I walked, due to overencomberence.
Is it the same thing as in FO3 where you can walk but not run? As oppose to Oblivion where you can′t move at all?

Yes. It just slows you down, giving you a chance to walk to a place where you can safely drop/sell things. You also can't fast travel.

You escape your pending execution and... what was the first thing you did? Run to the nearest town? Kill someone? Steal? Talk to someone?

Please, do tell :smile:

I stopped and asked myself this question:

"how in the world did my Markarth-born, Nord character get caught 'crossing the boarder' when he has never left Skyrim... ever?"

Just like the Tootsie Pop, the world may never know.

Have a good blether with Ralof before picking some flowers and killing some wolves on the way to seek some refuge with his sister.

Maybe he had done something and had to leave Skyrim to avoid the law. When he thought it was safe he returned, only to get caught by those who had not forgotten... :ninja:

Actually, I've boiled it down to my character having a bad case of amnesia.... because he dosen't remember leaving Skyrim at all.

Or perhaps his buddy ole pal slipped some Skooma in his mead? Maybe that explains it.

Oh yes...now that I remember it. The very first thing I did was hit Ralof once too often to level up my one handed!

Ouch

I followed Hadvar to Riverwood, then i went to Whiterun, and so on. I dont really like to start exploring until after I have spoken to the Greybeards for the first time, but once I do it takes forever for me to go to the first quest they give me.

I prefer to see the game I am playing. If I want it super dark, I can just turn the lights out at home... :wink:
Sorry I'm so late to reply. My life is just such a dizzy whirl of parties and globe-trotting that I find it nearly impossible to keep up!

Anyway, don't get your hopes up about No Tint. One of the reasons I'm looking at Realistic Lighting is that I felt No Tint made dungeons too dark for my taste. I couldn't see a damn thing when I was in Blackreach. I kept walking into columns and railings and off the sides of platforms. Whole areas looked pitch-black to me. I can take that in small doses (in other dungeons there's usually been a dark room, followed by a lighter room that helps to break up the gloom a little bit, or a dark part of an otherwise nicely lit room, ect) but this was just oppressive and unrelenting and finally it got to me. I told myself that I would look for some other alternative when I started my next game.

The reason I think Realistic Lighting might do the trick is something I read in this post of Plutoman's: "...if you want some brighter nights and interiors, just find the brightnessMultiplierNight=1 and change it to 1.1, 1.2, or something like that. Do the same with brightnessMultiplierInterior." That last sentence gives me some hope that fiddling with a value for that line will keep me from having to bring my face up to within an inch of my monitor and squinting into a flat surface composed of various shades of black, near-black, semi-black, faux-black and, every so often, a tiny speck of really dark gray.

Run to the nearest waterfall to see if they really did look as good as they did in the trailers.

Then I went in search of an autumn forest.
