I'm so amazed. The system requirements for this game are a 2 ghz processor and 512 mb video memory... ect.

My laptop (Asus EEE 1215B) has a dual core 1.6ghz (AMD E-350) processor and 8 GB memory (400 mb shared for video card). It runs Skyrim almost smoothly at medium... (I changed texutures to low quality and it's smooth now) The game is beautiful... and I'm still amazed that I'm able to play it at all... wow!

I dread to think what the textures look like on low. They look bad enough on Ultra :p

I think you can't put textures on Ultra... My Macbook Pro 2011 17" doesn't have that option for textures (High is the maximum). I wonder if it is only me?

I can't see Steam Workshop offering us similar or better features than Wyre Bash coupled with a mod manager can offer. Obviously, with heavier mods, there are many factors to take into account with extra scripting possible incompatibilities. TesNexus already has its own tool now that, by the time Construction Set is out, will have just as many features as Oblivion Mod Manager did, except with automatic updates and one click downloading and importing.

As for the 1-in-87 chance supposedly, I think that it will be a much more open platform, seeing as Valve has to regulate the hat economy and balance of Team Fortress 2, since it is online.

That being said, if they manage to pull off a seamless integration that can reliably counter the many problems that Bethesda modding has, it could definitely useful. At the very least it will be useful for texture modding and what-not.

Will be buying the game when I get home, any recommendations on mods (gfx related) ( if any ), or recommendations at all relating to to do I game. Never played oblivion, just a little bit of mass effect ( got bored after freeing that one person in the cell )

Read a good chunk of the thread also

As far as mods go, check skyrimnexus.com and look at the most endorsed.

Nothing much beyond textures are releasing right now, as the construction set which allows major editing of the game has yet to be released.

The construction set has been confirmed for January, and STEAM will start hosting Mods. Pretty cool stuff.

As for what mods to use... I've started a video series showing off how the game looks with the mods I

have installed. Check Sig.

Also, screenshot of my mods:

Quest Items remain in the inventory even after the quests are completed :/ . Rjorn's Drum and Pantea's Flute are no feathers.

Some real Haters on the Nexus website. lol

Some people don't like my dedication to PC mods for the game for some reason,

while there are "tutorials" listed which aren't technically Mods, either. Grr...

Screw'em!

Quest items do not actually add any weight. They have weight listed, but they don't do anything. That being said, they can be annoying for organization, so if you're on the PC you can use the console to remove them.

I really don't like the inventory system on the PC. I've got to level 31 and I've got so many question items scrolling through them all is a tad annoying.

Even if I question the whole design, they are missing some important things as it is. They should have shown weight and have a entry (like favorites) that sorts on heaviest first. Would ease up finding those heavy things to loose first when you are close to weight limit. Also when picking up notes/books and stuff like that, they should have an entry that only shows the latest picked up items so you very fast can find that thing you picked up, even good to find those junk items you picked up by mistake when aiming for that potion.

The Bard School's quest items which I have already mentioned above do have weight. Ditto for some useless journals which I already delivered to the Ragged Flagon waiter but still lies in my inventory.

yeah, there's a lot of quests that a) break if you find the item before having the quest (e.g. bard's college flute) b) leave the quest items into your inventory after completing the quest (still marked as quest items so you can't drop them off without pulling up the console).

well, been playing it for couple hours ( just stoped ) and before i hit lvl 5 i got infected with the vampire disease.... so had to run around finding a cure disease potion. first cave i ran into that wasnt quest related, and it was a vamp cave ( cave was named after somebodys shame ) was when i was enroute to the grey beards.

yea you all were right, fast travel. i didnt feel like running back Down the mountain, at least i had/have a horse. but still took a long time to get there

also added some mods after playing for a bit without. so far its awsome. kinda like to get out of Imperial Heavy Armor though.

If you get infected you can also cure it by going to a temple and activate the altar to get blessed and cured. It's good to have a one or two cure disease potions with you when adventuring though.

Its kind of annoying that when you die and your weapon falls to the ground people complain about you "leaving your trash on the ground".

I also just killed the Old Orc along the road who asked for a good death; right before I was about to kill him, he surrendered saying "I submit!" ...
