Anyone do most of the Companions quest line?

Not sure how to phrase this without giving anything away for those who haven't but ...


I feel a bit silly....
I was getting near the end of the main companion quest lines before I even realized I had a daily power from helping them

That & Im not sure if I should keep it or not.
What did everyone else do? just curious

i had also forgotten about it, but it kept it. i hardly use it tho. between the shouts and all that jazz you forget about it. i remember using recently to clear out some witches.

 

[sygnus21]

LOL - I didn't know there was a daily power from them. Anyway I finished the quest but didn't join the circle.

 

[smarteyeball]

, and have had only one game freeze trying to blast open a magical door. I still haven't had the purple texture bug,

I really should learn to keep quiet - I've joined the CTD and purple club now, lol.

And one things that's bugged me since oblivion/Fo3/NV - in all of these 'deserted/filled with animals or dead things' - who the hell keeps lighting and replacing the candles?

 

[Airbot]

Wow, look at that!

An official LAA!

We’re also planning on rolling out support for 4-Gigabyte Tuning (Large Address Aware) next week for our PC users. Stay tuned!

Wonder what happened to that newer update supposed to come out this past week...that didn't.


Guess that answers that:

Update is still in testing. Once we can make it available, we will.

 

[vierasniper]

i thought the update was coming next week, not this past one.

 

[Airbot]

They posted that during the week before last week (December 7th), so "next week" would have been sometime this past week (Dec. 11-17).

 

[sygnus21]

Yeah they did hint it was supposed to be released last week. Oh well.

BTW I was trying to help a poster over at Bethesda's Skyrim forum - Skyrim takes ages to launch... - Bethesda Softworks Forums and came across this article from Steam Support - Verifying Game Cache Files (GCF)

If you have problems with missing models, video artifacts (purple and black checkerboards) or unexpected crashes, please follow the steps below to use Steam's Verify integrity of game cache feature to identify and replace corrupted Steam cache files.

Note that it mentions the color Purple

Just in case - Open Steam, right click game's exe, click properites, click the "LOCAL FILES" tab...



I'm not saying it's going to help 'cause well.... I've run it before, but you never know

 

[Airbot]

One of the first things I did, also posted about it further posts back, doesn't fix it at all.

Maybe an immediate temp clear of it if any, but just comes back at some point..

 

[sygnus21]

Yeah that's usually one the first things I do a well with any steam game I suspect of acting wonky.

And you may have posted this a while back but thread is 45 pages, you know how we're too lazy to go that far back. Besides this one has pictures

 

[Airbot]

Pictures scare me.

Skyrim Update 1.3 now on Steam | Bethesda Blog

4GB LAA update is on Steam now.

Guess it is applied automatically without any user switched action, as I don't see any manual setting for it.

Update or not update?

Ok,the game for me is working "fine"

Is it worth it to update it or not?

I have some bad experience with game patches.

 

[fseal]

Awesome! now to load up all the lush textures!

PS I waited till there was an official one, I don;t like the idea of external patching and replacing D3D.dll and that kind of thing myself...

Same here.


@ youllbelost
It should update on its own. Just make sure Steam is not in Offline mode.
Mine updated already but, there are times when it doesn't. Especially ATM with the Winter Sale etc.

If by chance its not automatically updating for you, you can try restarting Steam or initiate it manually.
Just Verify your game cache, and it will then download the update. Its worked for me in the past.

 

[Airbot]

Same here.

I used the older unofficial LAA patch program when it worked before the 1.2 patch, but never had the desire to go through the hoops of the second unofficial skyrimnexus 4GB patch.

Just waited until they did it natively.

BTW, There's the changelog for 1.3.10.

Update 1.3.10 Notes (PC)

• Support for 4-Gigabyte Tuning (Large Address Aware)
• Fixed issue with accented characters not displaying properly at the end of a line

I have fun with staff of fury

I've been enjoying the Staff of Paralysis and my Daedra bow (88 hit points so far, and when combined with a helmet and bracers that boost archery about 20% each it kicks posterior!) I bought the bow off the lady blacksmith next door to Breezehome.

I also found a bow that banishes summoned Daedra (up to level 20). Begone you pesky Atronachs!

I can't wait to get the Smithing skills to bump them up some more.

I am at level 33...

 

[vierasniper]

oh noes a new patch!! with only 2 fixes!! The sly *******s over at Bethesda.

 

[sygnus21]

Can I get the update patch offline, something like an offline installer ?

Basically (officially) no, but…. Also be aware that this is also probably part of Steam’s authenticity check as well.

As to the LAA patch can't wait to see what type of performance gains it garners, hopefully.

And a BTW question - has anybody notice their inventory weight shifting around? Example sometimes I'll leave my home with say an inventory weight of 277, pick up a few items, go home and store everything I've picked up, yet my weight does not go back to 277 but in fact is usually larger

I've been keeping an eye on this issue and it does happen from time to time.

Something else I also noticed is ever since patch 1.3 or shortly thereafter I no longer get the "Well Rested" perk when resting (sleeping). No matter how long, or short I sleep, I now no longer get the perk. In case you didn't know it the perk affects kind of affects your stamina because it's basically a short term bonus to you weapon wielding skills
