Goddam, everytime I finish a quest I get four more in return and I'm not talking about the shitty fetch quests. I still can't beleve how huge this game is. There are also some strange quests, I like it. I seem to have been very lucky with this game. It runs great with heavy ini tweaking and mod usage, I don't have the dragons flying backward thing and the patch has actually given me some increased performance.
I also really like the main quest. It's not epic, I hate epic. It flows through the world as a red thin line, without being in your face. I'm also still amazed how the animations and voices are done whenever I see a unique/named dragon.
It's been a long time since I've been overwhelmed by a game, there's just too much to do. If my only major complaint is that books aren't marked as read, it must be a great game indeed.

How should Bethesda fix the PS3 problem since it's a HW problem? Add more RAM via a patch? This is what happens when a dev studio is forced to use all platforms when the game is obviously too much to handle.

I presume, it's possible to continue playing after completing the main quests?

Man this game is massive.... 70 hours and I haven't done a single enchantment yet. Got full Daedric Armor/Swords/Bow and 100 sneak/heavy armor. At this point is Enchanting even worth bothering with?

Anyone else found the Notched Pickaxe without knowing it's location beforehand?

The smithing tree isn't circular, despite its look, so if you take the "left" branch and end up at dragon smithing, you can't carry on clockwise to get to daedric - it doesn't work. You have to go count clockwise from the bottom. I agree, it's very not fun.

Ive finished Skyrim, Fallout New Vegas, Mass Effect 1&2 and most of other 2008+ rpg games on 360. No problems at all.
But I have to agree on mods and cheats. Ive modded hell out of morrowind back in 2002. houndreds of hours. Same with oblivion. Now I fell old and I only want to play games after years and years of fiddling with games on pc etc. |
Well, for me it is a sin. I never would've gotten past the first hour of Oblivion and F3 without mods. New Vegas was a bit better, but still needed tweaks. There were also quest problems before the game was patched, which you could fix with the command console. Skyrim is nowhere near as bad as Bethesda's previous games (it doesn't need mods anymore to become playable), but a mod here and there keeps the game interesting for me. Without them, I most likely would be bored by it by now (or too frustrated for not being able to find a decent amount of elven arrows to match my bow )
I think mods are a must in most large RPG's. Mass Effect doesn't matter because it's too short to become really boring. And then you have classics like Torment, where the story keeps things interesting, and you can't really get bored of them, even if you don't do any modifications.  Sadly, they don't seem to make them like that anymore.

They're getting to the point where it's difficult to keep making a more impressive game than yesterday and still using stone age technology. The next generation consoles should seriously have a high-speed port where they can insert a mid-life hardware upgrade package. I'm so fed up with these bloody consoles holding back technology.

It does make sense though as you need practice with heavy armor before doing ebony and daedric though the whole anvil shape might not have been very appropriate since there's no way to know that you have to progress "upwards" with how it's laid out. 
(I much prefer Ebony over Daedric though but both upgraded are fairly equal as is dragon armor though it's mostly just a extra but I believe the light scale version of the armor does outclasses glass armor just barely while the heavy bone variant loses out to daedric.)
(How you can actually even smith daedric at all and work with ebony with those crude forges - aside from possibly those two special forges - is a entirely different mystery but it works OK as is for gameplay.)
(Lore wise - and not that important to the game or anything but a fun fact maybe - Ebony "metal" is sort of the blood of Lorkhan or Aedric in origin - Akatosh and those - with Daedric armor being a sort of fusion with ebony and the soul of a greater daedra - not quite princes such as Mehrunes Dagon though - so a mix of Aedric and Daedric though the art of crafting it was lost ages ago, until now.  - should require a grand soul-gem in addition to the heart maybe? but that's just being picky.)
(But using a heart is a very nice touch and finding them outside of special merchants is quite a chore since there's very very few dremora around.)
(Where is the scamp, alit, clanfear and ogrim anyway, not to mention golden saints, dark seducers, vermai, winged twilights and morphic plus of course Xivilai in addition to Dremora. - http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Daedra )
(Then again there's a ton of creatures in the TES series, minotaurs would have been nice to see return as would centaurs and nymphs or even golems. - http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Bestiary )

Agh. The problem with going the light armour way with Smithing is that it deprives you of the superior weapons in the Ebony and Daedric sections, which outclass Glass stuff. Sure, you can find/buy Ebony/Daedric stuff eventually, but without those perks, you won't be able to upgrade those weapons anywhere near the level you could reach with Glass items.
For example, in my case, with 100 Smithing, 89 Archery (plus assorted perks) and some Smithing-enhancing gear, I can get a Glass Bow up to 130 or so attack power, but an Ebony Bow? Only 88. That essentially means I won't be able to find anything better than my legendary Glass Bow, except perhaps one that has a particularly powerful enchantment on it, and I can upgrade it to the same level.
Seems to me they could've thought this out better.

Is it just me though that was extremely let down by smithing? I mean i managed to get 100 at around level 20 or so and could craft the most OP stuff so i immediately got "bored" since i knew there would be no upgrades left in the game to allow any excitement from looting.
Personally when playing rpgs i care about 2 things. Character customization (perks / skills etc) and loot. And looting became void after that.

Why you make it a circle if it doesn't work like one? 
), and have been through a few gaming moments in my life. I can honestly say that Skyrim has to be one of the greatest games I've ever immersed myself in. Not without faults mind you (nothing ever is lol) but it does make me wish I was 20 years younger as the future looks very bright indeed
