It's a well known issue in both games. It's the left hand for males and the right hand for females, as I recall. It's particularly bad with the armoured robes Obsidian introduced in TSL. The generally accepted cause - IIRC - is with the hand helper...  [Read More]

80+m seems a tad excessive. That's more that 3/4 the size of a football field (just under for an NFL field). That last picture makes it look like HK could stand on the cockpit's window sill and not hit his head - that can't be right....  [Read More]

As someone who started and has been involved with what essentially amounts to a TC for DA since Xmas 2009, my advice concerning a TC mod is only start one if you can commit to spending the next few years of your life working on it. 95% of TCs or...  [Read More]

Select the mirrored half of the face and flip the UV polys for it. Then select everything and scale it all down/reposition to fit. It has been discussed before. Check out this thread for more info - http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=198807...  [Read More]

There are always potions of waterbreathing (Chicken Egg/Histcarp/Nordic Barnacle) or the spell. Do you need to do that much swimming? I found it less useful that I had hoped, as most situations where you might think it would be useful for stealth the...  [Read More]

Lol that sounds pretty lame. Surely there are more efficient ways to cheat/exploit? I'm assuming you must be playing the 360/PS3 version, otherwise you'd just use the console to add skill points. I bought the (2) mage light spells.. the hover one an...  [Read More]

I don't believe there is any light enchantment. Looks like it's another victim of streamlining. A more grievous issue with enchantment to my mind though is the lack of stacking. Speaking of rings, it annoys me that you can only wear one. You should...  [Read More]

So after 34 hours, my conclusion concerning the engine is that if this is not Gamebryo, then Gamebryo was unfairly criticised for the issues in Fallout 3/NV and Oblivion. Pretty much all the same issues are still present, so presumably whatever propr...  [Read More]

Turning off vsync gives me about 60-90fps outside and about 80-120fps inside. There's the odd bit of tearing though. EDIT: Now that the Nexus site seems to be working again, I thought I'd bring this mod to the attention of stoffe (and other arachnop...  [Read More]

The game is a shining example of everything that is wrong with the industry's handling of console games ported to PC. I'm surprised they didn't just leave out keyboard/mouse support altogether and force you to use a control pad. They might as well ha...  [Read More]

I've always though Avellone was overrated personally. I like some of his stuff sure, but I've never understood the fanboyism he seems to inspire. The thing that annoys me most about him is all the interviews he gives where he prattles on about all th...  [Read More]

Heather has 3 appearances. The default one you first see her in, a goth chick outfit (blech) and the skimpy outfit. As far as bugs go, you can put that down to two things. The first is the fact they were using an early version of Source, so I imagin...  [Read More]
