My eyes hurt after 4 hours of play than i can possibly explain. awesome overload or is the game trying to burrow through my skull? it feels like both.

To much awesome can kill a man don't ya know

YOUR GOING BLIND

Man up and take it!
I was able to handle 4:30 hours of the awesome before I gave in to the brainmelt and went to bed!!

going on 7 hours of awesome-ness and counting

try adjusting the FOV.

I have yet to go to sleep lol

I've been monitoring the forums and chatrooms related to Skyrim for the last 3 days (since I stilll don't have the game) and have noticed quite a few people are having health issues with the game.

Someone mentioned it was due to the default FOV setting of 70. If you change it to 90 or greater, the symptoms seem to dissipate somewhat. You can do this by typing ~ to get console and typing "FOV 90". Be aware that achievements will be deactivated after using the console, so save your game, and restart, and they will re-activate.

PS. Karnie beat me to it

Going blind from the Awesomeness? What a way to go.

I should be getting Skyrim in a few hours, so I can't speak to that. But there have been reports of the same thing with Fallout 3 (headaches and/or nausea). Including me, I used to get headaches when playing FO3. Something about the graphics of Field of View or something. Either I got used to it, or something changed because I don't get headaches with FO3 anymore. I never got headaches with any other game.

its bee happening to me aswell, ive had to take a break because my eyes have bee so strained, im wondering if its my tv or just the game

I've been hit with so much awesome, that "awesome" is the only word I can speak. (as you can see, I can type other words just fine).
