Re: TES Skyrim Discussion Thread
It's a little time involving, but not particularly hard. I actually took apart my machine last week and literally got to the last step, only to find that one of the screws on the heatsink was sheared at the top and completely irremovable. Jeweler's screw, pliers, superglue trick, nothing worked. Unfortunately I live in a country that has zero experience with this sort of thing, so taking it to a local repair shop isn't really viable. I ended up just rebuilding the machine and calling it a wash.
I don't think it's a hardware issue though, since it's only Skyrim that does this for me. Card isn't over/underclocked, incidentally, and nothing obstructs the vent.

Re: TES Skyrim Discussion Thread
I have been downloading Skyrim since the 11/9/2011. This is starting to really anger me. steam downloads at like 30 kb/sec. Then I finally finish the download only to have it start updating itself with a file that must be just as large.
Seriously .

Re: TES Skyrim Discussion Thread
LOL if you look at some reviews of the PC version of Skyrim, they are rating it 1/10 or 3/10 just because they don't like the menu consolization.
PC gamers getting way too picky? I wouldn't know, I am still downloading Skyrim the last 6 days...

Re: TES Skyrim Discussion Thread
Strange, I love it.
The only bug I've encountered so far is that with favorites, assigning a number doesn't work properly. I kept losing my quick key for the bow, so I had to access the quick menu to re-equip it everytime.
I actually love the menu consolization. The entire interface is minimalist and easy to use.
I'm 4-5 hours into it now, I completed the Dragon Claw quest and so far I give Skyrim a 9/10.
Tip: Don't try to take on a giant by yourself at lvl 4. Funny, but bad idea.http://the-skyrim-blog.blogspot.com/

Re: TES Skyrim Discussion Thread
Havent heard of those bad reviews ??? And I think people are way too picky. YES, the you can clearsy see and feel that the menu have been made for console but it still works just as good. Could have been a little butter but it doesnt change the gameplay at all. Amazing game 9 outta 10 easy (with only 6 hours in tho).
I also tried the ultra setting (every thing maxed) and managed to pull a steady 28-30 fps, so far i've super impressed with the m14x. Im playing a mix of high and ultra at the moment with medium for shadows and have always over 45 fps outside and inside.
Would have never guessed that a 14 inch laptop could pull it off ! haha and I have the basic m14x, with i5 2410m.
One question, did you guys follow the imperial guard or the stormcloack prisoner for the introduction mission ?
Enjoi the gaming !
