Any opinions on 360 Vs PS3?

I've seen it on both (own it on the 360) and I think they look pretty close overall with the 360 looking a bit sharper IMO, but that's about it.

The PS3 also had a few more hiccups in frame rate from what I saw in my buddy's PS3 game, but that was pre-patch, so that might not be a thing anymore...I dunno. (Plus, FWIW, my friend has had time to play WAY more than me, so his save total and overall data could be part of the frame rate stuff).

Personally, between the console versions, I think they are close enough visually where it probably just comes down to which system or controller you want to play with. I haven't seen anything yet between the two that should hamper enjoyment.

Does your archery skill go up with each successful hit, or does it need to result in a kill?

Also, when you train and it says you need to level up before you can train again, what level do you need to be at before you can do so?

It goes up with every successful hit.

Also you can train 5 times per level. So every time you level up you can train 5 more time.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

for PC, how do I take a screenshot of my character? Also, how do I hook a 360 controller up to the computer?

Assuming you're running it on Steam (you probably are), just hit F12 in-game. When you come back to your desktop check Steam's "View" pulldown for the Screenshots window. From there you can look at them or upload them to the Cloud.

And there's still people that are experiencing lag on PS3 when the save file gets large.

Anyone here play in third person view almost all the time on the 360/PS3? I absolutely can not stand being in the first person unless I'm trying to grab something out of a crowded spot and I need to be precise.

Same. I love 3rd person.

Man, felt a little awkward doing the Namira Shrine quest but that was until I got the Ring for doing it. +50 stamina is great and also got the Mace of Molag Bal which is great other than fact it is a mace.

Not the biggest fan of the character movements in 3rd, so lately been digging 1st person view.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Did you check the quest log to make sure that is the next step it has listed? Sometimes they will sneak in a seemingly unrelated step.

Yeah I did. In the quest log it just says return to Farkas.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Anyone know what block perk quick reflexes is good for? Should I be attacking when time slows? Dodging?

Only other thing I can think of; which you have probably tried; is talking to the other companions. The have a lot of quest endings that just pass you on to another person. Also if you are on pc there is a console command that advances a quest one step. Might work for this. I don't know the command or the quest numbers.

I'm not sure I see any benefits to being a Vampire in Skyrim.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I hate this. I just started the Thieves guild, now I want to reset again as more of a stealth character, lol.

And quick reflexes either shield bash to stagger or back away.

Yeah, I always shield bash during the slow-mo. BTW, sword and board rules. With the right equipment and perk selection you can be an absolute tank.
