Guy is giving vague answers in poor english and won't link screenshots to me so I'm not buying this.

Not sure if this has been asked already, but how is the mercantile system in Skyrim? Is gold insanely difficult to get in the first few hours and then practically worthless later on, or is it well balanced?

Me to, but it looks like this one did at least... not sure why,


testing install now. i forgot to clear space might take a few minutes, any info on what it improved? and what is the "texture problem" im hearing about ?

So you got the game yesterday and have already taken out a dragon? sigh..

I am currently installing, so correction, was not told i could not install due to not enough space.

Why did you receive your game? You are not supposed to get it until the 11th. It has not been released yet. You and the store who sold (Delivered) it to you is breaking the law you are aware correct?

Two perspectives are better than one!

How big are all the small towns (Shor's Stone, Falkreath, Rorickstead etc.)? Are they about the same size as Riverwood?

Plenty of stores in Norway(?) are selling the game early. Chill.

I don't know why he said that, because the Dragon bones stay forever it seemed. It did respawn when I went into that area where the dragon died. It didn't disappear. Right after it's death though, I didn't stick around to see if it went away...but I came back to the area after many days of wondering around and it was still there. Not in the same location, but it's skeleton body in whole was still there.

The DRM is a contract made between distributor and developer, not a law.

Soon finished with install will be doing some testing. btw I am currently looking for a chat to do this in, any ideas?

No need to add "Chill".
As for Norway...It's not the 11th there yet I believe..

Anyway, I guess certain countries have things worked out. I'm only 2 days away.

has skyrim already come out? because in america its not supposed to release untill 11/11/11.

Elion seems to be legit. He posted a picture of his game on his facebook page: www.facebook.com/gamesight

It looks like he also created a channel to show off the game on his TV, but Zenimax shut that down pretty quick.

It's supposed to "shorten" load times but there is a rumour going around that if you install it there's a bug, the textures wind up being low res, but it stays high res when you run it off the disc. That's all I know.

Only on page 6 but I had to say:

This is probably the coolest, funniest thread I've read here in a long time. Everyone is so full of joy and excitiement.

Thanks to Elion for all the hard work, and thank you to the Mods for letting the thread stay open.

I don't like installing my games to the HDD, why I guess its a personal choice. I am playing off the CD and the game loads fine and runs great. I don't have the patch either and it seems to run just fine. There were very very minor areas where the texture stayed in ultra low textures. I notice this mainly when I was riding on the horse outside and riding fast. I just went inside and came back out and it was gone. Before I put Skyrim in my drive, I did clear my cache and wiped out all my old saved games. So I was running a fresh clean drive. I don't like clutter on my drives, same goes for my PC. I wipe out my HDD religiously. I have a 2008 Xbox360 and a smaller HDD version. I think it's 20GB. I do plan to update it once I see what is patched, I don't want to update it if it's to solve a HDD loading issue. I don't have that problem.

Il check this now.

they wind up being low res for a split second, it's called texture pop in

I don't really get it: how people already play the game?

Is there a way to walk in the PC version WITHOUT using a gamepad?

Stores in several countries have released copies of the game early (and they aren't breaking the law, actually).

Currently i se no differences, only thing I see as low texture is currently a oxe i remember, that little bugger is still low res tough... swords i cant see , but if this is just the start, I wont mind.

thats what i dont understand either. but i bet most of them are just lying.
