I've interacted with (killed) some. Their textures were fine. Are you sure it's not a bright purple Argonian? :Y

I've just been doing a bit of googling and have only seen one other mention of missing textures like this. (EDIT: having re-googled with the correct spelling of "texture", i've seen quite a lot more mentions of it.) Oh well. I've seen surprisingly few bugs so far*, so i'll let it off.

 

*Although one of them was a pretty annoying one. When you escape the dragon in the opening sequence then get tasked to go to the little town and speak some woman, the woman didn't have the conversation option to advance the quest. I had to use the developer console to tell the game that i'd spoken to her otherwise the main quest would have been unaccessible.

Hmm. I just left the area to go and threaten someone, went back to tell teh Argonian and collect my payment, and the textures were working fine. Oddness.

Hey, it wouldn't be a Bethesda game if it didn't have such gameplay breaking bugs.

The Dark Brotherhood armour makes my Orc look really, really gay.

Oh God, your companions can die. I feel so guilty about running away and leaving Lydia (awful name, though) to face that bastard thing alone.

In addition to the Steam screenshot function (F12), Skyrim actually has its own screenshot key, mapped to "Print Screen" by default.

Thanks for that. Now if you could be so kind as to find out where it saves the resulting screenshots, i'll be ready to go.

It's almost certainly in your user folder.

 

C:\User\MrTrent\Skyrim\Screenshots or C:\User\MrTrent\AppData\Roaming\Valve\Steam\Screenshots or something

 

You can go find the actual location yourself though.

This is Marcus, the gayest orc in Skyrim.
EDIT: You may notice i named the files the wrong way round. If you do notice, you don't need to point it out 'cos i already know.

I didn't notice, so you wasted your time writing all that stuff.

He does look particularly bad. And not really 3D either. :/

Also: two belts??

Heh. Same here, and I picked a similar spot to take a screenshot from. And then you beat me to posting it.

 

In fact, I'm going to post it anyway. Let me find something to reduce the 5MB screenshot to something a bit more polite.

Here's Asdf, the sneaky, sniping Wood Elf, at around Level 15 or something like that, staring enigmatically at nothing in particular.

However, I won't be entering that city just yet, as I'm feeling the need to clean up a town that's having corruption issues. Or, at least, I'm going to join the Thieves Guild and see what happens.

I've visited all but two of the main cities now (the fact that I've still got 2 to go after what must be 20-30 hours gameplay is amazing when all I've been doing so far is intentionally trekking to the cities to see what they're like (though I have of course been getting distracted along the way)) and they're all distinctly different. Each has its own architecture and character and mood. Just like in Morrowind ^___^

They've really recaptured that sense of mystery and weirdness that Oblivion lost. And they've combined that with that graphical wonder that Oblivion had, that sense of awe when you breach a hilltop and see the view beyond.

Now spoilers. This first one isn't very spoilery, I just express delight about the manner in which one gets inducted into one of the factions:

The way you get inducted into the Dark Brotherhood is... wow :|

This one is a bit spoilery concerning the above (I describe it in full and outline my dilema):

Ok so after you kill the nasty orphanage lady for the kid, the next time you sleep you wake up in an abandoned shack and a lady called Astrid is there. She tells you that you stole a kill from the DB and must make amends. There are three prisoners in the shack with you, all on their knees, wrists bound behind their backs and sacks over their heads. You have to question them and choose which one to kill.

Ok, so, one of them is clearly nasty, one is kinda neutral and the other one is basically innocent. I could kill the nasty one without too many qualms but... I don't like the Dark Brotherhood. I mean, I enjoyed their quests in Oblivion but ... they are horrible. I loved the Morag Tong in Morrowind and in my mind the Dark Brotherhood are still my mortal enemies.

But! I could kill Astrid. And then the quest changes from 'join the dark brotherhood' (or whatever) to 'destroy the dark brotherhood. So Ok, that's more up my street. BUT... it's an extremely tough fight (I cheated to test whether it's possible before wasting what will inevitably be hours actually doing it). I'm not even sure it's possible with my character. And... even though I detest the DB, their quests do tend to be good. Will I be missing out if I don't do them? Ok so I'm now going to go spend several hours seeing if I can kill this lady.

Man, did it. Used a few scrolls I'd picked up somewhere to weaken/distract her. Still a tough fight.
