Well, bears in the game will also try to go around so of course you have to work a bit to make sure you're on the other side of it

I didn't say it was gonna be easy.

If it crashed in the tree and just stood there like a stunned idiot, I would've agreed with you and perhaps called it an exploit.

Oh, you mean you circle the tree? Eh, again, it's not my style. Tactics and grinding really aren't for me, so I just tend to play on Adept and fight like a maniac.

Update from 'thesda. Creation Kit should be coming at the end of the month. Also, patch 1.4 incoming shortly to fix bugs and glitches.

Wow it worked, I lured him down to the village and the local guards did the job for me. I felt disappointed that I had to do this, but the ends justify the means.

All I got was troll fat which was a bit of a disappointment, especially that I'm a warrior and not an alchemist.

I'm so jealous! I can't wait to start playing this game. I am a bit behind in elder scrolls I only just bought Oblivion the other day and am waiting for it to arrive. I only became into rpg when I played fallout a few years ago and became obsessed. I realised the closest to Fallout was Arcanium which is delicious and now am seriously charging through the later ones. Can anyone tell me what the minimum specs are for Skyrim? I have 32bit Win7 and 1.8Ghz.

Eh... That won't be enough. I'm fairly sure 32bit is okay for it, but you'll need 2.0Ghz at the least. I'd go for more to avoid the horribly long loading screens and lag.

Like on the Xbox 360

Mykonos · 01-20-2012, 06:14 PM

They last like, three seconds for me. I barely ever get any lag either, and I'm on high setting for everything. And I don't even have a gaming PC. I do feel bad for the 360 players, as I hear it's really, really slow for them, and installing it isn't a solution as it messes faces up.

Oh, and the CK... Finally! I've been waiting impatiently for any news on it. Doubt I'll make a lot of use of Steam Workshop as I'm perfectly happy with the Nexus' system, but if it's any good I'll be happy to have waited a while longer for non-buggy mods.

Loading screens are kind of long, but not unbearable. There's not really any lag to speak of though.

I think you're thinking of PS3. I've heard the game becomes nearly unplayable it's so laggy after 60 or so hours into a save file.

Freebase Dali · 01-20-2012, 09:23 PM

For a long time, I wished my loading screens were long. After 2 characters and many, many hours of play, I'm JUST now knowing what each loading screen text is saying. I literally had to learn chunks at a time of words on the loading screen because I could never get through a few of the words before the next play frames loaded up.

Blessing and a curse... Had I known some of the things the loading screen was saying when I first started playing, I would have done better. lol...
