I'm so amazed. The system requirements for this game are a 2 ghz processor and 512 mb video memory... ect.

My laptop (Asus EEE 1215B) has a dual core 1.6ghz (AMD E-350) processor and 8 GB memory (400 mb shared for video card). It runs Skyrim almost smoothly at medium... (I changed texutures to low quality and it's smooth now) The game is beautiful... and I'm still amazed that I'm able to play it at all... wow!

I dread to think what the textures look like on low. They look bad enough on Ultra :p

I think you can't put textures on Ultra... My Macbook Pro 2011 17" doesn't have that option for textures (High is the maximum). I wonder if it is only me?

I can't see Steam Workshop offering us similar or better features than Wyre Bash coupled with a mod manager can offer. Obviously, with heavier mods, there are many factors to take into account with extra scripting possible incompatibilities. TesNexus already has its own tool now that, by the time Construction Set is out, will have just as many features as Oblivion Mod Manager did, except with automatic updates and one click downloading and importing.

As for the 1-in-87 chance supposedly, I think that it will be a much more open platform, seeing as Valve has to regulate the hat economy and balance of Team Fortress 2, since it is online.

That being said, if they manage to pull off a seamless integration that can reliably counter the many problems that Bethesda modding has, it could definitely useful. At the very least it will be useful for texture modding and what-not.

Will be buying the game when I get home, any recommendations on mods (gfx related) ( if any ), or recommendations at all relating to to do I game. Never played oblivion, just a little bit of mass effect ( got bored after freeing that one person in the cell )

As far as mods go, check skyrimnexus.com and look at the most endorsed.

Nothing much beyond textures are releasing right now, as the construction set which allows major editing of the game has yet to be released.

The construction set has been confirmed for January, and STEAM will start hosting Mods. Pretty cool stuff.

As for what mods to use... I've started a video series showing off how the game looks with the mods I

have installed. Check Sig.

Also, screenshot of my mods:

Quest Items remain in the inventory even after the quests are completed :/ . Rjorn's Drum and Pantea's Flute are no feathers.

Quest items do not actually add any weight. They have weight listed, but they don't do anything. That being said, they can be annoying for organization, so if you're on the PC you can use the console to remove them.

I really don't like the inventory system on the PC. I've got to level 31 and I've got so many question items scrolling through them all is a tad annoying.

Even if I question the whole design, they are missing some important things as it is. They should have shown weight and have a entry (like favorites) that sorts on heaviest first. Would ease up finding those heavy things to loose first when you are close to weight limit. Also when picking up notes/books and stuff like that, they should have an entry that only shows the latest picked up items so you very fast can find that thing you picked up, even good to find those junk items you picked up by mistake when aiming for that potion.

to late to ask ( because i just bought it ) but will the mod manager and mods work with the Steam Digital Version ?

Quest items do not actually add any weight. They have weight listed, but they don't do anything. That being said, they can be annoying for organization, so if you're on the PC you can use the console to remove them.

The Bard School's quest items which I have already mentioned above do have weight. Ditto for some useless journals which I already delivered to the Ragged Flagon waiter but still lies in my inventory.

yeah, there's a lot of quests that a) break if you find the item before having the quest (e.g. bard's college flute) b) leave the quest items into your inventory after completing the quest (still marked as quest items so you can't drop them off without pulling up the console).

well, been playing it for couple hours ( just stoped ) and before i hit lvl 5 i got infected with the vampire disease.... so had to run around finding a cure disease potion. first cave i ran into that wasnt quest related, and it was a vamp cave ( cave was named after somebodys shame ) was when i was enroute to the grey beards.

yea you all were right, fast travel. i didnt feel like running back Down the mountain, at least i had/have a horse. but still took a long time to get there

also added some mods after playing for a bit without. so far its awsome. kinda like to get out of Imperial Heavy Armor though.

If you get infected you can also cure it by going to a temple and activate the altar to get blessed and cured. It's good to have a one or two cure disease potions with you when adventuring though.

Its kind of annoying that when you die and your weapon falls to the ground people complain about you "leaving your trash on the ground".

I also just killed the Old Orc along the road who asked for a good death; right before I was about to kill him, he surrendered saying "I submit!" ...

