I put mouse acceleration to 0 in the ini file, did the vsync thing, and put my mouse acceleration to 0 in my G9x driver, but it still lags a bit in game and really lags badly in my inventory screen. Edit: Will try doing these tweaks in the mydocs\games\skyrim .ini file instead of the steam one... some people are saying that might help. Also read to turn off vsync in my graphics card toolbox as well. Will also turn off controller as that has given people issues. Hopefully everyone else isn't having these issues... mouse lag is really really annoying. | ||

I feel it so simple, so "undeep", i think that skyrim with a dragon age or kotor or baldur's gate battle style (not neccesary turn based) would be the perfect game, but imo the battle system is pretty weak. | ||

When i googled i only found lists of all caves, dungeons... but not a concrete number and its pretty dumb going trough the list and then alt tabing to my map in skyrim to search for the location to check if i found it already.

Yeah, battle system is very tedious and unrewarding no matter which style you play. Archery? Abuse AI, Melee? Abuse AI and mash attack button. Spellcaster? Spam destruction spells or watch as your summons kill them... Spells lack complexity, archery and fighting lack use of real skills. You'd think they could add some more interesting mouse gesture attacks or skill for blocking. Even the bossfights and dragon fights are boring. They usually get stuck somewhere or try to attack something else while you can safely finish them. The AI feels so... dead, I hoped they'd have fixed it since Oblivion but Bethesda are terrible at learning from past mistakes. A quick glance at the main competition Witcher 2 or Dark Souls and the combat feels like a terrible never-ending nightmare in comparison. And I haven't even mentioned the annoying level-up-system or the broken enchanting and smithing, because people talk about it all the time. Same thing with the controls. Who would have thought the most challenging part of the game was selecting the star in the skill-tree you wanted to level up? Hilarious. And while i commend the amount of dialogue and books in the game, the writing is fucking horrendous. Every character treats you as a 5 year old delivery-boy. Characters personalities are either nonexistent to theatrically overblown archetypes. There is no maturity, no real decision-making beyond some black vs white scenarios which rarely has any significance whatsoever (how can Skyrim even be called a RPG at this point?), everywhere you go, it's the same quests no matter the person, town or land. Even in the more "elaborately" created guildquests, you gotta hunt those fucking artifacts. And when you go hunting artifacts, it's always in some shitty dungeon with hundreds of Draugrs. Yeah, I know, you think I'm being unnecessarily harsh, but all these minor flaws pile up and make me annoyed because I can't grasp the atmosphere or the world. It's a dead and desolate place. Same feeling as with Fallout 3. Same as Oblivion. Betheseda creates all these NPCs who go about on their daily lives in the games, yet it's just a shallow exterior to this empty shell. It irks me how some things are very polished in the game, yet other, more basic elements are fundamentally discarded. It's ironic how Obsidian managed to succeed in creating a lot more involving, large world in barely a year with New Vegas which is what Betheseda attempted for over a decade... and still can't get right. I'm a bit surprised and alarmed at this recycled concept is getting such good reviews. I thought we had higher standards than this for an ideal game. | ||

Although i didn't really like Archery, i feel like for Archery it would have been cool if it mattered where you hit with the arrow. Not that i disliked the aiming difficulty (i played without that zooming perk and it was pretty hard to hit running enemies), it just didn't really matter because sneak attacking is pretty much a must have. If you don't sneak attack your damage will suck Archery at a decent difficulty (i played expert for my archer and for a long time Lydia did more damage than i if i didn't sneak attack), except if you abuse crafting too much, which i generally avoid after my archer got so damned imba that i made a new char. By the way, is it just me or is that fight vs that named draugr with 2 illusions on different platforms by far the hardest one? I can't tell yet but i haven't met anything as silly yet. I had to go down from master to adept because it was silly. | ||

If your archery isn't doing enough damage then you're doing something wrong  It's all I use for damage and it's more than enough at master difficulty. My bow does 250 damage currently without any + damage enchants. Then again this is with smithing, but doesn't everything not do enough damage without smithing? | ||

Shooting on the move is crazy, hitting a standing target while moving is so goddamn hard. | ||

And no, my 1h+shield is now able to play fine without any crafting. Although the early game was pretty tough and i had to play on expert for a while. That being said, i have a follower and it might be too hard without one. Plus i was talking about the early game. (oops just saw that i forgot to mention that ^^) If you have a 250 damage bow at the early game then you must have crafted like a madman, i.e. buying ore from NPCs for example. It's pretty cool to actually use gear that you find. That being said i uprgade that gear so i don't exactly play all without smithing, just that i don't craft gear. Either way it's all up to anyone's own on how to play the game! | ||

Guess if you plan to go through the whole game without ever touching Smithing, this is the talent for you. Edit: Does Elemental Fury work with Bound weapons? Yes it does. Further on in conjuration you can also make bound weapons auto cast soul trap on their targets and banish summoned creatures. EDIT: I read the posts below yours and it might not work once you get the aforementioned soul trap and banish perks. | ||

I rez her with the console because i don't want to lose her, but the feeling of unkillable horse has long fallen. Shadowmere is killable? I just looked it up, she respawns 15-20 days later, at the location of her death. | ||

Marked for death really helps vs dragons though. And from what i know it lasts forever (?) and stacks. I did marked for death lvl 3 twice on an elder dragon and my crappy 60 dmg 1h sword killed the dragon in like 5 power attacks on master ^_^ (lvl 41) | ||

I don't regard Skyrim as having a combat system. You click, the engine crunches some numbers and then you see the outcome; sometimes the game even takes away control from you to show you a cutscene. It's completely rubbish and that's the main reason why I don't bother to raise the difficulty higher than Adept. What little skill requirement and depth exists, it only exists in juggling different magic spells and wards, which is immediately crippled by the horrible interface and is more cumbersome than fun. Unfortunately, that's where most RPG's are headed these days, with possibly the sole exception of Demon's/Dark Souls. Any tactical depth is considered too complex and any reflex/reaction requirement too steep for the average gamer and thus too risky. | ||
