I'll have to pick that one up on the last day. My Steam sale rule of thumb is that if it's 75%+ off or under $5 I'll buy it for later, though that's a large part of the reason why my Steam library just continues to grow.
I'm hoping Hard Reset will get a daily sale--I had a lot of fun with the demo and it would make for a good diversion from Skyrim (while I wait for the tactical light in BF3 to finally get turned down). Wasn't hard reset 75% on the FIRST day:??
I know SOMETIMES they do all of the sales over on the LAST day.....who knows. Unless I missed a day, no, I'm pretty sure it hasn't had a daily sale yet. Does anyone know of a way (or website) to track the old sales? I'm gonna try lookin' through Blue's sales listing, but I'm hoping for something a bit easier to wade through. |

Dead Island and Deus Ex at $25, but Space Marine at $33.5 seemed so odd to me...
-Alamar All of those games are on my list, but with the number of games I have right now I'll wait until they all hit better (75%+) sales before I pick them up. There are just too many good games this year. It doesn't help that Skryim is taking up every minute of gametime I have, either. |

Steam removes linked credit card information when a user changes his password. I did not know that. It certainly explains it, since I changed my password after the forum hack, even though I don't use their forums. It's actually a good security measure, now that I think about it. |

Ditto here with no crashes. 30+ hours here with no crashes, though my framerate will occasionally tank for very brief periods with no clear reason why. This is on a 5850, but I'm not even certain it's a video related issue. |

Clearly, I'm an idiot. The shouts don't unlock on selection with the mouse, but the information on how to unlock them is given. Thank you for pointing out that I've spent over 30 hours of time in Skyrim with an IQ that rivals a cabbage. |

I've actually been pretty lucky with loot, scrolls in particular keep coming up big for me. Anything enchanted I tear apart if I can't use it, and all crafting materials get sold. That's the nice thing about being a mage focusing on enchanting--you don't carry around very much. I've only got about 50lbs of gear on me when I've cleaned out my inventory.

| I'm on a 5850, and the one thing I am getting is massive framerate drops on occasion. I'll be running around and suddenly I'll go from a solid 60fps to 4, then after 10-60 seconds it recovers. I've yet to be able to figure out why, but it's annoying. Other than that the game is rock solid; it ran through a 6 hours marathon without a hitch. |

Mashiki Amiketo wrote on Nov 12, 2011, 20:33: have killed two dragons in total, wandered around a bit, and have played nearly 16hrs so far. And I'm only level 5...ah yeah. Really? You can kill dragons at level 5? That's a bit disappointing. It depends. There are standard, unnamed, dragons that are pretty easy to kill. Some of the named ones are quite a bit more difficult. What I don't like about them is they rely almost entirely on their breaths, once they land they stop attacking entirely and give you some free hits before taking off again. Would be nice to see them engage in ground/melee combat to make them even more of a challenge. The one that killed my mount was chewing on my horses' head between flame blasts. It looked like a rather deadly combination.
I've also seen a dragon attack a small village, and all the villagers start attacking and chasing the dragon. Suicidal group, those poor villagers. They did soften up the beastie rather nicely, though. |

Heck, I still don't have a horse. I'd rather run around seeing everything I can, not to mention saving the 1000 gold since I apparently need to buy every spell I see.
This game is amazing though. I just fought off a few wolves (easy) only just as I finished electrocuting the last wolf two dragons dropped onto my head. Needless to say, it did not go well for me. After the reload I decided to jump off the nearby waterfall, only to have it wash my into a small village. Right now I'd say Skyrim is tied with Portal 2 for my GotY vote. |

Hell, it's hard to hunt anyway untill I get my stealth up. Those elk just take off so fast from so far away. So far I've rolled a destruction mage and a sword and board warrior, but in both cases I find myself preferring to stealth and use a bow. I'm probably going to roll another character after work with a sneak/archery focus, and then try to stick with one character for a bit. |

wtf_man wrote on Nov 11, 2011, 13:53: Loving the game so far... didn't expect an epic sized dungeon on my first side quest (Trader at Riverwood)... I've literally spent 4 hours from beginning through first side quest... and obviously I've barely scratch the surface of the game.
The UI is a little weird on the PC, but other than that... no complaints, no crashes, no glitches (well other than accidentally kicking objects, like skeleton rib cages).
Well... back to the game! Yeah, that Riverwood Trader side quest is a great introduction to the game. It's also not 100% scripted, as I ran through it with two characters and encountered different undead enemies. |

Kastagir wrote on Nov 11, 2011, 01:29: Has anyone been able to rotate items in your inventory when using the mouse+keyboard? I can't seem to figure out how to do this on the PC. Is a controller actually required for this? That would be crazy. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's hold RMB and rotate. I'd jump back in to double-check, but then it'll be sunrise...
Having a blast so far. Almost no technical issues, and no problem with key strangeness. I loot all, and my viewpoint is fine. The only problem I've noticed is some weird framerate crashes when I hit the map (either going to or coming out of) that corrects itself after a few seconds. It's random, and not really a big deal--because I don't need directions.
While the UI isn't great, it's not horrible either. I'm willing to put up with it. Now I just need to start a new character, because it's clear that a High Elf Mage is not my preferred play style right now. |

Honestly, the more I use Battlelog the more I like it. If they gave me the ability to set up loadouts (and make presets) in Battlelog I'd be in heaven. That's a great idea Bucky, I really wish they would implement it. That big GIF of UI improvements that someone put together would be nice too. My biggest hope is for some balance changes to things like IRNV, the mobile AA and so on. Most importantly, the game needs at least squad-level VoIP without making "parties" in battlelog. The game simply moves too quickly to type things out and it would go a long way towards improving the quality of play on most servers. An update for Battlelog just went out, and apparently they've got a forum for suggestions. One of the top ideas is what I just suggested, so I've gotta go there and throw my support behind it now.
