Just goes to show, new kids go crazy for snow....
Not surprisingly Skyrim is blowing away Oblivion sales which was a crappy game
As far as competing with itself, Skyrim's initial retail sales are up six-fold over Oblivion and will outsell the previous title in just a few weeks.
-
Skyrim game sales to more than 3.4 million in its first two days, and that's just at retail. Not included in that figure are all the digital sales

Yeah, I had a dog, left him alone a few nights, and got the announcement he'd gone. So much for loyalty.
They call themselves "War Dog" for a reason. They want to be out and about. If you want the stay at home type go buy yourself a chihuahua :tongue:
-
Yah on my squishy pure mage build I have the dog and Lydia with me at all times. They keep aggro off of me well.

Radiant AI is pretty cool. I just got my first Wowza moment. No spoilers in terms of dungeon name but there is a particular dungeon with rare ores I hit. The ores respawn I believe once every game time month. Anyways having been here several times I pretty much know the layout and the map is full view in terms of passages cause I been here before.
My recent trip however, things changed. Bandits took over the Mine. I found a note on the table at the early part of the entrance stating they took control. Upon clearing the mines and taking out the bandits, I ventured to the very end cause some rich ore veins are there. Only this time, I noticed a new mining tunnel opened up. New Bandits who took over made the Miners digg deeper? Who knows but it was pretty cool. This extra tunnel had me going in ever so deeper, probably had another 20 minutes easy of content added into the mines exploring. Was pretty amazed.

Skyrim is amazing, thanks for sharing ....

I once was being chased by a hard hitting Bandit leader. This guy was taking half my health on one hit, :blink:
Only thing I could do was run but he was hot on my tail. In front of me was a strong current River so decided to jump in. The current took me down a few ways and I got embedded on some rocks. Luckily it was out of Line of sight. The bandit leader stood over the rocks shouting where I was. He was patrolling back and forth looking for me. Eventually he gave up and left. :tongue:
-
Yes did that quest on my Thief, bounty is easily over 10k. I have killed all the guards in this city cause they attacked me. Decided play it out and see what happens......

So your post count is "ONE". You started a new account here just to rant?
Hope it made you feel better

Most likely critical killing blow shots

Here's a summary of all the issues with the UI
*You can't rebind controls without wanting to shoot yourself. Try using "E" for jump instead of the spacebar and "Q" for favourite instead of F, etc...
*Hotkeys are limited to 12345678, rather than the usual 1234567890-=
*You can't hotkey stuff on your left hand
*Hotkeys should be assignable directly from the menus. Right now you have to Open Inventory>Browse to Item>Press Favourite Key>Exit Inventory Menu>Go to Favourires Menu>Assign Hotkey. This should not be more complicated than "Open Inventory>Browse to Item>Assign Hotkey"
*You should be able to un-assign favourites from the favourites menu. Right now, if I want to un-assign say “Flames”, to go in Magic>Destruction>Flames>Unassign. This should just be Favourite>Flames>Unassign
*Horrible, horrible use of screenspace. You have a list of 9 items and you need to scroll to see the end of it. See this link for the long version.
*Mouse support is horrible
*In the perk tree, moving up, then down (or left, then right), doesn’t return you at the same perk most of the time.
*Unable to view entire perk tree in one glance
*Unable to get quick overview of your skill progression.
*Left-clicking on the map should be a “grab map” command, so you can move it left/right/up/down with your mouse. Right-clicking should be for adding markers. Double-left-clicking on a known-location should be for fast travel.
*You can't access other menus within a menu. Why must I exit the inventory before checking out my spells? Why can't I go from Inventory to Map directly?
*Can't access local map directly. First need to access map, then go to local map.
*If I accessed the local map the last time I checked the map, the next time I checked the map, the local map will still be there. If M is map, and L is local map, I don't want to see the local map when I press M.
*Can't see encumbrance when buying/selling items
*Can't easily compare merchant inventory with my own inventory. Put them side by side, not one on top of the either. Likewise with containers
*If I do a "take all" in a contain containing one item, the item is taken, and the contained closed. However, if I do a "take all", nothing happens, and the container is not closed. This asymmetrical behaviour makes no sense.
And so on, and so forth.
Most all your issues resolved with the purchase of this item. It's 75 bucks online now but look for Black Friday deals. I purchased mine last Black Friday online for 40 bucks including shipping. With your present setup (assuming you a right hand mouse user), what does your left hand thumb do? Complete waste of a body part right? Wtih this amazing item your one thumb which basically did nothing on a standard keyboard has the ability to create not 1, not 2, not 3, but up to 10 hotkeys just for that single thumb!
It's a PC gamer must have item....

I never liked the Jack of all trades playstyle one can attain in TES series as I felt it becomes a self suffiicient EZ Mode. Absolutely no challenge to pull with Fireballs, Tank with Plate and finish a mob off with a 2hand sword....but to each their own.
Per Skyrim I rotate between a pure mage, pure thief and pure warrior and they stay strict with what perks guild houses they are able to attain to keep the game semi difficult.
Mage: No weapons, he runs out of mana means he either is able to run and escape or dies. Enchanting skill, college of magic guild only. Clothe only etc.
Thief: Daggers and Archery only. Alchemy only, limited to dark brotherhoold and thieves guild and light armor
Warrior: Smith, Imperial Army, stays away from colleges and guilds like Dark brotherhood and Thieves guild that don't suit the character.

My skyrim thief is a female. A class that relies on agility and stealth fits the female sex perfectly as opposed to a muscle bound male :tongue:
In addition some games the female models are done better. When I played WOW, Human Males running motion looked like they had a stick up their behind...

Most of the peeps who hate it are probably using a 2 button standard mouse and basic keyboard. With my N52 TE gamepad I get 10 extra hotkey buttons just for my thumb. UI is great with the proper hardware setup.
Only change in the UI that's needed is a buff timer bar to show on the main window, only thing I would change.
So we should dish out extra dollars on extra hardware to make a half assed port better? That's not the solution.
A serious PC gamer does not play with a basic 2 button mouse and 5 dollar keyboard. I mean if you gonna spend 200++ bucks on a video card to max the Skyrim graphics out you selling yourself short by going with cheap input devices
I am using a Logitech board that cost me 85EUR(prob over 100 dollars) and a ROCCAT KOVA mouse-never let me down on other(more technically achieved) games/interfaces.
The interface has all the listed issues, even on top input hardware, because it was designed for use on a gamepad/360/ps3 controller. Gamer reviews and pro critics have commented on the UI for these reasons.
It has got some serious problems and it is not a question of a 5 dollar mouse over a Naga you will still see the same problems being reported by the majority of players when it comes to cheap ports.
Also if you are a player on PC you just have to flip the box to see no kind of serious rig is needed for this game.
LOL

I wish I had the OP's problem. My arrows seem to miss quite frequently on moving targets, even if I try to lead the shot of his expected end locale.

With your analogy Dragon Age 2 should have clearly outsold Dragon Age Origins which we all know wasn't the case.
Skyrim is just a better game...period. Oblivion was unplayable without mods. Skyrim is amazing without mods. but hey to each their own, sales figures don't lie
