And the high archery skill also makes the Dark Brotherhood stuff too easy as well as I'm now discovering. "You'll need to be extra sneaky and avoid notice while you stalk and kill so-and-so. Unless of course you're a kick-ass archer in which case you can just stand by the edge of the woods, plink him with an arrow, and then be home by lunch."

Yep which is why it's so hard to stop using the bow. In my sad-sack attempt to level up my one-handed skill I now use the weakest arrow I have which typically paralyzes the enemy without killing them then I close and bash their head in with a soul-catching mace.

I just came in here to post that video. Pretty amusing.

I'm amazed nobody raced in here to post about the upcoming Kinect support update. At first I thought it was a really late April Fools Day joke. Seems legit after some research. I won't be using it for shouts but it will be awesome to have for controlling your follower and switching weapons.

I just started playing this game, and now I want to buy a Kinect just for this.

There's a "Kinect for Windows" product, but I don't think it works with any game releases like this (yet). Seems to be more of a dev tool. Maybe somebody else here knows more about it.
Anyway, for those waiting for news on expansions, they made the first official post-game mention of such along with the Kinect announcement:
I'm sure the exclusivity is timed as it always has been with Bethesda releases, and no they won't tell us how long that time frame will be.

Does anyone else's game freeze up a lot? I play this game about 3-4 times a week and almost every time after 2-3 hours of playing it freezes up. On one hand it's frustrating, on the other it's like the game is forcing me to go to bed.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011
I played the game for close to 200 hours and it only froze twice on me (PS3). HUGE improvement from the Fallout games. Also, I didn't start playing until after the 1.4 patch was released.
Almost all the things I've read about freezing issues (on consoles anyway) was to delete the game data, and let it reinstall. It installs the latest patch data first, and then installs the on-disc game data second. The game seems to be more stable when installed that way.

Supposedly the DLC will be announced this month according to some of the rumors. Hopefully it's as good as Shivering Isles was.

Anyone check out the interactive Skyrim iPad app from IGN? It seems pretty usefull for quick references and is free for a "limited time". Worth checking out.

Hopefully it'll be out early in the summer since, from now until the fall, there's absolutely nothing coming out that I want, and this will fill that gap nicely.
