Even on low I'm getting slow speeds in open/populated areas. No different to high actually. Things slow down even further on ultra.

 

Display drivers are the latest AMD ones. Hmmm.

I tried it for 5 minutes Thursday and things were slow so I updated the drivers to see if that would help. Had some time to myself this afternoon but instead of playing the game I was trying to find out why it was running so badly :(

Turns out there are giant crabs in Skyrim. You'd be hard pushed to fit a house inside it, though.

I am now wearing a full set of Deadric Armour. I look cool.

I'm fully kitted out in Nightingale armour, which seems to be so good at blending with the shadows that I've managed to get sneak shots in on people standing five foot in front of me and looking straight at me. But I haven't taken a screenshot.

I backstabbed a dragon. Sleeping one. Snuck onto its back and stabbed it and it died :Y

Anyone else here with a 6870 or similar to compare? I dropped the res to 800x600, set high, disabled AA/AF and switched off Dolby Live encoding.

 

At the start where Ulfrich is on the block the FPS is about 26. Goes up a bit looking away from everyone and shoots up looking at the sky/ground.

I have a GTX 460 1gb. Your card is significantly better than mine. I can run it on a kinda mix of high/ultra and it rarely drops below the vsync rate of 60.

There's definitely something fucked for you.

Man, I didn't even think that would be possible. How did you get up there? Are you standing on it's back?

Yeah, I jumped on its back from that ledge behind it (while sneaked). I was totally expecting it to wake up when I landed on it. But it didn't. So I gave it a two-dagger backstab and hoped :D

I'm having trouble picking sides in the civil war.

Side 1, the Stormcloaks. Essentially just racists who don't like elves.

Side 2, the Empire. They broadly represent peace and harmony and everyone getting along and being on the same side, which I like. But they're controlled by the Thalmors who are dicks (and whom I murder every time I meet one). They banned the worship of Talos because he was a human, so they may be racist too.

I'm leaning towards 2 but only so long as it doesn't interfere with my personal goal of wiping out the Thalmors.

Anyone picked a side yet?

I sided with the the Stormcloaks (although for the time being that's in name only as, although i've joined up and been accepted, i haven't done any of the missions yet). I thnk saying they're just racists who don't like elves isn't really fair. They want independence from an aging empire that's fucked them over and been forced by a foreign power to ban them from celebrating their ancient heritage and religion.

Anyhoo, regarding armour. Deadric Armour requires Smithing skill of 90. Dragon Armour requires smithing skill of 100. Dragon Armour is not as good as Deadric Armour. Does this make sense to anyone?

I can't think why they'd make the light version of dragon armour better than glass armour, but leave the heavy armour variant as second best.

Although I probably would have stuck with my deadric armour anyway, as it looks way cooler and has matching weapons. The dragon armour does look a bit pants and having to still have my deadric greatsword strapped to my back would have made me look silly.

Stormcloaks: yeah, they really don't like Elves. Mind you, no-one seems to. I feel oppressed. On the other hand, the "Join The Stormcloaks" mission has a bigger font in my journal, so maybe that's a hint.

 

Empire: You've met a Thalmor? Not sure I have. Smaller journal entry font, so maybe I should go with them. Underdogs, and all that.

 

Basically, I've got very little interest in either of them, this time round at least (already planning to make a full mage character, maybe even a Nord one to see if that changes how I'm spoken to). As far as I'm concerned, it's a squabble in a land I'm not from. Why should it involve me?

You see the odd group of the fuckers walking about th wilderness from time to time. I always take great delight in telling them that i worship Talos and then i kill the fuck out of them. Dicks.

There's also a couple of them hanging aorund the Jarl's palace in Markath.

Oh. I've met a couple of groups of Daedra hunters, and a few Stormcloak and Imperial patrols, but I'm not sure about Thalmors. Though I do seem to find quite a few bodies lieing around, presumably caused by the bear that I have to kill just so I can go and loot the corpses.
