wish i had the know-how to install mods.
i tried in oblivion and all i got were giant exclamation points for people.
i only have an 8600gt graphics card though so my FPS would prolly tank.


Go to skyrimnexus.com and grab the Mod Manager. Once it's installed, check the Archive Invalidation option in the menu. Then you can one-click install mods from the website. You just have to enable them with the Manager before playing.

Yay, maybe I'll be able to play this game in three years time, when I can afford a computer to run it. sighs


Mashiki is right. PC gaming today is nothing like what it was in the 90s-00s. The graphics requirements for PC games today are limited by the maximum of what the consoles (Playstation 3, Xbox 360) can do. Those consoles are several generations behind what even a modest PC can do. In short, you probably already can run Skyrim.

And you should.

The mods are quite easy to install if you know how to unzip files, easier than Oblivion. However, nearly all the mods made so far are graphics upgrades, which will just make things worse for that card. My Geforce 460 768MB can't handle the larger mods.

Do you have a PC that was build in the last 4 years, and have at least an 8800GT? Congrats you can run it.

Too bad setting the game to 'ultra high' doesn't bring it even close to the real max settings


yea the graphics are largely 'meh' without a few nice mods like the FXAA Injector, 4k HD Textures, Better Water, Better Night Sky. With those however.. the graphics are astounding and of course the art direction is already so good that you are totally immersed into the game's setting of an old nordic land that is passed it's prime and slowly crumbling while the men and women of power desperately hold on to it as it begins to slip away as the next age of the country begins. The real question is who shall lead it? The game really oozes atmosphere.

Edit: Oh for those on the PC who would like to see these amazing graphics, all the really good graphics mods are listed here (I use all accept the top one myself). http://www.gamersnexus.net/news-pc/660-best-skyrim-graphics-mods

I dont get the hype around this game especially the graphics...

Do a timelapse in FSX with Real Environment or do one in Arma2 with max settings but Skyrim?

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Absolutely - it was a great game. Warren Robinette is a game deity. It's just that most of the cool graphics had to happen in your head.>> ^dystopianfuturetoday:

I know it looks like shit, but this was pretty amazing back in the day. Considering the progress made in 30 years, I can only imagine what games will look like in another 30 years. >> ^dag:
12 year-old me back in 1982 would have gone completely apeshit on seeing Skyrim. This was the state-of-the-art RPG at the time:

You can see the similarities to Skyrim though.

Actually, you are in a game right now. [Note - This message is a hint from the game system. To reach the next level, logout and login under the "Neo" account.]
