What do you have to do to take a screen shot. Mine arent working.


If it's on Steam, default is F-12 to take a SS through steam.  (My second pic is from Steam)

Print Screen and then copy/paste into MSpaint works for single shots.

I've had FRAPs for years now and my first SS was taken off of a fraps recording I did of a cinematic kill.

Haven't really used any magic yet except clairvoyance and healing. Swords and arrows seem more effective for now. Easier too. That's one of the fun things in the game, you can go do whatever you like and not bother with the other stuff.

Eventually I'll get to it; the only time I regretted not knowing any is when I accidentally killed Lydia. Would have been nice to bring her back to life. That ice troll was trapped on some rocks though so I had to let her die. I guess I can use Uthgerd for bait now, but I figure I have to do a decent bit of mourning for poor old Lydia first.



 :lol  Lydia finally bought it the other day for me.   I would normally reload and do it again but I thought I told her to wait somewhere when she had been killed previously.   Took her stuff dragged her to a fitting resting place.    I have Mjoll the Lioness as my wife I could use her but she is too busy making my dinner in her underwear most of the time.  I have 3 other spare thanes so they will have to do.

LOL.. I married Mjoll too.  Interesting thing I didn't know.. when you say 'we can part ways'.. that just sends the housecarl  (You're the Thane ) back to whichever house they were aligned with.  WARNING..  I think they peddle whatever gear you had them carrying or use, because when you see them back at the house, they're outfitted as when they were assigned to you. I've lost a couple sets of plated steel armor and some killer staffs that way...

I'm into the dark brotherhood string now.. not real comfy with being an assassin, but it only took about 6 missions before it got REAL interesting...

Best of Skyrim:

Arrows to the knee
Dragons
Fus Ro Dah
Companions = Luggage Holder
Kill moves
No gravity physics
Killing a chicken = 1st degree murder
Spider horse - climbing 90 degrees slopes like cake
Jumping off a mountain into a river and landing a perfect 10
Jumping onto a wheelbarrow and killing yourself
Spawning 10,000 cabbages on the Throat of the World

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

Found out that if you take your companion back out, they respawn as equipped when you released them last.

Wish there was animated kills for archerd..... animations are pretty good when you sneak up and get a 15x dagger in someone.

Sneaking up on someone in a full suit of heavy plate and lopping their head off is even funnier...

Ok got the game with steam's discount offer (yay!).

Overall I like it but there are two things that really bug me:

1- The magic system is really not well integrated.

The left/right hand thing forcing you to constantly stop the game, swap spells, suffer the 2 or 3 second delay after swap for the game to somehow figure out that you are indeed clicking the mouse to FIRE the new spells... ugh.

Final Fantasy suffered such an interface until their developers came up with a system to replace it..which worked flawlessly in FFXI (MMO). Bethesda should take a look at these things.

2- Game makes me sick. Literally. This is something that is bethesda-specific. Its the way they make the avatar move and the world scroll by in all their games (fallout/elder scrolls). Its like you're floating an inch above the ground slewing around the place not walking/jogging. The sprint animation/movement oth is brilliant.  If they would integrate the sprint movement on walk/jog and make distant objects not have such a strong bloom effect (no, graphic settings cant change it) it would be perfect imo. Perhaps someday a mod will make this. Until that happens I'll have to play with some alcohol in me blood to get through it.

The good:

1- Im happy to see archery is actually viable in this game. In Oblivion it was almost useless. At level 6 I slew a mammoth with just bow and arrow XD.

2- zombies! waahahaha...

I have not upgraded the decapitation perk on onehanded .   i like the eleven legendary armor  i have an archer character do need to get in close and hash it out....  a good bow and a good enchantment and the 3x perk make quick work of most.
the blacksmith keeps saying  to get rid of the sisy elven armor and get some real stuff  ...too funny
