im not saying that games wouldnt have issues i just didn't like that bug i saw in his screenshot with missing textures and i heard how the game was doing bad on the xbox and ps3 also especially on ps3 so its having issues across all platforms that was my concern

All I know is....

1- Skyrim took Game of the Year - Skyrim Takes Game of the Year 2011 for VGAs - IndustryGamers

2 - The game has had phenomenal success and record breaking sales - Some Skyrim Sales Numbers

Like I aid, you're entitled to your opinion, but for those actually playing the game, the record speaks for itself. And if you look through the 49+ pages here, it's been mostly about the game play, rather than the game bugs

Well to be truthful, "lag" is usually associated with on-line play, whereas stuttering is more of a local in-game thing. So technically speaking, non of us has had "lag" since Skyrim has no multiplayer mode

However we've all experienced "stuttering" or frame drops

So in that regards, I take it back, you are right (technically) - although lag and stutter means the same now, so maybe

Never got any stuttering, but did get a massive fps drop from 60 to 40 when I installed a graphics mod i downloaded, but quickly deleted it

its says on your specs you have a gtx 580, why would remove the mod? if i had that card id expect it to perform and then some. i have a gtx 260 and i throw everything at it and it doesn't disappoint.

I see occasional stuttering, but it seems to come and go quickly. For the most part, it's very smooth on my Core2Quad Q6600, nvidia 9800GT system. Skyrim defaults to medium settings, and I just slightly bump up the view distance for characters in advanced settings because I was getting shot at by bandits I couldn't yet see. Most annoying.

I'm pretty happy with it overall from a performance POV.

Well yeah I do the exact same thing, that's why i download mods that push the graphics more, but this mod made the character hair glow and mixed some textures in the trees, so removed it. If you want a real good mod go on that nexus forums and look on the top 10 for the flora overall mod, it makes all the flora in game 10x better, and i did not get any fps hit or performance drop. All my mods that i download are texture based, i even have a mod that ups the resolution for the chickens haha

vierasniper · Dec 21, 2011

Oh yeah i saw those chicken skins. However i find myself fighting more dragons than chickens lol

Arrow to the knee

Like I said before, this will become a pop culture thing now - Arrow to the knee

Skyrim's "Arrow in the Knee" meme didn't only inspire an epic dubstep anthem. It also inspired this tattoo.

I didn't see this coming..... Till I took an Arrow to the knee :huh:

In regards to the lag/stutter ...

Its a funny thing really with Bethseda games. Even more so, you can monitor your FPS, and in certain places get that slight stutter.
You can see it. You can feel it.

Yet ...
You'll be cruising along at a steady 60FPS (if using Vsync) without missing a beat.

For those who've played Fallout 3, New Vegas, Oblivion ... I think we are just used to it from thier games.

I hate to say it but its almost become like a Bethseda game "signature" (at least to me)
And although it is mildly annoying at first, its nothing game breaking.

But despite some bugs and issues, Skyrim is still a great game and I would certainly recommend even at the $60USD price tag.

That's perfectly said, and one I completely agree with. Yeah, it is a Bethesda game signature.

Another broken quest....

Spoiler Alert

OK, I've been given a task (The Shill Job) by the Thieves Guild to plant evidence in a house in Whiterun - Heimskr house.

Problem is I can't find the house, and it doesn't appear on the local map. In addition, there no map marker appearing for it.

The only possible explaination I can come up with is that the house was destroyed during the Stormcloak attack because I see what used to be a house in that area but it is now inaccesable and doesn't show on the map.

BTW Heimskr is the priest the Wind District of Whiterun, near a large statue of Talos and large tree. He's the one shouting his sermon.

Bottom line is I'm doing the Thieves Guild way after I did the cival war so that house is gone, yet it pops up as a quest from Vex in the Theves Guild, and is thus broken.

I'll see if I can reset this quest by asking for another shill job since these quest locations are generated randomly and post back.

The house is basically in front of him. Coming up the stairs, i think its on the right. I read the house does indeed become bugged after the assault. Your gonna have to use the console and use setstage to get past it.

sygnus21 · Dec 21, 2011

Yeah I said I know where it is, he problem is the house is destroyed in the battle for Whiterun. So..... if you get the quest from Vex after the battle, it's a bug as the house is no longer there - 6 crippled quests - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Message Board for Xbox 360 - GameFAQs

3-The Shill Job: Plant the Stolen Gold Ring in Heimskr's house in Whiterun.

--Heimskr is the Crazy Street Preacher in Whiterun. His house was destroyed in the battle for Whiterun.

Anyway what I did was go back to Vex and tell her I was quiting the job and then turned around and asked for another one. You get a quest failed, but...

vierasniper · Dec 22, 2011

you could have used setstage. ive done it before once, its not the end of the world.

Yeah I could have; I'm just not used to using the command console. In fact I've yet to use is for anything. I kind of feel like I'm cheating if I do. That's a me thing

Thanks.

MrNeeds · Dec 22, 2011

I've found a few Broken Quests myself, mostly misc quests, one main quest, any interaction with esburn and he doesn't initiate the correct line and start the quest/continue with the quest (which was quite gutting considering he is required to proceed with the dragon quests), i cannot do any missions for the thieves guild as brynjolf won't talk to me, whenever i try to talk to him, he says "hmm" and walks off, a random quest came up after i picked up an artefact saying speak to the jarl of whiterun, but it was mid quest doing the battle for whiterun, and now the right dialogue won't show up for that quest.

Overall, i used console to setstage for the main quest with esburn but the others i will just have to do without.
