The system seems a bit odd at first, but just remember the saying "need before greed". If everyone chooses Greed then whoever rolls highest gets it. Choosing Need just tries to swipe it straight away. Note for items that you don't need, you...  [Read More]

The Assassin and Sorcerer offer completely different play style choices (as do the Shadow/Sage Consular mirror classes). The Assassin is primarily designed for melee DPS, but can tank if spec'd properly (although how well in high level Flashpoint/Ope...  [Read More]

Seems like the best (i.e. slotted) PvE weapons and chest armour will come from Flashpoints. Best to use commendations to buy extraneous gear like boots/gloves/accessories....  [Read More]

Commendations are a form of currency. The best gear can typically only be bought with commendations. There should be a commendation vendor on each planet. Originally you could trade in commendations from one planet into an equivalent of another plane...  [Read More]

Ah, I see. Kind of lame, but I guess I'll have to switch that sucker back on. EDIT: Patch is out now for PS3 and tomorrow for 360 and PC. Patch notes - UPDATE 1.2 NOTES (all platforms unless specified) Improved occasional performance issues result...  [Read More]

The console certification process take forever. It was due this weekend originally, but it could be that it got held up by either MS or Sony (or both). Meanwhile, the master race gets screwed over once again....  [Read More]

I'm pretty sure that's mentioned in the article. You don't pull back anywhere near far enough to see the whole map (or even any significant portion of it outside Skyrim itself), not to mention that all the borders are covered in fog anyway....  [Read More]

Yeah I posted that several days ago, but I think everybody was too busy playing to notice. It's odd whatever the future plan for the game is. If it was DLC, why not just add it later? Seems more likely it was cut content, but I guess we'll find out e...  [Read More]

The main quest will give you the means to pass through. As far as play after the main quest goes, I would be very surprised if that wasn't the case. It's one of the main features of a TES game....  [Read More]

Sounds like it might be a while, certainly for PC at least. I'd be thinking maybe Feb/Mar next year. EDIT: Something to look forward to, either for future DLC or mods - http://ppsh-41.tumblr.com/post/13145143504/entire-tamriel-landmass-built-into-sk...  [Read More]

Over 100 hours of game time, lost.That's a tad melodramatic. There's a patch coming after this weekend. If that's a known bug then it's likely to be fixed (especially given the popularity of the DB)....  [Read More]

Play long enough and some courier should hand you a flyer advertising a museum in Dawnstar eventually, which starts the quest (Pieces of the Past). Apparently you have to collect a Daedric artefact (i.e. a Daedric weapon quest reward) and be level 20...  [Read More]

The only actual mod I'm using atm is the better night sky one, not that I've seen much of it yet with all the clouds around. I also used the Large Address Aware EXE patch, so it can address more RAM. Haven't noticed any framerate improvements, but I...  [Read More]
