Re: The Elder Scrolls V : Skyrim - Discussion Thread
9PM can't come soon enough....
As for performance looks like will be maxing this one too
Sad to hear that Crossfire ain't working yet for this, m sure though soon enough it will...
Also note those who play it with vSync off, can use “iPresentinterval=0†else it will lock the max frames at 60.
...though the game seems to scale well, if you look towards the bench mark, it is very CPU limited even at 1080p.

Its great to see how well this game has been optimized for the PC. Loving the game so far, I recommend playing this with a 360 controller, its much more natural.

Why don't you get yourself the X360 controller? Third-person perspective titles like these are a whole lot easier to play with a controller. It also retails for cheap these days. Many seem to have got one for under 1k INR recently.

Re: The Elder Scrolls V : Skyrim - Discussion Thread
Have a couple of those, but I like to play this on 1st person perspective. But its plain simple this GUI was a hasty port from consoles, Oblivion or Morrowind did not have these limitations. Keyboard shortcuts and mouse would be the best combo in this scenario.
Don't even get me start on the favorites
why can't I slot the favorites for quick equip?

Re: The Elder Scrolls V : Skyrim - Discussion Thread
Started the game. One hour into the game, it's been a mixed bag. Everything looks better, combat animations are fluid, spells look spectacular and NPC dialogues are much more natural.
However, there are some sore points. Big ones. First are the controls. How on Earth Bethesda can be so damn lazy?? It's just a blatant copy of console controls. I know 360 is lead platform (for whatever reasons), but come on !! How difficult can it be to implement A SIMPLE FOOKING MOUSE CLICK !!! Second is the sound. Everything is low. Very low. Dialogues are barely audible, and the ambient soundtrack is non existent. There's a fix for on board audio, but I have a sound card, and I would like to use it. What a bummer. My respect for Bethesda just went down two notches.

Re: The Elder Scrolls V : Skyrim - Discussion Thread
The game does work with Crossfire, I can confirm this. One 6970 with max detail, 4xAA and 16xAF gives me 24-30fps, and two yield 40-55fps.
Agree about the controls being lazily implemented, without any thought at all. Pretty ridiculous - Oblivion had far better control scheme. Takes four to five keypresses to switch between weapons.
Last gripe - you (at least I) cannot cast while carrying a weapon and a shield, have to go into the menu, switch one hand to a spell, and cast it, then go back into the menu, switch back to a weapon, and melee.
Kind of weird. I think I'll not be playing this one too long.

^^ You guys install the patch, mouse clicking is visibly improved.
Cranky: Yep I had the same gripe, but an easier way out is assigning favorites. Although I know its a lot of button clicking. Why couldn't they let us bind keys to favorites. Assigning an Xbox controller presets, to an RPG with a pretty robust inventory structure is dumb. Keyboard + mouse is married to this genre more then even FPS games.
All said an done, I loved the game, loved the sounds, and ambient themes. And its a massive world to explore and play through. And its Elder Scrolls
