anyone trying archer builds? Im playing a night elf, and I was thinking about a sneaky mage/archer. So far I been mostly saving my perk points until i decide.

Can you enchant arrows? Or is it alchemy only for arrows? Do you enchant the bow?

Is a sneaky archer fun or will the enemies just run up? I guess I can always do destruction magic and use my 1-hander to finish things.

I'm doing archery in the very rare times I sneak up on somebody.

Otherwise it's SWORD TO THE GUT

I could watch it over and over...

My first encounter with a giant ended up with me being launched into the air. I did not get to find out if Khajiit always land on their feet.

I am now picturing a man showing up at a river, giving a nod to the anglers set up with rods and nets, then SCREAMING INCOHERENTLY AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS from the bank.

So my graphics card isn't all that great, but it still holds up with most newer games. I can run Skyrim on Medium and increase a lot of the fade distances without any major performance issues. However, no matter how low I turn the settings, the game constantly freezes up when I'm out exploring. If I'm riding in one direction on a horse it'll pause every 5 seconds (for about 5 more seconds) and then resume. It's unbearable. Any ideas? I'm using an Nvidia geforce 8600gt.

I like the city of Markarth It is the most Dwarfy - probably because it sits on the ruins of a Dwemer town. Huge stone carved chambers and the remains of dwemer machinery, laying dormant. Very nice. Sadly, very little Magma

The fact that it's running at all with an 8600GT is pretty god damn impressive. That card is over 4 years old, and was a 'budget' gaming card when it came out.

Out of curiosity though - what are your system specs? Mainly curious about CPU/RAM.

However, if you want to keep running it smoothly, I'd drop down from Medium settings to Low. I'm still surprised it's running on that GPU at all!

So, I just checked the time. 5.30am. THE HELL? DAMN YOU SKYRIM!

How much RAM do you have? Skyrim uses the same grid/cell caching techniques as Oblivion, meaning cells are almost constantly being loading in the background as you move about the exterior world. If it happens only when you're traveling outdoors and regardless of graphical settings, I'd wager you don't have enough RAM to keep up.

Also, there were cell tweaks for Oblivion which greatly reduced the stuttering that occurs on some PC's when you transition cells. Might be worth checking if you can find similar tweaks for Skyrim.

How to steal without using any exploits whatsoever, honest guv'nor.

Laughed my ass off and convinced me to buy in one go, assuming that's not edited.

Yeah I'm amazed at the games I can run. As far as I know, I've been able to run every game released so far (other than those that require direct x10, still using XP). I'm using an Intel Pentium Dual CPU E2200 with 2.99GB of RAM.

2.99GB of ram. I don't think my motherboard supports the 4GB I currently have inserted, which is a shame, because it constantly reminds me of the awful truth that I need to upgrade practically everything. I'll have to check on those tweaks, thanks.

Giant at level 3. Fuck yes. Ded mc deaded deadington.

Only played like 3 and a half hours and I already am liking this more than any other Bethesda game I've played yet. I completely and totally recommend it if you're on the fence.

It's more likely your OS that isn't supporting it. You running XP 32, Vista 32, or Windows 7 32?

If you're running 64 bit.. crap, that's a surprise.
