TES V: Skyrim

I am running with mods. I suppose it might be overloading the engine in some way at times. Usually the game does run very smooth. It just has occasional bouts of stutters. I have never had the game crash.
 
I found a video of the Radeon 3800 shadow bug in action for your enjoyment.

I emailed Bethesda about this but just got a useless copy-paste response about system requirements. DirectX 10.1 card isn't good enough for their DirectX 9 game. Ah well. I emailed AMD too but there was no response (sometimes they do, sometimes they don't).
 
HD3800 was competition for 8800GT right? I can confirm that the 8800GT runs the game very well at normal resolutions.

Actually the 8800GT runs most things very well. And gets driver updates right along with the big boys. Hell they just added a bunch of new features for all G80+ GPUs.
 
Yup I have an 8800GT around too. It does run the game really well. I ended up swapping the 3850 out for the 8800GT (boss's kid's game rig).
 
Now we just need mounted looting too, because getting on and off your horsy all the time is a fecking bother. :D Especially when out about to pick alchemy ingredients and such.
 
^If the horseback combat works right that is. I've yet to play a single game with decent horseback combat, and I have my doubts that Bethesda of all companies are going to crack that nut.

Mount&Blade has great horseback combat.

Yeah I know that is why I mentioned it :)

However this seems ok I only played it for a moment though and shot some poor animal from the horse. I can't believe it took this long to get it in though. Since in skyrim horses can go anywhere this should be a fun exploit too. Ride up a cliff then shoot the generic non flying non magic creature to death.
 
Mounted followers would be nice then, especially as the follower pathing is so incredibly borked when going up and down cliffsides (they refuse to move across certain pieces of terrain, they'll only path on the actual ground mesh...) Maybe putting the follower on a horse would help.

I doubt the followers would ever be able to follow such paths anyway. You just have to fast travel to get them back. BTW have you ridden out over solitude? There is an invisible box around it so you could ride your horse up the cliff then out into the air over the city...I hate all the clipping they did on this version.

Lol, no... Never tried that. Didn't think it was possible to ride up such obstacles... :LOL: You're the first one I hear of to tell of such a trick/bug... If you can ride up over Solitude, what happens if you hit one of the boundaries at the edge of the Skyrim world map...? Heh.

I have so far despised skyrim horseriding with a passion due to the time it takes to get on and off horseback, plus their propensity for getting themselves killed in battle (or uselessly running away and getting lost). I almost never use a horse, even though I got Frost following me around every time I fast-travel.
 
Well I rode up the cliffs above it b/c I was on the north coast and wanted to go straight to blue palace. Then I just started riding out on the invisible box until I fell into the town about the middle of it. There are boundaries on the edge of the world you get stuck on. You just stop moving.

There is a nice mod on the Nexus (I'll link later, I'm at work right now), that enables followers to mount horses.
But for now they always dismount to fight.

I tried the update, and couldn't hit anything with a sword when mounted... There is also the problem, that monsters can kill my horse in three hits... So a horse armor mod is a must (moded of course, not a DLC :p )
I hope that moders can at least expand the hitbox.

Same here. I gave up horseriding when I realized it was actually taking me longer to get from place to place because the dismounting/remounting. On foot, I don't have to stop at all to kill something (since I can one-shot most wild animals/bandits).
 
Yeah, I already have Frost, and Frost got himself killed several times already for being overly aggressive and taking on things he can't handle (like ancient dragons), and also because hostile NPCs don't hate and want to kill just me, they also hate anything related to me, like my horse. This happened particularly often during the civil war quest chain, like when defending Whiterun all the stormcloaks came rushing by the stables. What did I find after the battle...? A dead Frost on the ground, that's what. :(

Thank grud there exists a PC version, with a console, so I could resurrect that damn nag rather than having to reload, rush through the horde of attacking enemies, mount up and then gallop away half a league, and then return to mop up the foes...
