Well lads!
I've been playing the game for the past three hours. I must say, I'm not dissapointed xD It's brilliant!!! I was fearing that the combat was going to be poor like Oblivion but it has been improved pretty decently! Graphics are pretty good too, my frame rates seem to go from 60 to 35 suddenly?!?! Not sure what that's about! Everything is on high too, no ultra and AA is only 2x! Not impressed by it's overall performance. What are your thoughts so far??? |

Will be playing it in about an hour depending on whether I get beers or not.
It wasn't a smooth install, due to steam. But thats the kind of luck I have with steam. |

Very sweet game, i'm at 1920x1080 on ultra, and it runs sweet. I did check on task manager and it is using all 4 cores.
Very nice game and i am looking forward to spending a lot of hours with her and getting to know her intimately.

I know, I was not supposed to post yet, but for you guys already enjoying the game on Nvidia cards, a new beta driver was released today, and I didn't see it posted on the news:
GeForce Forceware 285.79 Win 7 Vista x32 GeForce Forceware 285.79 Win 7 Vista x64 It ads an SLI profile for Skyrim and a 3D vision profile as well, enjoy! My Collector's Edition arrives tomorrow

They say it tends to crash when the sound card is on 192khz/24bit.
Mine is. how do I change that setting?

Change the setting in control panel or whatever software they provide, if needed download the newest drivers with software. Make it 16bit, 24bit is a gimmick anyway.

I usually don't mind if a game uses Steam but this sucks. I wanted to install my game on my SSD which Steam isn't installed on. At the GameStop I went to they were giving PC customers Lego Universe and the big strategy guide for it for free. I don't think the map is canvas. Seems to be textured paper to me.

Steam Mover is the app.
Some ini tweaks for quality: http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=11 Liking it so far; was hoping for more awesome opening music that really grabbed me tho like Morrowind and Oblivion had. Minor, to be sure, but still. Other than that it's def a TES game and I'm still in the cave.

First 5-10 minutes after character creation is exhilarating. Can't wait for AMD to release the Crossfire profiles.

Some VERY poor planning on my part with a new build. Skyrim will be here from Amazon this evening, and I'm still missing parts for my new gaming build. I'm guessing if I try playing it on the one of the family rigs, with a lowly 250 gts, I'm going to be REALLY disappointed. UGH

ES:IV had a one button click to move to a point indicated? If this had the same you could use an area devoid of npc's and let it walk to the given point from a given point?

Chances are the game was built from the ground up to be played using a console controller...
