GTX 460, GTX 470, GTX 480, GTX 560 Ti, GTX 570, GTX 580, HD 6850/6870, HD 6950/6970 Any of those should be good, pick a few that fit your budget and then google some reviews and comparisons for those cards. (the ones I listed are the ones that I can come up with right now, but there are probably other decent cards out there as well) Do note that with a more powerful graphics card, you'll need a more powerful power supply. Find out what your current power supply is, what its wattage is.

I didn't bother reading the previous answers, but here it is: I REALLY hope it isn't stupidly obvious which quests are main quests and which are side quests. It's probably close to impossible to make the main- and sidequests completely inseparable (best word I could think of for this situation) but would be nice to have that in some degree, at least. E: Just realized I didn't actually answer the question, I won't think about it too much. I'll go as I please, at least try to. After the first playthrough, I'll probably play the main quest once in a while to get something, items/armor/shouts/moneyz/whatever it might give you that side quests won't. Other than that, I'll try to do all the side quests I can. While doing random stuff, like killing things in the wilderness (or cities).

I figured I'd do the test, even if I don't 100% understand what the results mean, maybe a question or two as well. I also felt like punching through my screen at "Our civil liberties are being excessively curbed in the name of counter-terrorism." And some other 'questions' as well But, I completed it: http://www.politicalcompass.org/printablegraph?ec=0.75&soc=-0.82 I guess this is also a good opportunity for me to read about this stuff :P

Wait what are you talking about? http://www.fanboyfeed.com/black-ops-rezurrection-pack-may-be-causing-xbox-live-profile-bans/ lol the name of the site. How are those bans for no reason? I don't get it... OT: But I don't really care about anything to do with xbox because I don't have one and not getting one

They're obviously not going to have the same carrying capacity for EVERYONE :dry: I'd go with Stamina. Or just race. Or both.

It's STILL not all about the cores :facepalm:

11/11/11 is a friday. Friday, friday, getting down on friday. Everybody's looking forward to Skyrim, Skyrim. durr For me, the date is perfect. My exam week ends on that EXACT SAME DAY. :dance:

This sentence "and it's very similar to Oblivion's system" destroyed my hope...is it going to be that sucky again ? :unsure: Not enough info yet .. All we know is that sun burns and drinking blood replenishes you... hopefully the perks are better Actually the sun might not even burn. He didn't say anything about that, did he? I might have missed it, but I doubt it. Hopefully it will just weaken you enough to be weaker than what you would be non-vampire. But when not in sun, you would obviously be stronger. And the more vampire you are, the weaker/stronger you get.

I upgraded, come at me bro CPU and RAM score went down from by 0.1 from my last test. But I had overclocked then http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/3810/abcdssd.png

They're good if you like to not lose all the screws you unscrew inside every little cavity in your case and hardware, like mobo. Unless you're using some weird screwdriver with an electromagnet, then you're safe. (assuming you're asking whether the magnetism will break your components or not)

Aaaand the original video that some very sad person has ripped just to get views: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5FRbZ1zZm4 And in the description there is a link to another poop like this one, and in that video's description another poop etc.etc...

I pretty much spam quicksave and I reload after about everything bad. Bad as in the psychic guards start chasing me. But now that the cities have different bounties it might not be as bad. And I assume they did some improvements to the guards overall as well

Skyrim will have 1 serial code. You can use it only once. You use it to register the game on your Steam account (which will be required) and as long as you're logged in on that account, you can install the game and play it. The computer you're on doesn't matter.

Yes, SAUCE!!! Haven't heard of anything like this. :dance: for rivers full of dead animals (and the occasional guard)

In the first video description: "To avoid the security minders I set up a long ways away and had to use the zoom at max to get these shots. Excuse the heads and passers-by." 3rd: "I found a closer location to covertly take shots of this great looking game. Even though I was in a different booth entirely, by the end of the clip a security guy saw me and made a beeline my way. I vacated the scene of the crime." I assume the people walking in front of the camera were unaware or didn't give a crap since they're not allowed to film anyways :P About how the fire looks, YESSSS!!! I'm definitely making a mage character... With lightning in one hand and fire in the other. Depending on how frost looks, I forgot...

Yeah, no reason to get something like the i5 2400 or 2500 over the 1100t... except that they're both better than the 1100T, especially in gaming which doesn't take much advantage (if at all) from 6 cores. Even when doing something that DOES take advantage of multiple cores (video/music editing etc.etc.) the 2500(k) usually beats the 1100T And since your friend already has the Nvidia GTX 560, it's even more recommendable to go with the Intel, if Nvidia GPU/AMD CPU combinations have problems. And the Intel CPUs are actually cheaper than the 1100T, at least for me, so it would be an obvious choice. I assume they're priced fairly similarly elsewhere too... Though I'd still recommend the 2500k over the 2400 since the 2400 can't be overclocked. But not everyone wants to do that.

I'd choose Charizard if you could teach it fly... A swarm of bees?

In some recently uploaded (2 days ago, I think?) DTOID video on Youtube they said you can burn the butterflies. That's 2 actual uses for butterflies :P

This reminded me of another question I had, did you do any tweaking to the 3rd person view? They said it's adjustable, not sure what they meant by that, exactly... And yeah, I'd like to know about the 3rd person view a little more as well :)

How was the character movement? How different was it from Oblivion, if at all? And did any enemies ever like run past you just to make a U-turn and attack after? Because I think I saw a wolf do that in the video from... QuakeCon was it? And how did they act in battle in general?

Yeah, everything in this thread can be found in the Skyrim Information thread ... Mostly because it's the same exact words. Nice copypasta

i5 2500k is the cheaper version of the 2600k (well, 2600 on your original post)

Space. I'm putting my Windows on the SSD, obviously. Don't want Steam taking up all the space. CoD Black ops, 8,4 GB. CoD MW2, 4 Portal 2, 10. Total War: Shogun 2, 18, for whatever weird reason. 5GB for TF2 and CS:S and Half Lifes. The main reason I would want Skyrim, and Skyrim only, on the SSD is loading times. Breaks immersion pretty effectively. Not such a problem with other Steam games like Team Fortress 2. And I assume this is the case for most people. Also, Kudos'd for the junction thing :P

Arm yourself with knowledge. I did this when I got a second hard drive: Move the steamapps directory to the new drive and put a junction to the new location in the Steam folder on the older drive. It'll all work flawlessly. I remember reading about this for... something, don't remember. Thanks for reminding me though ;D Also, to anyone else who might have the same "issue", here: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=664376 And for me as well :P Thank you, google
