Galook Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I just bought a new laptop and I'm kinda burnt out on Skyrim and am looking for ways to get back to enjoying it. How do you enjoy Skyrim at this point in time? Also, are my laptop's specs enough for Skyrim in HD? I want to use the Skyrim HD mod coupled with every setting on Ultra if I can. I've got a Asus G75V laptop. The specs are: i7-3610QM, 16gb DDR3 1600 RAM, GTX660M 2gb graphics. Added a 128gb Crucial M4 SSD with the 1TB as a secondary drive. Games are installed on the HDD and I'm using Steam Mover to swap games to the SSD when I want to play them. I shouldn't have any problems playing with the HD mod and full settings should I?

gryph72 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) I just bought a new laptop and I'm kinda burnt out on Skyrim and am looking for ways to get back to enjoying it. How do you enjoy Skyrim at this point in time? I'm enjoying it now more than ever, primarily due to moving Skyrim over to a computer I built for multimedia work (Core i7 3930k, 32GB of RAM). Skyrim runs significantly more smoothly and with far greater stability on the new system. The better specs enables me to use more technically demanding mods that used to crash frequently on my old dual core system. I had almost 400 hours into Skyrim before I took a voluntary break a few months back. I didn't want to get to the point where I started to feel really bored with Skyrim. Granted, the new system has breathed life back into Skyrim for me but knowing when to step back was important too. Since you're experiencing some burn-out, consider playing something else for a while before coming back to Skyrim.

Relativelybest Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Whenever I'm not trying to move the plot along with my main PC, I'm mostly enoying myself by making alternative characters with different goals and personalities. I have one mage girl who went straight to the Winterhold university before doing anything else, and my latest character is obsessed with investigating the Falmer. (I wanted to see how quickly I could get a new character into Blackreach.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brasher Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Building mods for Skyrim is more interesting than playing Skyrim. Sometimes I am in the middle of a play-test and I start thinking, "This play-test is taking forever! I wish I could hurry up and accomplish my mission objectives and get back to modding." I do not know how I got lost like this. It is a video game. I am supposed to enjoy playing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enatiomorph Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) No spell creation=I'll never truly enjoy Skyrim on the level I did the previous games. Not even close actually. Edited July 16, 2012 by Enatiomorph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraeten Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) Learning to use the Creation Kit has helped breath new life into the game for me. Now whenever I wander around Skyrim, I'm always keeping a keen eye open for interesting locales where I can build. I just wish scripting wasn't so darn incomprehensible. >.< Edited July 16, 2012 by Kraeten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhanqwa Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) I mostly stick to this behavior: (picture by serp667)http://static.skyrim.nexusmods.com/images/1691093-1328874929.jpgand whenever it's time to roll up a new character I make sure his/her motivations and playstyle are vastly different from the previous one... after which I go back to searching for mods that support this new playstyle ;).

Ragicka Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I got a little burned out after a while but then I discovered ENB, so I'm a little obsessed with that right now. And animations and face creation mods. Taking a lot of action pics now too. @Bhanqwalol Exactly right. :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
