I had the same problems when I used the Vanilla TESV .exe. However, the Skyrim4GB alternate is still fairly stable and doesn't crash after this patch.

You lazy racist, getting other people to do your ethnic cleansing for you. :P Learn to be more accepting and tolerant and all that other bull.

It'll probably be a DLC available for purchase as a part of a DLC release pack.

Nevermind, Hag's Cure, Markarth.

Wouldn't it be ironic if you were able to give/receive a Sky-rimjob.

All of it goes into it, enchanting, alchemy, and perks. It's also about managing your magica output vs your input - you will almost always have to take a backward step from the battle and let an atronach take the beating for you while you recover, because using this method you will not be able to rely solely on destruction and restoration spells, and you definitely won't be able to always dive headlong into battle. Also use invisibility potions/spells to help you in your recovery period (I have found no other use for the school of illusion at all). I wouldn't say it's abysmal just yet, your strategy just has a hole somewhere. Find it and plug it - develop a 'rhythm' of battle that allows you to do damage and take time out to regenerate as you need to. And yes, I perked my flame magic to be more powerful so I'm still favoring the original flame spell more than anything else at the moment.

I'm coming up at 32 hours, quite proud of that. It's a shame too because I have work tomorrow so I won't be able to compete with the unemployed :(

You sure you're on the right forum? Because you'll notice in Skyrim, Men can have Beards now. I think you're still stuck in Oblivion mode, or you just think the same thing has carried over between games.

So I have two Hypothetical Scenarios. 1. If you went to Never land and found a group of people who became immortal whilst in a Childlike state. They've grown up mentally and socially, but not physically. They've gone through all of the hardships that comes with adult life and (depending on whether they've actually reached adolescence) had children of their own (It happens.) Is the line drawn between the act of killing an under 18/16/14 year old or is it simply an appearance thing? Or is it a case of being /As represented/ under 18/16/14? 2. Is it the ability to do the act that Bethesda is trying to stop the player doing, or is it the possible association with reward for doing so? (For example, kill a kid to prevent him from telling on you for killing a Hobo, that substantiates as a positive consequence of killing a child for the player and ding ding ding ding ding Bethesda gets blamed.) Perhaps it requires that Mob Mentality for the player to understand the 'Wrongness' of that action. I'm talking beyond the Fawks nooze and the bad press, but literally the moral repercussions of glorifying - vs - making available - vs - making available and condemning an action through the game mechanics. Can you have the game take a neutral stance on doing the unthinkable? Because if it's a neutral stance that will also get Bethesda a bad rep, that's *censored*, because in the real world, Children DO die, whether we morally support it or not. The simple truth is that it still happens. In an extreme case you can say that we are all indirectly responsible for the death of children by buying this game instead of giving it to poor, starving Ethiopians (Very, very extreme example, I'm not saying it's true, but it's food for thought especially for you, Sistergoldring.) If Bethesda Glorified it, which they couldn't, then it would be justified in getting a bad reputation. If Bethesda allowed it but gave strictly negative consequences to the act then it doesn't reinforce the players actions, and Bethesda can't be held accountable because they've acknowledged the wrongness of the act. Anyway. Just my two dollars (given inflation it's probably only worth 2 cents anyway in the current U.S market)

Granted, but the sky explodes into millions of tiny shards of glass onto the ground so Dovahkiin goes 'ooh eeeh ahh oohh Christ that hurts' whenever he walks anywhere. I wish for an Adoring fan riding a Mud crab wielding a singing battleaxe companion NPC.

Needs hotkeys, and then will be a little more PC-esque. We have all of this keyboard real estate and we have to duck and weave around it as though it was a console. But then whoever will design the hotkey system will have to somehow deal with the left right mouse click differentiation, especially when it comes to which weapon you want to poison or on which hand you want to equip an item. Perhaps you can hold the button that an item is hotkeyed to, and if it has a hand assignable value like a spell or a shield or single handed weapon, then let the left or right trigger dictate it respectively. If not, then automatically equip it. I think the item type attribute will be hardwired into the items itself, so perhaps our volunteer coder can draw from that item variable to create the if clause. Don't mind me, just thinking aloud.

Yes, It's unfortunate that DRM has come to this, especially when they overlook the logistics of how many people will be loading the patch at the same time. I will miss the days of when you installed something, it was complete.
