With all the recent talk of video games on NSG there has been one big one left out. Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. This game is looks wayyyy to fun. Really looking forward to slayin' some dragons!

... not to mention the ultimate hyphy game!

Yeah, but all MMOs kind of look like WoW now, its definitely set some standards for MMOs.

Super stoked for this game though.
I remember after Oblivion came out there were rumours of an elder scrolls MMO in development, but it got written off as wishful thinking. Blew my mind when they announced it. Super stoked for that game, they have their work cut out topping skyrim though. Bethesda tends to make ridiculously high quality games though, so I will remain optimistic.

NMM has been having a lot of recent trouble lately with server load. A lot of the fault does lie on NMM's side. However, to be fair, they've been experiencing abnormally large server loads, due to the steam sale.

On a side note, does anyone know a good screen capturing software that? I'm using fraps, but it's reducing the quality of each screens so much, I can no longer stand it

i really need to get back into some potion making, im at level 86 alchemy and i can easily power through to 100 but it gets pretty tedious after a while, and finding the right ingredients can take a while. its also so fucking annoying how any potions i make are worth like 3x the money that any merchant has. i could make $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ just by selling some of them but that would take forever for the merchants to refresh their money -____-

yeah i checked earlier, that perk only gives merchants an extra 1000 gold, which is useless when some of my potions go for 4000+ haha

Mods you should play...


Falskaar. Its basically a giant expansion, but is still very vanilla and believable.

Interesting NPC's - Adds more interesting NPCs, but also a ton of quests and items. Still very much in the flavor of Skyrim stock.

If you want more crazy shit, there has been some pretty insane Zelda, pokemon, and Minecraft mods. Its fucking awesome how open Bethesda is to modding the shit out of their game. They even tell you how to get started.

Im currently working on a return of the dwemer mod that is hopefully dope as fuck.

pretty sure it works on pc too. basically, enchant some fortify alchemy armour (as much as possible), make a fortify restoration potion while wearing it all, drink it, quickly unequip then re-equip the armour, make another potion, drink it, unequip then re-equip your armour, repeat as many times as you want. then once you've done it a few times, instead of a restoration potion make some fortify enchantment/ smithing potions and you're set. there's youtube tutorials on it

Anyone else here torrent it for PC? How would i go about updating DLC content and mods and such, I had it for 360 and i've been playing it on PC for a while now but never really knew about mods or anything and figured updating would fuck it up or something.

DLCS.....well I suppose you could just torrent those too

For modding....you can install them in a multitude of ways. However, for beginners I'd recommend installing from http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/modmanager/? and then installing a few mods or something from http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/top/?

no new lands, i fucking wish but that is a whole level above whhere i'm at.

It will start as a quest into a specific ruin, where some lore-friendly shit happens and the dwemer start to return from oblivion. I have it planned as about 6-8 quests to continue earning new shit. Also some new dwemer clothes/armor/spells/weapons. I'm doing it with one other person.

Ha! That might mean you're damage is so high that its producing an integer overflow. Which is possible considering Skyrim is a 32 bit game

Started playing again. Rediscovered modding. The game is way more fresh with Master Chief as a follower, Macho Man Randy Savage as all the dragons, and upwards of a dozen new well-made towns and cities placed across the map.

Just made a new dark elf character a few weeks ago. Already level 62 and it's going well. My armor perks make it so that master level spells don't cost any mana.
