$450 million and counting...I hope that means we can get some support for this game. The UI, as horrible as it is, is broken in a few places and needs to be fixed to make remapping keys less of an obstruction.

Beth gives a decent amount of support in patches to titles as seen in the past. They don't fix everything, but the mod community usually fixes most of the rest. The UI is rarely changed much though by beth, usually the mod community fixes that up to be more appropriate to PC instead of a direct port from console.

It should unlock on selection, but to be fair it does tell you at the bottom that R will unlock it.

Steam almost hit 290k(289k) concurrent users on sunday. Figuring the variety of digital services and all that, PC sales were probably in the 1m range easily.

Except Skyrim requires Steam, so even the 476K people who did buy physical copies will show up on Steam's stats.

Nope. The launcher requires steam, the game itself doesn't. You can fudge down the skyrim stats by simply running the skyrim.exe, it's not encrypted. And doesn't require steam to run.

I have an idea. Quit buying EA games.

I'd call that a fairly nice machine on account of the graphics card.

Well thanks man. Though with the TDR problem I'm getting close to tossing the card up to sell and maybe picking a ATI card. To be honest I lucked out on the card, and picked it up for $169 a few months ago. On sale, with two rebates. It was retailing for $239 at the time.

And it hasn't given me much grief outside of that.

I'm liking the game but I agree with the above. This is not an improvement on previous ES titles UI/menus etc

I dunno, from what I've seen, it's better than Morrowind's.

As great as Morrowind was in some aspects, it's UI was truly awful. It was like some cross between a wannabe IRC client and one of the early MMOs like Asheron's Call.

(I say this as someone that is playing Morrowind GOTY now since my Skyrim copy is MIA. :()

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...

What would make the game feel more alive to me would be bumping into other adventurers on the road. Perhaps they could use this quest system to send off woefully under equipped novice adventurers to their certain doom

I'm sure this is one of the many reasons Bethesda is not willing to make an Elder Scrolls MMO: they don't want the dicks to ruin the experience for the rest of us.

I meant NPC adventurers rather than other players. Yes I can just imagine the joy I would get seeing dozens of ADD lunatics charging everywhere screaming "Me first!", and trampling all over the flora and fauna

Whatever happened to expansion packs? I kind of preferred those to DLC....

“The goal overall is not necessarily to put out more content, but to make the game better."

How it should be.

oh, really? Back in the days this was called (free) "update". So, no, how it should not be. Since DLCs are not free they should come with more content and, only if necessary, fix bugs. THAT's how it should be.
