So has any word on the patch been announced? This save file getting bigger on PS3 is making the game unplayable

Any one handed weapon can be used with a shield. Two handed weapons have a block too, but it's not as effective as the shield one. Dual wielders can't block. Mages can use ward spells that serve a similar function to shields.
Haha, loved this bit from the Cracked article:
No enemy in the game has been nearly as absurdly tough so far on Master as a Draugr Death Overlord I came across at level 17. Those guys hit harder than fuck and can take a lot of punishment. And they have shouts, one of which makes you drop your weapons (which probably sucks more for you melee guys).
I think a few of the Draugr have that ability though.
If anyone wants to go fight him I think I recall him being somewhere in the vicinity of Autumnwatch Tower, where you complete a miscellaneous dragon-killing quest and get a new shout (and don't confuse them with regular Draugr Overlords, these are different).

50+ hours in, lvl 30 and I havent even triggered the dragons yet =D
Still using the "delete all saves cept your master save every hour" method and framerate, while still dippy, is acceptable and doesnt take away from immersion for me. My save file is nearing 10mb.

Speaking of Draugr, I was in some dungeon (don't remember which now) and the NPC with my warns that walking into these reeds can wake up the undead. I brushed the advice off, ran straight through the room and 5 Draugr Death Lords spawned in a small corridor and destroyed me. Level scaling can be crazy sometimes. When I reloaded and walked carefully through, none of them spawned.
The 3 mods I desire the most.
Static merchants, with all the stuff they sell placed around there store, or in a safe hidden somewhere.
Rebalanced destruction magic, sparks is the coolest spell in the game, but its worthless at higher levels, same for frostbite and flames.
Non retarded vampires, no idea why they kept the oblivion styled vampires, should be stronger the more you feed, not the other way around. I know vampirism shouldn't be a straight up buff, there has to be a downside, but right now there isn't even an upside, all the powers you get are crap.
Also conjure horse.

I could also just set the game to Easy and be alright, but it ruins the fun for me.Realyn said:
I really dont mind it like this. I'll figure my way through it without having to resort to needing a companion or putting on armor. It can be frustrating, but I still enjoy the adrenaline pump of being chased by a bear or having a pretty much unbeatable dragon come at me. I'm not complaining at all, just relaying the experience. Its all part of the adventure and I'm in no hurry.
Another thing - I was walking around at night with the aurora borealis lighting up the sky. I was just looking up at it, marveling at the orange fresco painted in the sky when a dragon flies over a mountain top directly in front of the orange light and it was so gorgeous. It was just a completely black silhouette of a marvelous dragon flying in front of an already majectic sight. Frightening, yet truly awe-inspiring.
I'm sure I've said it about half a dozen times now but this is beyond a doubt the best game I've ever played.

I feel like it's too much of a hassle.
There are 4 stages of it, stage 1 you're pretty normal but don't regen health, mana or stamina outside during the day, and you get a nighteye power, a weak raise dead power, and 25 to sneak and illusion. 100 weakness to fire, 25 resistance to ice, and no one knows your a vampire.
Stage 2 and 3 you get more poweful, but become more weak in the sun, and people won't talk to you unless you talk to them first, also you get a calm spell.
Stage 4 you get a invisibility power, 100 resistance to ice, and everyone will kill you on sight.
Drinking blood reverts you to stage 1.

I really wish I could turn off the shadows in this game. They look like complete shit on the PS3 and I'm sure they do nothing to improve the performance of this game.
Well that´s fine.Seanspeed said:
I was just trying to say that the game isn´t really that hard, even on Master. Sadly I went exactly the Bow/DW/Smithing/Enchantment route for my first char and it gets really boring. Bears, Giants, Trolls .. no problem.
Still having alot of fun ofc. Next playthrough will be a solo Mage or Thief as well.

WHERE IS IT IN MARKATH? I've bought the fucking house but have no fucking idea where it is or what its called. This has been driving me insane.
I was one of the people that absolutely could not stand Oblivion.
I gave it a fair chance too, but it just never clicked with me.
Decided to rent Skyrim last night from a Redbox unit in my local grocery store (awesome service by the way) and WOW. What a different game this is! I played it for several hours straight, pretty late into the night. Placed my order on Amazon the next day.
Awesome game. Such a vast improvement over Oblivion.

I was minding my own business, just traversing through a mountain pass, when a shadow of a dragon passed over me. No roar, didn't actually see the dragon itself, just a flicker of a monstrous beast flying overhead.
That one instance terrified me more than any monster in any Dead Space/Resident Evil/horror game ever.

Probably been posted a billion times already, but whatever. More people with shitty computers need to see this! I'm running a GTS 250 and I'm playing on high with 4x AA thanks to this, lol.
Can anyone explain how this is possible? D:
edit: Oh, I went from 720 medium to all low and no AA to 1080 High/Medium with 4x AA.

What? It's particularly noticeable at the very beginning of the game. How did you get past that part?
