Flipping 'eck! running it in Ultra at 1920x1200 - bloody awesome

 

Stills look amazing! Is it really a big step up?

I am considering getting a PC now......

 

It's really good - you have to see it to appreciate it... it's just the little touches everywhere....

This is a full size bitmap - look closely at the armour....

 

Nice!!!!



I have just got stuck inside someones head!

 

Pelagius's(sp), David?

If so, you'll end up with Wabbajack which can be fairly handy.

 

Recently got

Spellbreaker - nice against dragons

Sanguine Rose - lethal

Nightingale - useful

 

I've also tried it on my laptop at 1080p full settings and it was stunning, so much more detailed than the Xbox and that is without the high res pack. I also liked the scroll wheel function of being to change how far/close in 3rd person view you can bo on your character.

Still playing it on the xbox though as using the mouse was hideous and haven't got the adapter for using the xbox controller in Windows.

 

Anyway to get this game portable?

 

Well my laptop is 17" so not exactly portable like a netbook but yes at least if I wanted to play Skyrim on the move I could take it with me.

If you wanted truly portable then you would be looking at an 11" or 13" Alienware laptop.

I'm just waiting for tablets such as ipad to become proper gaming machines where games such as Skyrim can be played. When that happens I won't be bothering with consoles anymore.

 

...Infinity Blade

 

Actually - just thinking about it - it should run on Windows under Parallels on my Macbook Air - its an i7 so it should have the grunt!!

 

I will never work again!

 

I've played it, don't like it. Yes there are good games but i'm talking about equalling consoles which they have the potential to achieve. Imagine Skyrim on a highres tablet, that's what i'm after.

 

What's the gpu on the Macbook?

 

Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB

There are reports that it will work - Cider, Bootcamp.

Just trying to work out my best option.

 

If it runs with an HD3000 then it will be at its lowest settings. That is the standard onboard gpu with intel chips and not designed for gaming where as with Skyrim you want the best dedicated gpu you can afford to pay for in a laptop hence why I said alienware earlier.

I'm using a Dell XPS with 3gb Nvidia GeForce GT 555M. Not the best out there but good enough to make Skyrim look stunning.

 

you are joking aren't you?

 

Yeah - it wasn't bought as a gaming machine.

I bought it BS (Before Skyrim)

I know nothing

 

The Air does not come with another graphics option.

 

You'll have to upgrade to a macbook pro then I think they have two dedicated card options, 512mb and 1gb but use ddr5 so run nice and quick.

 

I have a Macbook Pro I could downgrade to - its an i7 with and Nvidia GForce GT330 512mb

 

That GT330 is old hat now as far as I know and still wont be up to the job for the visuals you are after. Try it and see but I bet it will struggle even on medium settings.

 

Yes the latest i7 has AMD Radeon HD 6770M with 1GB GDDR5 which would be up to the hi-res version too!!!

Not shelling out another £2k though I think we have enough Macbooks!

 

F*&^%^%*&^%*&^%*&^%*&^%(*&*£(W£R*£QR^&KKKKKKKK!!


I have returned to the main quest for the first time in over 100 hours. A day after loading the patch...



...and it has glitched. I am at Alduin's Wall and Esbern just stands there is not unlocking the puzzle. As Autosave is now working the last manual save I have is 9 hours ago

 

He doesn't. You do.

Lazy bugger

 

Well - when I got stuck I tried for a while and then checked the walkthrough and it seems pretty glitched to me. Delphine is not there - and according to the walkthrough without Delphine I cannot complete the quest!

 

Even more annoying is that the first 'glitchy' visit to Karthspire yielded Ebony Armour from a chest.

Now I am replaying it it isn't there "boo hoo"

 

With Delphine there at least Esbern completed the 'puzzle' for me













Although I accidentally 'gave' Lydia to Delphine!!!

 

Trout, I think you are addicted to this game

I am not playing at the moment...










...so it can't be an...
