I don't know why the PS3 has so many issues with Skyrim. I've had absolutely none on the PC.

Thankfully, this is the first major problem that I've had with it. I didn't experience the lag issue that others had.
Reinstalling game data now. My character was left standing on top of a big waterfall. Will swan dive off it and update with results.
EDIT: 'Tis fixed. Underwater looks all pretty now.

The only issue I had with the PC version so far was the hot pink logs in some of the fire-pits. Also the crappy Follower AI pathing.

Is anyone else reminded of Jason Statham every time Devlin Mallory starts talking?
Not related to my question, but still funny.

DLC officially announced. "Dawnguard, coming this summer to Xbox 360."
I forgot that they were releasing on the 360 first.
It's a ridiculously stupid plan. By the time that month is up, all the hype will have died.

I'm sure they'll be real choked up as they cash that fat Microsoft check.
But yeah, timed exclusives are obnoxious. What's more insulting, to me, is that they're purported to be for the players' benefit. Publishers always try to couch it in terms of a player base "getting the game early". As if Zenimax is doing Xbox users a favor by having Bethesda work extra hard to get the Xbox version out ahead of time. A lot of people are gullible enough to believe that.
In reality, it's just delayed for everyone else.

Meh. I'll be waiting until it's 70% off on Steam anyway.

My brother completely lost days of his life in Skyrim too! Open world gaming is definitely the future for this kind of immersive gameplay. In the end it will probably be like the virtual reality game that appears in the TV show Red Dwarf: Better Than Life (video clip), where you forget what's real and what isn't.
I'm looking forward to the launch of Core Blaze in 2013 which also promises to be a flexible open world game. They recently put up some new screenshots on their Facebook page that show some pretty awesome lighting effects (thanks to the Unreal 3 Engine it's built on).

New trailer up for Dawnguard.
Thoughts? Personally I find it kind of underwhelming. The vampirism stuff isn't for me, so I can pencil myself out for roughly half of the content, by the looks of it. And most of the trailer was showcasing the "vampire lord" character (it was first demoed back during that "developer jam" video a ways back), so there wasn't a whole heck of a lot else for me to get psyched for.
Of course, I'm sure there's a lot more to see. It's just that this particular trailer didn't do it for me.
Also, c'mon, just add spears already. You can't show that you made them, and then just not include them. That's just cruel.

Yeah, they're probably the thing I'm most excited for (and by excited, I mean "Well, that's kinda neat"). I wonder if they'll get their own skill tree, or if they'll just share the marksmanship one.

I'm guessing that you get to pick which side you ally with, which means that vampire or not you'd only be seeing one side of things. I haven't typically been interested in vampirism or lycanthropy, but this expac does make it much more interesting in general.
But by the time it releases on the PS3, I almost certainly won't care anymore. Stupid console favoritism. There's still so much I haven't seen in the core game that it barely even matters, to tell the truth.

Aye, that's what I meant. As in, I won't be rolling another character to play through things from the vampire side, so that content is null and void for me either way.

Is there a demo or something of this game? I know it's excellent etc - but oblivion gave me headaches/motion sickness (no idea why) so I've hesitated picking up skyrim, cause I am worried it will do the same thing.

No demo that I know of. I'm sure there's a bajillion Youtube videos of the game in play so you can set it full screen and judge for yourself.

I think I can kinda understand why--the first person open world nature is a little intense. If that's the issue, then Skyrim might, yeah.

Yeah, I don't know if that would work, unfortunately, videos of oblivion don't do the same thing as playing it (partially cause it usually doesn't show up for about 30 mins or so of playing) - I think there is just something about the way they do motion that makes me feel ill, which is too bad. I LOVED oblivion so much I'd try to play anyway but it just got too icky.

You can play in third person if you prefer, that should help with the motion issues.
thanks for the suggestions, guys, appreciate it :)

So, I started playing again, from the start. I can't help but fall into familiar patterns, though. I've always liked sword and board, and while I do try to force myself to play differently, I do always end up playing the same way. 
Anyway, I haven't looked into mods for Skyrim, but I'm curious if any of you know of a mod to increase the power of conjured weapons, at least to be in line with what you can get through normal weapons. I really like the idea of a magic-based melee, but conjured weapons aren't very strong once you get mid-game, compared to what you can do through smithing and enchanting.
I'll probably still end up maxing sneak/archery/one-handed weapons again.

So, Dragonborn just came out for the PC. I was a little miffed at the price, but the amount of content, Morrowind!, seems to be worth it so far.
Been awhile since I played, so I think I spent more time surfing for new mods than I did downloading & installing the expansion, heh.

Necro Warning: This post occurred more than thirty days after the prior, and may be a necropost.
I am always tempted to buy new dlc (have it all so far) but I don't know why since I never get around to playing almost ever.

I'm building a new rig this week. I might have to pick up the X pack just to test how much I can push it.

I bought the vampire pack on release and I felt it wasn't worth the money. Since they owe me I'm going to wait for it to go on sale.

I just started playing this recently, on pc.
Level 13 so far, dark elf. Not sure what kind of "class/profession" I am, as I've probably really messed up any training so far.
Any suggestions for a total noob?

If I recall Dark Elves have the magic regeneration racial ability, so you may want to start up the Illusionist or Conjurer skill trees. This will allow you to keep your weapon skills up while making better use of your MP.

-shrug- I always went Nord for the rp aspect + SnB, Wood elf for the sneaky character, and Brenton for my caster just long enough to realize how poorly casters scale in Skyrim.

God DAMN! This game is an evil demon, and it's taken possession of my heart and soul.
Haven't touched or thought about the game for a million hours (okay, more like minutes), but then the other night, as I was ready to go to bed, I suddenly had an urge to play Skyrim again. What the hell, man?! Time to sink another week of lifetime into this thing.

Please "talk up" if your comprehension white-shifts. I will use simple-happy language-words to help you understand.
I've shelved Skyrim until I have a PC that can handle it. I just feel like there's no good reason to keep dumping hours into it without the ability to mod, since I'll probably just buy the PC version some day.
Right now my PS3 is a glorified Netflix box. Not because there aren't good games for it, but just because gaming from my laptop is so much easier/cheaper. I can take it with me anywhere, I don't need to keep track of any discs (and have cloud storage so that's not an issue), games are cheap are comparatively cheap when not on sale, and super cheap when they are...
Tbh, I don't play games enough anymore to warrant any machines whose sole purpose is playing games.

Lol, I still play them. My constantly expanding Steam library is proof of that... But I'm also trying to diversify my free time and spend more time with friends, since most of us are still living at home while we save money post-graduation.

Is that the one they introduce the school girl martial artist that has a similar skillset as the main protagonists?
