This also happened to me very early on in my game. I got no options to pay a fine or go to jail, he just started attacking me. It's not happened again since then.

right click on the main page images and then "open image in new window", no shades.

anyone else finding it hilarious when waking up sleeping NPCs and they instantly start talking, not even mad that you woke them up?

It's hilarious. I can't relate to it at all. I get so pissed when someone wakes me up, I'm completely capable of murder.

i was just thinking the same thing, my gut instinct was of course I want to join the rebels, then they wanted to sack Whiterun...and my first thought was but, but I like Whiterun. Ulfric is definitely a go for self douche.

looking forward to playing from the other side of the civil war and seeing the differences in the storyline.

On 360 there is framerate drop when there are a ton of enemies on the screen, or just generally when a bunch of a stuff is happening at once. doesnt happen too often tho.

If I remember correctly, all xbox games run at 30 frames per second. PS3 is the same or maybe it runs at 20 or 30 frames higher.
With that said, most games have framerate drops on consoles. it's 6 year old hardware, at this point.

COD runs at 60 frames a second on XBOX. It is a game to game type thing. Some may run at 30 some may run at 60 etc. Both consoles run Skyrim at 30 frames a second.

I actually looked at the comparison and the game looks better on XBOX than PS3. It was develop on the PC platform and ported over to consoles. Supposedly you don't have to do much when you are porting over from PC to XBOX. I guess that is why it looks better on the XBOX.

I think MW3 is one of the first games to do that. I believe it was an ad point

The first two are daedric artifact quests and the best of the bunch so far. Barbas was awesome.

Did not know about the foxes. Will follow them from now on.

Do you guys know about the invisible chest in Dawnstar?

it's to the left of the entrance to Iron Breaker mine. You will see 3 rocks and a tree. The chest is between the rock closest to the mountain and the mountain.

At least 10,000 gold worth of items and enchanted weapons etc. More if you're a higher level.

can't seem to find it.

what system are you playing it on?

VideoKilledThe · Post by **VideoKilledThe** » Fri Dec 09, 2011 5:29 pm

i've been trying to follow every fox i see, but they aren't leading me anywhere...

Russian · Post by **Russian** » Fri Dec 09, 2011 5:55 pm

i found god mode and other cheats in the pc version and now this game is no longer interesting, should have bought a 360 version

ric · Post by **ric** » Fri Dec 09, 2011 7:19 pm

yeah dont cheat, man. i stopped playing morrowind once i saw the dialogue box cheat codes and used them to insert 99,999 fish eggs and 999,999,999 aloe leaves in my pockets to make tons of potions with. then i realized i could use that same cheat method to just make my dude maxed out on alchemy in 2 seconds. shit was dumb. dont cheat.

at least now you can play assassins creed and not feel torn. the thing is. skyrim is fucking amazing right? but i DO want to play assassins creed. but i want to play ACRev AFTER im done with skyrim so i can immerse myself BUT 1) i am already so immersed in skyrim 2) skyrim doesnt really end. so its just kind of a problem.

It's on all platforms.

So, apparently, every tradesman in Skyrim has a hidden treasure chest, usually buried underground.

Dignity is a luxury few can afford when battling in the cruel world of Skyrim. There is no shame in survival, my friend.
