TES V: Skyrim

[John Reynolds]

Ordered the 4-disc soundtrack for Skyrim earlier today. Supposed to be signed by Jeremy Soule, for whatever that's worth. I'm now at slightly over $200 for a single game.

The ROI for Bethesda games is typically very high. I think of all their games I played Fallout 3 the least, and still got a good 60 hours out of it.

Doesn't Daggerfall require DOSbox or something? I seem to recall never being able to make it work on modern Windows.

Yes. Here's a short guide to get it to work in modern Windows:

Make sure to read the text under the "free release" section as well as the initial setup. Also note that the free version includes the final patch, so you don't have to go hunting for it.

Got a lot on my gaming plate right now. Maybe one day when I'm super bored.

Haha, I hear that I downloaded it, got it working, spent a lot of time creating a character, and then managed to die without saving. And there's no autosave. So yeah, decided to switch to Morrowind for a bit

Ill likely never touch Daggerfall again unless DaggerXL gets working. Looks great so far. The guy behind it clearly knows his stuff and I'm sure he's a pro game developer...

Comments on this video are gold:

"I've never participated in No Shave November before, but now there's no excuse. This beard is staying on."


"this song gives me the spirit to rape a mountain."


"This song made me grow a second penis. "

"beards grow faster to this song."

What's ESM?

What's ESM?

They are like world files I think. So you have one for main world, you have one for a mod etc.

 

[hoho]

Pretty sure they are general-purpose datafiles that can contain pretty much anything.

 

[Daozang]

ESMs are main files, that are loaded before everything else, and esps, if I remember correctly, are mod files, that can be loaded after the esm files.
That doesn't mean that esms can't be mods, only that they are files that define fundamental functions of the game.

 

[Daozang]

Pretty sure they are general-purpose datafiles that can contain pretty much anything.

Yes, they contain assets as well.

 

[Sxotty]

Yes that is why I said main world. Unlike an ESP they change main functions.

Shouldn't the reviews start showing up by now?
I try to avoid reading them. I don't want them to spoil it for me. :smile:
I'm waiting for you guys to start posting scores
I also hope, that we'll have a nice tweaking thread here, to get the most out of it!

Reviews are embargoed until tomorrow, the 10th.

Im surprised meshes are improved much more than textures compared to xbox360.. and also pleased by the sound difference..
