Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim

[Bleck]

because when you're making Generic Shooter 3 2011 you need to make sure it looks like a popular game or else people will think it's gayhomo shit that isn't like call of duty at all

[Bleck]

also underground environments in skyrim look drab and brown because the actual underground is like you know drab and brown

[Brushfire]

I just got the Golduck as Fuck blade the Dawnbreaker.

It causes undead to explode, which in turn can blow up other undead nearby.

[Ramaniscence]

Sooooo I have a debuff that I can't see that dropped my weapon skills down into the teens. My "active effects" turns up nothing. I've been to shrines, drank potions, slept, restarted, and nothing has worked.

I can't kill anything anymore

There's got to be some kind of console command to clear negative effect, right?

Hey overflow, what game is this you linked?? It looks awesome like a Cynic album cover

Also here's a few pics I took in Skyrim

That's from a game for the GameCube called Baten Kaitos. It's a pretty cool RPG with some great visuals, although it has a slow start.

Also here's a few pics I took in Skyrim

Now THAT is what I'm talking about! I didn't see anything like this (or really much like any of those other pics) in any of the reviews I've seen for the game.

Can anyone with a not-so-good video card but otherwise awesome PC comment on how the game is running for them?

edit: my video card = minimum required, I think

[Nase]

lower range quadcore, 6 gb ram, gefore gt 230 (qualifies as not-so-good).

you can get it to 30 frames and have it look decent.

i've often thought about upgrading my gfx card to 'match' my overall specs, but i think playing this game with 7/10 graphics instead of 8/10 won't spoil any of the fun.

the most important thing is...you want to see those mountains meshing into the horizon. lowering the max viewing distance is going to make exploration less fun. thankfully i didn't need to

[relyanCe]

i've had this game since 12am friday morning and STILL have only played about 8 hours

FUCK MY JOB

[Scufo]

Is anyone running this game on a dual-core? My PC still has the ~2.5 ghz Core 2 Duo I put in years ago, with a slightly more recent graphics card (GTS 250), and only 4 GB of RAM.

Can I run Skyrim at a decent framerate on low graphics?

[ectogemia]

Sweeeeeet, that's good to know that I should be alright despite the fact my vidja card is lacking. Everything else is cutting edge... shit, my processor was almost $400 on its own. I run 150 parallel instances of Massive for shits.

[Kanthos]

I'm running just fine on my laptop with the graphics on medium and a lower resolution (1280x720); it's got an Intel i5 and an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 card.

[Scufo]

Dual-core 3.1Ghz + 9800GT 512mb + 4G HyperX

Still, the game runs super smooth.

That sounds comparable to what I've got. Should be good, thanks.

[Ryan Jobson]

lol... I've also had the game since 12am Friday, but I have only played 4 hours. I call it discipline - was working on finishing a sample pack from my latest field recording expedition

As for my rig, Skyrim was auto-set to run on High graphics settings on my iMac (Windows 7 bootcamp), but I set the graphics down to Medium for brilliant smoother play (although it was quite capable to handle high). Below are my compy's stats:

iMac 3.2ghz intel core i3, 12GB RAM, Radeon HD 5670 512MB graphics

And fyi, from all of those comments saying the game is too grey or dull or graphics suck or game play sucks or whatever, I really have no idea what you're talking about. I can't say anything bad about this game other than the fact that it does not slow down time allowing me to play it more without the repercussions of stopping all music productivity and other productive things.

-----------> Plus, there's dragons and shit. <------------

[Brandon Strader]

9800GT on a Gateway refurb, runs good most of the time, but there's a couple spots like the Thieves Guild cistern where it'll get somewhat sluggish but not unworkably so. Medium quality settings, not bad lookin'... check my earlier screenshots in this thread to see.

[lazygecko]

What difficulty are you playing at? I switched to Expert right at the start and find it fairly challenging, closer to Oblivion with OOO installed. I'm level 21 and things like bears will still fuck me up, although I'm playing a mage/warrior hybrid type and don't really excel in either yet. Had a dark elf companion from Dawnstar for a while who was pretty helpful, but he just got killed in a bandit ambush.

[Garpocalypse]

I'm loving this game. Forget the dragons, Solving problems by punching people, or watching salmon jump upstream, my favorite part of this game was when an NPC asked me if it was ok to take a piece of armor I just dropped.

Finally Nords are human and not big dumb softies.

[Brandon Strader]

Hah, some wench in an Inn asked to pick up the armor I dropped and I was like sure, go ahead... then I locked the door so she couldn't get in, because it was in Delphine's basement. And once I threw a bunch of stuff onto the street that I didn't need and a nearby Argonian in a tent was like "Y U THROW GARBAGE EVERYWHERE?"

[Super-Duper Sombrero]

"You shouldn't leave weapons just lying around like that, someone could get hurt. And if I see you do it again, that someone is going to be you."

GOTY

[Gollgagh]

some woman chastised me for rummaging through some barrels

also running around whiterun naked: "Put on some clothes, you damned fool!"

[Cecilff2]

Well that was quite the dragon kill
