Saw a post on reddit (don't have a link atm) that claimed the pirated copy was not ripped optimally, so the graphics suffered a hit as a result. Not sure how truthful it is, but it could account for some of the complaints - though I've heard it looks great regardless.

hehehehe :woot: bad textures ?cause a bad rip??? absolut rubbish!!!

And of course it looks great :ike:

Found it:

"The PC version also gets higher res textures, larger render modes, and a bunch of other effects you can scale up if your machine is a beast."

Bethesda Forums

That was beyond obvious!

I wonder if they will finally incorporate some sort of first-person legs into the game. It's really stupid that a lot of triple A game developers disregard them when they add so much immersion. It seems silly, but something simple like that, done properly, can make a game for me.

I'll eagerly be awaiting a version of MMM for this game. That particular mod makes Oblivion and Fallout 3 so much better. I especially loved all the varieties of zombies in Fallout 3. Sadly though it probably won't be out for a year or more though after the games release considering both the Oblivion and Fallout 3 versions are still being worked on. :s :laugh:

Success!!!!!!!!

I've been grinding blacksmithing over past few days, finally got to 100% and have the ability to make Dragon Armour now. Sorry for the crap picture I don't have any capture equipment to hand:

That's Dragonscale Armour the Light equivalent of the Heavy Dragonbone Armour. Supposedly the strongest armour in the game. I can also create and upgrade any weapons to 'Legendary' status now. I love this game.

Review copies have been out for a couple of weeks now. Plus I pre-ordered mine months ago.

Review copies have been out for a while, but it's a little too unusual for a couple of people on Neowin to start posting their progress conveniently after there was a leak. :p I don't buy it, but I'm not fussed either way. I'm jealous. :rofl:

oddly enough i actually did...grabbed it off amazon this morning after playing it for the last few days...they deserve the cash

Totally, just reserved an awesomely overpriced copy at my local games shop for the equivalent of USD $120, but what the hell, that game worth every penny :yes:

Been playing it for 3-4 hours and I'd say it's game of the year or at least a strong contender for game of the year hands down, this game deserves to be bought by everyone :D

That is quite the ironic statement, considering you pirated the game.

Just got done with this months gameinformer, not happy that Skyrim's review wasn't in it. Yeah it's embargo is up on Thursday but Skwyard Sword's goes up Friday and that review was included. maybe they just couldn't decide between the two on the game of the month so they split them.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      This seems backwards. You should have to explicitly authorize files for outside use. It shouldn't be the default.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Wow you are right, I never even noticed this until you said it! (870E Aorus Master) Before testing this card I had a TP-Link tx401 10GbE PCIe card in that slot (now using XikeStor 310 Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter).

      Lack of 5.1 makes this a no sale. What I really wish creative would make would be a USB version that supports 5.1 analog audio for speakers, can switch to headphone mode, and matches the specs of their top tier cards. The current X870E AMD motherboards dont have a great option for adding a PCIE x1 card without cutting down pcie lanes to the graphics card.
    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot by Usama Jawad I have been actively using Microsoft Word for the past couple of decades in academic, professional, and personal capacities. Although I used it through the perpetual version of Office apps at the start, I have been an active subscriber of Microsoft 365 Family subscription for over five years now. This means that my Word installation is regularly updated with new features, some of which I don't really like, but that's beside the point. As new features get continuously added, old ones that used to be a staple of Word have started to take a backseat. While I was reminiscing over my Windows experiences from my childhood today, I suddenly remember one such capability that I heavily used in my younger years but have not really touched in over a decade, and haven't seen in documents created by others either. That feature is WordArt. Just to clarify, WordArt is not a Microsoft product specific to Word, and is included in other Office apps like PowerPoint and Excel too. However, Microsoft Word is the app that I used Word Art in heavily, while making assignments or other deliverables for school. If you're unaware, WordArt offers a collection of styling techniques for text, introducing 3D effects like shadows and reflections in the text. It used to be one of the coolest things ever when I was at school and me and my classmates would often compete to ensure that our assignment's title in WordArt was truly the best and stood out above the rest. See some examples of WordArt, still present in the latest versions of Word below: Although WordArt is undeniably cool, it has taken a bit of a backseat, and has been relegated from the Home tab to the Insert toolbar, along with a bunch of other utilities, making it very easy to miss. This isn't exactly surprising because WordArt doesn't really have a place in academic and professional documents anymore, and while I have seen some creatives using it while developing promo material, even that sector has gravitated more towards dedicated graphic designing tools in the past years. For the vast majority of us, WordArt doesn't really exist, and that's alright. At least, it's still an option that can allow us to reminisce our childhood or even make some quick text stylization, if we really need it. Perhaps its usage has waned over time or the novelty has worn off, but I haven't even seen children use it in their academic assignments anymore. In fact, many don't even know that it exists. Maybe that's the fate of every beloved feature. What once felt cutting edge eventually becomes a relic, quietly tucked away as tastes, trends, and technology move on. WordArt may no longer dominate school assignments or decorate the covers of classroom projects, but for those of us who grew up with it, it remains a colorful reminder of a time when making text glow, bend, and cast giant shadows felt like the height of creativity. Hidden behind a few clicks in modern Word, it still survives not as a productivity tool, but as a small piece of computing nostalgia that refuses to disappear.
