My recommendation is to kill every bunny you see.

Lolol. Idk if anyone else has noticed this, but there is a bunny's killed counter in the stats section of the menu.

My other recommendation is to finish the main story line before getting too sidetracked with other quests. Because it really is quite epic.
I have over 300 hours in but I haven't played in a while. I'm still waiting for the DLC to go on sale again, lol...

Jaffakeik · Jun 4, 2013

I fucked up skyrim, couple months ago attacked some quest guy,accidently and couldnt start over because autosave was already after attacking that guy,and last save was like 2h ago.SO i jsut deleted game,but thinking to start over some time

Irony · Jun 4, 2013

Lol. I've gotten mad and deleted it before for things like screwed up textures I couldn't fix. But not for a quest bug I don't think lol

on PC you can use the console command 'cheat' codes to fix things like that. making them not hostile, for example.

hell most of the time if you sheathe your sword and hit E on a hostile quest giver, they go back to neutral.

lol, I have already shot quite a few. Bow Hunting is fun.

rtwjunkie · Jun 4, 2013

Gotta love the deer hunting too! I'll go out for hours just hunting in the game. Have you listened to the sound of the deer as it gets shot? They really went into detail.

Athlonite · Jun 4, 2013

don't take on to many jobs/missions at once you'll end up confuzzled until your used to the game

RevengE · Jun 5, 2013

Yeah I am noticing that there is so much to do that I have no idea what is going on haha. Really cool game so far.

Irony · Jun 5, 2013

The first thing I did when I got out of helgen was run straight to whiterun, (it was dark and after a long time running It was the first town I found) and went inside, then broke into someones house and took a bag of gold. Then guards came in and tryed to kill me, then I left the house and they still tried to kill me; so I managed to find the gate in the dark and they came outside town and chased all the way to some fort that had a bunch of ice mages. I died. Eventually I got away but all the guards and even regular people tried to kill me everywhere, so I had to restart. Lesson learned: dont steal stuff from people in the middle of the night lol.

RevengE · Jun 6, 2013

Ahhzz · Jun 6, 2013

Hey BP, did you ever get one of the guides? The legendary version is out, and Amazon has it for $33, FSS.

Looks sharp, but I think I'll pass on it. The first one has enough enough for me to manage, and I run so many mods, there's no point in trying to get a guide to cover everything not in the Vanilla.

No, the real lesson is don't let anyone see you stealing stuff or breaking and entering at night. :toast:

Irony · Jun 6, 2013

Put a bucket over their head, then you're good

techtard · Jun 8, 2013

The bucket banditry was revolutionary when it was first discovered.

Irony · Jun 8, 2013

I read about it in a review, and I was like nah, that can't possibly be in the game. And then I tried it, and it actually worked! it was so awesome. I keep at least one bucket with me at all times, lol.

Black Panther · Jul 2, 2013

I had done a fresh Windows install a couple of months back, so now I'm re-installing Skyrim (I missed it!).

Is it confirmed that this below is still the HD pack to have? Or has some better mod been released?

Athlonite said:
I would agree there's a very nicely re-done HD pack where the guy took the Bethesda released HD pack and redid all of the textures which although quite large looks bleedin amazing it available on the nexus from here http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/607

and just a quick compare non HD to his HD

That one yes.

I recommend using Texture Pack Combiner if you don't already have it.

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/20801/?

It takes a while to set it up but it's worth it.

I use it as a base and then add some new textures on top of it :toast:

Beware, choosing all high resolution textures coupled with 8X AA and 2560x1600 makes for a VRAM hungry experience...

I laughed so much at your comment, thank you. :toast:

But the bucket thing is epic fail on the programmer part.

Everyone already knows about the VRAM issue try running alot of mods / ENB / etc along with UGRID changes at 1920x1080 I am able to fill a 2gb VRAM buffer to the point a GTX 670 drops to 1FPS even then average frame rates on cards with larger buffer is barely 30 fps lol.

radrok · Jul 3, 2013

Yeah it also becomes very unstable esp with ugrids=9

I'm surprised by SLI scaling in this game though, crossfire was a mess on the other hand.

crazyeyesreaper · Jul 3, 2013

meh i have Ugrid 11 stable no problem, its a weird feature it definitely acts differently from system to system

Ugrid 9 I have 0 crashes
Ugrid 11 I have crashes maybe once every 6-7 hours
Ugrid 13 = crash instantly

radrok · Jul 3, 2013

How much AA are you running? Could it be I tweaked shadow values too much?

crazyeyesreaper · Jul 3, 2013

I run 0 normall AA due to ENB to improve certain shadows and improve lighting to more realistic levels.

I run SMAA injector in conjunction with ENB it gives better Anti Aliasing results than the built in post process AA in ENB, and fills the void that ENB causes since regular MSAA causing rendering artifacts with it in many cases. Using NVIDIA I force Ambient Occlusion through the driver panel, with my shadows set at 8192.

Mostly it comes down to fast transfer speeds aka SSD + large Vram buffer to keep things stable.

radrok · Jul 3, 2013

I'll probably need to find a lighter AA because as soon as i launch the game the VRAM skyrockets to 4-5 GB.

Thanks.

Which ENB are you using? I'm using unbleak.
