Tormund Ukrainesbane Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I have had no graphical issues whatsoever. Sounds like it may be a PS3 thing or maybe just your individual console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosciuszko Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Mountains are fine on my PS3. Not sure what's causing it. Only graphical issue I know of between consoles is the 360 has some minor issues that most people won't notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttering Bill Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I spent a good amount of time in the mountains yesterday, and have to agree that they look fine. On PS3. But you're complaining about screen size too, then I'd guess you're on and SDTV? Maybe just an issue of not playing in HD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vhagar Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I had one weird blip on PC with the graphics: swimming along off to the side it looked like one of those forever pools where the water appears to go off the side of the building? It was like that but everywhere else was normal. So far that's the only bug I've found, period.I hate the mountains too. I just want to get where I'm going!!!! I love the scenery but I hate not being able to run a short cut across. I do wander more this way, though. I just hate getting stuck. I tend not to fast travel unless I'm trying to get something done so I can get off line, but sometimes I just want an easy path through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verboten Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Hahaha oh my god a dragon just picked a fight with a giant, died and gave me its soul and the giant was so worn down I killed with three stealth arrows. I LOVE THIS GAME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Winged Wolf Bran Stark Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I saw the Northern Lights yesterday. They were pretty.Also, did the Nettlebane quest. Wonder what happened to those people in the cave. I was too busy running from those tree things to look. Currently working on clearing out my quest log. Not sure if I should join another organization, or continue the main quest after I do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verboten Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Am I the only one who is really disappointed in the followers right now? I mean I'm not asking for Lydia to have a deep and tragic backstory or her own personal sidequest but something other than constantly repeated one liners about how SKYRIM BELONGS TO THE NORDS (you just broke my poor Bosmers heart) or I WONDER WHAT'S IN THAT CAVE would do a lot to enhance the game. They just feel so bland and repeated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just feel so bland and repeated.Definitely. It's strange because there are so many other aspects of the game that have attention given to story... one of the best of which is what the NPCs say to each other. You can listen in to them plotting, etc. Or the kids talking, teasing. But, yea Lydia is sort of an important character and no backstory or further interaction (a little sex wouldn't be too much to ask would it?) is a glaring omission.Here's an area they could have just dropped and assigned the writers to Lydia, etc... -> the books. There are probably some people who actually read the books but the fact that you can actually read any book is "cool" but - meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanky316 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I'm building up a nicel ittle library in my book shelf at home in Whiterun, I plan on just psending some time reading up on the history of Skyrim, it's cities and various other factors. Did find a "Choose your own adventure" book as well so will spend some time playing with that in my spare time I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanky316 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Found my copy in the Companions living quarters I think... Something along the lines of "Kolb and the Dragon" I only scanned the first couple of pages but saw "if you want to do X go to page X" references in that one. Stored for when I decide to just run through and do my studying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care if the mercenaries are bland but a plot based character should be more fleshed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howdyphillip Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Ya know, I have played Bethesda games for a long time now, and I really love them. They are incredibly rich worlds, and always graphically some of the best in the industry, but I highly disagree that they do good mountains close up. If you are climbing a mountain, and are facing the wall, then it looks like blocks of multi colored nothing. I can't think of any way to fix the problem with the current technology, so I personally wouldn't feature them as a landscape.It is not my PS3 that gives me the issue. I have played these games on every thing that they are available on including top of the line PC's. Next time you are climbing a mountain, and can't move up, and your sight gets blocked by a wall, stop and take a look. That is what I am talking about. In Skyrim, the distant and near perspectives look amazing, but the close ups are annoying. My issue is that I am often caught up in the extreme close ups trying to climb mountains.

Angeleyes Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Full disclosure, I have never played any Elderscrolls games before this. I walk into the first town after not being beheaded. I see a chicken. I kill the Chicken. I get killed by a dude with an axe and a chick with what seems to be a rolling pin. I officially love this game. Sorry about the chicken guys, I wouldve just given you a sword if I had known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, they can only eat you once.Started my hardcore game last night. No fast travel, no contradictory faction choices, no mercy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivin Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 I didn't realize there was a hardcore option.Or are you just keeping yourself to those limitations?Edit:Working through the Dark Brotherhood questline, and I have a problem:I summoned a certain spectral assassin, and he won't shut the fuck up. Anyone know how I can un-summon him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
