The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

i havent added the new patch sooooo... lol

Downloaded the new patch(ps3) and now every hour or so my sound goes out for 10mins at a time D: hasn't happened before this

I don't really ever touch any of the decorations in any of my homes. If anything, I'm picking them up to sell off to my wife. I love my barren homes. xD


I only kill what attacks me first (unless they are a quest target). I will go into stormcloak camps and wait for them to get all mad and attack me though. :D


Maybe he just liked feeling the crisp breeze between his knees. Either that or his clothes were slowing him down and causing him to deliver messages late. /shrug

Hey I have a question about the passage of time in this game. Does it matter at all? Is it one of those things where if you don't get to a certain point by x number of days things will be different? Also, what's the deal with sleep? Is it necessary in any way and how specifically does the number of hours you choose to sleep effect you?

hmmm... found my most annoying bug. since new patch, weapon racks hang stuff up horinzontally. like i stick claymore on it, claymore sticks out 5 feet into room.

As far as things like "after 50 days you will be approached by a messenger" or something... no, not as far as I can tell. All random occurrences in the game are random, and things like Dragons getting harder is due to your level gain.

If you sleep for a certain period of time (I think at least 8 hours) you get a "well-rested" bonus which improves your skill rate gain. Depending on the bed, you can receive varying %'s of well rested. I think bed rolls & hay piles are 5%, nice beds are 10%, something like that. The "well-rested" bonus will last 8 game hours.

Also, if you have the lover stone (15% skill rate gain to all) or you have the disease for being a warewolf, you cannot get well-rested bonus.

very helpful, thank you.

a bed not owned by you is rested, a bed owned by you is well rested, and sleeping with your husband/wife give i think whats called "lover's comfort"

Random but, There is something, somewhere at my work that makes the sound that Nirnroot makes when you approach it. Everytime i hear it, i'm just like "PLEASE, OH GOD NO!" it's going to drive me insane lol.

Lover's comfort :o cool. I still haven't messed around with the marriage thing yet

if you like sh-t graphics go for it . . god every patch on the ps3 is a disappointment. I understand WHY but holy balls even things up close look like cr@p now. -.-

there was a way around the crashes before this patch you simply turned auto save off or made it only do so every 5 mins when you enter your MM(selecting magic/items/skills/map) after that you never crashed anymore the problem is mostly with their auto save lagging the game so hard, now I'm more pissed off that my game is stuck in sh-ty mode . . .

get it on pc :P

i know the game was perfect when i first started it. every update i have seen on the ps3 has not made the game better or smoother, just worse.


what did 1.3 fix?

as far as i have seen not one thing.

So I'm curious. What's your favorite Shout in game? I seem to be partial to Whirlwind Sprint.

Update 1.3 Notes (all platforms unless specified)



Fixed Radiant Story incorrectly filling certain roles

Fixed magic resistances not calculating properly

Fixed issue with placing books on bookshelves inside player purchased homes

Fixed dragon animation issues with saving and loading

Fixed Y-look input to scale correctly with framerate

elemental fury, except now im using enchanting weapons, so i guess dragonrend?

Anyone else on PS3 get an issue where it loads forever and just endlessly gives you bits of advice/lore?
I hit the PS button, but then I got the little clock and eventually a fade to black... Music is still playing ;/

i've had it freeze on the load screen before, you can usually tell because it wont have the icy wind on the bottom of the screen if it freezes

Yes. I believe it's somehow related to the autosave feature because I haven't had the issue since turning autosave off.

Well, I've found a way to make this game hysterically fun again (sorry people not on pc :<). Removed all my one handed+ from my paladin type character, consoled myself to level 100 and installed:

http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1269
and
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=3829

The first increases the level calculations of mobs to 1.8x your level, the second basically reworks dragons total base HP and attack modifications.

With 3587 armor (yes thats so far beyond the cap it isnt funny, abusing the Ancient Knowledge glitch on a set of Legendary daedric) all +hp/+hp regen and +stamnia/+stamina regen enchants, I spent 20 minutes and about 15 potions attempting to kill the new "high tier" dragon from the deadly dragons mod. My mres is -92% iirc (mara, alteration perk x3, brenton blood and lord stone) and breath will truck through nearly 1k hp without any issues. One melee is about 250-300 damage, even with that armor rating. Sweating bullets every time I hear a dragon over head now.... One swing from a 700~ dmg daedric sword is about equal to the damage done to an anicent dragon from a shield bash without these mods. Really wish Bethseda would make these type of improvements to the game themselves, for the corner stone mob of the game, after lv50 dragons are basically more of a waste of time (between them aggroing everything but you unless you hit dragonrend as they fly in, and the fact that after you have every shout... souls become useless Im not sure what they were going for in a long/complete playthrough) than something you actively go hunting for.

Aura Whisper is by far my most used shout, although every character I play is a sneaky type. I also love the Slow Time one :D

I abuse that shout aura whisper is so op imho, feels like cheating lol. I haven't upgraded since it lengthens the recast I think lol and I spam it way to much to have the recast any longer lol.

should upgrade it.... it makes the aura last longer :p and it almost lasts until the recast is up

Ever since I fully upgraded my daedric armor set and bow, the game has been super easy mode. Never touched the game again since then :( I am level 45 and does the game get harder in later levels? or do I need to start over again. I don't feel like doing that though.

Best thing you can do to keep the game challenging is not turning your character into a demigod, like not using smithing and enchanting to make a legendary daedric set that caps your defence and makes you near immune to magic lol.

Finally got Skyrim for the 360 (lol) unsure if I want to keep my illegitimate copy on my PC or free up some space.


Probably keep it :|

Funny how peeps can't have any self control and blame the devs cause they can't not abuse the system so they cry about it cause others do lol. It's like skyrim a MMO that needs balance and nerfs roflmao cause you can't control your self because someones toon in the world is better than yours lol.

Finally, my dreams of a true hunter class with pet companion and bow in hand can come true!

This bugs me too. Hearing people go out of their way to break and exploit the crafting system, making ridiculously powerful builds to the point of silliness, and then complain it's too easy...

Could you imagine how difficult the game would be if the game was "challenging" to the people who break and exploit it? Us regular players wouldn't stand a chance!
