The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

look on fileplanet for skyrim mods, there's one that adds arrow crafting to the smithing menu

Question to all of you people with PS3 lag...

Are you on a 'slim' PS3? Mine is one of the 60g old school ones, and I have a 6MB+ save file. I see a couple of seconds of lag when I come out of the breezehome, but beyond that I don't lag anywhere.

kinda wierd i'm on pc but the only place my game lags is in Markarth, just wish i could figure out why putting any level of antialiasing (forced or application set) totally destroys my fps even with a 2gb gfx card :\

Mine was with Giants as well. A girl asked me for a mammoth tusk so I saw them out there with mammoths, I thought maybe they were ranchers or something. As I approached they turned to me and didn't make any moves so I figured they were NPC types and went up to go talk to one and was promptly volunteered for Skyrim's space program.

I have this myself, but I can't for the life of me find hawks for hawk feathers. Are they all in mostly one area of the map? Or am I just blind and they're all over the place and I just haven't seen one yet?

On another note, a bear humping an elk:

I think the lag shows up more the larger your save file gets mine is almost 10 meg atm. Now the questions is how can I lower the size of my save file maybe sell off all the items I have stored in my house lol. I have like 10000 pounds of stuff and enough ingredients that I been storing forever. Also maybe clearing any unfinished dungeons will help as well...

One bug I hope they fix is fast travel directly into a enemy place like robbers cove and watch your horse run in and get killed before you can react is just awesome sauce lol.

It seems like the newer and "shinier" a Bethesda game is, the worse they get as far as bugs go. Older games from them rarely had much wrong with them IMO, and if they did have bugs they weren't game breaking.

Dunno what all was wrong with Fallout, but it wasn't anything noticeable to me anyways. New Vegas was a damn train wreck. Almost every single quest had something wrong with it.

As for Elder Scrolls: Morrowind had very little wrong with it. Oblivion had a few things here and there but nothing too major. Skyrim seems like they didn't have a single person test the game beyond "turn on game > OOOH SHINY! WORKS GREAT! > release game". How the *** did nobody notice ***like 360 texture issues, or PS3 lag, or crap quests early on that just hang at a certain point that you can't progress past? Nobody testing the game mentioned anything that it just randomly shuts the *** off without even an error message? Or that wildlife would just randomly fly the *** away?

And then there's this recent patch that breaks more ***. God forbid we uncap the game from 2 gigs of ram right?

I can't help but feel like SE played a part in the creation of this game either... I mean why else would I break a pile of lockpicks on a master lock for 7 gold and a potato?

New Vegas wasn't Bethesda, it was Obsidian.

Oh?

Bethesda published it, Obsidian developed it.

Okay it's kind of dumb, but I absolutely love the conjure familiar spell, and I was wondering that even though it's an apprentice spell, does it gain significant power with a higher conjuration level, or does it remain laughably weak as you gain more power in the game?

I know there's a flaming familiar spell, but he's a suicide bomb more or less, and I can't help but absolutely love the ghostly wolf aiding you in battle. It's perfect for my magic hunter of sorts (Bound Bow, Conjure Familiar, Sneak etc.).

If anyone could confirm that for me it would be much appreciated, otherwise I'll go back to using real bows and just stick to wood elf's beast command. Though, I did read up and notice the expert spell Conjure Thrall works on wolves and they will stay with you indefinitely. Unfortunately it means I'd need to find a dead ice wolf or ideally saber cat to make it worth having as my pet.
Also having a summoned monster tends to piss off NPCs :(

The wolf familiar doesn't get the boost from the perk that makes atronachs 50% more powerful, or the one that makes reanimated corpses stronger, but twin souls perk works with all the creatures you can summon, so you can have 2 wolf familiars at the same time.

Then if you have the magicka for it, you can basically super carby kite a hard boss down by throwing wolves at it until it dies.

Edit: But to answer your question, no it doesn't get stronger as far as I know, you could get that stronger zombie perk with a reanimated wolf though :/

ding 100 Smithing! Made all of the dragon armor and a daedric sword. :3


And all of it was enhanced with +32% in gear and 20% from a potion.
