OFFICIAL Elder Scrolls V : Skyrim (Discussion)

it just goes to show that given time modders will fix what bethesda is unwilling to, it just takes them god damn forever to do hahaha.

sadly im still without proper crossfire support do to 4gb mod, oh well, once 1.2 patch gets its drm removed ill test the un encumbered version out and see what the difference is.

It also appears 1.2 patch breaks more things then it fixes from spells, to Dragons it has some serious bugs. that are worse then the ones they fixed.

(sigh) I had to close Steam to get this page to load.

i'm paying $20 per GB atm, until they connect my real interwebs.

i nearly shat myself when i saw steam downloading, at least it wasnt a large patch.

usually you will get 30% of the value so 3000 value = 300 gold lol. okay its not that bad but you get the idea, speechcraft and other factors play into it,

I use Dibella's shrine + amulet of Dibella + mask of clavicus vile to get + 35 to speechcraft on top of 20% better prices, helps a bunch when trying to make large sums of gold.

Without a doubt I get a much better exchange rate than that and I don't use any of those enchants because if i did it would bring the value of my items up even higher and I already can't sell them at the SELL price because the vendor can't afford it. :laugh:

And I thought New Zealand had some steep prices for internet data.
Are you WCDMA at the moment?

Like a Vodem or a T-Stick?

Seems the controls for mouse and keyboard have somewhat been refined which is a good thing.

Kreij · Dec 1, 2011

Now you know why I ask people to put screenshots in spoiler quotes.
They still load in the background, but I get the rest of the text so I can at least view the thread. lol

I probably hit my (rolling) monthly cap and will have a crap connection for weeks. Oh well, I guess I'll just troll threads here.

then get married, your spouse will open a store, said spouse gold is far higher then regular shops

In game my wife Mjoll the Lioness, has 3900 gold currently waited a few in game days she sold stuff i sold to her shes now up to 5000 gold give or take.

UMTS, but yeah 3G mobile broadband from a mobile network. they havent even got my phone line connected, so i'm stuck with it.

And by the way; Where in the hell can I sell stuff where a vendor has 1000's of coin? Every single vendor I find has at most 750$ and I have loads of stuff valued at over 3000$ each. I'm just hoarding the stuff because I refuse to sell it for pennies.

Where can I go to sell big ticket items???

Here is my new Youtube video so you can sell your stuff for more money.

ViperXTR · Dec 1, 2011

wot be patching the game for now hehe (offline mode) with all these new problems (i hear flame atronachs die with fire now? XD). LAA seems to be giving me more trouble than improvement in my case so i just reverted back to the original one (i see no real improvement anyway since i don't use any mod that requires huge amount of memory)

Thanks for that, zscreen does not work. It's like Skyrim intercepts all input for whatever reason.

And wow crazyeyesreaper, those screenies make me want to play morrowind...

TPU tool for screenies also doesn't work with Skyrim...

Frizz · Dec 1, 2011

Is anyone able to give me their version number for their launcher and exe? I am not sure if mine updated as I have to do mine via VPN.. but I used my VPN and steam just goes straight to the Skyrim launcher.

My current versions:

Launcher: 1.2.14.0
TESV.exe: 1.2.12.0

crazyeyesreaper · Dec 1, 2011

yea yours updated. lol

Mussels · Dec 1, 2011

yep just checked mine, those are the updated numbers.

time to try without the 4GB patch and see how crashy it is.

Yeah apparently all resistances are totally effed by the patch. Ugh Bethesda. So this is things like resistance to magic, frost etc. incl on enchanted items. Perhaps even soul trapping too but haven't seen mention.

Guess gonna start up Steam offline too as can't remember if turned off auto. But even so...

Edit: Oh wait there's apparently more:

IF YOU ARE PC, DON'T INSTALL PATCH!!

Disable steam and set to 'never update'. Try to play in offline if you can. Use TESV.exe from disk if you still have it (no drm)

At the very least, BACK UP YOUR SAVED GAMES BEFORE INSTALLING

Contains crashes when you fight frost or fire dragons and have racial frost/fire resistance! (ie. nord verus ice dragon)

Resistances broken against other fellows

Dragon AI broken/flight path

Saves (on 1.2) get corrupt and crash game when you try to load them.

Hmm corrupted saves too? My hunch is that may not be across the board but backing them up before a patch is a general good practice anyway.

Edit 2: Now seeing reports that disabling auto-update still updates it. Need to be in Offline mode.

Great... more problems to look forward to. -__-

ViperXTR · Dec 1, 2011

wow, did they updated it to become a beta build? XD

oh wait, since dragons are resistive to soul traps and the patch broke some resistance? can you soul trap a dragon now along absorbing its soul? XD

Frizz · Dec 1, 2011

Hmm I randomly found a ring of extreme archery and peerless illusion in my inventory, not sure how it got there as I am way too low level to find those kinds of items (level 13 atm)

crazyeyesreaper · Dec 1, 2011

lolz so glad i ripped Bethesoft a new one via techsupport phone call, now i get to look forward to there supervisors response and ask them if they even know what there doing over there... Im gonna have so much fun making said supervisor despise my very existence.

Widjaja · Dec 1, 2011

This is terrible.
Although I would like to see the dragons flying backwards....

they already need to come out with the next generation of consoles so that we do not have to deal with this DX 9 BS anymore.

My shadows look like garbage in this game.

assuming you have a 1gb card go to you're skyrimprefs.ini and change these settings

iShadowMapResolution=
Set that to 4096

And change
iBlurDeferredShadowMask=
to 32

Looks a lot better IMO, makes the shadows a lot softer round the edges rather than have GLARING pixel edges :laugh:

FPS hit 1-2 fps with my rig in specs ( cept phenom II 720 @ 3.64 instead)

ViperXTR · Dec 1, 2011

i heard they took down the 1.2 patch? is this true?

Wrigleyvillain · Dec 1, 2011

Can't find confirmation but I figured they would so...

I'm still starting up offline for the first time today here in a few.

I wouldn't be surprised after googling to see whats been said about it.

Wrigleyvillain · Dec 1, 2011

Exactly. Ah screw offline mode I'm just gonna launch it in hopes it's been pulled. If not I have a backup of my game folder.

Edit: Damnit, not pulled. Paused before it finished d/l. And ya I had it to not update wtf Steam...

I was unable to play in Offline mode. Let it update then replaced whole Skyrim folder from backup.
