Personally, anything in 3D gives me a helluva headache and stuffs up my eyes. But I don't think skyrim has proper support for 3D.

Was the installation difficult or did it install without a hitch?? I'm seriously considering switching over to Mac as I'm tired of MS and their crappy OS.

Or fall through a bucket and die... Or sprinting to the counter in the Sleeping Giant Inn and having a pot hit you in the head and kill you(this happened to my dad who was a vampire at the time, so no health regen, and he had a tiny amount of health left, so sprinting to Orgnar to get some food and the pot flies into the back of his head... It was hilarious), guards attacking you for no reason... These are all reasons why I don't play "hardcore" as Skyrim has to many dangerous non-realistic death traps.

Great work! Counting the hypothetical days before upload!

'Vampire milk' Now that was funny.

Even though I'm highly against Piracy, doesn't admitting on a forum that states it'll ban any one who is a pirate make you stupid?? Even if you pirate don't go posting that you do. Had to reword that so I don't get banned. oops

And that's the biggest calling card for a mod. The fact that I can download virtually and mod and it will be compatible or with a few edits in TESVEdit it will be. No 'run this patcher every time you add a new mod' as it gets extremely grating, especially when you're making a mod and want it to be compatible but are still working out the kinks.

What do you mean by "cracked"?

So to please the masses just call them Muriefs.

I personally don't use big overhauls such as PerMa or SkyRe etc. I just use ACE as it's a nice small and balanced IMO.

Or SkyRe. It depends on what kind of overhaul you're going for. ACE is close to vanilla, where SkyRe is not. And I use all of them barring SkyRe.

I've also found my "sweet spot", papyrus logs are about 500-700K and I get so few CTDs they're virtually nonexistent. Also, my loadorder is hand-made (no LOOT or BOSS), and I've got about 7 merged patches for various mods.

280 mods, 195 esp/esm files. A lot are merged or combined.

Had this problem also. From then on I always complete the Companions quest as early as possible or ignore them completely. Proving Honor and Kodlak's(Kodlac's) funeral are always a problem for me, even with nothing but the unofficial patches.

I've also had this problem. Generally just closing Skyrim and then reopening it works. As for the horse inventory, occasionally it takes forever and a day to open, same with quick dismount and talk/loot. The MCM menu does get skrewy every now and then. What MCM mods are you using? And how script heavy is your loadorder?

I'll second this. We can only hope Bethesda actually reads and takes fan suggestions into account. We can only hope...

A proper PC game?!? When that happens I'll sell my soul for a copy. But who are we kidding, it'll never happen. So the best we can hope for is a passable PC port. Other than that, generally the OP's ideas.

And I side of fries with a sprinkling of WTF. I suggest he/she/it rewords their post as I can interpret it in at least 4 different ways.

I'll second this. Just remember to load is before follower overhaul mods.

Why is it that many would rather have better graphics than gameplay? Is it once again a case of the "Ooh, something shiny!" mentality. EDIT: The above comment was no intended to provoke anger or incite rage in fellow forum members. Just thought I'd put this in as a disclaimer for all the HATE and RAGE posts I'll get. Yesterday I reinstalled Skyrim, and began a vanilla playthrough, no mods except the unofficial patches. I got bored and uninterested after an hour and began installing mods again. I never had this problem with Morrowind or Oblivion - or now fallout 3 and New Vegas.

I was in depression once... But then I sat up from my beanbag. But on another note: since we PC gamers sink hundreds of hours in to games and game-related event, maybe we're all just depressed with life in general? I've been told on numerous occasions that I'm mad or crazy to spend so much time gaming or reading(once finished, from cover to cover, a six-hundred+ page book in 2 hours! I'm a fast reader).

I'll admit Skyrim and a few other games are nice to take a break from real life, but my ultimate escape is books. There's nothing like loosing yourself in a good book (also to escape reality).

@postal001 - Freedom of speech. And I know its subjective. @wyvernix - The fact that Obsidian developed a great game in it's self is amazing. @Shadeybladey - yeah, I agree about everything. Unfortunately I was also absent for gaming for about 5 years, so I'm 5 years behind on the complaining. Also FO:NV was released on console as well.

