Oh my oh my. It's been a while hasn't it? lol
As far as dragons go... fuck em. I'm constantly being dogged by the goddamned things now, and I haven't even advanced the story past getting that horn the greybeards want.
Funny story though. As I'm ascending the mountain to the greybeards' monastary, I hear that tell-tale sound of an incoming dragon. And since I'm on a mountain with no cover, I instantly crouch (sneaky character, lol bow ftw!) and hide, allowing it to continue attacking the town below. Continuing along the path, no longer in sight range of the town or dragon, I run into one of those ice-elementals (their real name don't matter) that's fighting a ice-wolf, they both ace their 'find the player' checks and come running at me. I easily take them out with my bow. And three seconds later the dragon's on top of me blowing frost, proceeds to land immediately then insta-kill me.
So, note to bethesda. Player having insta-kills = time saver , enemies having insta-kills = cheap funkiller.
Game is awesome though, lot of little things that I would have rather had differently, but a. their not that important they ruin the game, and b. mods can fix this.
Oh oh OH OH, FUCK ME. This is the last one I swear, or I'll be here all day. Anyone else have a dragon corpse inside a city that just wont FUCKING GO AWAY? There's one in winterhold that's been there since very shortly after the first story-line dragon kill, it origionally died in front of the companions' building, but the corpse has migrated down to the town gate and is constantly freaking out bouncing around now. Persistant corpses is kind of a nice touch, but this is god-awefull rediculous. I'd appreciate it if someone knew, and would tell me the console command to get rid of a corpse.
It's not a glitch...it's the townspeople dragging the thing all over the freaking place, trying to find somewhere to get rid of it...
Skyrim is still buggy as all hell. On both questing and hardware issues. It's understanble given the shear size of the game that there are quest bugs. And hardware bugs are always common.
But there shouldn't be any hardware problems on consoles, EVERY 360/PS3 IS THE SAME, for the most part that is.
Honestly though, the game's been runing pretty well on medium settings for me. I've been getting crash to desktop problems since the beginning, but it seems that the longer I play the game, the worse they get. It no longer crashes to the desktop, just freezes and if I don't open the command prompt quick enough and kill the process, the entire comp follows suit. The unfortunate problem with diagnosing this is that I've also been plauged by "stutters" where the game will freeze for a moment or two while it's rendering stuff (so horrible for over-land travel) and then go again fine afterwards.
I've seen people claiming it's a problem with the game's sound...
There are only two possibilities, first is that bethesda reeeeeaaaally fucked up on their coding and somehow sound has become so high priority that if it can't be processed correctly it locks up the comp instead of just being ignored. I'd think that the update they had released would have fixed this, seeing as that is an gigantic problem only an idiot would make and should have the highest priority of being fixed.
The second and more likely IMHO, is that the people claiming this are retards. Having seen a single general problem, they decided that it was the only thing that could possibly be causing their woes and decided to start a campaign of idiocy against it.
On a different aspect about Skyrim: Can anybody explain to me why several types of armor feature bare upper arms? That's not only a glaring weak-point, it also doesn't make any sense because the majority of Skyrim is frozen over, i. e. it's fucking cold. Why are people running around in the equivalent of t-shirts and gloves?
I keep seeing a splash-screen of a katana, and I want it. Anyone know where this item can be found? I think it's a daedra artifact because it comes with some text about a daedric prince, but I forget which.
And lastly, FUCK DRAGON ARMOR. For a heavy armor char, it's useless, daedric armor looks cooler and has better stats, what gives? It takes 100 blacksmith skill to get it, so why the hell isn't it better than daedric that only takes 90? If I'd known, I would have never spent the perk on it.
