yeah....the extra 'a' in those is just weird.....all I can do is blame sleep deprivation. I do the daedric stuff by memory at this point ><''

dragons start rising in force... that's as far as I have gone with the main quest. But it got dragons into the world so I could suck out their souls to power my Voice ;)

Daedric Arms and armor War Axe, 139ba3 Warhammer, 139ba4 Bow, 139ba5 Dagger, 139ba6 Greatsword, 139ba7 Mace, 139ba8 Sword (1h), 139ba9 Boots, 1396a Gauntlets, 1396c Helm, 1396d Armor, 1396b a note, for Heavy Armor users, Daedric is slightly better than Dragon Bone Plate, but for Light Armor users, Dragon Scale is so far the best. Daedric Weapons are the best you can craft period

Need Daedra Hearts for Deadric Smithing, luckily...... 0003ad5b for Daedra Heart edit : I also have the item codes for all daedric armor and weapons. Let me know if you want them for this

Irritating glitches with known codes. TGM, Armor skills will not advance no matter how many times you are hit. Player.setav [skill], will not advance past one hundred, skill turns green, to denote enhanced, can cripple leveling. TMM 1, the all map locations cheat, random CTDs with this one, do NOT get them when it is not used. Have the same issue with FONV. and to bash some myths. Console cheats do NOT prevent you from getting Steam Achievements. Infact the 100000 gold achieve automatically happened the minute I gave myself enough gold. TGM still works JUST fine, minus the annoyance of your armor skills never budging. So right now, gonna have to console those skills to advance them. Heavy Armor and Light Armor respectively.

I've never had an issue with it Xaliqen, but that IS good information for those that do. I give the default directory when it is asked about for the simple fact that most using mods for the first time wouldn't consider NOT using the default instilation folder. Vista and I had a.......conversation......a while back. It doesn't mess with me now. It is afraid. :devil:

Not sure on the HOW of it with decapitation or limb damage, but the latest vid, which dealt with animation specifically, showed combat with a giant where striking its knee made it lose balance and actually crouch/kneel down. So there IS animation physics to work with. Havok Behavior is leaps and bounds more advanced and FLEXIBLE than Gambryo ever was. my point.......it will likely be possible to mod in some kind of damage effects like you are talking about.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data that's where they are, just like with New Vegas. Modding will be no more of an issue with Skyrim than with NV :) hope that helps

Diablo 3, Mass Effect 3, WoW. **shrug** I raid 2 nights a week in WoW. Not much else to do till MoP Beta

I have a couple play throughs in consept mode. First will be 'Little Girl', a Khajiit female. Unarmed specialized likely to join the Dark Brotherhood. Beware the wrath of Sithis in the form of a death from above claw attack! Dragons are not Little Girl's concern. Yes, you look at the pretty dragon, Little Girl will make sure it is the last thing you ever see.......and then run like you wouldn't believe when the dragon spots HER. ((Little Girl being used to formalize Kitty, as opposed to using Katya, is a long running joke from a pen and paper RPG I was in years ago. My charactor was a big goon named Bear Food. Another player's charactor was named Kitty, short for Katya, and acted like a princess......so Bear Food called her Little Girl all the time. Ah, those were the days :P)) Second will be Jo'akyr. An Argonian spell caster UP TO NO GOOD! What that means, not even Joker knows. Jo'akyr is a strange lizard. His idol and delusionally claimed mentor is Maiq the Liar. In his own mind he is a great hero. Sent by the Nine to BURN OUT EVIL! And by evil, I mean anything that isn't REAL. Like children, dragons, horses, and Bosomer. "Like I tell you, Ssssssir.......I have only ever heard of ONE Bosomer. And it died two hundred years ago at the hands of the great Champion of Cyrodil, Sheogorath! The Arena Fan. A blight more evil there never was befor, or since. So if there are Bosomer, it must be the Evil One's ghost possessing a proper Nord. **Nod Nod**. The safest way to exorcise a possessing entity is to set the poor unfortunate host on FIRE. Drives the entity RIGHT OUT. And then you just keep burning because the soulless husk is undead. Zombies are bad. Especially headless ones. How DO they keep following me?" What can I say, guy is just NUTS! after that......well, depends on what mods come out by the time I have assassinated every possible person with Little Girl, and Jo'akyr's mad crusade against the impossible gets him killed.......and not possessed by the Evil One.

Unless Anwolf gets ported, or remade, Akina gets retired.

That's actually the benifit of discussing this game with the core MODDING community, as opposed to reading the Steam and Bethesda forums for it. Much less doom and gloom, and for what little there is, someone probably will craft a mod to deal with it. As for companions........no matter how good or bad the AI is......they always get me noticed when I am being sneeky, no companions for me.

Obsidion is made up of the original creators of the Fall Out series, actually, so when it comes to the story, they know what they are doing :laugh: As for the topic at hand.....and I am only going to say things officially confirmed and not go into speculation or spoilers...... NV is set five years after FO3. Where the Capitol Wasteland is in a state of survival driven anarchy, NV is on the verge of social order being reestablished. The game areas of NV were not directly hit by nukes durring the war, there is vegitation, color, what not. Companions are easier to manage in NV and all the main ones give you some form of Perk. Traits are part of char creation. Perks are earned every other level, not every level. Level cap starts at 30.....and stays there. Girls can be pretty out of the box based on some of the footage. Faction standing has more to it than random accidental friendly fire setting an entire group hostile to you. Wearing faction armor has stealth benifits, something described as the disguise system (note that if you wear the garb of an enemy faction even your friends will shoot you Like being friendly with CL and walking into a camp wearing NCR armor, they don't ask, they hit you with sticks)

I went the easy route, Steam preorder and the Caravan pack. Wake up late on tuesday, make some coffee, read the paper, and then one oclock should roll around and........New Vegas until I have to go to work on Wednsday! Thursday.........GECK. I have sworn to myself that NV is going to be when I learn to mod.

New Vegas WILL work in offline mode, this has been promiced on both ends. One time activation is needed to be performed online. Here is the trick, you can go to a friend's house and activate it. Or find a wifi spot and activate it on a laptop. Five - ten minutes tops to activate it and then you only need internet for patches or DLC. Simple. The Bethesda official forms have stated that the PC version is Steamworks and Steamcloud. The X-box version utilizes GFWL as that is proprietary to the hardware. PS3 uses the Sony platform. Steam is a LOT less intrusive than GFWL. It isn't perfect, but it has the smallest footprint currently out there. Mods will not be an issue through Steam, and you won't need to BYPASS Steam to use most mods like you needed to bypass GFWL for FO3 when it was only GFWL. my honest oppinion here......Bethesda went looking for the platform that would cause the least issues for the majority of FO-NV players, and Steam is what they came up with.
