Yeah it's about as intrusive as a fly getting in your house, and a lot less annoying!

Finally finished the main story. Or I think I did. Not entirely sure, there's no ending cinematic, scrolling credits, or any such thing. But now I can summon dragons and heroes of old. Now. When I finished it. I'm really sad that I spent 40 hours mucking about with sidequests. I should have gone for the main quest, finished it as fast as I could. Then I could enjoy the sidequests with those nifty powers.

Also, really, how do I disable that HDR/eye adjustment to light thing, it's annoying. 

MEGA kind of implies spoilers. It's not like the main story is very mysterious. You can pretty much sum it up in a sentence or two.

Yeah, there is a spoiler tag, wouldn't hurt anyone if you used it.

and thx for taking the time to edit any spoilers out.  By all means make the spoilers as long as you block em out.  Thanks

Thank god patches are flying out this week for all platforms, ps3 has it, xbox and pc get it on Wednesday.

I just finished that quest. The "forge" is actually a small dungeon far to the west (use the "locate on map" feature) between Rorikstead and Markarth. Bring health potions.

Some of the graphics mods are quite nice. I'm using the 4Gig Memory Unlocker, Colorful Dragons, Nude Females (when you take off the armor of course), Post Process Injector (custom settings and is a HUGE Improvement) , and the HD Texture Packs from the guy who did the HR Textures for Whiterun. The game looks simply Jaw Dropping on my system. All of them are on Skyrim Nexus.

If I manage to fix my PC while I'm on vacation this month, I'm going to start the game again, and mod it to hell and beyond. The interface especially, I hated it to no end, but now I see there's a mod for that. I just wish there was a way to mod the Morrowind interface into it, sadly, that's impossible. Also, a minimap would have been nice, although... funny story. When I played Morrowind the first time for 3 months, I had a SiS 315 video card that didn't get along well with the game, so I couldn't see my character in the inventory, and the mini-map was just blank, but I think the little squares were still there.

Yes, raven ... do your review  and update it....  would be good to have a clearing house to discuss graphical and UI mods....

FOV 85 on 28in.  Much better for me

FOV change via console.  I remember that in tesIV, some FOV ranges crashed the game.  Anyone found a breakpoint when playing with the FOV settings in Skyrim?  Personally, I like the first person point of view so I havn't changed it on my install.  I suppose, for getting some sweet screen shots, FOV changes would be helpful.   So, how does one go about getting nice screenshots with skyrim?

As for mods I'm only using 2 at the moment:  An ini mod that drastically improves the map.  And Lockpick Pro.  I HATE and have always hates the lockpicking mini-game.  Previous versions though had an "auto" pick lock option.  Skyrim does not.  So Lockpick Pro simply gives you a bar that shows what the sweet spot is to allow you to pick the lock without failing all the time.  This has been a lifesaver for me as the lockpick minigame is just plain stupid in my book.

I'm holding off on other mods until the Creation Kit comes out and more patches come out since patches often break mods.
