Skyrim Thread

More than 2gb of ram finally! Although my game sits at 60fps constantly before the patch. They really do need to up the graphics a lil'... skyrim with frostbite 2 sounds good to me.

Cracked version ftw.i still have the first/second version and it's running without any problems.i'll download a patch when all the major problems have been sorted out.
 
Jeez this thread has slowed down quite a lot. Tons of people are saying that they they are giving Skyrim a break at the moment. Same here.

But still, I have been reading the Books of Skyrim on my iPhone in the last couple of days. These guys really put some effort into the background and lore of this game.
 
Started a new game couple of days ago. Using Thum'mic now and that difficulty mod to make things more challenging.
Also wanna get the mod to remove the compass. Super fun. :D

Been playing off and on since December. Trying to explore every single little thing of the game. I haven't even touched the main quest yet. Just been doing side missions all over the place.
 
I suggest doing the main quest until you finished the Jurgen Windcaller and Kynesgrove quests, but not starting on Diplomatic Immunity. You can then ask the Greybeards for locations to learn shouts. You can also use shouts in populated areas and get a letter from a mysterious friend that also gives the locations of shout word walls.
 
Yeah I think I'm done with Skyrim for now.

Need to have these borked quests fixed, because they're getting on my nerves.

So for me it will be back to Minecraft, see you in a few months!
 
Traded in my PS3 copy and got the PC version today. It sucks that I have to start a new game, but I've had it with the constant freezing on PS3. If Bethesda eventually manage to fix the PS3 version I will get another copy and continue with my character, until then it's PC version for me.
 
I just completed reading this ENTIRE thread... took me about 3 days on and off... and now I am more excited about this game than before. Made level 8 last night, will get a few hours in tonight :)
 
I seem to be havimg problems with the PC version as well. It was working fine at first, but since Sunday afternoon it keeps crashing my PC so that I have to reset it to be able to continue. The screen goes black (switches off) and then after a second or two the sound starts looping indefinitely until I reset. I have installed some mods, but I doubt that's the issue since I have been using them from the start and it only started happening after about 10 hours of play.

I have come across people with the same issue on the steam forums, but no solutions thus far. It wouldn't really bother me that much if it happened after a long session, but it happens after playing for like 5 minutes. At first I thought it was my GPU that overheats, but I played Witcher 2 for about 2 - 3 hours yesterday with no issues.

Anyone have an idea how I can fix it or even what the cause is?

Sorry no idea, never experienced that ever in my 160+ hours of play. Had some crash to desktop stuff, but nothing major.

Have you tried setting your sound to, I think 44Khz & 16-bit, in your Control Panel, I think I remember something like a sound setting causing crashes.

Some crashes also stop if you disable AA, V-sync, etc. Hope that helps or do what I did, put the game down and play it again, once they fix their borked game...

I did try changing the sound settings but to no avail. AA and all the other fancy settings are off anyway as I doubt my PC can handle it. Maybe I'm not supposed to play Skyrim :(

If it still does this when I get home tonight I'm buying Oblivion 5th Anniversary tomorrow and then I'll play that instead.

Thats too bad, Its on Special here, 50% off. Picked up the CE for half retail £69 instead of £140. :p

Im on the final leg of the main quest and will probably have it finished in a few days, depending on how much I play.
 
Ive checked Zaps, AWX and called Btgames, none of them seem to have stock in JHB. Im gonna go check CNA tomorrow. But they those type of stores all sell at R600 for newish games... Oh well :/

CNA Northgate had the PC version in stock a day or so ago.
 
I ended up buying Oblivion 5th Anniversary Edition today so I'm going to try Skyrim again soon (installing Oblivion now) and if it crashes on me even once I am switching over to Oblivion. I've pretty much had it with Skyrim's issues; first it keeps freezing my PS3 and now it keeps on crashing on PC. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the game but I am only willing to go through so much shit to play it. Oblivion is a bit old now, but there is a crapload of awesome mods for it and I really am in the mood for a Bethesda game.
