I just started the game.
Damn, these weird menus. Meh, I'll get used to them. Controls are fine.
Other than that, it has started off pretty well. I like the graphics and the whole feeling. I heard some Morrowind music here and there. Three guards have assumed that my sweetroll was stolen.
Only one real negative till now. Spiders…. freaking.... spiders! Argh, I'll survive somehow...

@Nex:
More likely you're the only person who has it on Xbox, and the rest of us have to wait a month for it.
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner
I'm not allowed to download it until the roommate gets home. Stupid…friendships...
Oh yeah that stupid console exclusivity thing. I got tired of Skyrim so I probably won't play it. I don't really care about the mounted combat and whatever other stuff is in here to start the game back up.
^ I'm still waiting for them to add more females worth marrying the list canidates by last I checked was bullshit.
Man no matter how strong and awesome your armor and weapons are, the Falmar are still fucking assholes
So i got bored and had nothing to do. Decided to max out in Skyrim. I went running naked to all the major holds to sell potions and weapons to increace my speech and septims. I dont know why but during my visits to Falkreath, this happened.

This whole event actually made me love the game much more!

New DLC announced called Hearthfire it doesn't have any story or anything it basically makes it to where you can purchase a piece of land a build a house there and allows you to customize the inside and outside of the house.
I look forward to doing all of that in Elder Scrolls 6.
Sure would be nice for them to have given Dawngaurd to PS3 owners before announcing a NEW DLC…..
I'm actually still pissed I got shafted out of my Platinum by a glitch. ( Last Deadric artifact quest I needed was glitched out and I cannot complete it, already aquired every other artifact I can...)
Not really excited for any future Skyrim add-ons considering I'll be spending half of my playtime in loading screens. ACTUALLY that's another thing, in order to cut down on loading time (so I heard) you can take off the option to autosave before leaving or entering every single building, or town. So I did...problem is the loading time is only slightly shorter, and whenever I freeze out (happens a lot) I lose a lot of play time from the last time I manually saved.
So basically Bethesda gives us two options 1. Waste time reading about Skyrim facts during loading screens or 2. Waste time re-playing your game from the last time you saved.
Yeah I don't know what's up, but Bethesda has proven time and again that they are pretty terrible at programming, it just looks like the PS3 got the blunt of the problems because it's the red-headed stepchild of consoles. It's a similar situation to BF3 in my mind, they released an unfinished game and instead of fixing the base problems they're just giving everyone more content. People appreciate a playable game over being given more broken content.

Everybody ready for Skyrim: Hearthfire?

bad news for ps3 users.

Bethesda can go fuck themselves. I doubt I'll ever be purchasing any game with their name on it ever again. 2 games in a row they've given PS3 users the finger.
I have no doubt we'll see Dawngaurd eventually, three months from now, when Xbox users have something like 4 DLC packs, and even then it will still be buggy as hell.

