[Obmm win 7 limited use help please! Thank you]

I agree.

 

Windows 7 is the first OS in the Microsoft series that I've seen where you can be Administrator and yet you still need to ask your computer permission to let you do anything.

 

I turned off UAC completely and trust more than one third-party security program to handle the things UAC is supposed to be protecting me from.

Will kill every sheep he sees in DA2.

[Questions regarding "Always use best attack"]

I did some Googling around to see if people use this setting or not when I stumbled upon a post in this thread:

 

Is this true? Nearly everyone seems to have it turned on. Thanks in advance.

 

I'm sorry I misunderstood.

 

What's it about?

[Questions regarding "Always use best attack"]

I always turn that setting off. My character already blocks automatedly. I don't want my entire combat experience to become automated. That's just my preference.

[Get rid of negative endorsements]

Leaving downloaders no ability to make constructive criticisms in the endorsements or comments of one of my uploaded files to me would feel like I'm this little kid who's just done some crazy piece of artwork and I'm showing it to the rest of the class with the teacher standing behind me making sure nobody says anything to hurt my feelings.

 

I don't want the site to get into a state where I can upload any old set of ugly deformed companion characters with no worries because I know the site doesn't allow anyone to say anything other than good things about my submissions.

 

I understand there's a difference between constructive criticism and insults and that commenters sometimes seem to not know the difference, but this is another topic that has been debated here more than once.

 

The bottom line for me is that I want downloaders to be able to tell me what they think of my work one way or the other. Whether or not I allow their input to influence my future works is entirely up to me.

[Does anyone still play Oblivion and morrowind?]

You're definitely not the only one. Trust me.

Passionata.

The above user most likely hates that Caprica was cancelled just as much as I do.

[What mods should I begin with]

Is this your first time playing FO3?

 

If you like the Goddess Store you will most likely also like Ling's Finer Things.

 

If you like companions similar to CM Partners, please also check the FO3 link in my sig.

[What Do You think About "Nehrim" ???]

You could've used 'tcl'...

 

The quest apparently is triggered by the player equipping a torch. I felt silly after I figured it out since the game gives you a message telling you to do just that. I could've TCL-ed my way to the exit, but all the quests would likely have been borked.

Likes LEGOS.

[Opening Elsweyr and Valenwood]

@ lonewolf_kai & mccrab:

 

Thanks for the info; I'll investigate further.

 

Sad to hear the project might be over with though.

[Opening Elsweyr and Valenwood]

You can get Elsweyr the deserts of Anequina here: http://www.tesnexus....le.php?id=36303

 

Is that the same as Elsweyr the Deserts of Anequina?

[What does the above user's signature say about them?]

The above user has been through the desert on a horse with no name.

[How can I run Fallout 3 without a disc?]

Fallout 3 script extender also will do the trick.

[Opening Elsweyr and Valenwood]

There's this massive mod, Elsweyr the Deserts of Anequina, but it appears to be under construction again.

 

I recommend marking it in your tracking center and keep an eye out for it to become available again because it is very well done.

[What Do You think About "Nehrim" ???]

At the beginning it makes me fall down a hole and I can't figure out how to get out.

 

LOL... I finally figured it out and made it to the outside world. It looks really cool and very well done so far.

[Have console games eclipsed the PC game market?]

This may be true in the case of DA2, but I don't think it's true for gaming as a whole.

 

Console games are directed mostly toward a very specific target audience: individuals too young to have jobs yet or to buy their own computers, so their gaming experience is limited to what they can talk their parents into buying for them.

 

Personal computers are a prolific presence in our world and a part of our everyday lives, so I can't imagine PC gaming ever being totally eclipsed by consoles. The battle will rage on, this is certain, but neither side will ever truly win.

 

In the case of DA2 however, I just really don't know what the developers must be thinking.

[What's your favourite mod?]

An Oblivion mod that I consider to be essential is CM Partners.

 

The last update was about two years ago. Since then script extenders have been updated and companion systems for the Fallout games like RR Companion Vault and NCCS have shown that the scripting is capable of doing so much more.

 

CM Partners is a great mod, but I'd love to see it updated to include features similar to those found in the newer companion systems. I just don't know enough about it to do it myself.

[Graphics Don't Cut It]

I hereby give you your first kudo.

 

I've been saying something very similar in the forums for a while now but it's not a widely popular opinion it seems.

 

In a nutshell, I believe that what makes a good game has very little to do with the quality of its graphics. A well-written story and absorbing, entertaining gameplay for me lend more to an enjoyable gaming experience than leaves that cast shadows.

 

Like you, I hope Bethesda doesn't sacrifice the things that make games great for me by focusing all their attention on making the snow look ultra-realistic...

 

...or by relying upon us modders to make their game good for them. But that's a whole other topic...

[Windows 7 and External Hard Drive]

Thanks for all the responses.

 

I'm going to return it for a replacement.

 

I'll let you know how it turns out.

[Minor Annoyance]

I don't know if this is a help or a hindrance, but...

 

...I'm using Google Chrome and I see the appropriate spaces between the title, the "by" and the name...

 

...on a 16:9 monitor set at 1360x768.

 

With this browser I've also uploaded and downloaded from the site with no issues, as well as posting and PM-ing.

 

It's Chrome v9.0.597.98 on Windows 7.

[Windows 7 and External Hard Drive]

Quoted from the box:

iomega an EMC company Select Desktop Hard Drive 2TB PC/Mac USB 2.0

 

serial # XTA0512957

 

Assembled in China

 

It has one USB cable and one AC power adapter. I've already tried the USB cable from the other drive which I know works.

 

I'm gonna poke around in my bios and see if I can figure something out. I've heard that some bios don't handle large-capacity drives, but I'm assuming that if that was the case then the new internal drive wouldn't work either.
