If you want to have a fun time in Skyrim, go to Windhelm and play a drinking game with the guy at the bar.

Also, I recommend avoiding dragon hunting quests for the moment. Seems there's a bug where the dragons fly backwards and makes it impossible to kill them in certain quests, and then you get stuck with some NPC following you and never leaving... dammit Bethesda...

FYI, the drinking game guy can be randomly found in any Inn within the game. I found him in Whiterun. Definitely one of my favorite quests in the game, though. If anyone sees a guy in black mage robes, talk to him and play his game. You won't regret it.

you can do all that without getting a arrow in the knee and with no lolligagging

here is another fine piece of skyrim fanmade content


Also try dropping a expensive item when you are in a town and there are alot of npcs around , npcs start a brawl over the dropped item , and when lucky even go so far they start killing each other and townguardsintervening the other npcs , hillarious

I do not agree with what you are saying , but i will defend to the death your right to say it...... Voltaire

Sad internet guy falls in love with RPG gamer gurl that can sing. More news at Ten.

Shocked

I think its just the voice but she is luvly.

As regards NPC fights, few are better than finding a particularly busy part of Liberty City and runnning through it throwing punches - with some luck the NPC's trying to punch you all start accidently punching random other NPC's and then some come and watch and get hit and it kinda cascades in to a massive riot. Extra lulz ensue if there is a car accident and the police arrive.

Go to Solitude and agree to help convince the crazy guy's "master" to return from his "vacation".

It's more of a bug, but if your character gets married the entire audience (and your bride as well) gets up and walks out near the end while the priest is still droning on. That one had me chuckling for a bit.

Actually, I'm getting too frustrated with Skyrim right now to play it, they just introduced WAY too many game breaking bugs with the last patch.

I encountered backwards flying dragon on a quest. The NPC I was with that was quest specific would not go the f**k away. Could not finish quest.

I encountered an infinite loading screen.

Game lag is MUCH worse after the last patch, I can play for maybe an hour and it starts crapping itself.

They seriously need to fix their game...

That's why I always wait 3-6 months before buying anything now a days, long gone are the days when games, as in non MMOs were released and pretty solid. Now you spend $60 and have to wait 6 months for it to be patched and playable. I waited for around 6 months to be able to finish Black Ops because of a bug with one of the cinematic scenes you can't skip at the end. Would just play through up to a certain point then sit there. Took them 6 months to get around to fixing it.

There are bugs in the ps3 version. I have the ps3 version. It does not "work great". Just wait, you'll have to deal with one of the many gamebreaking bugs soon...

100+ hours and never had a problem. The only thing I'm worried about is Mehrune's Razor. There seems to be several quests from different people to collect the same thing, or parts of it at least, and really that's just asking for something to bug out.

I'm entirely in agreement -- it's less prevalent than it has been, but many companies are still using their customers as unpaid beta-testers.

I recall the Golden Age of computers (which was right up until the late 90s), when companies like Sierra Online and LucasArts published quality products and stood behind what they produced. The games were entertaining, funny, and they worked.

Now, it seems that (with a few exceptions), everything that's on the shelf is an imitation of what was popular last week and the 'superstars' of the industry shuffle around to a new company every four months. Now, everything is about 'money', and why innovate when you can imitate?

Kudos to CCP for sticking to their guns and making a game for the players, instead of some corporate marketroid that only cares about the bottom line.

I can't get rid of my darn signature!  Oh, wait....

Yeah, just working is my biggest pet peve with the industry. 4 out of 5 games I'll purchase now either don't work at all or crash constantly. If I had the money I'd open a studio and only put out **** that worked lol.

Luckily I wasn't home all day when 1.2 came out so I just put steam into offline mode when I got home. I could risk it, but it's not worth it. Steam stays offline until they put out something resembling a fixed build.
