The PS3 version is the glitchiest POS EVAR.
...no really.
I have Skyrim on all three platforms and though I *MUCH* prefer the Xbox version, I gotta say the PC version is by far the most stable.

I bought the PC version on Steam and I am going balls deep into it this time. I'm not sure if it auto patches itself or if I have to do that myself. I'll look into it.

Steam updates Skyrim for you. If you've opted in for betas, it will update when beta updates are released as well.

Yeah I figured it out in a retarded way. I found out the latest patch has a Nightmare difficulty setting, checked my game to see if there was a Nightmare mode, and sure enough, its there. Do you know of any websites that can get me caught up to speed with Elder Scrolls lore? I know about TES wiki which I check sometimes. Its not a world I'm familiar with. Not like Azeroth which I've been a part of for quite a fuckin while now.

I may even play Morrowind and Oblivion someday too. I've had Oblivion for years but my computer could never handle it. When I finally did get a computer that could that is when Skyrim came out. So Those two games might be just story play throughs if I get around to them. I'm sure they're pretty cheap now too. Skyrim PC was only $30.

Morrowind is too if you love character building and tweaking stats and class builds. The story is good as well but it's all about reading. You gotta read read read that sucker. Morrowind is also easy to abuse once you know how, which is fun. Only issue is that Morrowind's graphics are hideous compared to today's standards, however Kingpix or something similar in name has created a Morrowind overhaul modpack that completely changes the graphics of the game once you install it, and it looks like another game entirely. Storyline is the same, but its much much much much MUCH prettier. Check it out. Frankly, all 3 games are awesome. I keep reading about Skyrim having a legendary mode now or something, do I have to pay extra for that? >_>

Legendary mode. That's what I meant when I said Nightmare mode. I'm so used to Dragon Age and Nightmare mode so that's the first word that came to mind. No, you don't need to pay for it. Its part of the latest patch.
The difficulty is kinda strange. I was climbing the steps to get to High Hrothgar and fought a dragon. The dragon was hard but doable. Right after there was a mountain troll I had to fight. The dragon I took down in one effort, the troll took me about a half a dozen times. Strange. XD

XD I saw that Prima released a HUMONGOUS guide for Legendary mode, so I didn't know. They were bragging about how big the book was.

I find my current Skyrim objective is the same as my real life objective. Save as much money as I can so I can buy a home. Ha ha! XD I have so many items in my inventory that I can't use yet but want to save for a later time and I need storage space. If this game is anything like Fallout 3 then having a home will give me storage space. Its just kind of funny how Skyrim and RL are reflective of each other in that way. Well I guess life is an RPG in many ways. The more you whack things with a sword, the better you get at it. The more you drive a forklift, the better you get at that too.

Been thinking about starting up Skyrim again myself. Honestly, I didn't get very far in it, I just spent 2000 hours messing around in it. >_>

If I want to go to town on Blacksmithing, would it also be a good idea to fire up enchanting? Or do smithed items have enchants on them as you get better at it? Kinda like WoW, is what I'm asking. You start off by making basic armor and then eventually you can make greens or blues with Strength/Stamina etc. bonuses to them.

All the items you make with smithing are the equivalent of white items in WoW. You need to have a fuckton of filled Soul Crystals before you can really level enchanting appropriately. Also, before you level smithing, look into the quest in Riften. www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Unfathomable_DepthsHowever, it has a bug that does NOT make it work correctly unless you are using the unofficial patch mod. www.uesp.net/wiki/Tes5Mod:Unofficial_Skyrim_PatchFor more detail in general. www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:SmithingThe point in general is, unless they changed something in Dragonborn, nothing you can make with smithing will have an enchantment on it, you can only upgrade via smithing, which improves via your smithing skill. Upgrading items via smithing only improves the base value, like attack or defense. Enchanting doesn't get involved until you make items with a smithing bonus, but those sort of items can be all over Skyrim in shops and dungeons, and on baddies. You may hear speak of the Resto loop, but erm, I wouldn't worry about that right now. That will completely ruin your first game play, my good man. Also, I know you may have some guilt about not logging into WoW, or not, I dunno. If you do or not I just wanna tell you I totally, 100,000% fucking understand. I have been sucked into Skyrim so many times. That game will steal your soul. I know dat feel bro. Right now I want to play it, but I'm trying to avoid it cuz I want to get Yvondith to 90, at least. BTW, you join facebook, nao! *angry asian parent*

Yeah, Skyrim has been sucking up what little video game time I've had. Sorry. I will try and get on WoW eventually. Just not sure when.
