Good point. Still not my bag, but I do understand the appeal of a darker game. It's funny though that unless I'm in a "dungeon", I try to plan my quests around daytime (with certain notable exceptions). I guess I'm getting old eh? :)

Anyhow, it's been asked in here before, but I'm level 25 now and I finished Act I (at least the way the guide book refers to it) or rather all the quests leading up to Diplomatic Immunity. I would imagine this would be a good time to start Civil War now? I have not dealt with the main quest too much as others have experienced but done my best to try a little bit of everything. Still loving the game though.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011
I am still encountering those weird problems. I managed to progress further a little, but everytime it gets to a stage where i cannot kill a person and blows do not hit. I am gonna install the updates tomorrow, but i get a feeling that it might be the disc. I have returned to an earlier save and worked back through it and eventually the same issue keeps on coming back. One side mission i took i had to kill a dragon and none of my hits where doing anything. Its weird.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011
How can you tell what the updates do? I have a glitch where I need these 3 amulet fragment to continue. Apparently I cleared a cave before I was supposed to and one of the fragments doesn't appear. I have the option to progress further in the mission, but I need said fragment to continue. It's like I have the fragment, but I don't...and when I go back into the cave to get it, a white marker 'floats' where the fragment should be, but it's not there. I'm hoping this gets fixed in a patch.

I did that quest before and had the same problem. Looked in the guide and apparently you need to complete an entirely different quest in order to progress on the quest you're on.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011
Finally picked this up last week. I was waiting for the lag issue to be cleared up on the PS3 before jumping in. Well, that, and Xenoblade on the Wii was sucking up all my time.
Taking a break from Xeno, and Skyrim is certainly at least as much of a time suck. Played through most of Morrowind and skipped Oblivion entirely. I'm really enjoying it so far. Mostly wandering around doing side quests and occasionally advancing the main story. The only thing I don't like is the behavior of your party members. They tend to get stuck and/or lag way behind. I guess Xenoblade has spoiled me since your party is always right with you, you jump off a cliff into a lake....they jump off a cliff and into a lake, not take the long way around and show up 10 minutes later!! |
Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011
Sorry but I thought they haven't come up with a fix yet for the PS3 lag. I read that the developers were aware of the issues but nothing has been done yet. Has this changed?
I have also been waiting for the fix along with a price drop but the cheapest I have seen was $5 off the retail price. |
Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011
I'm on the PS3 and I've never run into the lag issue. I always hear about how broken the PS3 version is and I have yet to see any glitches. I saw it on Amazon for 49.99 for one week after Christmas but that is it. I got mine from Gamefly for 44.99 and It was basically a new copy.

Really cool interactive map for iPad and iPhone. It's free for the Holds but also has some in-app fees for interior maps.

I never had an issue on the PS3 either and I put in around 120 hours. I'm playing it on PC now though. The mods are pretty neat. |
Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011
Anyone have this issue:
I'm on the Blindsighted Thieves Guild quest at Irknthand. I met Karliah I Brynjolf, spoke to them, but Karliah went back outside of the Arcaneum, then I couldn't find Brynjolf so I started exploring the ruins myself (since my follower cannot come in apparently). I made it a good ways in then ended up right before the slave area to find a shitload of Falmer Shadowmasters and Gloomlurkers. They were kicking my ass A LOT, so I ended up using all my invisibility potions to sneak through. I finally decided to check and see about the quest online and it's saying that Karliah & Brynjolf travel with you into the ruins, so why didn't that happen for me? Any ideas? More Info: I ended up finding Bryjoff back at the Ragged Flagon Cistern, but he keeps saying the same quest stuff as if he were at Irknthand. |
Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011
I finally got this game for $40. I'll start next week when I'm on vacation.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011
Well, I just started this last night on PS3, and I have a major problem right from the get go. My old CRT doesn't support 720p and the game will only display in 480p. I can't uncheck that box in the resolution settings, either. It looks like crap and cuts off the left side of the HUD.

Get a new monitor? They're pretty cheap these days.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011
The box doesn't say what format the game is actually in, it's telling you what type of TV's can display it. A 1080i TV can support it but it doesn't mean it'll be in that resolution.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011
I just started to play this on Monday. I've never been so addicted to a game.
