But if the player (character) achieves CHIM, he can just use the console to check a character's attributes and do with him what he will.

Well this is weird. If I disconnect my boxes(5.1 but only subwoofer+2 boxes used) and instead plug headphones in I don't get any freezes. Same with BF3 where performance would suddenly become worse and worse the longer I played.

Found a copy of the strategy guide at a local gamestop on Saturday. I went O_O and zerged it just to find out my sister was all "WTF HOW DID YOU GET THAT, SOMEONE GOT IT FOR YOU ALREADY AND YOU NEED TO RETURN IT!" She was next door and didn't think I'd go digging for a book of all things. Yeahhh, she wasn't supposed to let me do that.

Needless to say; I did not return it and told her she would either give it to her boyfriend as a christmas gift, or I'd keep it for myself. I've checked 6 different stores and somehow that one actually had a few copies. Not going down without a fight!

So much fail I can't have it now though :( After all that work.

Maybe try a cheap new soundcard if you are using onboard sound.

I guess when I married Aela I got the town whore. Walking into a shop in Whiterun I hear someone cry for help the moment I press to enter...so I exit the shop to see whats going on and wouldn't you know it - Eorlund Grey Mane is brandishing a sword and attacking Aela. Jesus dude, you're like 70. That's disgusting.

Oh and then a few days later when attempting to use the now-empty skyforge it says that I can't use it in combat. So I turn around and wouldn't you know it - two of the newer members of the companions, the dark elf that you see fighting the first time you enter the mead hall, and Torvar, are brandishing weapons and attacking us. I don't get it. I guess I should just be glad the game isn't so messed up that it tries to send me to jail after killing these people.

It's crazy how broken some skill trees are. Just with smithing and enchanting the game becomes incredibly easy on the hardest difficulty. With alchemy it becomes the unholy trinity, with sneak it should be possible to one shot ancient dragons.

My final quest is to find those 24 stones. After that is done with all the npcs unflagged me and Feandal are going to kill everyone in skyrim.

So I've almost finished my stealth character with a non-Dragony playthrough. Quite the different creature this time around. It actually feels varied. Now I just have to determine if I want to do my spellsword or my pure mage next.

Almost 100 hours in with two characters too. Not bad. By the time I'm done with my characters, DLC will likely be out.

It's a single player game. You think something is excessively powerful and don't like it? Simple solution: don't do it.

The fun for me in the game was to figure out what I needed to best survive (without looking at wikis or community sites). Tbh the game is a shallow one if you can set it to the max difficulty and you still feel like your cheating. Everyone has had moments early game where the choice was abuse the ****ty ai and hop back and forth over a rock or get eaten by a bear. And for me that was the feeling of all fighting in the game.

The problem as I see it is they never really introduce any powerful enemies to combat the fact that they give you godlike powers. The game just does not scale well period no matter what your choices are. The reason being every single scenario was designed with a low level character being slightly challenged and this only scales artificially by adding health and damage to enemies. I would love for a chance to actually have to use even a quarter of the powers or weapons I have, or to actually need to prep before a dungeon.

Really? I never exploited the AI. If I couldn't handle it, I just got the hell out of there, and on master you have to use everything at your disposal.

Havent played that much with it yet, but so far it seams to do what it says :)

Much better fps in Marath for me (used to lag like crazy when exiting the keep)
