Just incredible - http://steamcommunity.com/id/CaptainRAVE/screenshot/649871686541736379?tab=public

I checked through all your screenshots, very nice

I think the game looks amazing but I wish both myself and my horse made foot prints in snow/mud, would be good feature if the game devs add it later on in a patch.

I guess theres no game with perfect graphics though, even crysis 1 & 2 had some faults in certain areas. I guess to make every single texture and model in a game look perfect would be overkill, as long as everything looks pretty from a distance or when moving around and not really focusing on any one thing, I guess it works.

- I know what you mean about the footprints, would have been such a simple feature to add. Will probably be modded in by someone.

It is one of the few games where I constantly find myself stopping and staring at the scenery!

Fus Do Rah

How do I speak the 2nd word?

I've bound the shout to Mouse 3 and when I press it it only says the first word.

Please tell me how stupid I am ...

You prefer them due to Modding capabilities? Its been out a week,the construction kit isn't even out yet and there's already plenty of mods coming out .

i am a modder I find creating mods more fun than actually playing the game sometimes lol

I've discovered the joys of buying items with enchantments at Warmaidens. Really allows me to invest in enchantments

What do you need them for? I think I might have got them from necromancers in the past, but I might be wrong.

Daedric quest called The Cursed Tribe - some Orc woman wants Troll Fat and a Daedra Heart. You also need one per piece of Daedric armour and weapon you craft.

Well that spec is 10x better then mine and mine runs it fine on ultra settings with almost everything maxed out so you'd have no problem what so ever.

I have amd x3 3.2ghz, 4gb ram, 5770 1gb and I get 60fps indoors, 40-50 outdoors.

Think I've ran out of things to do. Done:

Main quest, thieves guild. companions, mage college, bards college, dark brotherhood.

Anything else to do?

SkScotchegg · 20 Nov 2011 at 00:13

Is there a way to find dragons when you want one or is it just a case of luck and you'll just see one when you come across one accidently? Or are there places where they spawn?

It's just I learnt a new word and wanted to activate a new shout but need a dragon soul

What is the point of the bards college? Is it fun?

Goto places you have already been to, generally.

Or special places with a certain

map marker.

There are areas on maps which highlight dragons, usually on top of mountains. Also at a certain point in the main quest line you are given a map of burial sites which have dragons at them.

It's ok.

Quest spoilers:

Disappointingly, you can't learn to play instruments.

After getting in there's only like 3 quests, but I could only figure out how to do 2 of them. They're all just fetch quests anyway "so and so got his flute stolen, will you get it back for him" etc.
