Cannot connect to Steam this evening. How to play? Right now, I am in the online mode, but there does not seem to be any way to get to the offline mode. When I click on the Steam icon all I get is "logging on to "
Suggestions? I don't have a Skyrim icon at all.

Unfortunately, it sounds like you will have to wait until Valve/Steam fixed their nearest server that you connect to.

DRM sure is a hassle.
