I haven't played it either all month.

Instead, I'm playing Oblivion with FCOM and Deadly Reflex instead since I am a nub and didn't get into the Elder Scrolls series until Skyrim. 120+ hours into Oblivion already. That's over 330 hours between Skyrim and Oblivion, good god.

I started with Morrowind.
Good old times..

[Leatra]

I didn't play it for a long time too. Waiting for CK.

Believe it or not, I'm still playing Morrowind.

[The Darkling Wolf]

I started with Arena, still play it and Daggerfall regularly. Those games were packed with win.

WINNER!

But before we get into that competition of who got into the series first Have you people who haven't played for a month suffered withdrawal symptoms yet?

Kinda sad really, at the moment i feel like most enemies have ridiculous amounts of health for my dwarven sword (skill 50) and 8dmg/sec destruction spells (30-ish).

Well there's your problem. This is the first tier of spell and is the weakest. You gotta upgrade. There is a mod out there that scales damage done with spells to your destruction skill, but for vanilla you gotta upgrade to thunderbold(And Ice Spike because it's hilarious). Eventually you'll get Firestorm. And buddy, Firestorm is nothing to underestimate.

I also already have a sorta limitation on my current character, even if it's an incredibly basic premise.

Code: [Select]

Race: Redguard
Main Weapon: Scimitar
Secondary Weapon: Scimitar, daggers(This enemy is below using the scimitars)
Main Skills (3):One-handed, Archery, Sneak

Secondary Goal: Help out any small villages he comes across
Taboo:Use Scimitars only, must wear Hammerfell Garb and Hammerfell Headdress, primarily use Elemental Fury shout as opposed to direct effect shouts and no werewolf form.

Actually, this thread is the only thing that keeps reminding me that there is a game called Sykrim

[forsaken1111]

My current self-imposed challenge is a Kajiit outcast.

The main restrictions:

1. May only enter cities at night.
2. May not use merchants or shopkeepers of any type, including fences. No selling or buying of items ever unless specifically required by a quest.
3. May only use items which are stolen or found on dead bodies.
4. No crafting of any type, including alchemy/enchanting.

It makes the game fairly interesting. Suddenly I don't care about all the gold rings and random junk in the dungeons unless it is better than my current equipment. I will pickpocket people but only if they have something I want, such as a magic ring or amulet or better weapon. I get arrows by picking the pockets of guards, for example. I can use the armor given to me for joining a faction, and steal some potions from them. It becomes very important to break into alchemists shops and other places with potions on display.

FCOM-Oblivion+Deadly Reflex actually plays better than Skyrim in my opinion. So no.

...weren't we promised something like dynamic snow and stuff? Is that actually in the game?

[Duke 2.0]

 I don't remember stuff like that, unless you mean weather traveling across the landscape. In which case I guess? The environmental effects look really good and each area generally keeps to its theme. I think the only times players take note of the weather is using weather-influencing powers, and I think those don't use that system.

[forsaken1111]

You will have occasional snowstorms which make it hard to see but I haven't noticed much in the way of dynamic weather.

[Rex_Nex]

I mean snow actually being something that collects during snow storms, can be anywhere according to the weather, etc. Search "Skyrim dynamic snow" on google and you will see a bunch of old reports of it being in skyrim.

Well... its not. And I really don't see any reason for it to be, honestly. It would be pretty and all but what, are we going to have to shovel snow off our lawn after 100+ hours of play? Why would you waste that many processing resources on a feature with little to no game impact?

Now if they had a survival system in the game which tracked temperature and snowfall and you had to worry about being caught in blizzards that would be different.

Ahh, but you see, temperature and survival requirements are the hallmarks of games with depth and the effort included to realize those aims. Not necessary in a hack 'n' slash, obviously. I don't doubt that they DID make such silly claims as 'Dynamic snow' since Bethesda has a way of using words like 'Dynamic' to describe completely mundane and uninteresting things, such as their A[un]I.

Damn it. After moving my Steam folder to another Drive I had to redownload it. Now all my settings are reset. What were the first thing which fixes the quality levels, I could set it as Ultra graphics before now I can't...
