Rimland

every 20 seconds you might find something... so, I stopped using horses

SO ! Yet again, some some stupid reason, FPS has dropped down to 5. Zero problems until I leveled up at 50 ! now FPS have all of a sudden dropped to 5 and game is slower than molasses. I. hate. you. Bethesda !

TALOS duh ! it reduces time between Shouts... and Skyrim is all about the Shouts i.e. the cool magic. pretty ingenious of Bethesda. Instead of having cool spell-tomes... they did it through the shouts ! fits well with the Dragon lore. We all know Dragons, in every medieval fantasy lore, breath fire, but Bethesda, really went a step further, they just be talking is all

riddle me this and i'll riddle you that ! why, 1000s of year later, are Septims in the dungeons? let alone, why are Septims in Skudafn ? exactly ! i'm sure there'd be gold, just not gold with a Septim on it !!!!

the Adoring Fan, fleeing from Cyrodiil, caught at border, By Azura, by Azura, by Azura... the Dovakhin used to be the Adoring Fan but then he took an arrow in the face and since that time, by Azura, the Adoring Fan was forever transformed by a Daedric Prince, shooting a poisoned-tipped arrow, soaked in dragon blood, right in the face, by Azura, and it backfired, rather than killing the Adoring Fan, it turned him into... "Believe, believe, the Dragonborn comes... For the darkness has passed, and the legend yet grows, You’ll know, You’ll know the Dragonborn’s come" Dovahkin ! Huh, ho-ah, huh ! oooo ! Dovahkin !

thanks ex-lax ! ...i took an arrow in the knee! that getting old yet?

http://www.malukah.com/ http://www.youtube.com/user/malufenix#p/a/u/1/KNDT7EInclo http://www.malukah.com/free/ download covers above had to share the links ! I.WANT. THESE. COVERS. IN. MY GAME !!!!!

i've been saving Blackreach... went their for the Main Quest but didn't fully explore it ! but it blew my mind ! Found Mr. Alchemy-From-Oblivion's book, whatever his name is... now i'm even more intrigued !

i know that ! but, what i'm saying is, factions and reputations in New Vegas felt so much more significant than in Skyrim. don't know why, just does. they feel they're missing, in relative terms, in Skyrim compared to NV.

i guess in a nutshell Skyrim could use a reputation system... like one you can view in your UI and affect through quests actually, the Radiant Quests would be superb for that !

won't Primm not help in you New Vegas if you join Powder Gangers?

... dragons ! they're random encounters too ! i love the RE in Skyrim ! here's a really good "trick" go to Western tower, head south, random event - near silver ore. travel towards Secunda's Kiss (giant camp), turn left, go up mountain to the Bleak Falls, the "other path" to the lookout, down the stairs and then you're in front of Anise's Cabin... and another random event. go back whence you came and you'll be back to the random event behind Western Watchtower... whole new random event. then go back to "in front" of Anise's Cabin and whole new random event. good fun. do it 6 or 7 times, back and forth, and you'll be amazed at what, and whom, you can find !

It happens once in a while. What I know is that these cinematic sequences are only shown when there aren't any other enemies around. And you need a special perk for one-handed or two-handed. My character is wielding two swords and sometimes he decapitates enemies using some kind of scissors-technique. seriously ! OMG ! screw the bows !

Stealing random items from the mages guild really isn't much interaction, its exactly what we have now but the location of said item has been moved. Also that causes the possibility of not being able to join every faction, if the mages guild know you Steal from them why would they let you join? Lachdonin's dungeon example goes against his quantity over quality statement, if each dungeon is unique then it has more quality then Oblivions dungeons. If anything, for dungeons at least, Skyrim exceeds more in quality then quantity because Skyrim has less dungeons and they are better designed/more unique. yeah i did notice that and figured he just mixed up his words

