No limits on them, theres a cooldown timer at first it's 15 secs before you can 'shout' again.

You are limited by the shouts you find in the world, not that many will be found during the mainquest, most are from sidequests or random exploration. And then you actually need the dragon souls to 'activate them' and taking on a dragon is actually quite hard, atleast it is for me as a mage, takes a lot of potions. Of course now I've found some better spells giving me boosts to armor etc, so maybe the next one will be easier.

How often do you encounter these dragons? If I remember correctly they said it's dynamic and not scripted.

There are scripted encounters and one of these is especially interesting Smile
But yes they will also come at you when you're just running around being an idiot.

Does the game support CF/SLi at all?

Thank you

I really like the imperial 'gestapo mages' which seems to be a faction not described anywhere as of now.
I'm taking great care not to spoil anything essential.
Theres a few of these places like in Oblivion with the black soul gems, in that at some time during the day or night at a certain time depending on the stars or the moons certain stuff can be crafted or enchanted with interesting things Smile
The wabbajack makes a return as well as do other godly items.
So Much Win

1 week to go.
And guys, calm down a little ffs, after all we'll have MW3 to look up to until then.

Is it easy to multiclass? I've seen that you only get acess to certain percs depending on the class you choose. That means the game really pushes you into one class, whereas other elderscrolls Games really let you make your own class as freely as possible.

This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

Don't know about crossfire or sli, I'm playing with a 6950 on the 11.10 catalyst. It sometimes crashes to desktop, once every other hour or so for no good reason and it will crash if you alt-tab as well.
The launcher has some problems with detecting the right settings so I had to customize mine or I would be stuck on high preset at 1280x800 resolution.

But you aren't playing final build, are you? There's a chance the crashes will be fixed in final build or in day 1 patch.

Thats very true. It autosaves every 15 minutes or so though, so I haven't really lost any progress as such due to crash.

What about FPS on your system? Do you get at least 40+ fps?

So one 6950 can handle the game fine at the highest possible settings? It's quite promising then. Good to know, cheers for the info!

I think it's ok don't worry. I had not played any of the TES games before Oblivion and yet I loved it. And I still do. Smile

Sarcastic? Razz I did not mean that he should not care about the story. Of course the story is/should be an important element of the game but, as far as I know, each TES game has its own story.

That together with recorded video I won't do, the person who has been kind enough to provide me with this build knows of this board. And has explicitly told me not to do either of that before the 11.11.11 date. I do have quite a few nice shots which I can make available on that date though.
It is not due to me being a moderator here that I got access to this, but due to my job Wink

EDIT:
ON FPS, I'm averaging 56-60, I do have vsync on so thats why it won't go higher. I dislike tearing.

Nice info Epslion, thx a lot. The fact that you don't complain at technical stuff AND at the same you're time playing June build is a good sigh that it will not be technical piece of crap.

No SSAO. Theres anti aliasing, transparency multisampling, depth of field, anisotropic filtering, bloom, hdr and some other standard stuff. Textures come in Low, Medium and High. I have them at high.
