One of the things that bugs me most about Skyrim is that it is a land with few and far between consequences. As such decisions hold very little weight; cause often shows little effect other than the odd line from a guard "Is that fur...growing out of your ears?". I believe choosing, for example, to become part of a guild, should not only affect your relations with other factions and guilds, but also with Skyrim's varied inhabitants. One way I look at this is, if I were a prominent member of the Thieves guild (i.e. invested heavily in the quest line and related jobs), surely that would put me out of favour with the Companions, who boast honour and bravery etc etc. This could be represented in many ways; depending on your investment with the thieves guild you could be met with flat out refusal upon requesting entry to the Companions, or it would require heavy investment in speech skills to twist their arm. Other investments, like being a wearwolf, should also have long lasting affects. For example, any (bandit like) radom vampires could perhaps attack you on sight, based on their long hatred towards said houndish fiends. Perhaps I'm getting a bit carried away, but in my opinion, adding consequences to guild, factional or other important actions would vastly add to re-playablity, and the tailoring of your character to a certain role, assuming, of course, it is possible. Is there any support for this idea; obviously more of a premise than detailed guidelines, but nonetheless potent in my opinion?

Still need help! Bump!

Please read, I don't know what to do. Perhaps I'm being stupid, and the solution is simple, but I can't find it anywhere, which rings warning bells for me. I recently wiped my hardrive; after stopping a printer/connector from starting at boot, I blue screened. It was probably linked to some sort of essential hidden process. Any attempt at fixing the problem was futile, so I resorted to backing up all my games and bits and bobs, users etc. in safe mode. T'was a long and boring process. I wiped my hardrive, and proceded to install all the basics, and created a backup (something I wasn't sensible enough to do last time). I then proceded to restore the games...fun! Anyhow, after mind boggling sarcasm, I ended up trying to play Skyrim, and I noticed it had only set my settings to medium quality when previously it was always set to ultra. After scratching my head for a while, making my freinds beleive I had lice, I realised something could possibly be different! To msconfig I rode, and low and behold, the core counter was set to 1 not 6 I was told. So I set it to 6 and maximum memory to be used, and restarted when prompted. Of course it wasn't that simple. If theres one thing consoles are good for it's their simplicity. I understand enabling more cores increases startup time, but this was bloomin ridiculous. After ages of my life that I shall never recover were spent waiting for the PC to start up, it then decided to realize I had typed in my password a manageable time of five minutes after! Time to go to the pub. I left it logging in, and returned to find a seemingly normal desktop. Nothing reacted to the mouse or mouse click. Ctrl Alt delete followed, and to my anguilalalala came up with a black screen and then prompted me that something was up with my PC and that I should turn it off by the button. Pfft, tell me something I don't know. I guess I should count my blessings, at least safe mode still worked. I reset the values to before, 1 core, and also un-ticked maximum memory, and restarted. Which brings me to the present, now, talking to you, my fellow intrepid PC brothers and sisters. I would be surprised if you are still reading up to now, but if you are, here's a metaphorical pat on the back, and maybe a hug for good measure. If you have any information on the problem, or even a solution, please share. Also, if my ineptitude is the problem, please resolve to swearing at me in your head, or perhaps sticking my name on a dartboard, or whatever floats your boat.

It was merely an example. Surely though, if it's for my own use and I don't distribute it, it's not illegal? Anyway if it is, I won't, but do you know how to do it?

For example, if I used youtube converter to get the Napoleon Total War theme, and wanted to use it to replace the title music, how would I do it?

I wasn't saying that kajjits and elves HAVE to be Spanish or French...I was just posting suggestions. I chose those languages because they are the ones you can change skyrim language to through steam. It would be awesome if we could use different languages!

I'm thinking this would really add to the feeling of the vastly different cultures in the game. For example, Nords could speak German, Imperials could speak Italian, Kajjits could speak Spanish, elves could speak French. I know there isn't enough to go around for each race, but it would still be a greater variety. Anyone feel up to doing it?

Is there a way to change the language people speak, but keep English subtitles?

I got a new tv - 24" 1920 X 1080, but Skyrim won't give me the option to set my res any higher than 1680 X 1050. Is there a way to override it?

No, you don't understand me. I use all 6 of my cores, but the game only ever uses 2 no matter what.

Bump

At the moment Skyrim only utilises two out of my 6 cpu cores. Is there a way for someone to mod it to use more, as I'm sure it would give everyone a huge boost in performance.

I'm afraid I'm unable to do it myself. I posted it in the hope that someone else might be able to do it. Thanks anyway.

They may have more voice actors than ever before, but the same ones still seem to come up all the time. Most general store owners sound the same, and the amount of people who sound like Farkas is unbelievable. My request is that all none random characters get their own voice. I understand the weight of the task, the manpower required and the time and dedication needed, but this could be the best and most immersive mod for Skyrim. You wouldn't need to know everyone, you could find a way to get people to send voices in. It is possible. (note I cannot do this for reasons concerning my Internet)

Amen. I've got four cores of potentially game changing fps not being used! Damn thy Bethesda for making such a brilliant game with such bad performance.
