The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim

I will get the texture ESM files soon, I only have 896 vram so I will grab if for the sake of it but not massively into using it, I use selective texture mods at the moment. I am pretty happy with the look I have got from Flaura mod/ground texture mod/clothing mod without causing any performance hit at the moment anyway.

They have deff stepped up the game with these releases and patch. I can now (dual core 3gig) play Ultra with shadows medium and ugrids set to 7 for farther draw distance, some minor micro stutter and that's all. Prior to 1.4 I had 20 fps in some cities and all set to high only, on horse I would get jolts and spawn pauses and so on (I could tell when AI was spawning as I would get a large jolt pause prior to it), they have finaly got this up to shape as it should have been release day, for me its like playing on a quad upgrade with a game that struggled on my "old machine" in terms of how it feels.

BTW an important thread is posted on how you can use the new HD texture DLC pack without it overwriting loose file texture mods (so texture mods over write the HD pack and use it as a base) here:

For those of you that bought Skyrim, here's an interesting read.

Well I have to agree with the YT comments: Why isn´t this stuff in the game?!

EDIT: Well I bet some of it will be after they release the SDK

Most of it is already out, or in the works, some people have hinted about werebears being in a future dlc, since Mai'q the Liar seems to be fond of talking about them. Just one of those conspiracies floating around. Also the CK has been out since tuesday, tonnes of mods already on the steam workshop.

New PS3 patch was out this morning.

@Neils .. thats more to do with Steam than Skyrim itself, worth a thread on its own in some ways, no shock realy, I have never liked Steam for all of what that article shows (user wrong or right) in terms of an off switch you have no finger on. I only used steam for this game as I bought it via Game digital, only to realise I got a key and had to do the rest with steam, I will never purchase through steam or use steam with a full account as a full paying user, only have it for Skyrim as I had no choice but thats it for me. I only go online for things I need, but stay 90 percent offline with it.

I laughed at the Jam video with "Dark Dungeons" and the better water, I mean, it really is funny they could do that for "fun in the office" when it was blatantly wrong on release and fundamental esp dungeons.

But I agree, all promo for DLC I would imagine, nothing modders cant do now though and with more time to flesh out better.

I am confused with the Steam workshop with no search, I have manually added a small number of mods but soon it will be time to install a proper downloader and sorter (so many to choose and still unsure). I will hold out with the workshop until its updated with better search functions and things.

BTW as this is arma and most use six updater, which do you think is the bet to use as a similar thing for mods .. just Nexus for now & Steam later? Also like Armlauncher for mods and mod order which is the best you think that's on similar lines for Skyrim?

I haven't gone full on into mods yet but its time to start doing things more properly but I dont want to dive in feet first with the wrong software and procedure that bites me in the ass later, so any tips would be good.

Because these features are not 100% bugfree?

Yup, aswell as them not even being created until this 'go crazy week' and due to the 11-11-11 release date constraints.

Anyone else seeing blank textures after the release?