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release by Usama Jawad Windows 11 typically follows an annual update cycle, but Microsoft recently broke that tradition a bit by releasing a "26H1" version in the first half of this year as a "scoped" build for select new silicon PCs only. This version was not available for customers using 24H2 and 25H2 builds, as Microsoft is busy preparing version 26H2 for them, confirmed officially for the first time. In a Windows IT Pro blog, Microsoft has urged IT admins to prepare for the upcoming release of Windows 11 version 26H2. The company has confirmed that this will be a small enablement package (eKB) that will simply light up certain disabled features that are already present in the operating system's code base. This means that the "refined" Windows update and deployment experience will be simpler and quicker, with minimal disruptions, as the feature update will simply toggle a few flags rather than performing a complete replacement. Microsoft has explained that this is all possible because the standard Windows 11 releases share the same servicing branch and hence, the same source code. However, this also means that Windows 11 26H1 users won't be able to upgrade to 26H2 as that is a different branch, but this is something we have known for a while now. Similar to previous annual feature updates, Windows 11 26H2 will offer the following support cycles: 24 months of support for Home, Pro, Pro EDU, and Pro for Workstations editions 36 months of support for Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise, and Enterprise Multi-session editions Microsoft has not confirmed a concrete release date for Windows 11 26H2, but noted that it is "coming soon". If we go by the ongoing release cadence, we can expect it to begin rolling out in early October 2026. As such, IT admins have been encouraged to begin validating Windows Insider releases in the Experimental Channel, plan rollout rings, and strategize the utilization of their existing deployment tools.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds by Taras Buria Today's Experimental builds (26H1 and Future Platforms, formerly Canary) pack several audio-related improvements. If your device is enrolled in the Experimental Channel (26H1), you can download build 28120.2315, while those in the Future Platforms version have build 29613.1000 to try. Here is what is new in build 29613.1000: [Audio] Following up on our previous improvements, we’re making some more adjustments to Settings > System > Sounds based on your feedback. Namely, we’ve updated the “All sound devices” page so: You now have the ability to change default devices from this page. Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing. We’ve adjusted the page design slightly so now you can filter whether you’re viewing input or output devices. We’ve added toggles so you can choose if you want to hide or show disabled, disconnected, and unplugged devices on this page. We’ve also updated the input and output audio properties page for devices in Settings to now include jack information for those that need it. And here is the changelog for build 28120.2315: This update includes a small number of minor bug fixes and improvements. [Accessibility] This update improves caption style responsiveness by redrawing captions immediately for caption style changes. If no current caption is visible, a sample caption string is displayed. [Audio] This update improves the reliability of the inbox HD Audio driver. You can find the official release notes for build 28120.2315 here and for build 29613.1000 here.
    • I agree with what I think you are saying, just not in the way you are saying it. Like any tool, the amount it represents your work is perorational to the effort you put into it. It is similar to why 2nd grade math students learning to add and subtract are not allowed to use calculators, but a high-school calculous student is. For the 2nd grader, that tool would completely replace the work they are doing, for the calculous student the same tool allows them to work far more effectively while in no way replacing their effort or knowable. If you spend 30 seconds writing a prompt, then the image that comes out is no more "yours" than if you found the same image with a Google Image search. However, many of these generative tools also support highly iterative processes that allow back and forth, and merging generated images with photos or human created images. I am sure you would agree that a human spending hours of time working on a project, even if AI was involved in the process, still reflects that human's work.
    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build by Taras Buria Friday Windows 11 preview builds are here. Insiders in the Experimental (formerly Dev) and Beta Channel can download builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690. There are no new features, but Microsoft is officially moving the Experimental Channel to version 26H2. In addition, Microsoft is improving the copy dialog in File Explorer, the Start menu reliability, and fixing virtualization issues. Here is the changelog: [General] With today’s build, Windows Insiders in the Experimental channel will see the versioning updated under Settings > System > About (and winver) to version 26H2. For more information, see the Windows Insiders blog. [File Explorer] We’ve improved the visual consistency and reliability of the Copy dialog in Dark mode, including its launch experience and the expanded progress view. [Start menu] - Also available in Beta Improved reliability of Start menu reflecting newly installed or removed apps without requiring sign-out or restart. [Taskbar] Fixed an issue for Insiders using the new smaller taskbar option, where the system tray might get cut off or pushed off screen. [Settings] - Also available in Beta Improved reliability of Settings > Apps > Startup. [Virtualization] - Also available in Beta This update addresses an issue that could result in bugchecks citing HYPERVISOR_ERROR (0x20001) and KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (0x1E) errors after installing the latest flights on some devices during system restarts, virtual machine operations, or while running some gaming applications. You can find the official changelog for the Experimental build here and for the Beta build here.
    • I've always preferred this possibility. There is something that feels good about the idea that all matter in the universe will eventually come back together and maybe even result in another big bang. The idea that the universe would fizzle out over the eons and forever drift apart is a little depressing. I realize it is not logical to let a basic human desire for life to have a grand everlasting meaning change the way I feel about a scientific theory, but I am human, so that is how I feel :-).
