Anyone know a cheap digital download option for this in the EU?

Steam is took expensive and boxed copies in Switzerland cost more than double what they did in the UK.

I've found greenmangaming but they have a problem with their payment system that won't accept any credit card or paypal I try to use :(

I wonder if I simply ignore magic, what would be the drawbacks? I mean... I intent to use swords, axes and arrows only. Unless I get into a Mage school, but only after I master all cited favorite skills (very later in the game).

You'll be perfectly fine. You'll probably want to do some alchemy to get health potions though.

I am convinced now Bethesda makes the most optimized games for the PC.

Agreed. My friend is playing this on a modern laptop (i5 and all), and it runs better than Oblivion did for him (also made by Bethesda, but a much older game).

I personally run this game on all settings in the settings menu maxed, and it stays at 60 FPS constant, and my 6950 is only at like 65-70% utilization.

Absolutely loving Skyrim! Of course it runs horribly on this laptop that has a 8600M GT 512mb but it runs beautifully on my desktop (GTX 260 896mb).

Compared to Oblivion or Fallout 3/NV its going pretty good. Have not encountered any bugs.

I have a bug...

I used a follower from the town you get the Golden Claw quest. I then released him. (Parted

ways option)

Anyhow, I was just given a new follower (Lydia) and she won't join because she says

I already have someone with me. Grr...

I'm having trouble once i've equipped a magic (shock for example) in my right hand I can't remove it. If I want to dual flame in both hands i can't remove shock from the right hand, what am I doing wrong?

What platform? On PC, you left-click to equip in your right hand and right-click to equip in your left. So if you want to dual wield a certain magic, you just click once with both.

I have a question in regards to the quest, Diplomatic Immunity. You are asked bring only the gear you need. You will then get your gear back later...but, what exactly do they mean by gear? I have at least 100 or more items on me...potions, books, keys, gemstones, ingredients...lol......do they just mean weapons and clothes? (if so, it should explain that maybe) . This quest needs some better explanation I think...I can drop my gear before hand...just a pain to drop all of that..haha.

For some reason I cant pick left-click for my mouse. If I do for say attack (left hand) the mouse stops working, I cant move it till I pick a different key to use.

Also to get into the College of Winterhold, I need to show that I can summon a "flame atronach" but cant figure out where to get that spell.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.

      Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.

      Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      By RejZoR · Posted

      Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
