There are not many games that I would get up early for just so that I can play them for a few hours before going in to work. And I haven't even got any of the DLC yet. What a wonderful game.

Thought I'd play Skyrim for the first time in months. Runs much smoother since getting a new gpu but I'm getting 1 to 2 seconds pause every 30 seconds or so Using Cat 13.1 drivers. Anyone know what could be causing this? Was pretty much unplayable

Is your vram maxing out?

Skyrim is the only game I'll put on, when I don't really feel like gaming. Purely because you can have a break from questing and just do 'normal stuff'

Indeed, I quite enjoy just going hunting wildlife with my sneaky archer.

Can't wait for this total conversion mod, done by the same people who did Nehrim for Oblivion. At least another year to go though.

May be fixed for others but it still seems bugged for me. I downloaded the latest version of the unofficial Dragonborn patch to replace 1.0.0, tried it both with and without the unofficial skyrim patch, and the only other mods I use are just item mods that in no way effect dragons. Still no luck

Amen brother an epic game. I've racked up 100 hour plus without completing main quest or touching dlc.Good escape from reality.

Im on 2nd playthough after getting bored with being armed to the teeth. This time, no console commands.

love this game

anyone else think the dragonborn dlc is a bit rubbish :? I enjoyed dawnguard more some reason . Also miss any kind of gear progression since I have full daedric armour and a dragonbone weapon think it was from dawnguard I was hoping to improve my gear a bit

Michaeljcox24 · 9 Feb 2013 at 22:54

Blood moon and Shivering isles each brought a new and interesting land to TES 3&4, with totally different environments and foes. I've played a few hours of Dragon born, doing the odd quest and exploring the island, and so far it has brought nothing new except for a couple of monsters and dull quests. It's just a little bit more TES 5 to explore, more of the same IMO

.

Perhaps I'm just feeling nostalgic about Blood moon.

So I finally have Dawnguard and Hearthfire...I now need to find time to play them!

King Damager · 10 Feb 2013 at 10:30

I'm doing my second play through, and still seem to be leaning towards basically the same character build

Think I'm going to try and add more sneak/archery to this one though, and rely less on charging in with a deadric 1h dual wield...

I've just completed the Dragonborn DLC and it's very underwhelming. I'd say that the Dawnguard DLC was probably longer and was more interesting.

What essential mods are you guys using?

Michaeljcox24 · 16 Feb 2013 at 15:17

Male or female character?

rubberduck · 16 Feb 2013 at 17:25

What are the 'must-have' skyrim mods. I never got round to playing it much when it was released and am thinking about giving it another go. One thing, I absolutely hated the console style interface. Any way to change it?

Michaeljcox24 · 16 Feb 2013 at 17:31

There's a mod called skyui, but im not a fan. Millions of other lads would disagree though

I'm curious to know why you're not keen on it. Admittedly it's the only inventory UI mod I've used.
