The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim announced

Does this game have a weird FOV? I've had to stop playing it. I'm getting terrible dizzy spells everytime I turn. In under 10 minutes. It's horrid. Yet with hardly any action I'm getting this just walking about. Yet Battlefield 3 gives me no issues, nor does the Uncharted games.

This is worse than reading in a car.

Have you tried changing the FOV in your INI settings? Have a read of the first post in the mods thread
 
I came across a bug last night when trying to get Esbern to talk to me and unlock the door in Alduin's Wall quest. The sound wasn't there, his speech was too fast and he wouldn't unlock the door. Turns out to be a well documented bug and the fix which worked for me was to delete the skyrim.ini.
 

Thats just the way the damage works out. Destruction, as usual, levels slowly. I'm finally getting the Augmented Flames/Shock/Frost 2/2 perk which ups the damage on my Adept level spells to 60, and while you can kick out a ton of damage to begin with, once you run out of magicka you barely do any. Even less considering against Mages your second hand will probably be a Ward spell to prevent damage. Expert level spells will be doing 90 but cost even more.

Since theres no custom spell creation all we can do to change things up is abuse Destruction spells cost x% less enchantments and obviously the closer you get to 0% costs the more broken the mechanics become. Whereas physical damage dealers will probably far surpass the damage output around mid-game. My Sword+Shields weapon is an Exquisite Skyforge Steel Sword which does 30, roughly the same as an Apprentice level spell and its pretty poor but the best I can do. My stealth archer now has a Legendary Glass Bow doing over 100 damage a shot (tripled by sneak attacks, made stronger by critical hits).

Easier said than done to use Training. 15-50 isn't too bad, its your level +50 to train. But 50-75 is extremely expensive and 75-90 the cost goes through the roof. I only have 22k atm and thats staying steady because I keep buying top tier arrows and cleaning out ingredients from alchemists. If I started spending on training too I'd be bankrupt in about 10 levels.

haha so funny when it happens :p

My favourite was killing a dragon then getting mauled to death from full health in 2 hits by a Cave Bear on my Mage :(
 
How the hell do you get this game to install from the CD? it keeps wanting to install steam and download the game. If it needs steam installed to play the game the CD was a waste of money :mad:

It looks like it is instaling from steam, but its actually loading off your disk,just let it install, you will see. :)

For some it seems to have installed off the disc without any effort, for others it takes a dozen or so attempts to get it to install from the disc, then, if you are unlucky like me it just will not install from the disc at all, after spending ages trying to install from the disc I finally gave in and just let it d/l from Steam :(
 
I've never used the spell but I've used it in poisons. Doesn't work on Dragons and Dragon Priests, (could be the Dragon Priests have poison resistance but I wouldn't bet on the spell working), seemed to work on all the creatures I've tried it on so far like Cave Bears and Frost Trolls so the weaker enemies should be susceptible. Humanoid creatures like draugr I don't see why not either and all NPCs should be too. Don't know if it works on Giants and Mammoths (I'd suspect not).

Probably works on most things really. Ghosts I would presume it won't work on, Skeletons maybe not, Dragons and Dragon Priests and maybe certain bosses, but otherwise it should be effective.

Edit: Forgot about Atronachs but then you never actually fight them...
 
Dragon priests are undead, so they're immune to poison, but I don't know if they can be paralysed or not with spells.

Sure I've used Damage Health poisons on Draugr before. I dunno, guess I should try them more often to see what sticks. I only really use paralysis poisons against the odd animal that surprises me. Slow poisons don't seem to do anything so they're not worth bothering with (other than the epic sell price). Damage Health works nicely on Dragons and most other things, only thing I've seen resist it is a Dragon Priest.
