From what people said on here the horse mod sounds useful, not that I have one yet. They sound very unhorselike without it.
I also increase the FOV as I find it too narrow on my monitor. Might be different on a widescreen monitor.
I think the default is 60 which I find makes it uncomfortable to play. I think I changed it to 75.
I had another wander last night and loved standing at the top of a snowy mountain looking over a valley full of trees with huge mountains the other side. It's a very beautiful game.
It also breaks a couple of my smithing mods too. One plus side I've found from it is that the FOV for my 16:10 monitor is now set to 85 by default. No more having to enter the console every time I launch the game to change it!
On the down side, they added the stupid unskippable "Bethesda" logo back after I'd explicitly deleted it earlier. That annoyed me a bit and meant another trek into my Steamapps folder to remove it again.
I hate unskippable logos with a passion :(
Mr (Mrs/Miss/Ms?) Lucy said it crashes sometimes alt-tabbing. Dunno if he meant the same thing.
I've been carrying some spell tomes not realising they were for learning new spells. I've got 48 other books which I've picked up but haven't read. Dunno if I should bother to or not. A few have increased some skills and one added a new quest.
I don't have a chance to play for long at a time so I tend to pick up the books and think I might read them later. Probably using up loads of my inventory weight. I might drop them off somewhere and think about reading them later.
So far loving the game. About 5 hours in and am getting quite hooked now :D
Not that I have tried crack but I imagine it is every bit as addictive as this. I kept thinking "bed soon" last night and kept saying it til 2am. it's not a good game for decent sleeping patterns.
Up to level 7 at the mo. I'd probably say I'm a mate but I use my shield/Kellogg's Frosties sword (yes, I called it that) when I run out of Magicka. I should probably try other spells but find my dual casting fire hands can defeat most things I've come across so far.
Are soul gems just for recharging enchanted items? I don't think I ever got arouns to using them in Oblivion but seem to remember picking some up.
