The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

[Douchebag]

Hmm, my gf has been bugging me to get an interesting game we could play together on the PS3.. Does it count if I play and she watches? :O

My GF likes doing that.

But for a game on PS3 try little big planet

Not having modded any of these sort of games before grish, is it worth it? I mean, generally, I think that modding  a game like this would ruin it.

They're usually in the form of user-generated content, Hug -- extra dungeons and so on. You can mod the swords to be super-mega-magical, I guess, but that's not the main gist of it.

Only ever played one RPG on a console -- Fable II. It was OK. Think I'll be sticking to the PC version.

well oblivion nowadays is mostly used for loli nude mods... or a waifu generator

there are different mods like in oblivion the khajit had a racial that allowed them to have night vision but you had to use it once ever couple of minutes there was a small mod that just made it a toggle
you know stuff like that maybe small things maybe different armors... maybe a new questline

maybe nude mods :P

Oblivion had a great high res texture mod as well.

Re. mods for oblivion and suchlike, I kinda dislike some of the texture packs - I liked the idea, but they often manage to just be 'hi res' at the expense of all else. Sometimes a blurry texture that 'fits' is better than a cripser one that looks really unnatural in the environment/on the shapes they're plastered to.

That said, I wish I'd had the mods available for oblivion that fix the sometimes utterly comically hideous faces on NPCs that you're meant to take seriously. The visual mods in general for oblivion are pretty decent if you pick and choose, e.g. taking a nice weather mod here, a window lighting mod there, and so on and so forth.

I think Skyrim, thankfully, doesn't suffer from the superbad faces. But I have no doubt at all that modders will be hard at work creating tweaked visuals. And, going by their track records? Many modders will also be hard, at work on smutty mods.

So, since Steam/Bethesda dosn't want my money i decided to get game by other means. It play's similar to Morrowind (and propably Oblvion, havent played it tho so cant be sure). Graphic is medicore at best, controls not exactly perfect for PC. But... fuck my life, so many choices, so many ways of playing, so big freedom (at least it seems that way now). Loving it! (also runs perfectly even on old PC like mine).

Make sure you aint using the "auto hardware detect" feature. It put my PC on "low", but it runs just as smooth on "high". Ill try "ultra" later but I think it'll just add AA as I already manually set all other important stuff to max.

...why does autodetect suck on so many games lately...

Btw, this is our write-up of Skyrim: http://www.extremetech.com/gaming/104439-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

Is that the "game guy" at ET? His Rage against the (console) machine article is utter bullshit, and in his Skyrim post he calls Crysis 2 a "sandbox lite". /facepalm

[kagemoth]

... Brilliant game indeed.
