I know it's not Skyrim, but if you liked that video check out this video by the same guys.  You just have to watch it...when it happens, you'll know it.

You guys think Skyrim will run OK with a AMD Radeon HD 6490M? My computer meets all other requirements, I just need to find a copy of windows to install on it (yes, it's a Mac).
I only listen to electro-post dubprog.  You've probably never heard of it.

So someone hired a group of thugs to come kill me, and when I saw the contract it had the person's name on it. I look them up and it's Dorthe the child. WTF you little shit

I hate how you can't kill the children. They're all the most annoying characters in the game, and they're the only ones who are invincible. It's bullshit.

Too bad we don't have an adoring fan to kick around either.

So has anyone tried bow & arrow type crap? How does it compare to the aggravating ranged combat of Oblivion?

Seems kind of the same as Oblivion, but I never had a problem with it so I don't know how to address your question.

It's my primary weapon as a sneak, so I'm mainly shooting still enemies and I have no problem with it.

I feel it is much less sluggish than it was in Oblivion. It's way easier to aim, in the least.

Plus, I imagine that the perks make it much more manageable as well.



So, who else here agrees that Frost Trolls can go fuck themselves? Seriously, why are they one of the hardest fucking things to kill ever?

THIS!! I was talking last night with some friend about the game and I literally told them "if you see a Frost Troll, RUN THE OTHER WAY!"

Dustman's Cairn, I believe. You end up going there on a quest a little bit after you join the Companions.

It's really not that bad, I think I've seen it happen once or twice in like 17 hours of playtime.

I think you guys have gotten me wrapped up in the hype. As much as I complain about western RPGs and TES in general, I'm oddly tempted to pick this up. Or, more likely, rent it and give it a shot.

Yeah, if you didn't like the others ones I'd say rent it first, though it's definitely the most accessible game of the series thus far.

Yeah, some time this week I'm planning to hit up Blockbuster. Though I've never had a Blockbuster account, so I don't know how much of a hassle this is going to be.

Well, you need 3 souls to get the full shout and you need to find the 3 words for each shouts. Each one is on a different word wall scattered throughout Skyrim.
