Here's a fun thread from the official forums It irritates me to no end when I see people posting complaints about the engine on the bethsoft forums, kotaku, etc. Like, I don't understand how these people know the name of the game's engine when they clearly have no idea what an engine does. That age-old trend of blaming the…
Skamberin: I don't know, I think there's quite a lot of positivity on rps as well. Granted, cod/moh/etc. get simplified down to 'shooty manfest 1, 2 and 3', but... honestly, is that even wrong to do? And a lot of the grumpy comments are done in a tongue-in-cheek kind of way. Either way, Dtoid/Kotaku bring out my hatred for…
In Fallout 3 you could die to higher level things even at the max level. The way it scaled was that you had less of a chance to encounter horribly high level stuff early in the game. But there were places where high level things roamed aplenty, and could easily kill you. It was nowhere near the terribleness of Oblivion, it…
I know you can't answer anything but I really want you to be honest with me because your answer will decide if I buy or not. Will it be completely stable and not lag on a top of the line PC that can handle Crysis, Mass Effect 2 and so on on Max Settings? Fallout 3 ran alright, New Vegas (I know wasn't made by your guys)…
I never played Oblivion(I know I am a heretic :( ) HOWEVER I am a total Fallout 3/New Vegas junkie! I will probably get into this one though just to give it another shot, Jeremy Soule should be brought back! his OST scores are simply beautiful and captivating imho. I grew up with Secret of Evermore and loved the soundtrack…
The modding community for Oblivion and Fallout 3+NV are absurdly amazing. . . Especially the Texture Mods. It's insane the dedication people put into these games. I wondering what the modding community for Skyrim will be like.. The textures already look really good and about as good as any Fallout mod out there... Oh yea..…
Oh Lydia! http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/11/15/skyrim-companion-lydia/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+RockPaperShotgun+%28Rock%2C+Paper%2C+Shotgun%29&utm_content=Netvibes Yeah I'm doing a sneak/pickpocket/archery thief, it's quite fun. I've reached 100 in pickpocket, so now I can steal the…
Yeah, some (thakfully not all) of them really don't know what normal maps do, I have noticed, and how they are best used. Good = normalmap filter directly on the diffuse! Better = moar detail and noise! Same for some specular maps I have seen, that just used a greyscale copy of the texture - which is bad for a face where…
So I am just getting back into Skyrim, going to do a second playthrough, I was wondering if anyone knows of the mods I am after. #1 A character equipment screen like Diablo, where you can drag and drop armour onto your character and see what you're wearing. #2 Displacement maps/higher res textures. #3 Better faces/facial…
Yeah that's one thing I learned my lesson on in Oblivion, quicksaves especially could be pretty notorious with getting corrupted. I always had the one quicksave going, and I'd constantly cycle through 3 hard saves alongside it. Will be doing the same thing in Skyrim, assuming a similar system. One thing I'm really hoping…
