Game News Skyrim!!

And the UI is consolated crap. But, truth be told, it's not much different from FO3.

Fallout 3's inventory was just fine for PC. For example, to set a item to hotkey all you had to do was to press a number key and click the item and viola, you're done. In Skyrim you click item > press F to favorite > quit inventory > press Q to bring up favorite list > scroll to the item you want to bind to hotkey > pres the key to bind.

Not to mention pressing F1, F2, F3, F4 bought up inventory, journal, stats, map quickly just like they patched in Oblivion.

Skyrim's UI is designed to wow the retarded console crowd while FO3 UI was at least tweaked to be PC friendly.

Bethesda: developing for PC is "a headache"

more importantly have they fixed axes yet or chosen persist in their classification as "blunt."?

I believe they have reduced it to just "one=handed", "two-handed" and "archery" for combat skills.

How is the environment in Skyrim? Exploring the overworld was the most interesting thing for me with Morrowind and that is why Oblivion was less fun for me, a much less varied environment (also much less fun ways to get around it, but that ship has sailed, levitation and mass acrobatics boosting is never coming back). I have watched videos on Skyrim and seen its map and it mostly looks like "Snow Mountain", "Forests" and "Grassy Mountain" is the extent of the overworld, less than Oblivion. Anyone playing seen anything to the contrary?

And you call yourselves men, ha.

How do you know what we call ourselves?

i did not buy skyrim for I think it's the embodyment of destruction of what I enjoy(ed). PC games.

and you know what? it didn't impact my life at all!

Will there be a bear penis mod?

Right after penis and bigger tits mod for your horse.

 

[sgc_meltdown]

spiders are p. cool

Even species that do not build webs to catch prey use silk in several ways: as wrappers for sperm and for fertilized eggs; as a "safety rope"; for nest-building; and as "parachutes" by the young of some species.

Yeah, forgot about that. Priorities I guess...

6. No Spider Mod

Arachnophobes like PC Gamer contributor Richard Cobbett have a hard time with games like Skyrim. Which is why No Spiders patches are so useful. This first attempt at a spider free Skyrim is particularly hilarious, as it replaces the models of the spiders with hilariously out of place bears.

Are they for real?

Somebody that is truly arachnophobic will NOT play a game with spiders.. they def prefer the out of place bears believe me lol

I wonder if people who are afraid of heights play platformers

 

[DwarvenFood]

Playing Bethesda games on PC is also an headache.

Cutest spider ever.

Not sure if serious, but I doubt that would work; IIRC, behaviorists did a lot of experiments along these lines (attempting to use classical conditioning to cure phobias), and generally, pairing a pleasant stimulus with a phobia would either have no effect or actually cause the pleasant stimulus to elicit fear/anxiety rather than causing you to grow accustomed to the feared stimulus.**

This.

All the actual treatments I know of consist of actually learning cool and awesome facts about spiders and then becoming familiar with them, touching them and playing with them and collecting creepy images until you become desensitized and the like, after studying the facts enough as to understand your fear of them is ridiculous and unfounded.

It did work for me. Twice, actually, given after the first try my subconsious decided fear of spiders was actually Moe and sabotaged all the work I had done.

How could anyone be afraid of these darlings?

 

[SuicideBunny]

Cutest spider ever.

also photoshopped for no reason since the original already is fucking cute.

 

[Darkforge]

First attempt's at instilling arachnophobia in this thread were lame, but then I saw Clockspider....

I hate to admit it, but for the first time ever I am enjoying a Bethesda game at stock (minus a few performance tweaks) it's 100x better than oblivion, but we know that's not hard.

The interface is fucking terrible though, so terrible I am actually playing it on my 360 razer pad.

I don't mind spiders. They mostly keep to themselves and eat the annoying insects.

Moths are bastards, though. Big, ugly, furry things frantically flying around and being a general pain in the ass. You turn the lights off for five seconds and they're nose diving the computer screen..

They are worse than that. They lag eggs which become caterpillars, the most vile creatures known to man.

How can those spiders be cute? Any insect that has hair is disgusting. Brrrrr.

General knowledge fail. But here's some non-hairy Nephila (golden silk orb-weavers) for you.

Cloth (undyed; natural colour) made from the silk of over a million female Nephila:

Thinks spiders is cute

I... No... What?

Salticidae are totally sqeenoms.

I'd squeeze it alright. With the heel of my boot.

Spiders are not insects. /'spergin

I like spiders irl but kinda hate facing them in games. Web and poison tend to make them annoying fucks.

That sounds like a very unfortunate turn of events.

:pedantic: They're harvestmen, not spiders.
