That cpu is the bottleneck.If you overclock that cpu you will see a massive increase in FPS

Tis true, my SINGLE CORE A64 at 2850mhz is wiping floor with most dual core users in this game of course, im sure that will change when games start making use of 2 cores

Got the game sat here in front of me but can't install it until monday until my 150 gig raptor arrives

should run ok though on my system once installed.

Am I the only one that has been playing since thursday and not even done the first part of the main quest line? (Deliver the amulet)

There's just SO much to do, it's overwhelming. I'm caught up doing some spying and assassination quests at the moment

I'm not doing the main quest yet either. Still exploring Imperial City and am about to join the Thieves Guild. Probably won't be a while until I start on the main quest.

sachinbadiani · 25 Mar 2006 at 16:15

I've been wrapped up in the main quest, but I'm gonna drift off now and start doing loads and loads of other quests.

Oohh wheres the dark brotherhood ? and whats areana ? lol

I think the dark brotherhood is the assasin guild, just kill an innocent person then rest and they'll come meet you in the middle of the night.

And the Arena is in the Imperial city and you can either fight for money or bet on the fights.

ive got 2x36gb raptors in raid 0, and there is NO loading in outdoor sections at all, and the switch from outside to indoor sections take less than 1 second, I dont even have chance to read the loading hints!! Best loading times in a game like this EVER i think!

I'm in the same boat. Haven't even competed a single quest!

What did everyone think of the doucumentary that came with the CE? I thought it was pretty sharp but I would have liked a look at the game in the early stages of development to.

Does anyone know where I can hand in stolen loot to the thieves guild? Ongar is one of the NPC's that accepts stolen loot but I haven't got a clue where he is. I can't start the thieves guild quests without handing in a certain amount of stolen loot.

Erm, just did the initiation last night, I think he said there's a fence in Bruma but can't remeber any more than that.

He's in Bruma near the entrance

Well I know its not dual core optimised, also seen it running on my mates dual core A64 at 2500mhz, same vid card as mine, my 2850mhz single core runs much quicker, much more responsive, at the moment no games truely take advantage of dual core what so ever (the exception being ID's software engines, then its not enabled by default, when it is its not like a Massive increase in fps), obviously other software does, but not games, not really

He's inside the pub in Bruma. Just to your left as you walk in. Olav's tap and tack. He's in there from midnight to the morning. Gives you goo oppurtunity to rob all the houses in bruma in one evening too. Start at 11pm finish at 3-4am. I made about 3000 coins ive been robbing everywhere, not been caught once

Another good place to rob, is the jewellery shop in the main castle in the market district.

I've had a play on 2 fresh machines. All it took was one setting change to get the dual-core outperforming the single-core (much to the dismay of the SC owner!). :cool:

Lanz · 25 Mar 2006 at 18:49

I think i might have made a booboo, I robbed that guild recruiters shack and stole 150 worth of stuff, Im not sure if that Ongar bloke will buy it.

I had a feeling someone would say that. I took it off their forum and it seems to take a pounding 24/7. I'll try and find the link, give me a few weeks...

It did wonders for a fresh machine. Gave the SC a little poke too.
