Recieved game yesterday, ask away if you got questions :) (

If you actually read the article, it said how textures were very bad and un-loaded when the game WASN'T installed.

So there is no such bug.

The article was wrong and based on two mixed up screenshots.

Comment fail.

Is it possible to use your empty hand to punch with if you are wielding only one One-Handed weapon?

hi there buddy.

i've PMed you these question since they might not interest anyone else but me and it'll be easier to answer them this way. it'd be better that if you know the answers than PM them to me instead of posting them here. i think no one goes as deep as i am into the mechanics of the melee and most will care less than I.

anyways, if you are playing a melee character you might be interested in testing these things out yourself.

1) can you bash with all melee weapons (1 handed as well as 2 handed) as long as you dont equip anything in the other hand? (bash by holding "block" and adding "attack")

2) what happens if u equip a spell + weapon and pull both triggers at the same time?

3) does bashing cause stagger on enemies even if they are blocking or attacking you? (is bashing a valid way to break enemies defense to allow easy attacks or preventing incoming attacks instead of blocking?)

4) do power attacks with a weapon cause staggering on all humanoid enemies (bandits, guards, draugrs, skeletons etc)?

5) is there a difference between blocking before an enemy is attacking you or timing your block just as he swings his weapon at you? does timing your block have any advantages over just holding it in advance?

6) can you change the distance of the 3rd person camera by holding down the right stick and moving the left?

thanks for readin this, mate. i hope u get to answer my quarries. :)
have fun gaming.

You gonna pick pocket them to death?

Seriously, I'm sure there will be ways for a thief to beat a dragon. Part of the fun is figuring out how.

This already been asked. Read the other pages, man. If people keep asking the same questions over and over again, there will be like 8 pages and the guy will be : "Heck no! I'm not browsing every single damn posts and loose 2 hours of playing the game".

EDIT : Someone should browse the questions and compile a list that'll be easy to read so that our OP lad here will have easier time to browse through them. Not me though, I'm at work.

It clips through external shelters like bridges and covered porches if that's what you mean, but not into internal cells.

How is screen tearing, texture pop in, shadows, details, any frame drop?

Have seen one texture pop. , details are perfection! no tearing yet and frames keep itself normaly. no drops.


If you have a sword in one hand and shield, does the shield stay at your side like oblivion? or does it go on your back when you sheath your sword?

Have not testet that.. will look into it.
Checked it now, its in his left hand...

Since I can't find a concrete answer to this anywhere: Can you somehow increase jump height, or better yet climb? I know everyone is very outspoken about the inhuman jumps in Oblivion, but since you probably can't climb at all I would prefer outlandish jump heights to nothing at all (it svcks planning to play an assassin-ish character and finding out that I will have to be a good house guest and enter every house through the ground floor door). No, in reality I wouldn't be able to jump as high as in Oblivion, but nor would I be completely incapable of climbing a 4 foot fence.

So, how about it? Any high jumps or climbing (I'm mainly interested in climbing town buildings and similar)? Thanks!

Have not seen any increase in jumping. also no athletics in the skill tree sadly.

With enchanting, can we craft and enchant new staves?

Seems like a no brainer question - but Oblivion didn't actually allow us to without work arounds (Staves COULD be enchanted but there was no way to get blank staves without modding or cheatting)

U can craft them, and then enchant them is all i know..


If you push in the right joystick on an item will it "grab" it and make it float in front of you in the air like it always has?

Hold down A.. it locks in, and you can release A, press it again or any other button it goes out of "move mode"

you can change the keys to whatever you wish i think like in previous ES titles :)

Have not seen this in the game options...

From what you've seen, how is the variety of armor/clothes? Is it as vast as Morrowind's, or is it more like the choices we had in Oblivion? If it's unlike either (better? :D) then that would be great too!

Havent played much morrowind sadly, but there is a LOT of varity, like are armour bound to factions and such.

What perks do you find essential?

I increased damage on a spell f.ex , it instaly made me OP...

How are guards reacting to crimes? Are they psychic?

Are NPCs picking stuff up that you drop?

What's the deal with book cases? Can you put things besides books in them? Do those things appear on the shelf next to books, etc?

Are there any crimes being commuted by NPCs?

No pcs i seen, i can give stuff to my companion , she or he will wear it.
Not sure what u mean on book cases...
Guards did put me in jail once...

Jump animation looks very nice. Trust me.
In my opinion it doesn't look that good. In fact, there was a video review complaining specifically about the fact that your character lands like he has no weight working against his fall, and from what I saw I agree.

Can you confirm/deny the XBOX360 texture issue when installed to HDD now that you have the game and patch?
Not seen any install option at all . and i had a patch i belive at first.

Wood cutting... What's the mecanic of it?

U gain f.ex 6 cut wood of cutting it, u press A on the log you cut at and it cuts 3 by it self, no mini game.


Could you please pick up a bow and test out the mechanics? I would love to know if it'll get "boring" in the long run, compared to the flashy magic, and awesome melee finishing moves etc..

Are there any "finishing moves" with bows? Can you nail someone to a wall (lol)? Or is it pretty much just like Oblivion marksmanship? Anything like this would be greatly appreaciated :biggrin:

Bow are insanly impressive, the feel never gets old il stand for that. Magic is a bit Op in my eyes, but its okay.. you want to be awesome:P


can you resolve the outdoor/indoor rain question?

specifically, do environmental weather effects pass through outdoor structures that have roofs ( example: tents, rock overhangs, castle towers out in the wilderness)

Never seen this. will have to come back to you... Tough light inside a cave changes depending on day, usualy moonlight to keep the area lit.. I respect and understand that.

are third person finishers forced?

Yes, some moves are also based on only first person. Not sure if it forces it the other way.


How often does your character do 3rd person finishing moves as opposed to 1st person finishing moves? I like the 1st person finishing moves a lot from what I have seen, like stabbing them in the back or down into the chest.

Random i think, not sure how its "mapped out"...

If a dragon starts flying southbound from solitude going 75 mph and two hours later a mudcrab starts north going from Falkreath at .5 mph what time will amazon deliver my [censored] pc copy?

I usualy shoot them down....

Can you summon lesser daedra? (clannfear, scamp, etc.)

I can do zombie rabbies... I have not even tought about anything else, i actually woke up a rabbit to serve me.. It still haunts me to this day. they turn to dust when they time out tough. to avoid abusing them.


- How can you check your statuses like poisoned or diseased ? Judging from the menus (items, map, perks and magic), I can't guess where this info is shown.
Also, what are the effects of poison and diseases? They can't reduce stat so are they affecting only your total amount of magika/health/stamina or they only makes you lose health per second or they give special penalties?

Check it trough magic options...


Is it possible to breed wild cats with wild bears and raise the babies to love and protect my character?

Let me go ask a bear. ...

VERY dumb question but here it goes.

Do bodies disappear in Skyrim after you loot them, or do they stay like in Oblivion/F3/F: NV, meaning that they vanish after several days?

I hope it is the latter, It would be pretty silly and immersion-breaking if they would disappear before our very eyes.
