I think there's more than enough selective memory to go around here :xp: Skyrim absolutely has life outside the player. In fact, I can tell you exactly where the spawn points are. Walk around this corner and you might see a hunter tracking game, Vig...  [Read More]

It's better than Oblivion in every way. It's still in Morrowind's shadow. If you played FO:NV at all, expect to spend a little time wondering why a newer game from the same publisher (not developer) doesn't have any options....  [Read More]

Does a level increase do anything for you other than give you an extra perk and an increase in health/magicka/stamina? Since there are no attributes now, I was wondering if level-ups contribute to a general increase in attack/defence. Defense, yes, s...  [Read More]

Does anyone know if there is a limit on how many perks you get? The numbers I've seen are 50 and 70. I'm only at level 29, and I'm worried I might have wasted some perks.The rate at which your skills advance slows at level 50 and you stop getting per...  [Read More]

Steam updated my game as soon as I switched my PC on last night. I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best, and for the most part, came out of 1.2 unscathed. Poison immunity is borked, but all the dragons I encountered flew forward rather than back...  [Read More]

Based on this (http://forums.bethsoft.com/index.php?/topic/1270631-crashes-during-gameplay/page__view__findpost__p__19556930) I'm wondering if the random crashing is Steam and all the other stuff is the patch. :(...  [Read More]

Just read on the beth forum that the patch turns v-sync off, so those of us that resolved issues by turning it on again might have to do that once more. Will confirm when I get home tonight....  [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]

After a couple of false starts, I finally finished the main quest this weekend. A couple of spoiler-free thoughts: 1) I have to give Bethesda kudos for figuring out a way to keep the game going, even when you've "finished". Morrowind just...  [Read More]
