A while ago I got a really cheap replacement keyboard, because my other one committed suicide after years of me using it to abuse grammar and spelling. It worked just fine, but after a while, the keys stopped springing back after typing. They still worked quite well, but when typing, I just couldn't feel as if I was pressing the keys. That lead to even more typing horrors. When I got a new keyboard, with keys that actually spring back, and travel a good distance until contact, I was a lot

[quote who="RavenX" reply="188" id="3033876"] Hey Unacomn, I know you've said you're running on a system that's way under specs earlier in the thread. Some of the performance problems you've mentioned though remind me suspiciously of some of the problems I was having before I did the "Speaker Output Fix" that's talked about on the official forums. Do me a favor to save my curiosity (and maybe fix some of your performance issues) and set your soundcard/speaker ou

I ran across this right before I got my hands on Skyrim, and it was amazing. It's a rougelike sidescroller. I've never seen one before, let alone one that's full of humor and that has levels with tons of secrets that you can explore for hours. It's long, really long, which is impressive considering it was made by one guy. That does however show when it comes to balancing and a few other rough edges. Still, if it weren't for Skyrim, I would have played it a lo

You can do that already, in the quick selection list (Q) press 1..8 while the mouse is over an item, be it weapon, potion, spell, anything. Why you can't do that from the inventory itself boggles the mind.

Nice trees, sadly I don't have camera handy, but I can describe mine. It's a small plastic thing, filled with decorations and christmas lights, to the point where I think it will catch fire. It's also decorated with papercraft characters from The Witcher 2. Who needs an angel or a star at the top of the tree when you've got Geralt.

If I manage to fix my PC while I'm on vacation this month, I'm going to start the game again, and mod it to hell and beyond. The interface especially, I hated it to no end, but now I see there's a mod for that. I just wish there was a way to mod the Morrowind interface into it, sadly, that's impossible. Also, a minimap would have been nice, although... funny story. When I played Morrowind the first time for 3 months, I had a SiS 315 video card that didn't get along well wi

No Giles so far, but in this week's episode, Tara showed up [e digicons]:rofl:[/e] . I also found it funny that her character [spoiler]died before speaking a single line, was named, showed her face. At this rate, I expect Xander to show up blind, or as leader of SHIELD. The next two words have no meaing [/spoiler] obfuscated monotremes.

I think it was more of a case of "This isn't the beta you're looking for... because it will give you cancer" Also, bird isn't the word anymore, it's Magick Cow

It's times like these I'm glad I can't afford a mobile phone. I'm expecting eye scanners, like in Minority Report, to be next.

Finally finished the main story. Or I think I did. Not entirely sure, there's no ending cinematic, scrolling credits, or any such thing. But now I can summon dragons and heroes of old. Now. When I finished it. I'm really sad that I spent 40 hours mucking about with sidequests. I should have gone for the main quest, finished it as fast as I could. Then I could enjoy the sidequests with those nifty powers. Also, really, how do I disable that HDR/eye adjustment to light thing, it

Not using any mods, the only difference I've noticed since the stealth patch has been a 10MB increase in RAM consumption. Now it starts up at about 101-102MB, it used to start at 93. The game runs the same for me. If there was a way before to make it run with Steam off, it would have been great. That thing eats resources like I eat pie. It can get up to 50MB after the startup peak, and stays at about 25 when the game runs. Considering I've got about 600-700 MB of free memory, compared

By any chance, have any of your horses killed a dragon? I could swear mine did. I wasn't near him, Lydia was stuck in a rock, the dragon had almost no HP left, and then BAM! Horsed to death. Also, since I'm running on below system specks, I'm not sure how the physics are supposed to work. Whenever I go down a hill, on hors, if there are any rocks, there's a chance the horse will lift off and die on impact. Also, while I was in the mountains, I was jumped by a pack of w

Fallen Enchantress is the expansion/sequel to War of Magic. You will get if for free if you preordered or bought War of Magic in 2010. The beta test for it will start around the end of the month or so, December maybe.

You can also add obscene system requirements to the mix. I know I don't have the brightest PC in the bunch, but I can run Skyrim, yet H6 refuses to even run, due to not liking my video card. A friend of mine is as big a fan of the series as I am, and he told me they basically ripped the soul out of the series with this game. On a personal note, I hate the world they came up with. Ashan is the most Warcraft ripoffiest thing I've ever seen. It lacks any kind of creativity. Sure, the Mum

I would add: Don't charge full prince for a game who's ending you'll release as DLC a year after launch. Electronic Arts has done this a few too many times in recent years. Does anyone else miss expansion packs? Then there's also: Let me own the game, and play it how I want to, without fear of permanently loosing access to it, due to "errors" Again, it's something EA's been doing for a while. But Steam also has that power, with the all bans are

In their defense, The Witcher 2 also looked like a bad console port on release day. Also, unlike Rockstar games, this one doesn't run in an emulator. I can vouch for that, since I'm playing it at half the minimum system requirements. But if you think the animations are bad, try going down hill on a horse, the physics will make you reevaluate your definition of bad.

Considering I've been playing it on the lowest setting, I'm not really that pleased with how the armor pieces look. I still miss the Redoran armor from Morrowind, now that looked awesome on any detail.

From what I've understood, FE will be available through Stardock's new download service to everyone who bought War of Magic last year.

Morrowind had some kickass graphics for it's time, it made my Pentium 2 go crazy. Skyrim does the same to my Athlon 64, so they match up regarding that. I honestly liked the introduction to Morrowind better, it's probably the fastest intro an Elder Scrolls game has ever had, 2 minutes and you're playing it. Skyrim's dragon attack was cool and all, but it felt too much like a cinematic. Fighting mechanics are better in Skyrim, especially if you want to play a mage. &nbs

Right then, as it turns out, if I disable just about everything on my PC(explorer included), the game will actually run. Although I think it works with those active as well. Slowly, very slowly, those 90MB of occupied RAM build up at a rate of about 10-20KB per second, to about 100MB, and then it enters the menu. On the lowest setting, the game runs better than expected. Honestly, at this level I fail to see any difference between the Creation engine and the old Gamebryo engine. The rocks sti

Against better judgment, I installed Skyrim today on a PC that is below system requirements. Initially, I was hopeful, since the game recommended medium settings, and the options in the launcher were almost identical to the ones used by F3 and New Vegas. Sadly, the game gets as far as the Bethesda logo, after that, the Skyrim sigil shows up and it just hangs there, forever, not loading until the end of time, using about 90mb of ram and 99% of a poor singlecore processor. <

I change my password to something I can't remember, just to be safe. Although, that Steam guard thing is quite useful on it's own. I'm probably more safe than most, since I never actually used a credit card to buy all my games. This is probably just me seeing conspiracies everywhere again, but why hasn't there been any serious attempt to break into Xbox Live?

Did you find the wife that turns into a zombie? That's just as creepy. The demon one is hot though.

I hadn't realized just how many toolbars got installed over the months until I booted up IE by mistake a while ago. It was crammed packed with all sorts of stuff. Since I use mostly Opera(that hates toolbars), I never noticed all of those.

It figures that the time I get a review copy of a new Elder Scrolls game, the PC goes up and dies. I'm going to try and run it on this thing, but I doubt it'll run. Kinda makes me wish it was made on the old Gamebryo tech, that actually ran on a cardboard box filled with hamsters.
