Skyrim: kicking dragon ass

You boys and your toys… I don’t know

Oh, anyone could enjoy Skyrim if they gave it a try.

I’m sure they could, but I gave up playing games circa 1998 / a long time ago…

So Whats your favorite Race to use in the Game Calrid?

Graphics Card Hierachy

I’m thinking about going with a GTX 560 (possibly a 560 Ti) when I build a new computer this year. I’ve never really had a decent graphics card. But then I’ve been all about console gaming until recently. I’m using a Mobility Radeon 4670 that came stock with my laptop…I’m just glad Skyrim was playable for me at all. I had go down to medium settings without any AA.

Summer’s coming. I usually buy a game to play. Skyrim or Witcher 2…?

Oh God… I really want to buy the Witcher 2 but i’m broke.

I’ve only played Skyrim, the hell out of it too, but from what I hear Witcher 2 is an excellent game as well. Sounds like Skyrim gives you a more open world with more freedom and tons of things to do whereas Witcher 2 gives you a tighter story and more tailored quests. They’re probably both awesome RPGs. Go with your first instinct, I’d say. Whatever appealed to you first.

Exactely

Yep

Probably Witcher then, I played elder scrolls oblivion with the expansion packs and found it just too damn big, I ended up getting kinda lost and bored. I like my fun to have some direction.

So what’d you get?

Nothing yet. Damn Witcher won’t run on my system - GeForce 9500 aint up to the job apparently. Skyrim will work fine, but damnit, my conscience is twitching. If I buy the damn thing I know I’ll get addicted and start routinely ignoring the kids, staying up until 4am every morning and being a bitch all day every day because of lack of sleep. I also want to write some children’s books and a text book for teaching over the summer, which will probably give me a touch of RSI, but for a good cause, rather than killing goblins, or whatever is the monster of the day in Skyrim.

I wish I was at Uni again.

Meh, just ration it out.

Yeah, cos I’ve managed doing that so well with my nictotine addiction. :^o

:sunglasses: I’ve done “better” with my gaming, I used to rushe through it as fast a possible mainly just because I would play it every chance I could (probably stemmed from the fact that I rented a lot of games and got in the habit of needing to beat them within 5 days).

Now I just play the games i really like every day still, just not as long…Still need to get the Witcher 2 though arrggh…

Okay, Steam’s downloading skyrim as I type.

…And as predicted I’m now completely addicted. Back when I’ve finished the game. (Sorry Pav, debate on hold. :blush: )

It’s funny because i tried to play again for the first timte today and I was uninterested within 30 minutes, i guess simply because i played it so much when it first released.

Side with the Empire!

Fun, isn’t it :slight_smile:

I racked up a lot of hours because I’m a bit of a completionist and when I first got to Whiterun I decided to do every quest available from the NPCs there, except the main quest which I decided to put off until last. And I proceeded in that way for each subsequent city, focusing just that city and all the minor quests connected to it. Markarth definitely has the best house.
