So...Skyrim

Tweaks for PC version http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/11/11/t...e-graphics-disable-vsync-change-fov-and-more/

Disable mouse smoothing
Go to your Steam Directory, then steamapps, common, skyrim and select Skyrim again. Create a backup of the SkyrimPrefs.ini file. Open the file, then scroll down to where it says [Controls] and find bMouseAcceleration=1. Change to bMouseAcceleration=0. Save, exit, and play This fix and the two below are from Skyrim Reddit, and are credited to “Dead man posting” on the Something Awful Forums.

Change field of view
Head to My Documents, select My Games, select Skyrim and then Skyrim again, then create a backup of the skyrim.ini file. Scroll down to [General] in the file and add fdefaultfov=XX (where XX is the field of view you want). Then save and exit.

Fix common crash to desktop problem
Access the Sound menu from the Control panel. In the playback tab, right click on speakers and select properties. Select the advanced tab on the new screen and select 24 bit, 44100Hz (Studio Quality) from the drop down menu. This fixed crashes for Owen last night.

Disable Vsync
Access the SkyrimPrefs.ini again and add iPresentInterval=0 to the bottom of the [Display] section. This can improve a sluggish framerate and eliminate instances of mouse lag. Thanks to Tweak Guides for this one.

Graphical tweaks
Curate on the Bethesda forums has highlighted a number of interesting variables in the SkyrimPrefs.ini file. Change the digit at the end of each line to 1 to turn the feature on, 0 to turn it off. Don’t forget to create a backup of the SkyrimPrefs.ini file just in case.

Interesting variables are as follows, in order of appearance in the .ini and showing their default settings.
bDoDepthOfField=1
bTreesReceiveShadows=0
bDrawLandShadows=0
bShowFloatingQuestMarkers=1
bShowQuestMarkers=1
bShowCompass=1
bMouseAcceleration=1
fAutosaveEveryXMins=15.0000
Redditor Ryz also suggests changing iWaterReflectHeight=512 and iWaterReflectWidth=512 to 1024 and adding the following text to the SkyrimPrefs.ini to improve the quality of water reflections.
bUseWaterReflectionBlur=1
bReflectExplosions=1
iWaterBlurAmount=4
bAutoWaterSilhouetteReflections=0
bForceHighDetailReflections=1

[Influenza]

Just about to start it up for the 1st time , cya in a month

 

[Moriath]

might only be windows 7 donno .. i had it on mine

 

[BloodOmen]

Finished it + sidequests + guild quests, quite disappointed with how short the main story was tbh its even shorter than Oblivion was.

 

[Moriath]

how long did u play it in total .. did u explore everywhere ?

i done like 4 quest and 2 dungeons and lvl 6 in 4 hours

 

[Mabs]

im lvl 13, still fucking around in 2nd town, played 10 hours

but them im exploring and being random, not trying to "win", go figure

28 hours total and I exploreda vast amount most likely not everything i'm starting again tho as I enjoyed it alot so i'll find anything I missed this time around.

Wtf blood, 28 hours in a couple of days? What happened to your kiddo?

 

[Chosen]

What seems to annoy me the most, is that I can't seem to find how to change the mousesensitivity.

 

[Aada]

28 hours? You must have literally skipped all the dialogue, stayed on the quest path and did a few side quests and declared you beat the game. I'm 22 hours in did 3 main quests a few side quests and few misc quests that's between exploring dungeons whenever there is one nearby.

28 hours is rushed.

Probably an ini file change - though after turning off mouse acceleration and vsync and changing the FoV I find the mouse speed to be ok

 

[TdC]

had a huge laugh: I was dumping stuff out of my inventory and some townsperson walked by and made a comment about littering wtfllooool

may be able to play a little tonight but have an exam coming up so I guess I shouldn't really

Mouse sensi is in the options menu somewhere I changed mine yesterday. Same place you can disable pads and stuff

 

[Aada]

Jesus, just finished a quest and I think I caused a mini town war flipping blood bath.

 

[Raven]

23 hours in. If anything, I am getting overwhelmed by side quests, finish one and find two more

 

[BloodOmen]

it is like crack yes, i'm on my 2nd playthrough now, I could have just continued with my first playthrough char and did the sidequests/exploring I missed but I wanted to try something new (trying a shield tank at the moment)

Seriously this. I'm on 20 odd hours, lvl15, and I've hardly touched the main story. Just been exploring and doing side quests, it's like you complete one but pick up three more on the journey. I've only just started my first of the guild storylines, which should take several hours and then I've got 4 or 5 after that! At this rate it's going to be 50 or 60 hours before I even considering carrying on the main.

 

[Cemeterygates]

It arrived earlier than expected, got it installed but just waiting on the update thingy from steam and getting all fidgety!

I skipped no dialogue tho, assuming will get you nowhere Aada, i've done all the guild missions and a tonne of side quests listening to entire convos/not skipping or ignore them and the main story. Really not my problem your a slow gamer, i've enjoyed the game alot but its really not that long, they claimed it would have over 100 hours of gameplay yet I really don't see there being another 72 hours of side quests left over.

Dare I say it Oblivion lasted a a tad bit longer during the first play through than this.. thats not to say i'm done with it tho as said i've started from scratch and trying a new class/build + completely ignoring the main story now that i've seen it.

 

[Moriath]

from what i read its that your a fast gamer cause i havent seen anyone else in this thread say they anywhere near finishing it in the time you did ...

Maybe the 360 version has less content hehe