The point is F:NV is a older game with better gameplay and immersion. I know there are mods, I use a lot of them, but from a logical point of view: F:NV is set in the age of firearms - a 'civilised' era. Whereas Skyrim is set in an era of intense violence but there's no actual violence. Is this just Bethesda playing a 'modern' card? To clarify - games have gotten a lot easier and shorter and shiny. Less about actual gameplay and more about visuals, giving you the feeling that devs are afraid that we'll take one look and say, "Crappy visuals? No thanks." Granted, NV doesn't have an epic storyline but its highly enjoyable and quite a challenge. The fact that Skyrim's Universe calls for extreme violence and there is just no actual visceral combat is disappointing.

Firstly Skyrim is a great game, one of my favourites. But compared to older Bethesda games it seems to be lacking. I just got Fallout New Vegas Ultimate Edition and I'm addicted, NV is and excellent game but, to me, it show some major flaws in Skyrim's gameplay: NV comes with a Hardcore - or 'realism' - mode. You have to drink, eat and sleep or you die. Why doesn't Skyrim, a frozen and harsh province, have these simple mechanics to add difficulty and immersion? I know there are mods out there that do just that but, come on, an older game showing more immersion and difficulty. Dismemberment and Gore - In a game where you walk around with a sharp-edged weapon I want to see body-parts flying. Locational Damage - NV has five; head, torso, L and R arms and legs. Skyrim has none, or if it does I've never seen or noticed a difference. Thrown weapons - one of the biggest disappointments to me in Skyrim was the utter lack of projectile weapons. The Nords, judging by lore are viking-like, would have been using throwing axes and or spears. Imperials - Romans - would also have been using spears. NV has knives and spears. And the best selling point of NV: NO AUTO-AIM or AIM ASSIST! Where I point and shoot is where the bullet goes. Same for thrown weapons. So to sum up: the base mechanics of Fallout NV would have made a great addition to Skyrim. * * * The wasteland sun beats down on my already scorched back. The heat causing the pools of newly-spilt blood to evaporate, filling the air with the sickly-sweet stench if death. The effects of the Buffout still lingering in my system, already calling to me for more. Slight movement behind me, I spin and draw my .357 in one motion. A half-dead Ganger standing up among some half-rusted drums. "Ya had enough!" He yells as he fires off a shotgun shell in my direction, shot ricocheting of a pile of tyres to my left, making high whistling sounds. Saying nothing I grab a stick of dynamite, light it, and casually toss the stick at him. Turning around I start to walk away. The last of the fuse burns as the stick skids between his legs. There is a brief and high-pitch scream followed by the roar of explosive fire. Quickly I pull down my goggles and pull up my scarf. Holding my arms out as dismembered body-parts and pieces of rusted drum rain down on me, I sing, "And I think to myself, 'What a wonderful world!'" * * * And now if we had the above in Skyrim: The icy wind off the Sea of Ghosts tugged at Silver's cloak and hair, reminding her that she had better make camp soon. Reaching to the quiver on her back, she searched with her fingers to find an arrow. Frozen fingers found the last two - Dwarven broad-heads - drawing both out, she places one on the snow beside her and nocking the other takes aim. Someone at the entrance of a nordic tomb, their breath creating billowing steam clouds, receives the first arrow - the broad-head catching him in the throat, tearing through his neck-joint and severing his head. His companion jumps up from where she lay asleep, "Who's there?" she challenges, searching the surrounding area. The answer comes in the form of an arrow piercing her right thigh, effectively crippling her. "Gods!" She cries as she stumbles to the snow. Struggling, she stands up and begins to hobble back to the tomb. Silver dashes from her nearby hide, drawing her longsword and a small dagger. With a flick of her left hand the small dagger flies through the air... and finds its purchase in the outlaw's back. With a cry of pain the outlaw turns, only to meet the sharp edge of a sword slashing across her belly, luckily only scraping the skin. Silver raises her sword with both hands above her head, her intent; to cleave the outlaw in half. As Silver swings at the outlaw she staggers back, tripping over the still-warm corpse of the first bandit, but Silver's sword still found her. Slicing through flesh and bone alike the blade cut through the outlaw's arm splitting it at the elbow. Going in to shock, the outlaw starts to shake uncontrollably. Silver leans in close her, pulling back her hood, smiling at the outlaw. The last sight the outlaw saw was the bone-white fangs and other-worldly red eyes before what little of her life-blood remained was drained from her slowly freezing body. * * * Just for thought
