Ohhhhhhh, okay. I think that is what it was called, yeah. Not a very pleasant looking thing for what it is.

What the fuck? Pressing B - going into the fucking menu causes this?
AND NOBODY IN QA picked up on this?!?!
I also heard the texture glitch happens with the PS3 version.
Dark Souls, Uncharted 3 (aiming problems) and now this - it's like every fucking game needs one or two patches to be playable "as advertised"
Loving the game but I'm starting to notice these texture problems more and more now.

Is there an advantage of wearing lighter armor outside of running faster?

She was a good sort, but Skyrim is a rough place. RIP
That doesn't look like an afermath of an epic battle, it looks like she and the mammoth just finished having sex and are now basking in the afternoon sun. All that's missing is both of them smoking a cigarette.

You generally make less noise and dodge more effectively. Light armor also uses up less stamina, along with of course weighing less. There are useful perks in both the light and heavy armor trees that make them significantly better. I'm mostly going Mage gear though.

Where do I go to join the thieves guild?
I'm so glad Bethesda beefed up archery to the point where it's a viable primary skill. I just cleared out a cave of bandits, and was able to sneak up and one-shot all but the last boss dude. Sneaking around, watching their movement patterns, then lining up and nailing the shot from stealth and seeing them crumple in a ball of flames feels soooo good. Second hardest difficulty, too.
So far I'm really enjoying this game. I did not like and could not get into Oblivion. Maybe its the world or it just looks better, I'm not really sure. I hope we get fixes for the known bugs like the arrows stuck in your character not disappearing and the texture issues soon.

I keep hearing that it doesn't matter either way. If it happens in both instances - I might as well enjoy faster load times. But if not - then, I'll uninstall it. How the load times that worse uninstalled?
Just starting the game out. Made level one and put it into speech a pube away from level 2.
What should I be doing?
It never asked me for my class or sign.
I have a wood elf who I'm currently using with healing in one hand and a sword in the other. I also like to sneak around and snipe fools with my bow before they can get in close.
I don't wanna min/max per se, but I remember that the last two times I tried a fucking Elder Scrolls game I ended up feeling like I built my character wrong and that I needed to start over if I ever hoped to kill a mud crab.
Is there a general strategy to leveling and building my character?
As for the game. This is the first of the 3 I've played that I felt "drawn into" and I have some small interest in the main quest. (I plan on just rolling through the main one and seeing what catches my eye along the way)

Oh man, the Dark Brotherhood recruitment "task" was awesome. Sign me up!

Essentially if you know what you want to do with your character you can't go wrong. Skill leveling is very satisfying, and being a 1H magic/sword user with lesser skill in archery is totally viable. There are no classes, and the signs work a totally different way than in Oblivion (but are fucking awesome, fear not).Staccat0 said:
LuchaShaq said:I usually just eat one and make random combos but for expensive stuff like frost salts it's a little frustrating to literally trash them in a bad combo
Yeah you gotta be careful about some of that. For the rarer ingredients I try to wait until I have a recipe of some sort. I suppose you could just quick save/quick load your way through it but that seems a little cheap for something that's meant to be about experimentation.

Yeah that's one of the best parts. Right now my follower is using an Ancient Nord Greatsword of Cold that I got from that first dragon at the watchtower near Whiterun.
Dunno if that's a 100% drop or not.Just got the
. Man, did they nerf one of the most fun items in Oblivion into nothingness or what?
Regret choosing to get it instead of the other path.
One thing I'm noticing about this game compared to Oblivion is that a lot of the items are less fun. Where's the whimsy? Where's the staff that duplicates people into an evil clone?
Blah.
So I'm a level 18 mage. Finished

Neat, killed my second dragon, though I guess I didn't really, I came out of a dungeon and randomly a dragon and a giant were getting into things, so I let the giant tank him and shot him in the ass with lightning.
Never got close enough to the giant for him to aggro, so we were cool.

Ah, it wouldn't be an RPG if there wasn't an encounter that I was clearly underleveled for that I just kept trying over and over again for two hours to beat anyway.

...yeah, but the game doesn't really require that kind of play - it's not Dark Souls in terms of challenge =p

The character creation is a bit different this time. You don't assign a class or get a star sign. You basically create your character as you progress in the game, depending on what you do, what you wear, or how you choose to engage in combat.Staccat0 said:
