Thanks for your replies, but no matter what I change in the ini.file (I dont change things randomly but according to some mod guides) absolutely nothing seems to change in the game: the shadows are still ugly as fuck (not the shadows of plants thou): especially the character shadows or shadows of objects in dungeons. they flicker like crazy.
I ve also just downloaded and installed the latest nvidia graphics driver. --> nothing changed. My only hope is a patch
I tink, MC so sterong

I just finished the main quest. Now i will restart a char. I finished the game as adept (pretty easy imo) with a 2H Heavy armor! Level 20 or something. Only did as side quests the Companions and was the leader/werewolf!

Time to restart and explore 100% of the game now will take more than 25/35hours!
Any suggestion for my second char? Mage looks really fun! My first char didn't use any magic!

Bahhhh I want to try out plenty of other character paths, but honestly I don't know how long the game will hold my interest. It's already feeling a bit repetitive on my first playthrough.

I'm going full destruction-lightning mage right now, dabbling in speech and the sneaky/theivery traits, so I also want to try out all the physical combat and archery archetypes.

But just now playing I was wondering if it would be possible to play almost purely as a necromancer, glass cannon style. Have a small army of undead/zombies and use them for the bulk of your killing. Anyone think it would be viable?
I admire your commitment to being *very* oily

I get the feeling that 90% of the hate for oblivion comes down to the level scaling which is the easiest thing in the world to get rid of. You could even get giants in Obliv with the smallest mod. Dragons and woolly mammoths are the only thing it didn't have.

Let me also say this...I can understand why people preferred Morrowind. Because I do admit there was a serious difference between Obliv and Morro. But I don't see the difference (beyond superficialities) between Skyrim and Obliv.


There's a lot wrong with Oblivion beyond the level scaling. Caves/Shrines/etc. in Oblivion were a tedious chore and used one of the two layouts that they designed.

You can't say that the skill/leveling system in Oblivion wasn't a mess either. Skyrims is something completely different as well.

I still prefer Morrowind, even though that game had a lot of flaws, but Skyrim to Oblivion? Skyrim hands down.

Well, I have purchased the bedroom package already and I've been companion-less since Lydia died. Still shows up as "owned". No big deal of course.

I love the references made in good taste in this game.

I know there is Wulfgar and that Star Trek guy in Markrath and then there were some other people too.

I read a few times of people enchanting massive amounts, like -95% cost for destruction spells across their gear, but when i disenchanted a -12% cost +50% regen thing, i can only enchant -1% cost and like +3% regen. Is it because of levels etc? what enchanting do i need? Im ~40 dest on this char since i rerolled recently after learning that perks were limited and i shouldnt throw them around into random shit like i was before

Anyone have any ideas on what might cause my game to get stuck loading infinitely?

Basically I can create a character, flee from the dragon in the beginning, but as soon as I get to the entrance of Helgen Keep and enter, the loading screen sits there forever (tested up to ~30 minutes). The music plays and loading screen graphics update (swirling smoke), so it's not exactly frozen, but it clearly isn't doing anything either.

I've tried new drivers, reinstalling twice, creating new characters, etc. etc., to no avail. Anyone experienced anything similar?

Bump.. no one has encountered this?

I managed to obtain a save game post-Helgen Keep, and again outside world is fine, but as soon as I try to enter Bleak Falls dungeon, it does the same infinite loading. Strangely enough, I can enter houses and such just fine.

I am very bored and even though im not playing this I looked on this page:

http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Enchanting_(Skyrim)

at the bottom under notes it says

"With 100 skill level and grand soul "Fortify magic school" results 25% power. Which means with 4 items (chest, ring, amulet and head) you can cast spells for free. "

With Conjuration you can only get one "pet", or the last perk can increase this to two.

Seems like you may not have a good soul gem in your inventory to enchant with? Using petty souls will give you numbers like that.

While possible, this is an extremely frustrating way to play due to AI. Especially any ranged or magic using zombie you revive will always stay far back and cause you to rage as your forced to fight everything alone. The only summon that is consistently useful is the ice demon summon, and even then I often have to re-summon him in new locations after he gets his fat ass stuck in a doorway.

It depends on both the enchanting level and the quality of the soul gem used. Use a better soul gem and level up enchanting.

The foes are more skillfull, more health or are there simply more foes at the same level.


I belive but Im not 100% sure that you fight same amount of foes on different levels, and the only difference is that they got more hp, more dmg and overall more resistance, and that leads to longer fights that require better tactic and potion/power/shout management. All of this doesn't apply to thief, sneak type of character because no matter of difficulty level you gonna one shoot most of the mobs in mid to late game when you got some decent gear, and 30x dmg hits are ridiculous

Well, I've been playing a pure glass cannon build with 100% into magic, and the game is still very easy on masters.

Outdoors everything can easily be kited with rocks/water etc, and indoors you never seem to fight more than 2-3 enemies at a time. I figured out that you can kill any melee enemy in the game with a simple kite method: wait for them to come up to you , then you sprint directly past them on one side....they attack and miss every time and you can easily do this forever while you recharge magic.

The spell tiers are also dissapointing, while the bigshot spells do more damage, they also seem to get less and less mana efficient. The way to play is with the most basic long range spell available, these will still stagger your opponent, which combined with their tiny mana cost allows you to permastun any singe enemy, and have enough firepower to kill several because they are pretty efficient. If you try to use the big spells like incinerate you wont be able to kill a single falmer with an entire mana bar...they suck even with the reduced cost.

Also I have nothing to spend my money on and its too much of a pain in the ass to go to 25 merchants to sell all my loot....so I've just been dumping it all in my chest in my house, still have like 25k and nothing to do. Guess I'll just finish the game.

The enemy AI is just so poor, I can kill 5 mammoths with sparks if I have a little tree to hide behind....and theres no way to really not abuse the AI. What am I going to do? Just sit there as a mage and engage in hand to hand combat? The fact that no enemy in the game seems to be able to catch a sprinting char makes kiting way too strong.
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

Well...give me an example of a game like Skyrim where the AI is better? Sad fact is that AI in most video games sucks balls. You're complaining about computer games, not about Skyrim. If you are desperate for competition you shouldn't be playing singleplayer RPGs...

(Although I will admit they should make an -ultra- difficulty with things like hard caps on bonuses to skills, enemies who have spells like lower resist, enemies having 3x as much HP and 3x as much damage, etc...ALSO there should not be the option to change difficulty. And if you want even harder, then create a hardcore mode haha)

After hearing about Esbern from Delphine I went to Riften and got into the thieves guild. It says on guides that I am supposed talk to Vekel the man to find Esbern, but I don't have any option regarding that. All I get is buying, doing a mission (finding some books) and him telling me about the guild. Also I don't have any quest about finding Esbern, nor do I get one from Delphine. Anyone know what I can do to progress?


I remember doing that but I can't remember what I did sorry lol.

Why even make a fucking post if this is the answer you have?
