Is Skyrim worth upgrading my PC?

If she does, she's keeping them from me.

Nice video, Baraka. Thanks.

 

Amen! I hear you. I used to drool watching G4TV when they would have on hot geeky gamer girls and the techy girls, till DirecTv pulled the channel.
I don't get to see a lot of geeky girls these days (except YouTube) because of so-called beautiful women such as the Kardashians and the cookie cutter Playboy clones.

 

Can you imagine listening to this for ten hours straight?

You'd either go crazy and start swinging at dragons, or quit gaming for good.

 

Yes, I like gravedigging.

Also, anyone still playing Skyrim? Was watching Game of Thrones (S2) again last night and watching the Hound cleave a couple poor sods in half made me want to continue with my 2h sword-wielding evil Khajiit.

Right, off to play.

 

Huh, already? But only for the 360 so far, right? They said the Xbox would get the first DLC a month before the PS and PC..

 

At least us PC users get the official High Res texture pack! Downloading it now; excited to see the difference. I already have a few graphics mods, but nothing as substantial (the high res pack is a whopping 3 gig download).

Cool, are you using any mods (if you're playing on the PC that is)?

 

I have a good surround system on my PC, and 3 monitors, one of which is a TV. Combine that with my 360 controller and I can sit in the couch as well, hehe. Some games do fit better on certain consoles, but I think Skyrim is much better with a mouse. The game is great no matter how you play it though.

As for mods, I'm pretty much only using ones who change the graphics. Don't often get into the quest mods and whatnot, as the original gameplay itself is usually good enough.

Might want to check out Dawnguard; it looks like a decent sized DLC worth the purchase (once it actually becomes available to us non-360 folk).

 

i got up to ~14 and stopped. it was just too overwhelming. i felt like i had to comb over every nook and cranny of the game and stash any mats i might need later and ended up with a room full of crap i dropped on the ground.

 

hmm ok. maybe i'll give that a go. i've tried that before in other games though and i end up hitting a difficulty wall because i didn't do any side quests and i'm stuck in a cave getting killed on my latest save.

 

I've been consistently playing it. I've now completed the Dragonborne quest, and as far as I can tell, have to finally make some choice of sides regarding the civil war. For now, I've joined the Companions, though I've been reluctant to, because I don't particularly enjoy question without Lydia. She and I are now married, and it just doesn't feel right unless she's there.

Dawnguard, I'm looking forward to, but again, I'm bothered that I might not be able to have Lydia by my side. Sad puppy I may be, but she and I have been together longer than some of my RL relationships!

Only mods I've used are the graphic body, face and eyes enhancements, the real-stars, and the Lydia does NOT die.

My self-limiting consists of not using arrows above orcish, and not using block in melee with sword. This is to balance the fact that my stealth is so good that I have to be very clumsy indeed for enemies to see me.

Now, I'm off to have a look at what this Mirror's Edge is about
