People are really dedicated to streamlining and optimization mods, so the games tend to run well on older computers anyway. There was even a mod for Oblivion called Oldblivion that killed the need for 2.0 shaders!

You can't spam restoration and whatnot anymore. You ONLY gain skill points if it has an effect; so if you're not actually healing your HP, you won't get any skill.

I'm not sure how this works with detect life, but I'd assume it's based on how long you hold it to actually detect stuff (I'm pretty sure it only lasts as long as you hold the spell).

Maybe I need a upgrade near in the future. I can obviously still play it though.

My laptop is basically on beno's scale, although my only less-than-recommended area is CPU; I have a dual-core 2.13 GHz, which is not-so-amazing but can still work it with my solid graphics card. I think my laptop doesn't reach higher because I have a mobile nvidia card that canyourunit doesn't compare to the recommended graphics cards properly.

Locked and preloaded.

I hope to preorder tomorrow sometime, unless I convince my dad.

Then get on friday between work.

I might hum the song of skyrim on video sometime, if I get the game.

11/13 of the Standing Stones (birthsigns) are known. Quoted from NeoGAF and spoilered for... mechanics purists?

The Mage - Those under the sign of the Mage will learn all magic skills 20% faster.
The Thief - Those under the sign of the Thief will learn all stealth skills 20% faster.
The Warrior - Those under the sign of the Warrior will learn all combat skills 20% faster.
The Lover - Lets you learn all skills a little faster, but not as much as the Thief, Warrior and Mage stones.
The Apprentice - Doubles your Magicka and Magicka Regeneration Speed, but makes you twice as susceptible to spells.
The Atronach - Bonus to magicka pool and magicka absorption but reduces magicka regeneration. (don't know amounts)
The Serpent - Ability to paralyze enemies for 5 seconds.
The Shadow - Allows you to cast an Invisibility spell once per day.
The Ritual - Allows you to reanimate a corpse once a day for 60 seconds.
The Steed - Lets you carry more, and your equipped armour doesn't slow you down.
The Tower - Gives you the ability to unlock expert or lower locks automatically. (I'm thinking this is a once per day power)


They all sound -amazing- except The Ritual, since 60s reanimation is, I'm pretty sure, a Novice-level conjuration spell.

An I the only one playing this baby on a console?

It saddens me that necromancy is measured in 'seconds', I was hoping it'd be much longer term than that. I wanted to construct an undead army, without cheating.

I might too, my PC is only slightly above minimum specs, so I guess it will get choppy --> kill the flow.

Besides, I will buy the console version as soon as it ships to my favourite shop, and then I will "pirate" the PC version when it's aviable, to try if my PC can run it smoothly, and if yes, I will play it on PC... if not, console version it is. I'm not buying the game twice just to see if my PC can run it.

Consoles might even get mods this time around (though they DID plan that for oblivion too).

Preordering it soon for tomorrow, and getting it in between work. Come back play all day. :p Oh yeah, forgot about those foods I suppose to eat so I don't starve.

Didn't have to preorder, as it unlocks at midnight and the game is here my room, ready to be installed by then.
