Thanks for that. Does the command "stick" between saves/loads? Unlike the FOV command which doesn't (for me).

Yeah it has stuck for me, the FOV didn't though so i had to put it in the skyrim.ini file.

So far in my game i have encountered 2 dragons just laying there dead with a giant walking away from them! Was just on my way to Whiterun and found a dragon laying on the path(not bones) and looked around and there was a Giant just calmly strolling along

I had no idea there was even a fight, must have just missed it.

er because it might spoil it for someone?

Well that was an unexpected little quest!

I just had a run in with the Daedric god Shaegorath inside the mind of a demented dead king! Quite a funny little quest to do

Ah, yes, that was lost on me.

Well, I've come across my first giant, in fact, my first real enemy of any sort. Just started the game really, level 2. How the hell do I kill the giant. :eek:

I managed to hit him with 4 arrows so far, but can't get away from him quick enough and keep dying. Sometimes there's two giants together, lol. Sure raises the heartrate

I've got no chance.

I just stumbled upon lucky lorenz. I lol'd

Pighardia · 16 Nov 2011 at 23:15

^^ Why would you want to kill the Giants?

They are handy to have around

Tediore · 16 Nov 2011 at 23:16

More screenshots that amused/amazed me

Random dragon encounters? How about three within a minute? :eek:

This one got owned by a couple of giants about 20 seconds later

Anduin.

The calm before the storm.

The storm.

'Not so Lucky' Lorenz. I found him like this

An old woman in Whiterun hired some thugs to kill me after I looted her house. I gave them the slip, but what do hired thugs do after hours? Blacksmithing, apparently...

Absolutely adore the random nature of this game. I'm trying to remember where I found Lorenz. He had a treasure map on him. I think it was in the north west somewhere.

It only started as a simple drinking contest....

Epic!

Anyone playing this in 3d? what kind of performance are you getting?

Seems to be ok for me using a Gtx 470, getting maybe 40 fps average but a friend of mine says he's getting bad performance using a Gtx 570.

Running in 3D here, using High settings, 2xAA, then with most of the sliders for distances set at max. Getting pretty good performance (30-60) though some areas can cause issues. It's really quite amazing in 3D.

51 hours played here now. Only been to 3 cities, mostly doing side quests. Soo much to do, so awesome. Level 31, 100 smithing, want to raise enchantment now.

moremoney · 16 Nov 2011 at 23:31

PS, i got the hard back copy cause im gonna sell it in a few years time for lots of cash.
Or i may leave it to my kids , who knows.

Craig1981 · 16 Nov 2011 at 23:37

I have a question about the Companions.

I'm at the bit where they want me to become a Werewolf. Do I need to accept before I can do any more missions for them? And is there any way I can reverse the process later? Or help the Silver Hand wipe out the evil wolfies?

Stupid tags aint working

Ok to your 1st question not sure, your second question Yes at the end and your 3rd I dont know.

culvers · 17 Nov 2011 at 00:21

got to about 20 hours played and barely even got started on the main quest. Thisis definitely going to be a 100 + hour game for me. Just too damned busy with work projects... definitely requires a week off to play through in your underpants..

stoke1863 · 17 Nov 2011 at 00:22

Has anyone had a bug where arrows/ice shards get stuck to your body? Mine wont go away even after multiple days have passed

gives me an idea for a simple mod

first try lol didnt realise the black around the moon wasnt transparent

ill do it again properly tommorow and post a link to the file if anyone wants it

theres like 8 different moons in the game for half moon , full moon etc so i could do different versions of the death star

or i could do the mighty bush moon

Get shot by an arrow or two and they will all disappear along with those ice shards