Most followers ARE tied to quests involving them. New Vegas only had merchants yelling insults at you, Having max rep with the legion didn't bar you from shopping at NCR places and vice versa. Skyrim is no different in this regard. Publishing means NOTHING. getting mad at Bethesda for this is like getting mad at EA for not making Valve quality games because they public Bioware's games. Being a publisher means literally NOTHING. 1. okay, followers' quests should have expanded on their back-story, like Erandur's... all the follower's ! and his quest is a Daedric quest anyways. Erandur was the 2nd follower I picked and man, all the rest just aren't as good (haven't done Cicero yet and DB Guild) 2. okay, it would be interesting having traders not trade with you due to your in-game decisions... i know NV not like this, just making a point, but thanks for pointing out my "mistake" 3. indeed, evidently, publishing appears do not mean anything at all. all i was saying, my 3 fundamental criticisms of Skyrim, one might logically assume that these cool immersion techniques Obsidian did in NV might have been adopted by the publishing company... Bethesda... that's all.

i have yet to see a decapitation in my game ! is this a mod or does this really happen? ... i like bows !

for me there are 3 fundamental problems with Skyrim in the context of immersion 1. no Hardcore mode. magicka, potions, and now food can heal. That's nice. how about... Hardcore mode ! 2. followers are "expendable drones." They should have had own separate quests and personalities beyond "mage" and "housecarl" and "barbarian" or "Nord" Bethesda did published New Vegas... 3. most importantly, factions... been helping the Stormcloaks and, no one cares. Legion don't care, and towns associated as being "legion" don't care ! zero consequences... Bethesda did published New Vegas you know ! 3(b). armour ! like in New Vegas which faction armour you wear should have an effect these 3 elements that Obsidian did so well with Fallout New Vegas are missing from Skyrim, and for me, that is just unacceptable and downright insulting to gamers... especially Bethesda gamers !!! I mean, Lord and Murphy, Bethesda freakin published New Vegas! Hardcore Mode; Followers with quests, stories, and personalities, and; factions that have relationships of consequence between each other are what i would call, "elements for improving the effects of immersion in contemporary Open World RPGs" that should have been in Skyrim. Decisions you make while becoming Head of Guilds should effect HOW you complete the other Guilds' quests the Civil War quest and the main quest; who will trade with you, and random events !

seems Radiant Quests trumped Guild Quests I want to join the College ! Okay, summon Flame Atronoch, and if you can't, than go buy the scroll 15 seconds down the street ! But I'm Dragonborn b!t@h! Let me in!! okay :( LAME ! the only thing that makes sense about the Psijic Order is that it'll be the DLC ! serves absolutely not purpose should be renamed the Psijic MacGuffin !

technically speaking, they're called "Daedra artifacts" and since artifact means "made by something", and by virtue of the word Daedra being used synonymously with the word artifact... the "twisted usage" of artifact, has been indeed, compensated for. i know you're referring to... who knows what, just wanting to be a smart a** here :) I'm a big stupid troll ! The Gandiva: the bow, when twanged made the sound of thunder (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gandiva) Pinaka: the divine bow of Lord Shiva it will bring the end of the world. Others say that the flying arrow destroys all evil on earth to uphold dharma and righteousness. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiva_Dhanush). Perhaps a bow that has a unique feature against the Undead... or Vampires... or Werewovlves Brahmastra: The weapon was also believed to cause severe environmental damage. The land where the weapon was used became barren and all life in and around that area ceased to exist, as both women and men became infertile (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahmastra) Perhaps a bow that kills more than one enemy with one arrow? i.e. shoot one of a group of 4 bandits and all 4 are killed Cupid's Bow: causes fear, rage, (instead of love) for enemy's above level 50 or something

When over burden, and you want to move faster, other than cheating through console (yeah we all do it !) or using a shout, crouch, draw an arrow, but don't release it, and for some reason, you will move slightly faster ! weird !

Which of the two armour sets do i choose? Basically play as a thief and silent assassin.. so leaning towards, well duh! The light armour, but it seems the Heavy has a better perk-thingy-a-mo-bopper, doo-hicky-tree, what-ch-McCall-it-constillation. Do I go with Heavy or Light... and both have a perk that makes armour weigh nothing suggestions anyone!

1.if you found the "gate to nowhere" in the Southwest that "won't let you go that way" then I'm guessing one of: Orsinium High Rock Hammerfell or 2. another Daedric Plane like in Oblivion or 3. Somewhere in Atmora

The Elder Scrolls VI: Summerset Isle that's what it means !

I. WANT. MORE. QUESTS. AND. MORE. LOCATIONS ! same with Oblivion, FO3, FNV... more quests, locations... and i suppose weapons ! me thinks Bethesda should have learned a couple of things from Obsidian !!
