Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Honestly, I wasn't even trying to imply. My thought process was just that the armor looked really cool and I should post a picture, lol.

It is badass looking Cyros!! Hit Rob with a FUS RO DAH

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Don't know how much "a lot" constitutes, but I'll just say you'll find a similar one down the road that looks much cooler than that one, IMO anyways.

Like, I haven't done anything productive since the game came out, a lot.

Maybe it has a low value, I tend to avoid things that have a low gold to weight ratio. Or perhaps you were implying it was the something you get on main quest?

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I have a ingredients question.

I know when you eat it you learn its effects. Now my question comes in how do you unlock the 3 other "unknowns". Each items starts with 4 unknowns. Eating it will unlock 1, so how do you unlock the others?

Man, just how prevalent is this PS3 problem?

I was warming up to this game and just about to get it, then came across the news that the PS3 version was having problems.

From what I can tell it's only a matter of time before lag kicks and makes the game unplayable. Of course, the PR guy says "some" users are experiencing problems. Why wouldn't I believe a PR guy? Because they are all liars that's why, dirty wretched liars who will burn in the fire without flame.

Anyhoo, PS3 is the only option for me. Guess I'm gonna have to wait and see if they actually fix the problem.

Zero issues here, save size is almost 8MB.

Experiment, just try two ingredients and hope, sometimes found recipes will reveal other effects. There is also a perk which will reveal another effect when eaten, and you can select it three times to give all four effects.

I think you need to get more alchemy perks, that should let you find out the other properties. At least through eating anyway.

A few ways...

- Random experimentation (you will waste a lot of ingredients this way)
- Finding or purchasing alchemy recipes
- Sometimes when you create potions with known effects it will randomly unlock some of the additional effects
- The experimenter perk. Each level will unlock an additional effect when eaten.

Bethesda is saying that only a fraction of the people are experiencing the frame rate issue but according to this poll that fraction is greater then 8/10ths. Patches have already been submitted for certification. http://ps3.ign.com/articles/121/1213007p1.html Whether or not it will address the frame rate issue is still a question at this point.

Personally I haven't had a problem, but my save file hasn't crossed the 6MB threshold where apparently this starts to crop up.

Not exactly random. You were just lucky the two ingredients had another effect in common.

Example, you have two ingredients that both have Restore Magicka as their first effect. The first ingredient also has Resist Fire as it's third effect, and the other ingredient has Resist Fire as it's second effect. When you mix these two you'll get a potion that Restores Magicka and Resist Fire. You'll also unlock the third and second effects of those two ingredients.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Part of the issue with the framerate could be the numerous amounts of saves people are making. Each save file is about 5 megs early on , and can grow exponentially. Two of my 3 characters save files are at 10 megs now, you take take and add a lot of constant saving, which many players do with this game, and you can get 50+ (maybe even more) save files of 10 megs plus, clogging everything up.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Yeah I've had the frame rate issue as well.

Thanks for this. I have 5/6 saves that I don't need. I'll delete most of em the next time I play.

Yea i have this issue every now and then. I do save alot and it would happen after playing the game for a couple hours, so I just always thought it was ps3 way of telling me I need to give it a break and let it cool down or something lol

the problem with polls like this is that people without any problems aren't going around searching for polls about lag

For the most part, only people that are having lag would be looking at threads like that and voicing their opinion, so the overall percentages end up grossly skewed.

Thanks for that link. Sounds like it's a pretty high rate of people that are experiencing this. Too bad.

From what I've read it seems like it's an inevitability, and not a matter of if, but when.

Why would the amount of saves mess with framerate?
