How long did it take other people to get the pun with Elsweyr? I've been playing since Morrowind and I only just got it the other night.

Any further word on CK release date? We're halfway through January...

Let's just say that CCP's going to have to sue for copyright infringement

I am surprised by the city bashing in Skyrim--Morrowind was pretty sparse too-thus mods like "Morrowind comes alive"-Vivic seemed big, but really there was hardly more than 2-3 people in the "streets" between the canals. Oblivion had a sad excuse for a capital city (even if Shivering Isles was individually awesome), much less every other village (Kvatch, dear god, Kvatch) By comparison I keep finding new quests even in tiny little hamlets because it seems like everyone is up to something.

It is kinda  a good balance--Morrowind had lots of people to wantonly murder if you were playing a serial killer or the like, and no quests would break.  Oblivion was packed with quest giving people you really wanted to kill but couldn't for whatever reason.

I feel like Skyrim balanced the two.

I can't wait until the mods for Skyrim get good.

 I loved Morrowind, spent more years playing it than any other game in my life, but I couldn't imagine it without Antares big mod (including stuff like hireable scouts, assassins and agents, becoming an actual archmage/patriarch complete with the power to call others heretic and have them burned at the stake), no glow (hate the magic shrink wrap), peaceful cliff racers and dozens and dozens of other goodies (werewolves not being perma hated by whole universe if revealed to one, quickly disembowled peasant).

Oblivion mods were as disappointing as the rest of the game--pretty outfits and naked ladies.

Skyrim actually has potential--I've been playing around with Midas magic and my tide-pool dwelling khajiiti hedge witch finally feels complete with summonable insect swarms and the ability to create entangling plant life (while training alteration )

Just got Skyrim today, and Sigurd Thunderpeak is having a great time fighting for the Nordic people. I'm taking advantage of the new dual-wielding thing to wield swords and lightning at the same time.

PRO: Double lightning bolts. Double swords. Pretty neat stuff.

CON: Having to alternate right/left clicks for sword usage gets really annoying. The inability to cast spells without pressing Q and changing the equipped effect is ridiculous. There should be a hotkey.

Skyrim's towns are pretty neat, but the local map doesn't help at all. The high black/white contrast makes the damn thing unreadable.

You can hotkey by hitting a number while in your favorites menu.  Its actually fairly intuitive once you get the hang of it--2 taps to get both hands

I tried equipping 2 swords, but didn't notice faster swings. I couldn't swing one sword until my other sword was done swinging. Compared to my one handed sword, I didn't notice a difference.

You get a perk called dual flurry that increases swing speed.

Then you get a shout that adds on top of that.

And then you are a blender.

And then you equip two pickaxes and mine ALL the things!!!!

Does that work for you? For me it won't work on enchanted weapons so I never used it.

Well, the simple solution for that is to not use enchanted weapons.

Keep a pair of daggers around for it.

It doesn't work on enchanted weapons, so I never use them.

The problem is that the devs overlooked it. Wonder if they are gonna patch the game. If they do will it automatically patch?

[Rose]

They didn't overlook it. It's intentional.

[Leatra]

Most shouts are useless anyway since they have a shared cooldown. I just use the one (fire breath for now) with the greatest DPS
