I believe Skyrim utilizes Steamworks. No matter where you get it, it will link to Steam. Buy the cheapest that you trust. Or wait for a Steam sale. Summer in a few months.

Well the eBay way was definitely the best. $39.99 for the code and the guy sent me the key within 3 minutes of me pressing "confirm payment."
Will definitely look to ebay for future steam purchases, lmao.
NOW FOR TEXTURE PACKS! http://skyrimforums.org/threads/what...talled-d.9086/
Skyrim HD, SkyUI and Water/blood mods for sure.
edit: lol, just got the confirm email from ebay and the game is already at 25%. Insane.
Yeah the game can look amazing once you install 2k textures, vurt's flora, WATER, and a few others. ENB mods make the game look amazing as well but I know some people don't like the DoF effects, you should check out Superb ENB-RL or Sharpshooter's ENB at least though.
yay something that'll give me two weeks of an excuse to reload the game up, completed as much as there could be completed without the shit hole bugs getting in the way, and without exploits :/
In my humble opinion they really waited entirely waay too long to announce dlc. If they weren't working on something before release they should have been. Coupled with the fact that ps3 will not even see any dlc released for 30 days after 360 doesn't help this scenario at all.
They really shouldve been teasing with dlc since feb/march.
I think they waited a good amount of time. The idea of a company working on DLC before the game comes out pisses me off. Plus, I played this game to death the first few months. If they were talking DLC in March, I would not have been interested. I haven't played the game long enough now that the idea of picking it up is appealing.
decided to find this and install after someone posted it up here heres my cute elin mage
Does being so short help with dodging stuff that would normally hit taller people?
I think the ai is designed to hit most of the hitboxes with some accuracy

DOWNLOADING THE BETA UPDATE ON STEAM:
If you’d like to download the 1.6 Beta Update on Steam, you’ll need to follow these steps:
Log into Steam
Click on Steam in the upper menu
Select Settings
Under the Account tab, go to the Beta Participation section and select Change.
A drop down menu will appear. Select Skyrim Beta.
Select OK.
Steam will now restart. After Steam restarts, Skyrim will be updated to the Beta version currently available.
If you opt into the Beta, be sure to back up your saved games or simply be careful not to overwrite your existing saves. If you decide to opt out of the beta program, your old saves will still work with the current release of Skyrim on Steam (v 1.5).
If you decide you don’t want to run the Beta anymore, redo steps 1 – 4. At the drop down, select NONE – Opt out of all beta programs. Let Steam restart, and Skyrim will automatically update itself back to the latest released version.
Those gargoyles are gonna look pretty fucking sweet flying backwards!
So I want to get back in to Skyrim again. The reason I stopped playing was because my character got too powerful for all the mobs on its normal difficulty, and when I turned the difficulty up everything was fine except for the boss mobs which would rape me in one hit.
Has a mod came out that fixed this yet? And which one?
I stopped playing because of how stupid easy it became to become over powered even if you didn't abuse the enhancement.
Eh, I don't mind feeling overpowered in games, Especially at later points. I quite like my character not dying to a stray moth passing gas in my general direction.
My friend raged like you about it too. "too easy". I'm like.. Yah, Its a bit easy, Skills like Sneak + Archery pretty much ensure you can kill anything in the game before it sees you... in one hit... But I enjoy doing that. When i play the Assassin, I like knowing I can clear an entire room comfortably, Or if i wanted to do dagger combat I have abilities that make me feel like a badass shadow-assassin (Level 100 Sneak Perk).
I guess it does feel a bit... easy, I kinda just like feeling like a badass. not Joe EveryMortal. Though i can see why playing a game with a "non-Cheat" Godmode would likely lose novelty to some people ;X
You could try the deadly dragons mod, which you can also use the altar it adds in the main hall of dragonsreach to adjust other NPCs stats. (and of course, increase the stats of dragons!)
it also adds a handful of new dragons, plus adds new abilities to old ones. I think there was 14 types? or something, though i've only met 3 new ones so far. shock dragon, which uses lightning breath and is a total nightmare to fight for a mage, forest dragon, which uses an explosive blast breath and seemed not so bad, and recently... a nether dragon. fuck. nether dragons.
It casts invisible on itself that lasts for like 30 seconds and won't wear off if it attacks or is hit, uses a fus breath that moves fast and hits like a truck, and i swear the things psychic. you cannot seem to dodge it with sprinting, erratic movements, or anything. he WILL manage to hit you somehow unless you cower behind a rock.
He also uses an explosive fus ro dah that blasts anything within about 15 feet of where it hits.
I died about 20 times trying to kill him, and i had daphne, esburn, his atranarch, sven, and my own shade with me to help and serve as distractions. Oh, and this was only on adept difficulty. >: His explosive breath alone would take off most of my hp, and if i was unlucky enough to be caught in the open, his fus breath would finish me in about 1 second. He even snuck up on me while invisible and got a killbite in once.
