Elder Scrolls V (video game)

[Mr. Clean]

i was actually considering starting over and staying away from that particular hideout till i got the actual quest requiring me to go there, but with 40 hours already completed and my character/house/wife/skills already established, i'd have a very hard time re-doing everything for that one questline/achievement. still debating on just saying "f*ck it" and starting from scratch, but we'll see. very aggravating, for sure. perhaps i'll wait till the patch comes out next week and then see whether or not i feel like starting all over. -- -------- Post added 27-Nov-2011 at 02:46 PM ---------- Previous post was 26-Nov-2011 at 01:35 AM ---------- like i was going on about in the shoutbox, i said fuck it, started over. kicking myself for buying this right away and not waiting for the first patch to come out. Sometimes it's good to be broke. -- -------- Post added at 03:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 PM ---------- I've been foaming at the mouth for this game since it came out but since I'm taking a huge cut in pay and Christmas time is coming around I've stop buying a crap load of stuff that I normally do including chips, sodas, and BEER

I personally haven't experienced many bugs with this title so far - only a few minor things not limited to collision detection and whatnot. A couple of times a character will walk past me whilst I'm in a convo and will start talking random shite over the useful NPC and things like that, still I look forward to the update. I also really want to see a mod that removes the level cap and allows a player to continue levelling up past 50 and still adding perks.

The only game breaking bug I've found so far is in a place called "Bonechill passage" where you have to go and kill a vampire, I get so far into the cave & the game just instantly quits to desktop every time, I've searched for the problem and a few people have had it, apparently running the game in windowed modeis the way to get round it just on that section, but rather than mess about with that I'll just go back to that quest later when its been patched, I've got more than enough other stuff to be doing in the game!

Famitsu, Japan's most well known gaming publication, has for the first time given a Western-developed game a 40/40: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=453647 Famitsu's editors have awarded their latest perfect score. This time, an overseas game finally managed to cross the 39 barrier and received a perfect 40 as Famitsu's four person review crew each scored The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim a 10. The game sees PS3 and Xbox 360 release on the 8th. Well deserved for a truly great game. I thought Oblivion was crap, but Bethesda really made great improvements in every category for Skyrim.

Guys, can someone explain to me if the Silverhand quest line is really broken if you haven't already cleared out the target dungeon/cave/camp in question? I'm trying to avoid excess spoilage if possible.

[AcesandEights]

what's the quest name? I'll have to look at it at home, the wiki doesn't list the part of the quest I'm on as part of the Companions quest line but there's no comparable listing falling between "The Silver Hand" quest and the next in the line "Blood's Honor". Weird that there's no mention of it in the associated articles.

Cool so I looked it up and will post my reply in spoiler tags just in case...   so the Blood's Honor quest seems to be the one where you need to collect the witches heads? - if so don't fret, I've done that one and have delivered the heads - the next quest you get is an assassination which I haven't done yet, but Blood's Honor, that's OK.

Thanks so much for the info Symph! Will take it under advisement and plow further ahead...after I finish what I have on the docket (sooooo much to do in this game, I love it)!

Thanks so much for the info Symph! Will take it under advisement and plow further ahead...after I finish what I have on the docket (sooooo much to do in this game, I love it)! yeah I think I've done the companions quests - or at least the main ones...not sure now...the quests for the companions have taken a different spin since doing the one in the spoiler box! But yeah, definitely OK past that Silver Hand point... Funnily enough the last companions thing I did with Aela the Huntress ended up taking me to a mine that I'd just cleared....got me worried for a sec but all the enemies (spiders) had respawned. God I only get two hours a day and a few at the weekend since taking this new role, so I can never really get too involved with it. I need a good 12 hour slot....

Yep this game is responsible for the dark circles currently residing under my eyes! I'm up at the crack of dawn and dont get home till 7 at night, so my gaming time is limited unless I stay up till daft times in the morning which I have been doing. I get a bit of time on a weekend but thats when my girlfriend starts wanting my full attention, I don't think she'd take too kindly to me spending more time with Lydia than her

My wife is away starting from tomorrow till Sunday, so Thursday night, Friday night and all day Saturday will probably be spent in Skyrim.
