think how much money I missed out on. But seen as I sat and did the Count-Glitch for like, 20 mins? I was set.

To be honest, they just became the bane of Oblivion's storyline. Venture past a certain part, and 70% of enemies become Deadra. Not to mention having the damn gates every 100 meters, and thus forcing you to play in that bloody red, dark cloud crap with thunder roaring down the headphones every damn second.

Inspiration for the spells is supposedly taken from Bioshock which, if true, will be absolutely fantastic!

Let me throw this question in here:

What's the first thin you're going to do on Skyrim once you've become "free"? For example in Oblivion, it was leaving the sewers and seeing the north-east of Cyrodil for the first time.

On Oblivion, every single new game, I went straight for the Aylied Ruin (I forget the name) arrowed the **** out of the two bandits, went down into it and collected everything with money-value, went and sold it, bought armour and weaponry and went-a-cave diving.

On Skyrim; (assuming the whole climbing the seven-thousand steps isn't an immediate prerequisite for you to earn the full "sand-box" ability to roam); I'm going to find me a ruin, kill the enemies outside it, dive in, grab everything with money-value, sell it, buy armour and weapons (marvel at the whole game's design for a few hours in between these, mind), and go-a-cave-diving; with the sole hope of finding me a spider to slay.

I read this in an interview so it's true! Bioshock spells were genius - you use a fire spell, the enemy lights on fire Use an electricity spell and they actually were electrocuted As opposed to most games where using a spell just does a certain amount of damage until the enemy dies

I wanna play Bioshock now

Brilliant! I really hope the spells do turn out to be as good as those in Bioshock, since I loved how realistic they were! If I'm honest I think the plasmids were better in Bioshock 1 than Bioshock 2, since in the latter they were more clunky and difficult to use, as well as not being as realistic as the first. Would be amazing if they included things into Oblivion like being able to shoot electricity into water to fry your enemies!

The first time round that I play, it'll probably be with a focus of completing the main quest, but also happily accepting any other distracting quests I come across on my travels. I'll play it as a roleplay - kill anyone who annoys me, steal whatever looks fancy when nobody's looking, go-a-cave-diving if I'm low on cash and need stuff to sell, and actually become the character. That sounds like it'll be good for immersion and getting addicted to the game. No using UESP to cheat my way through either!

After completing the main quest, I'll put an end to that game and start fresh. But this time I'm on a mission to complete every available quest, maximise every skill I have, collect one of every unique item I can, and generally seeing everything the game has to offer. Of course I have no hope of ever doing this (I'm still in the process of trying to 100% Oblivion), but it makes me feel like I'm getting my money's worth

To answer the question, usually I sell all the stuff I nabbed from the tutorial dungeon to get some cash, keep the basics and find a bandit/valuable cave. I mostly use light weapons/armour and magic, so just sell off all the heavy stuff for good money. Or failing that, become a member of the Dark Brotherhood and get easy money.

Ah, but before all this guys, you'll be standing to marvel at the world. The most brilliant part of Oblivion is when you start of as a prisoner, in the relatively dark environment, and when you open the door out of the dungeon. You then step into the living, breathing (and, at the time, graphically awe-inspiring) world and gape at the water, trees, skies, grass etc.

One of the first pointers out was how realistic they're going to make the spells.

Instead of just giving enemies a healthy white, blue or red glow, this time they'll actually burn skin, scorch armour, freeze body parts, make them twitch on the floor and stuff.

Bioshock 1 was good, and whilst the atmosphere was definitely better, the game play and overall revamp on Bioshock 2, I thought, was better. The only downside to it was that we'd seen Rapture. Been there, done that. The second was just causing havoc trying to find a little girl.
Saying that, like I said, overall the 2nd was better. The Little Sisters alone were just awesome!
The choices you made were more clear cut, as well; either leave this person alive, or kill 'em.

you cheating kids having to resort to the console to get things done

replaying oblivion atm on the pc, loving the dark brotherhood quests all over again

...prior maberels paint horse got killed by a random bear in the xbox version he was invincible

Not at all. I've played Oblivion through completely on Xbox, and on PC; it was only after doing so twice that I began to use the Console-Commands.

In the Xbox AND PC version its invincible! It does **** ALL damage, though. Like, less then a Rat/Mud-Crab's.

I have to admit that this time I unlocked the door to velen dreath's cell to punch him in the face a few times but that's it

why is mine dead

I never did that. I did make armies of sheep and begin huge riots, though.



Well, it was possible for them to die if you left them to run into the Great Forest; where it'd find a bear, a minotaur or (depending on how far through the game you were) a Deadroth to pick a fight with. That's just asking for trouble.

Or if you jumped off a cliff that was too high for dear ol' horsey.

For example, I jumped mine off that camp (I forget the name). Highest accessible place in Oblivion without No-Clip or flying mods.

I'd do it. Hell, the kid can change their name whenever. Anne Rice changed hers from Howard when she was in the 4th grade, for instance (that was just cruel of her parents), and as names go, it's not as bad as some of them out there.

Genuinely? It says a lot about how much someone values their child if they're willing to sell their name for the price of a video game or two.

As opposed to someone who names it some pile of crap for no real reason Catch yourself on. It's a pretty cool name, like G8D says, and it's a lot better than some of the names kids have been called. I knew a kid called Phil McCracken. How is Dovahkiin worse than that?! Then there's that silly Swedish family who named their kid a bunch of letters and numbers and gave it an arbitrary pronunciation, and all the rest.
