STOP, CRIMINAL SCUM!

I'm remembering this specific event very vividly - it was a quest with the Dark Brotherhood or whatever they're called and you have to assassinate some dude. He's lying asleep, alone, in his bed in an apartment on a completely empty floor. If you took him out there a guard would spawn in one of the adjacent empty rooms, burst out and arrest you. Ugh.

I took out a contract with a guard standing next to me. He was too busy looking the other way, when he turned back the dude was dead with an arrow between his eyes. I just walked off.

Anyone know how to yield if you hit someone you don't want to fight?

Also, what's the button for physics-ing objects?

Sheathe your weapons. If they like you enough, they'll stop attacking.

For me, physics-ing is the same button as picking them up, but held down rather than pressed. I'm playing on PS3, though.

I keep trying to resist reading this thread as I don't want anything spoilt.  I fail, keep refreshing the page when I have a spare minute or 2....

  I am happy that nothing spoiling the game has been posted though so it's good.  Somehow able to avoid looking in most of th spoilers on here. 

Gah waiting is so nasty, especially when you know your computer can handle the game on high specs and really need to see the beauty that it will be.

Actually, the game is really quite undemanding. But it does look really pretty. I mean, sure, the textures aren't the best but it still is very pretty I found.

How block with Dual blades? Manual covers everything for blocking, and everything for everything combat-related, except dual blades. >_>

What do you mean with "undemanding"?

Azkanan, there isn't any way to block with dual-weapons that I've found. In fact, using anything other than a sheild in the other hand doesn't allow you to block.  Annoying, that. Still, dual-swords are best used for daggars and the like.

The inability to block is the downside of dual wielding. Stupid, I know, but that is the reasoning.

My new-ish $550 AMD A8 laptop with a ati 6750M/6620G runs Skyrim on medium.

Let me reiterate that, a $550 laptop that runs Skyrim.

Meh. A 120$ console can do that too.

While looking at the General Stats tab, I can't help but chuckle. The last stat: "Bunnies Slaughtered." I've only got two so far. It may be overkill, but there's something satisfying about power attacking bunnies with warhammers.
