my son lost my copy....grrrr

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011
 

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.

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."

Just out of curiosity, are you playing on the hardest level?

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011
 

Interesting, I did go in the water right before I experienced the crash. I'll try that.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011
 

I thought this was fun:

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

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011
 

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.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011
 

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

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011
 

Does Kinnect work with the pc? i saw videos awhile back where they were doing some apps on the pc with the kinnect.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011
 

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.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011
 

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.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011
 

does anyone know when they are doing new dlc for this?

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011
 

no but they will....the last elder scrolls game had the first mission like dlc about 8 months or so after it came out...and the first BIG dlc a year later...

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011
 

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

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011
 

This seems to have work. Thanks.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011
 

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.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011
 

Yup grabbed it the other day. The map is great but usually I just use the UESP for quest related info.

Just rumors but still a little something about DLC:

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011
 

I'll never play this game but I love that video.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011
 

Just announced today, new dlc is called Dawnguard. Coming sometime this summer and its a temporary 360 exclusive.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011
 

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.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011
 

Did the Kinect update come up yet?
