Wait what did i just watch?


You just watched a boatload of fucking awesome.

"id inevitably be disappointed because single player games are kind of retarded."

Yup, you are quite the connoisseur...

Naw im kinda over it... everyone was all hyped about it and i almost fell for it, so i decided to see how i would feel with it close at hand.
yea you can patch the torrent version to get it to work but i realized that if i got into the game, purchase or not, id inevitably be disappointed because single player games are kind of retarded. glad i remembered why i never played any of the other elder scrolls.
if it were worth it id buy it, dont be jealous that you did and it sucks.

i torrented it... everything went smooth but it glitched in the beginning so there was no horse/carts/guards, and you could never get past the first scene. i have a feeling paying the full price wasnt worth it then 'n now

I'm going to take a wild guess here and say the glitch was possibly caused because you torrented it. I've not heard anyone have this glitch other than you. Other than a few spinning dragons and the somewhat glitchy menu system its been bug free (I'm on PC).


It's a known issue that was resolved with a patch. Several people had this problem not just folks who pirated it from what I understand. I know a couple people where I work that had this issue with a legit copy and it happened on the xbox version as well as PC from what I read.

Cheers, mate, pretty much the same here. I've poured hundreds of hours, possibly even a thousand hours into the Elder Scrolls series, and I don't regret that (ummm... much), but currently other activities are taking up too much of my time. Activities such as still-too-little-sleep Maybe half a year from now, with all the fantastic mods that fans will have created... Maybe. High-five for mental resilience against this apparent gem of a game though!

Thanks for the quality. It is an incredible looking game... even though I've yet to play it... and probably never will - I'm not sure I want to lose that much of my free time

I haven't played a minute of Skyrim - not yet.

As I clicked on the Play button, I glanced at the 8:20 length, and thought, "No way in hell I'm going to watch all 8-minutes uninterrupted, not with my attention-span."

Boy, was I wrong. *quality

All those things you mentioned Jinx have been located by members of the community and can be fixed through the .ini files. Google a bit and you'll find it pretty easy (or look up the post about it at pcgamer.com) While I do agree that it feels like entirely to much of it was a port job, the game itself is good enough I hardly care. Now if you'll excuse me these dragons won't slay themselves...

Ya, I "fixed" everything apart from the sensitivity-framerate scaling.

And it still sucks having to google fixes and mess around in config and setting files just for basic options that SHOULD be included on the fucking menu. The fact the game is good only serves to frustrate me more.

As the the UI, well I got used to it quite quickly. Its a little clunky but I don't think its so awful. I don't doubt that it could be better though. The only think which really annoys me at this point with it is there doesn't seem to be a way to draw one handed weapons on your offhand using it. Spells and Shields default to left hand, and weapons default on the right, but if you want say, a dagger in your offhand you can't equip it using a hotkey. Its rather clumsy.
