So has anyone else been playing? I must say that I am very very impressed. Graphics are amazing yet don't make my PC drag and the story line (So far) is griping. I am a bit dissapointed with the game flaws but I am sure they will be fixed in a patch. One for example is when fighting in the areana (not a spoiler... it is not even a quest) I have walked through a wall and fallen through the map. Also I had an "MSN nudge" that made the game freeze. Thank goodness for F5.

What does every one else think about it? And before I have some smart assscreaming pirate I bought mine online from Alienware (as mensioned in another thread).
 
I really want to get this game....

I'm just so scared that it's gonna take up all that little time I have left...

The fact that u say the story line is good, is really good news, I just hate hacking away RPG's

:)

I wish I could say the same thing hehe outside=5-10 fps.
 
Got the Collectors Edition from Canada while back. Loving it and still playing.

Graphics are insane....I still prefer AA + Bloom over HDR though. I guess personal preference...i hate jagged edges.

I will not spoil the game for others...my biggest issue with it though is as James said..Mini bugs and flaws.

It by far has the best Char creator(From your nose hair, eyebrow width to size of your lips) The game is really bugless...only had 2 CTD's....The only flaws i found were sometimes voices of Npc's change accents or when you sit down in an inn the Havok engine FX launches all the items on table like fireworks.

Already started making some mods to enchance ambience...and blood *ahem* ;)
 
lol I just ordered it for my xbox 360, only prob is I somehow ended up with 2 on my invoice :p
 
makes me worry though....Bethedsa left nude female meshes in Game....on purpose for modders to unlock and change into usable topless textures....I can see todd and ESRB...and another Hot Coffee issue coming

Definetly not the same m8.
Rockstar games included a gameplay mode in the game that you could enable to get the mini sex game.

Thumbs up to them for including clotheless textures for their models.
Makes it much easier to modify the models to make me own chars for my mod. Otherwise i'd have to first clear the textures of clothing an then apply my own clothing to it.

All i have to do now is just apply a clothing model that i created on the side.
 
Was hoping the same... Working at the moment on adding more Patrols and ambience...Already added 60 new sounds to atmosphere along to footsteps and inn ambience. With more weather FX...Just to add immersion to it. Which i am REALLY Happy how it is turning out....Nothing to affect ballance.

As for topless textures....adding is proving a real challenge and to edit the models itself (As in bodies and new items)...We need a .nif exporter and Beth has not released one :( So far with Nifskope i am able to view and edit them but not export/import...Really teeth grinding....I really hope someone releases one. Or Beth has mercy and releases one.

I was hoping to add, Tattoos, Full beards etc...but how it is done..it is impossible. The only way i can think of is adding equipable...Tattoos or beards.

The last thing i am adding is Havok FX to live models...(Ok this is not only for females *grin* ) But to help in Combat when recoiling will add better body movements. However someone on Official forums is beating me to this:(
 
my "Black box on table, Shiny Monitor" pwns all, who needs tweaks :p
 
I find this game extremely boring :/
I think Im getting old.

P.S : How do u check how much dmg your weapons do? Or do they all do the same damage?

The dmg your wep does is under the lil sword icon in inventory, The higher, the more dmg.

Also if a wep is badly damaged or not been repaired...it lowers the damage
 
I bought the game and it runs smoothly on my PC. I have everything set to the max with HDR, but like was said, I agree that I also like bloom effect with AA rather than HDR with no AA. Anyways, running on full graphics with 2x AA at 1024x768 the game is very playable even when outside. I am experiencing the mouse lag that most people are complaining about but I understand it can be fixed :)
 
I can not believe that I have had the game now for about 2 weeks and I am only 9 hours into it :(

I just wish every one would leave me alone, family members would stop getting married and steep work loads will PO so I can sit down and play my game... Is that too much to ask for?

I honestly feel your pain buddy.
 
lol - that's why I only go to bed at 02:00 in the mornings. sometimes you have to MAKE time for stuff dude :)
 
I made the mistake, after a long days work on monday to install the game. I started playing at 9:30 pm. I only realized what the time was at 4 am. And I had to get up at 6 am to go to work again! :p

Very addictive
 
guilty as charged!!

Went to bed at 3:00am this morning. I must concentrate not to think about the game at work... oops failed.
