I just installed nVidiaInspector but there's no Skyrim profile to be found. Not much difference between AO on or off anyway.
You can turn on landscape self-shadowing along with tree shadows in the ini file, which gives AO-like depth to the image and looks great. |

Yeah. Taking a break for food. Looking for something to watch while I eat.
Then back to Skyrim.
Same here... watching a giantbomb video while I eat dinner, then back to Skyrim. Amazing game.
240,000 at once today means MASSIVE PC sales. Good! |

Played another couple hours. Having a really hard time getting the mouse right but I think I got it now. V-synch forced on, shadows on high rather than ultra, mouse tweaked in ini file to remove smoothing and up sensitivity.
Anyway, I noticed a ton of old engine issues are still there. For example an enemy spawned in so far away that a story segment with him was missed because he was dead before I got there. That used to happen in previous Bethesda games too. Also the LOD pop-in is still pretty obvious when you're in a big flat area.
Loving the game though. It looks wonderful, the UI is fine if you can use a keyboard and mouse at the same time, the visual design is a million times more interesting than Oblivion's and the writing is much improved as well.
Happy. |

Ill be playing on a 55" TV. Have fun!
My 30" monitor is bigger than your TV due to how close I sit to it. Also no crashes at all, some forum complaints do not equal an epidemic.
Bethesda games are really not the ones you want to use as examples of "better on console" at all. Quite silly. The graphics differences are quite significant and mods will be amazing. |

No crashes or issues at all here. Game works quite well and with a higher FOV it looks pretty damn good as well.
The UI is definitely a straight console port, but honestly I think it works pretty well. Since it was designed around four points of a stick it also feels designed around WASD. It's quick and easy to access and control for the most part, only the level-up menu felt cumbersome to me.
The game so far seems much better than Oblivion already, but I'm still very early on. |

My first character will be a ranger / mage / rogue type character (in that order). I love using bows in these games and I enjoy the stealth element as well; I'm thinking of starting off as a Khajit - any thoughts?
Khajit are still built to be rogues so it's a good choice. They don't have any magic bonuses at all but you can focus on one or two and build them up quickly. |

Breton or Altmer. It's generally accepted they're the best pool mages, dunmer(dark elf), for going specialized with destruction and all that though. Though I have no idea how much has changed with skyrim.
They did do some significant changes to the races in Skyrim. Dunmer no longer have blade bonuses, for example, which completely messes with my usual archetype of a Dunmer swords + destruction magic light armor assassin. |

Except for those people that use the same password for Steam as their email. Which, unfortunately, I'm sure exist.
I use the same password for forums and sites like this, but everything important has a unique one. You're right though, most wouldn't bother. |

I had a suspicion that this may have gone beyond just the forums, so I changed the security credentials on all of the Steam accounts in my household (4) as soon as word of this got out. Glad I did now.
If you have Steamguard they literally couldn't do anything with your account even if they can crack the encryption on the passwords. |

Giantbomb is generally godawful at videogames and makes for terrible viewing unless you buy into their personalities or whatever. They are grinders, I'd rather read a review from someone I know is remotely competent at playing videogames.
The funny part is that they admit they suck at playing games, but insist that doesn't matter for the purposes of critique. I disagree completely. |

Yeah I'd probably pick it up if it was.
Why not get them on GOG? |

| Tried this for the heck of it despite owning DR2. It was a much improved experience from the last time I tried it, when they just started. That said it's still no way to play a game, IMO. |

Wow, that's cheaper than GoG.
GOG had a massive sale on all of them recently though. I got every D&D game on there for like $25.
This is nice though, for sure. I hope GOG gets NWN2 soon. |

Nah you're misreading that, people know why they do it, they just don't like it and the somewhat alarming precedent it sets.
I've seen both, that and genuine befuddlement over why they charge for maps. In any event the point remains the same, when that many people want something it would be insane to deny them. |

Didn't play Black Ops, but anyone that says their first play through of MW2 was less than 7 hours had to have played on easy.
Not that 7 is much better.
Veteran, 5 hours. Same with Black Ops, same with World at War. The original Modern Warfare might have been a little longer. |

They sent PC magazines and websites the 360 version for review according to twitter comments, which is amusing.
This is the first COD I did not buy day one. Finally bored of the campaign style to the point I can't pay $60 for it. For the record I'm not a big fan of the scripted style, but COD did it so well it was enjoyable anyway. It's finally worn off though. Will get this when it's $20. |