That's unfortunate. My friend purchased the game on the PS3.
Either Bethesda needs to learn how to code a decent engine or we need new consoles. Both are probably the problem. There's been so much compromise lately because of their limitations. It's only a matter of time before this happens on the 360 as well. I mean we're already getting games on it over multiple discs and required installs if you want to play the game like it was intended to be played on the console.
Stay classy Bethesda.
Isn't the PS3 more powerful than the 360 by a lot and more powerful than the average computer than can run skyrim on low? I don't think a new even more powerful console will solve whatever the issue is and I don't think it's entirely Bethesdas programmers fault either. Developers have been complaining about making PS3 games for awhile. Most manage to do it eventually but something about the system makes the process more complicated for some. DLC is such a huge part of gaming these days though and i'm betting that Besthesda probably saw this issue coming when they released it on the platform in the first place so that seems like a bit of foul play on their part imo.
The PS3 and 360 are pretty much even in power, but both have downfalls. The PS3's is its split RAM. The 360 has 512 MBs of RAM that can be used for whatever is deemed necessary. The PS3 has 256 MBs of RAM usable by the graphics card, and 256 MBs of RAM usable by the CPU. It's not as versatile as the 360's way. That's actually the main problem I think. Adding more content into the game would cause the RAM usage to go up and the PS3 just can't keep up. It's also Bethesda's fault though for making their engine work the way it does, it apparently keeps track of every object and person in a very large area around the player which causes it to use a shitload of RAM compared to other games.
Skyrim is not a very intensive game to run on PC. I would imagine that a PC from when the consoles were released or a little later would be able to run the game decently.
The Xbox 360 is like a low-grade PC, which, makes it easier to port back and forth between the 360 and PC platforms (Microsoft anyone?). PS3 is completely different, of course, making it harder to port.
Was it the Ebony Blade relic?
No, Mehrune's Razor. Pieces of the Past.
When I went to meet the guy in the temple, he entered, then I entered, and he was gone. Read it up, apparently if the glitch doesn't fix instelf after a week or so of wait time in-game, it's permanent.
Not playing through again…worked so hard for those damn pieces of junk.
So I'm not the only one who could eat her/his breakfast during the loading screens? I thought my comp was that weak.
Anyway, I still think Skyrim misses something important the previous games had. Oblivion and Morrowind, heck, Daggerfall were more charming and full of life. I'll give Skyrim one more chance though, sometime, but now, I'd rather try Arena or continue Daggerfall.
You're playing on PC and getting long loading screens? That's strange. The loading time when I first start up the game is usually around 20 seconds and then the loading times within the game itself are near instantaneous.
Same my loading times are pretty short even when i have a lot of programs open. My PC isn't the best either but i'd say it's solid. I play on high everything except maybe shadows.
I don't know why, to be honest.
My comp can't be that bad, since any other game (even newer ones) runs smoothly with the appropriate settings (i.e. not too high). I only had this loading problem with Skyrim so far and even then, the game had didn't lag.
Maybe I did something wrong with the settings, or something like that.
My PS3 just wiped itself, and I lost a nearly complete Skkyrim game. I think I'll just return it to my friend and buy it for cheap on the PC, at least that way I can get the DLC and do mods also.
Latest Add-on for Skyrim: Dragonborn. December 4th on Xbox. And after 1 month for PC users. PS3 users can forget any new content as Bethesda are having technical problems with PS3..Well, thats what they say.
Summery: One of the Dragon Priests, used to devour Dragons instead of serving them. He will return to the current time in Skyrim in order to feast on the dragons who have returned. He was the first Dragonborn.
Trailer is pretty neat. New enemies and new armour and a new place (with respect to Skyrim) called Solstheim. (Bloodmoon expansion from Morrowind.)
PS3 has the same about of RAM as the 360 but it's split between CPU and GPU. So depending on how Bethesda would add the new content in the PS3 only has half the RAM as the 360 and they're already at the limit as it is.
S…Solstheim? R-really Bethesda? Rieklings, Bonemold Armor, Telvanni towers...
If House Redoran, Hlaalu and Telvanni are all in this DLC, I promise, I'm going looney tunes.
Seriously, this is possibly the best news any Morrowind fan can get, short of announcing another game centered around the province.
Can't wait to see Raven Rock and Castle Karstaag return, maybe even a Skaal settlement that survived, etc.
Story sounds alright, although I'm getting tired of Dragon-related antagonists in the game. I know it's the focus of the game, but there are too much unknown evil forces in the Tes universe that would have worked as a substitute. Only thing I can hope is, after seeing the trailer, that at least Hermaeus Mora will be of importance, since I think the realm full of books should be his plane of oblivion.
Anyway, really excited about this, hope the Dragonborn DLC will massively improve the game just like Shivering Isles did with Oblivion.
I wonder if the bloodmoon rituals are still a thing there.
"We have tried a number of things, but none of them solves the issue enough to make Dawnguard good for everyone. the PS3 system is a powerful System and we are working hard to deliver the content you guys want"
This is what Bethesda said 2 months earlier.
Anyways, i am happy that places from Morrowind are included. What i want is Lore! Especially into Dwemer and Falmer.

I don't think the dragons are going to be a main antagonist in this DLC. In fact, I don't really see a main antagonist at all–maybe the first Dragonborn...reborn? So happy to see Morrowind stuff though, modern generation Morrowind stuff. Also... Are they adding spears/pikes as a weapon? I saw some enemies wielding them in the trailer, and, I'm hoping, they may become usable in Skyrim--like how crossbows became usable in Dawnguard.
From the trailer, i can clearly see Velothi Architecture from Morrowind, new breed of dragons (maybe ride able), Talvanni Tower, Ascended sleepers and also what looks like the realm of Herma-Mora.
I am confused, isn't Konahrik the first dragonborn? Or was it Talos?
My hate for Bethesda grows daily, and this isn't helping.

Can we be sure that that was an ascended sleeper? I assumed that with Dagoth Ur slain and House Dagoth in ruins, that the corpus disease wouldn't be able to survive til the fourth era. There were also never any Dagoth settlments on Solstheim to begin with. Although I do hope I'm wrong here.
Wouldn't the first child/descendant of Alessia be the first Dragonborn? Since it was her who made the conduit with Akatosh to begin with?

Well, it looked Corpus diseases and sleepers to me. I can be wrong here though. And did you notice the Nordic ruin in the trailer?
Yeah you are right, i read the lore. I was confused somehow.

I actually just got to watch the trailer a second time, and just noticed some other stuff. That really could be an ascended sleeper, since the two guys shown after him really do look like corpus infected. Thinking about it, corpus making it to Solstheim after the death of Dagoth Ur isn't as far-fetched as I first tought, so you may be onto something.
Noticed some more interesting stuff; Netch return from Morrowind, besides a telvanni village there is also one shown with architecture of House Redoran, so I guess House Telvanni, Redoran and Dagoth return in some way.
Hermaeus Mora and his realm are pretty much confirmed.
And last, I don't have any prove for this, but I think the man sitting alone in some small settlement is a skaal, would certainly fit the way he looks and where he is.
There is also Dragon mounts now, but I don't really care about that, more interested about if only Rieklings get to wield spears.
Skyrim. $15 on Black Friday. 360 or PS3. I'm guessing 360 but want to know if the PS3 complaints are genuine or just fanboy bitching.
Definitely 360. I myself haven't played the PS3 version and some of the stuff has been ironed out. But it still runs worse on PS3 to my knowledge and they also probably won't get any further DLC if you care either.
What a deal, get Skyrim when it's 15 bucks or wait until an inevitable Game of the Year edition comes out for 60 with all the updates/DLC included? Hmm…
Though I already have it for PC, but it is just food for thought for those considering to buy it this Thanksgiving.
(Note: Probably worth buying something better and waiting for all of Skyrim's DLC to be released alongside it.)
waits for Black Friday Steam deals
Soon…
LOVE AND PEACE
