the only thing ive come across is the giant sending me flying into the air. but you die in 1-2 hits early on anyway so doesnt bother me.

That's more to do with leveling. Some creatures may be too powerful for you at low levels. I've run into the sabre tooth tiger who owned me at level 12, I'm now at 14 but haven’t ran into one yet, however I’m sure it’ll be a battle.

I will get Skyrim when the patch will come out that'll fix some bugs

Visit this

Crazy Glitches:
The Nuttiest Skyrim Glitches - PC Feature at IGN

Take this from one who is actually playing the game.... I've yet to run into any show stopping bugs

BTW you can't get any game that doesn't have glitches, patch(es) or not

Anyway you keep waiting while I keep playing

there are just too many games out now

don't know which one's to get and which one's to play

Ok,i started playing Skyrim.

What?He cant run and move slow because he is overload?

mickey megabyte · 17 Nov 2011

yes - it's common in these sort of games that the carrying capacity of a character is limited. when you exceed that limit, the penalty is slow movement.

i'm not saying the whole idea of it is daft, it does make sense - a character can't carry 15 swords, 20 hammers, 18 axes, 15 suits of steel armour, 50 loaves of bread etc all at the same time, that would be crazy. I just wish the original limit was a bit higher.

lol but he can carry around 5 suits of armour about 10 weapons and about 50 potions! wish i could fit all that in my ruck sack! oh and not forgetting some dragon bones and a mammoth trunk!!

Honestly, some bugs are a bit annoying (such using a mouse in the Inventory menus at times). That, and to me the shadows look bad at certain times.

But, I wouldn't let some of the bugs keep you from playing it.

Overall, the game runs really well, and looks good. Nothing I would call game breaking, at least that Ive seen. And what issues there are, should be patched out.

Considering its not patched yet, its in very good shape IMHO. Ive seen far worse.
For example, Deus Ex HR was very problematic for me until after a few patches. Almost unplayable at first with a C2D every 5 minutes or so.

I would still recommend Skyrim, despite the flaws it has currently. It truly is a great game.

I can't imagine what this game will be like after some heavy modding.
Look at Oblivion Vanilla vs modded Oblivion (Hi-res textures etc) Its a huge diffrence.

Actually you can move, but you move like a snail. But at least in Skyrim you can move. In Oblivion you couldn't move if you were carrying too much

LOL

- I carry 2 two handed swords, 2 Axe, a mace, and a staff, or two

Armor wise I just use light armor and a couple of mage robes. Potions?... I've got a fair bit, but not enough

Yah it's a bit of a PITA but really it is good role playing. Build up your stamina to increase carrying capacity.

They took out some other role playing bits, a couple too many IMHO (I liked bartering for prices in stores! Don't miss having to repair armor though), glad they didn't remove EVERYTHING :).

31 hours into it, finished a 4 hour multi-part quest that looted over 5k in gold (half gold coin, half gold ore) along with some awesome adventuring. Still holding up great

got a TON og gold ingots and gems now, time to make and sell some jewlery for mad profit, though I may wait a bit till my speachcraft is higher.

Had my first game bug that cheated me. Tip: If you kill a dragon and can't carry the insanely heavy dragon parts back, atleast remove them and drop them to the ground before traveling to your home and back in case the stupid skeleton dissapears

Do you have Game Boy?

I've noticed that too but I just use the up/down arrow keys now. It would be nice to see this issue fixed.

Agreed. I've run into nothing show stopping or immersion killing to spoil the game...yet. Unlike that horrid of a game called Fallout New Vegas

Considering its not patched yet, its in very good shape IMHO. Ive seen far worse.

Fallout New Vegas?

For example, Deus Ex HR was very problematic for me until after a few patches. Almost unplayable at first with a C2D every 5 minutes or so.

I don't remember having any bad moments with the game myself, and certainly no CTD's like you did.

I would still recommend Skyrim, despite the flaws it has currently. It truly is a great game.

+1 Definitely agree

I can't imagine what this game will be like after some heavy modding.

Yeah I'd love to see a texture pack with this game, if it's anything like Oblivion, it'll be GREAT!!!

See my comments :)
