Some modders have gone into game files and basic border breaking to reveal the entirety of cyrodil, morrowind, hammerfall and parts of a few other provinces of tamriel are in game. like complete. theres no buildings added but all the terrain is in game right now. I think the dlc for this game is going to be MASSIVE. yeah I think I cracked this one last night and it's not really something to get excited about....Basically without going into spoilers there's a Daedric quest which sends you up very high in the Sky to talk with a God - during this time you can see the whole of Cyrodill. The "landscapes" are very very very basic and when you look at them closely, they don't even match the original Oblivion too well. I am pretty sure that this landscape is purely for that quest....

-shadowmere runs in and takes a melee hit for me and flies into orbit. -her dead corpse lands in riverwood 20 real world minutes later WHAT. Sounds like the physics engine needs a bit of attention

Sounds like the physics engine needs a bit of attention I think it's a deliberate feature of the giants. Just a bit of humour. They smack pretty much anything they hit into space, I've seen them do it to wolves, foxes, bears, my character...

Well, I've been enjoying the hell out of the game, myself.

[ProfessorChaos]

ditto. absolutely hooked right now. been exploiting the easy smithing leveling-technique, (which i discovered on my own before videos started showing up online for it) and have been making a fortune crafting all sorts of expensive armors and weapons to sell, then improving and enchanting my own to ensure total-badassery. mainly focusing on side quests and getting my house decked out. will probably blow through the main quest later, i'm really not even concerned with that now.

[kidgloves]

Its got to the stage now when i will only play this at weekends. I don't know about anybody else but i need 5-6 hour stints because its so immersive.

kinda bummed, found my first game-fucking bug: one of my companion quests involves assassinating a lieutenant of the silver hand clan, problem is, i'd already killed this particular asshole a few days prior while exploring the area....so now when i go to the journal and highlight the quest, his corpse has a marker hovering over it. took all items off his body, still nothing. used a staff to reanimate the corpse, killed it again, nothing. so now, i can't take on any new quests for the companions...nice. i hear there's a patch coming next week, hopefully this will be one of the problems addressed, along with the graphics issues when the disc is installed to the HDD. still my favorite game in ages, but since i have no saves dating back that far, it's a pretty shitty ordeal.

Guys, you should know by now to always have multiple save files because of shit like this, rotating each file with every save.

[Danny]

Guys, you should know by now to always have multiple save files because of shit like this, rotating each file with every save. ive got over 300 saves, the problem is the next quest in the chain doesnt start. going back and reloading an earlier save doesnt matter. you need to restart a whole new game- and when i go back to my origional character it deletes the saves from the new one so it sucks either way.

[ProfessorChaos]

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.
