  1. According to other sources only the exe was replaced. It is in order to prevent the game from running without steam. There is no change in version number nor in game functionality. The game's version number has not changed. I find it ironic that they give Steam a patch before they give the game it'self a patch. There will be more no-steam mods to come, fear not.
  2. I love when people use the word "broken". In order for something to be broken it must first have been functional. If the game is too easy for you then change the difficulty setting. In order for there to be a stable level of difficulty the game would have to linear like the Witcher 2, or have areas of the world closed off to players like GTA or Dragon Age. In Skyrim you have a completely open world, you can do the main plot firs, last or not at all. So there is no way of determining what level you will be when starting a given quest. There is a price that must be paid for freedom in a game, so the level system is just that. If there was no map then you would spend hours upon hours wandering aimlessly. Skyrim is a big place.
  3. True to some extent. For instance, when you watch national geographic...villagers have exposed boobies everywhere, there must be all kinds of accidental nipple grazing going on... But you never see them on youporn. Also in Europe, don't women go to beaches topless? I know here in FL, South beach in Miami is topless...
  4. I love me some digital vagina. However, nudity in games should come from modding, not from original content. The Witcher 2 had some serious nudiness, and sex scenes. I don't recall a media frenzy about that but I could be wrong.
  5. So true... I definitely have spent more time looking for mods than actually playing... The frustrating part is that after the first couple of days all of the mods started repeating themselves. I hope the construction set comes out before everything in Skyrim has a f***ing troll face on it.
  6. The Storm Cloaks and the Imperial are both cool... I wish you could just bring them together against the Thalmor.
  7. lol Some one needs to create a mod to randomly generate a new NPC to take the place of murdered ones in the world.
  8. I agree that elves are ugly. For my thief/assassin character I couldn't bring myself to chose an elven character... They seriously look like crackheads... Maybe they've been dipping into the skooma
  9. You haven't played many PC games have you? *snicker* Skyrim is by far one of the best games out there, but like most, it is buggy and Bethesda is once again dragging their feet on the Creation Kit. Releasing a buggy game and a kit that allows you to fix said bugs is one thing, but releasing a game with bugs that make the game unplayable all the while failing a promise that people would have that kit on "launch date" tends to ruffle some feathers. I've expanded, from PC games since PCs don't get half of the great game releases that systems do, or they get them long after. Been building PCs since my Pentium 233 system, on to AMD Athlons, Voodoo video cards. Been over clocking them, and even worked assembling and customizing systems for corporate security. I love PC gaming, because it gives my PC a reason to have better than average specs. I first got Skyrim just to hold me over until SW:TOR is released. You cannot expect a game with this much content to be without bugs. So much work goes into a game like this that it's impossible to catch all the bugs before the corporate higher-ups decide that they've waited long enough to get a return on it. They could have given us a game without any bugs, but with only two thirds of the content. Skryim is definitely not a half-assed game. Skyrim is an ambitious game, and a few bugs is a small price to pay for the realization of that ambition.. EDIT for Karasuman: I agree that Morrowind was a much more revolutionary game. But there are financial and technological limits on games... As detail rises it becomes more strenuous to create an equivalent game... For the same reason that Squaresoft refuses to remake Final Fantasy 7, it would not be profitable with all of the detail that needs to go into it to being it up to date. I loved Morrowind, but if you put it side by side with Skyrim it would be a huge difference. Also Morrowind was created as primarily a PC game, where as Skyrim was released on three platforms that differ greatly.
  10. I understand that the game isn't perfect. But name one game that tries to do what TES does and does it better than Skyrim? If you don't like something, that's fine. When a UI mod comes out I will be first in line to dl it. However, I've read reviews that went on and on about how the game feels like a PC port, and pointing out every minor glitch as if Bethesda's designers and programmers threw it together half heartedly. The fact of the matter is that no blockbuster video game will ever be developed primarily for the PC in the foreseeable future. PC gamers are a minority in the market. I even buy most games for my Xbox, however with games like TES series, Mass Effect, GTA I purchase them on my PC to reduce load times, increase graphics and be able to apply nude mods. ;D I've been gaming since the 2D era... Some shitty games have been released that deserve s***. But Skyrim is not one of them. Skyrim definitely raised the bar for open world RPGs in every respect. Oblivion was mediocre, mods made it great. However Skirym is great, and mods will only improve that greatness. EDIT: Remember, games are made on a budget. You can't expect a complete universe with unlimited freedom, that is just unreasonable. Now we can create armor and weapons and cook food, we can enchant...So yeah, minor sacrifices were made, but they were an expense for other new things.
  11. I can't wait for the construction set to come out. Right now the majority of mods are retarded... there was my little pony horses... and now there is some troll face meme going on. I understand about the modded oblivion situation. But Oblivion was released in 2006, thousands of modders have been working on it for five years! I cannot complain about what has been done by Bethesda. They have improved a lot of things over Oblivion...When Oblivion first came out, I didn't even like the game.
  12. I hear so many PC gamers and reviewers who nit pick minor details of Skyrim to complain... Meanwhile, there are so many great things and details within the game. Why are PC gamers so ungrateful? We get a construction kit that will enable us to recreate the game a million different ways, we essentially get complete control over Skyrim. I have been gaming for a long time... There are a lot of games that don't live up to the hype, but Skyrim has literally amazed me.
  13. Oh sure, there are. Still, they removed attributes and i was trying to explain why it feels like a big loss to some fans of the series. To be completely honest I never got why there multiple stats that needed to be leveled up. You level up "Two-handed weapons" then you also have to level up STR. The one thing that I don't like, is that they got rid of the "acrobatics" skill.
  14. There are numbers all over Skyrim. Percentages are numbers, Armor and Swords are rated in numbers. HP, MP and SP are measured in numbers. Just because there isn't a traditional Stats screen that displays them all in a list that doesn't mean that the numbers aren't there.
