lied through my teeth, I want it just to get skyrim for free... just to see if I'd like it. But instead they made me lie. I said I beat the game at lvl 49 and 100 hours that sound about right?
I just started playing Dawnguard. I guess I'm going to side with the vampires for now, as it seems like you miss most of the good content otherwise. It's been ages since I played this, and whatever patches they've released since then seem to have fixed the weird stuttering I used to experience.
I just found a mod that has location damage on enemies as well as on yourself. It also gets you disoriented if you get smacked on the head. I might fire it up again in a few weeks just to try this out.
This is out on Xbox on December the 4th. Here's what we know. You'll be travelling to Solstheim, an island to the northwest of Vvardenfell in Morrowind, just northeast of Skyrim. You'll encounter the first ever Dragonborn. You can finally ride dragons as most people seem to want, I can see it being fun for about 5 seconds then the novelty would wear off but we'll see. Goblins, a staple of the Elder Scrolls are returning. They now look small and fat for some reason. That's about it. I'm still waiting for the level caps of skill to be raised to 200 and more perks to be added. Since they took so damn long releasing the DLC my main character can't really level up any more, and that's the fun part. It surely can't be that hard to implement. 1600msp, December the 4th 2012. PS3 owners still feel like this:
I'm still loving it. Transferred to the Xbox a few months ago when my ps3 broke and I'm still going strong. My main is at level 70 and is specced in such a way that he suits all play styles such as warrior, Mage, or rogue and is equally awesome at all of them. I also made 3 new characters in the last fortnight alone. I currently have 9 characters on the Xbox version, although I haven't touched a few of them for quite some time. Still my favourite game ever, I love everything about it.
I am still disappointed by the quality of the PS3 version in comparison to the other two. Considering that Oblivion on PS3 was probably the best version, seeing Skyrim on PS3 to be actually the worst is a kind of a surprise. Not that there were no clues - Oblivion was ported to PS3 by an external team, Skyrim was coded by Beth internally. I haven't played the game for few months, I don't like the idea of buying the X0 just to replay it and the PS3 version still misses all the expansion packs. Luckily, I was able to finish most of quests with only minor issues and the only persisting issue was the unacceptable occasional lag.
If I ever wanted a sure fire way to crash my PS3 Iwould stick a Bethesda game in. Fallout NV and Skyrim would crash at least once per day. I had to turn auto saving completely off in Skyrim to stop it happening (or happen less often) but this meant I had to manually save all the time which without a shortcut key is tedious.
Sad but true. For some reason Fallout 3 was not-that-bad but both Skyrim and NV are terrible. I wouldn't say "at least once per day" but I had like Skyrim 3 or 4 crashes which caused the PS3 to rebuild its file system which sounded rather seriously.
Yeah skyrim has its fair share if flaws, it's a testament I how good I think it is that after all the issues we suffered through I would still choose it over any other game I've ever played, easily.
Did they fix those problems in the end? I never did finish off the game back along. I know I was close though.
No, some issues are still not fixed. In particular, the PS3 version is unplayable for a lot of people. I was probably in the small group of those who were able to finish it with only minor problems. Yes, it is still worth to play it, I doubt it is buggier than Daggerfall for example and I spent like 200 hours there. But, as I get older, I am also more tired of the same story - greatest game with most bugs. This WOULD possibly be forgivable if it hadn't been for Fallout 3 which is a proof that it IS possible to have a deep open-world game with plethora of quests with different endings.
I find it amusing when people say they "finished" skyrim. I think what they actually mean is they finished one questline, the main Dragon questline. I wouldn't say you've finished Skyrim unless you've done every single quest, side quest, misc quest, reached level 81, gotten all the achievements, found and unlocked all of the words, and found all of the Dragon Priest masks. That's what I'd call finished.
