FYI: At Black-Briar Meadery in Riften, if you talk to Ungrien and choose "Tell me about Maven Black-Briar", you receive the option to Persuade. Repeat ad inifinitum to boost Speech

Just bought Skyrim, new, for £22 from GAME online. No idea why it's so low. I looked yesterday and it was £40.

I've not been following the game but it looks like it could be interesting. My one concern is playing it on an SD TV.
In my research, a lot of people have said the game is unplayable in SD while a few have said it is playable on their SDTV.
The rest of the replies boil down to "LOL SD TV!!".

I looked at a YouTube video of someone playing in SD and it all seemed easy to understand and read.
Anyone playing in SD?

Captain of Fun 12-07-2011 12:17 PM

LOL SD TV

El Fangel 12-07-2011 05:51 PM

Yes, small font is small.

James Diesel 12-07-2011 08:06 PM

uh-so very small :(

El Fangel 12-08-2011 12:07 AM

I planned on purchasing a nice flat screen soon and I think this might be what sways me.

Drakul 12-08-2011 02:10 AM

Like I said, I saw SD footage on YT and I could read the loading screen text pretty easily. It can't be that bad, can it?

I've been wanting HD for a while but I'm 23 and running my own house for the first time so I don't have the disposable income to spend £300+ on a new tv just so I can play games a little better on a console designed to be used on both SD and HD tvs.

I really think all games should be fully playable on either type of tv. It wouldn't take 5 minutes to have put in a text size selection. Rare patched bigger text in Banjo-Kazooie N&B after complaints so Bethesda can easily do the same though I bet they wont.

When they bring out Xbox 3 or PS4 and it's made solely for HD, fine but, when a console is designed for both SD and HD, that should be the case for everything about the console.

El Fangel 12-08-2011 02:30 AM

^ That. Thought my TV is kinda old and needs replacing anyways.

Tommy Gunn 12-08-2011 05:43 AM

Saw it on amazon for £22 last night, but thought I'd sleep on it before deciding to buy it, now it's £37. Son of a bitch!

Edit - one quick google search and gamestation are selling it for £22 inc delivery for Xbox 360. Hmmmm think this might be my xmas present to myself.

El Fangel 12-09-2011 01:11 AM

You had the chance to buy the game at half price and didn't?

D Mac 12-09-2011 02:15 AM

Dude, go to Rent A Center and get a TV. There's NO CREDIT CHECK!

LoDownM 12-09-2011 02:18 AM

Except in the long run you end up paying more for the TV from rent a center then you would just going to best buy and buying one.

D Mac 12-09-2011 02:39 AM

But then you'd have to wait if you don't have all the money up front. My 1080p 55 inch is here NOW. :p

Requiem 12-09-2011 02:44 AM

There are these things called credit cards D Mac. Best Buy has them too. They let you purchase things right away, and make payments over time until you have completely paid off the bill.

Same concept as renting, really.. except that you actually pay what it's worth, and you own it.

D Mac 12-09-2011 05:26 AM

lol why do you think I said NO CREDIT CHECKS. :p

James Diesel 12-09-2011 02:48 PM

Okay, so whoever has gotten the Sanguine Rose: Where did YOU find Sam Guevenne?

Searched high and low for the sneaky bastard. Bannered Mane? Nope. Bee and The Barb? Nope. Ivarstead? Nope. So on and so forth? Nope.

WHERE?!?!?!?!?

Edit: Found him in Windhelm

Bethseda says the v1.3 patch for the PC is available now while no news when the Xbox 360 and PS3 will get the same patch.

They did give a quick-fix help for the PS3 version's problem with saves.
Quote:

* "Turn off auto saves. This can cause temporary stuttering since the PS3 saves these files in the background. This is most noticeable with large saves when fast traveling to a new area or entering a new area that auto saves.

* Clear space on your hard drive. Skyrim makes heavy use of the hard drive, and freeing up space on here seems to help many people. Hard drive speeds also differ in PS3 models. Some users have reported increase performance by upgrading their drives.

* Waiting for time to pass. Many things are running in the world depending on what quests you've done or places you have visited. Using Wait or Rest options, passing time will clear up some of these. It depends how long you wait, it may take up to 30 days for some items. Saving, resetting, and loading after this will have the largest effect."

El Fangel 12-09-2011 08:00 PM

What exactly is the save problem?

LoDownM 12-09-2011 08:01 PM

From what I've seen when my sister plays on the PS3, it causes horrible framerate issues.

SlickyTrickyDamon 12-09-2011 08:25 PM

I need to find another token to the fortune teller I either dropped it or I sold it. Usually you can't sell items that are based on a mission.

Every save is a file and apparently it's big for the ps3 version.

El Fangel 12-09-2011 08:47 PM

Autosave keeps creating files for me on 360 and it gets slow at times. Thanks.

Emperor Smeat 12-09-2011 09:00 PM

Once a save goes over around 5MB in size, it starts to cause a lot of graphical and gameplay problems due to how the RAM in the PS3 works differently than on the Xbox 360 and PC. Auto-saving on the PS3 manages to make a bunch of those files way too large than what the PS3 or the game is actually expecting but since its more of a PS3 issue than a game engine issue, it will take them a lot longer to get a patch finished.

Its not as bad on the Xbox 360 due to it sharing a lot of its structure with the PC although most of its problems are related to graphical loading glitches.

You should only have 3 auto saves. I turned off all the auto save options except for when fast traveling. Auto saving on menu got annoying, would always lag the menu.

Consoles eat dick. All the dicks. Use a fucking PC like anyone over the age of 16.

James Diesel 12-10-2011 12:35 AM

Does it matter which artifact you get from Azura for the achievement?

Gaming isn't important enough to me, to spend the money on a PC.

Faggot.

The fuck are you typing on now, moron? Your fucking phone? If you're going to buy a PC, why not buy one that's decent. They don't cost that much anymore.

James Diesel 12-10-2011 03:20 AM

Oblivion Walker is obtainable if you fuck up on one and only one of the quests. Bug exposed

He couldn't possible be using an older computer now could he? Everyone goes out and spends 500+ bucks on a computer just to post on internet forums huh?

Requiem 12-10-2011 03:34 AM

$500 is not a lot considering the many uses a PC has compared to the very few uses something like an Xbox has. Especially when that $500 buys you something that is far more technologically advanced than an xbox.

LoDownM 12-10-2011 03:36 AM

That isn't the point here.

Actually that's the exact point. On the nose, straight to the point.

Drakul 12-10-2011 03:59 AM

Consoles and even phones can do anything a PC can do. Internet, MSN, email, Facebook, YouTube, music, movies, games.

If you bought a 360 at launch for £300 you are set for gaming for at least 5 years.
If you bought a PC at the same time for £500 you were set for gaming for 2 years, then you had to go upgrade which cost you even more money. You already spent £200 more than the console gamer and now, to keep up, you need to buy upgrades. I'm not sure how that's a good thing and considered superior to console gaming.

#BROKEN Hasney 12-10-2011 03:35 PM

Oh god, does anyone want to buy a GFX card? I don't want to play on PC anymore, I'm scared I'll catch douche.

#BROKEN Hasney 12-10-2011 03:37 PM

Only kidding, I surpassed douche years ago. I'm just a cunt now.

James Diesel 12-10-2011 03:42 PM

Oh sorry. I was looking for the Skyrim thread. Must've stumbled into some Tech bullshit. My bad
