    PC Is there really much difference between graphics settings?

    Interesting. I admit I am just seeking some comfort on this because I am at somewhat of a crossroads at the moment. I use my machine for many things other than gaming and for me all of those things are better achieved by using a Mac. Gaming is just its downfall. Unfortunately, and...

    PC Is there really much difference between graphics settings?

    That does look quite nice, but I'm not sure I'd ever have the time or inclination to install "over 150 mods" to achieve it.

    PC Is there really much difference between graphics settings?

    Hi there I've been playing Skyrim on a 2011 iMac running Bootcamp (not an emulator, but part of the hard drive is partitioned and actually running Windows 7). It's a great machine, but the graphics card is only an AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB. Now, this graphics card is actually more than...

    Why does Skyrim run with such poor performance on my computer?

    Cheers for the reply. I would get a video card but the problem is you can't install new video cards in these iMacs! It's rather annoying, but that's why I was wondering if there was any other way to increase performance via the system settings or whatever!

    Why does Skyrim run with such poor performance on my computer?

    *Apologies if this isn't the right forum but I couldn't find a technical queries forum or anything of that ilk!* I am playing Skyrim on my iMac (running Windows 7 via 'Bootcamp'). The machine has the following specs: Processor: 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 Memory: 4GB Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD...

    Why is the light armour that I forge so much better than heavy armour?

    I haven't got any perks for either Light armour or Heavy armour...

    Why is the light armour that I forge so much better than heavy armour?

    I should also say the set of Glass armour I forged also has higher rating than the Daedric armour! Is it the same situation with Glass armour? So basically if you have the highest smithing level possible and all perks, improved light armour is just better than improved heavy armour?

    Why is the light armour that I forge so much better than heavy armour?

    I have only just noticed this and I'm not sure why. Perhaps I don't really understand how the smithing system works. I have level 100 smithing and all smithing perks. I have a heavy armour skill of 83 and a light armour skill of 66. I just forged two full sets of armour and upgraded them to...

    Konahrik

    Do you find the Konahrik mask to be useful at all in combat? I've been wearing it for a while and so far I haven't found it to be very good. The only effect it's had is the healing power on a few occasions, but it did very little damage to my enemies. It has never summoned a dragon priest...

    Scariest experiences in Skyrim

    My scariest experience in the game to date was the whole journey into Alftand and eventually discovering Blackreach. Alftand was scary enough in itself, as it was the first Dwarven ruin I had been in to, and the combination of Falmer and Dwarven automatons was immensely creepy. But little...

    Sauron Armour Mod?

    Hi, Did a search but couldn't find anything. Google tells me that there was a Sauron armour mod available for Skyrim, but any links I can find are now all dead. Does anyone know where I could acquire this? Thanks in advance.

    What is your main weapon?

    I actually think the Ancient Nord Swords are probably the coolest looking swords you can get. 'Eduj' served me well for a while.

    What is your main weapon?

    Legendary Daedric Sword in right hand, fire or shock magic in left hand. I have a fairly one dimensional combat style as I have only ever really used a one handed sword and destruction magic. I've never dual-wielded weapons, never used a shield, rarely used a bow (although I do have a...

    How much gold do you have?

    Jesus christ! I thought I was doing well! I'm level 38 having played for about 70 hours. How on earth have you managed to amass so much gold? Especially in such a short time? Granted I've never actually done any hunting whatsoever, and although I'm level 100 smithing that is only so that I...

    How much gold do you have?

    Or, what is the most amount of gold you accumulated on any play-through? I currently have 95,982. For quite a long time at the beginning of the game I found it frustratingly hard to accumulate gold. I'm not really sure why. Now it's far from a problem. Since around level 10 I've started to...

    Your "wow" moments.

    My biggest wow moment was discovering Blackreach. Nothing could have prepared me for it. I very nearly shat myself.

    What level do I need to be at to conjure a storm atronach...

    Thanks for the replies fellas. The thing is, as the storm atronach spell is an expert spell, the only perk I can see that will be of any use is the 'expert conjuration' perk, which will cut the cost of the spell in half. But I need to have a 75 skill level in conjuration before I can get that...

    What level do I need to be at to conjure a storm atronach...

    Hi This is potentially something that could be ascertained with basic maths, but then I am not very good at maths... I'm currently at level 15. I have learned the conjure storm atronach spell, but I can't use it because it costs 279 magicka, and my maximum magicka is only 190 at present...
