Video & PC Game Discussion

Protip: if you have a couple thousand gold, but tons of leather and refined iron and make a ton of iron daggers to level up your smithing skill relatively fast. Plus you can sell them back. I just got the ability to make glass armor, and probably by the time I'm finished making it all I can make ebony armor. So sexy.

that's why PC is better, people mod Besthda games like mad to get rid of the inherent sh*ttiness

lolololol yeah yeah cliche PC is best comment.


It's a massive open ended game, there will be issues. If you have major ones that sucks, but the game is fine. I've not had a single real issue on PS3 and no one I know/talked to has at all. Honestly, my brother seems to have more problems with it on PC....crashes not all the time, but more often then seems right and has seen crazier glitches/bugs than I.
Had to reload a mission because this one necessary guy wouldn't go to the right place, just kept walking this loop between 2 random places.


Admittedly, PC does have mods so if you wanna cheat or do cool things there is always that option. Only a few I knew personally did those however, most just got the "women can be stripped fully naked" mod though!

IGN is running a poll for PS3 Skyrim players, will be interesting to see how this turns out. I suspect equal amounts of fanboy denial and exaguration from the IGN community to produce an incredibly uneven poll, but at least the bigger names in gaming journalism are hearing/reporting.  

Just also tried to launch Skyrim 2 or 3 times and got stuck at 3% for Loading Trophies... a reboot fixed it but it's another bug I've never had from any other games which really shouldn't be in a title which is on shelves already.

Edited because I remembered over-exagurated wasn't a word :(((((

Actually, I was taking hides and turning them into leather helmets. Profitable and efficient. The problem, of course, is that the number of hides you can purchase is quite limited.

Go to the inn in Falkreath. There's a guy in a black robe who will suggest a drinking game. This is how awesome nights begin. Not sure about the herbs.

It's more Elder Scrolls. If you like TES4, you'll certainly like TES5. It's more polished, sure, but I wish they had done more to improve the core game instead of just layering the paint. I spent like 300 hours in Cyrodil, and while there's lots to do in Skyrim, I feel that I'd be a lot more enthusiastic if something more than the scenery had changed.

I think it is a lot like Oblivion, just better in every way. I don't really get the fuss...

Thought it is obvious PC Elder Scrolls can be made much better than when they ship, 360 Skyrim is insanely more enjoyable and less obviously console-inferior than Oblivion and Morrowind.

My argument is invalid because the worst console around has fewer bugs?  OK.

I was mainly referring to the hideousness of besthesda games anyway
