Anyone know how to fix the fact that you look up and down WAY slower than you look left and right?

...So I accidentally caused myself to have infinite mana. Not sure how it happened, was in the heat of a battle with two other mages.

ps. Mage battles are cool.

It's actually really annoying, I don't have to tactfully savour my mana pool any more now, I just blast out fireballs like 1-2-1-2 punches in boxing. It's like cheating, in the exact same form of "Wow, this is SO fun." Then you never pick the game up again. I'm scared.

I think it's for aiming. Very useful.

There should at least be an option to disable it. I turned the look sensitivity up and it's still very difficult to effectively look around.

I guess adjusting the fMouseHeadingSensitivity value in SkyrimPrefs.ini might help, but I haven't actually tried that yet.

Edit: I'm now sure that's just the general sensitivity setting.

Initial thoughts:

Good
Visually stunning
Not generic fantasy feeling like Oblivion
combat less clunky
Leveling system surprisingly not shitty
It's a joy to just travel and watch interactions within the world (like hunter with dogs out hunting wildlife)

Bad
This interface, by the gods why can't I just click instead of scrolling everywhere. This is the one thing that screams console port.
A few crashes.
Horses look cool but are functionally mentally handicapped.
Some deus ex machina and heavily troperific writing - Suddenly WEREWOLVES. Where did that come from?
Voice acting is a mix of immersive Scandinavian/Nordic accents and then AHNOLD.

No karma system from what I've seen, just a like/hate/crime systems thing.

There's never been a Bioware-style karma bar in the Elder Scrolls series...That is what your asking, right?

He probably meant Fallout3-styled karma rating, but no - there isn't.

What a day, head home from work early (yay!) with a bad headache and upset stomach (boo!) and collapse on the bed and sleep until now (instead of skyrim, so while sleep is usually a yay, we'll go with boo). But finally, FINALLY! SKYRIM!!! *retires from life*
