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.

Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days.

      WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it

      By fintechfooty · Posted

      i backup my files, incl keepass to my proton drive using Syncback which i paid for (thanks Warwagon!). they have a free version but i can't remember what it does and doesn't do anymore. anyways, it's really, really simple and easy to use. i also periodically keep backups of my keepass onsite especially when i've changed or added a password that is important to me. if you don't wanna spend time on the syncthing setup, get syncback. haha i even got my dad to use it for his backups to usb and he doesn't even need my help!!! (thank god!)
