Also: Fallout 4 VR? Show me the supercomputer from the future that can run a Gamebryo-engine game at an unbroken 90fps at good settings. People will be puking Ebola-style all over their keyboards every time a city map streams into memory.

Skyrim is back, baby. Two things: 1. I hope they take this opportunity to address some gameplay issues. I'm a sucker for pretty graphics, but it would be a shame to waste this opportunity on the surface stuff, and not try to add needed mechanics to the core gameplay. Exciting opportunity, if...

According to IGN (and Official Xbox Magazine), there's likely going to be at least one more DLC expansion, likely called "Redguard" (presumably no relation to the 1998 Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard spinoff-game for PC, if true)...

All Skyrim DLC officially confirmed for PS3 release (finally!) in February: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/01/18/all-skyrim-dlc-coming-to-ps3-in-february Discounted 50% off the first week, finalized release-day TBD.

I definitely hear ya, man. :tu: I really hope they finally get all these kinks worked out so that Sony users can experience this content -- especially if you're a major Morrowind fan, going back to Solstheim (and possibly Vvardenfell) is gonna be, like, a pretty huge deal. When I first saw...

Direct link to that trailer: http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRmdXDH9b1s That punched me right where my nostalgia is. Back to Morrowind. Holy shit. Was that levitation magic in Telvanni mage-towers I saw, there? Also, these Riekling Raiders are (1) riding the back of a combat boar, and (2)...

"Skyrim DLC 'Dragonborn' to Feature Mounted Dragons, Morrowind Armour, Solstheim": http://www.oxm.co.uk/46679/skyrim-dlc-dragonborn-to-feature-mounted-dragons-morrowind-armour-solstheim/ "Squee," indeed. Back to Morrowind? Hell yeah. Bethesda has hinted that there's likely going to be at...

It's not that developers have gotten lazy (including Bethesda's people) -- it's simply that other games aren't nearly as RAM-intensive as The Elder Scrolls/Fallout games are. Having a huge, open world with thousands of little items that stay exactly wherever they're placed is seriously taxing...

And, Christ, as if I didn't feel enough like this with Skyrim as it was... Apparently, according to Bethesda, you can build up to three different homes using this utility, and there's gonna be a shit-ton more new item-/material-crafting added to the main game: Falkreath would be a cool spot...

New Skyrim DLC announced: http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/08/28/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-hearthfire-announced http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gXwNVpDmfo No Skeleton Butler = No Buy. I kid, of course. Seriously, this is kinda cool, especially for those of us playing on consoles. While it...

It might be making it to Sony's platform after all -- now that the hybrid v1.6/v1.7 update is out on the PS3, it's finally looking likelier.

If there's one thing I'm truly saddened by, it's the inability to find my Dovakiin ass sitting in Solitude on a throne made from the skulls of my enemies. Possibly with Delvin Mallory as secretary of the treasury, Cicero as bodyguard/appletini-buddy, Nazir and Babette as enforcers, and J'zargo...

Totally, re: the backstabbing -- there hasn't been this much politics going on in an Elder Scrolls game since Morrowind, with its competing Dunmer Great Houses, Imperial cults, Tribunal Temple and Sixth House intrigues, but Skyrim is bringin' it back. Neither side (the Empire or the...

Ha, not if he recently watched Papillon... Last night, I was playing Arkham City at one point during a friend's New Year's Eve party, and an in-game phone call sent me from one end of the map to the other, in order to answer another phone before someone was murdered. It gave me a...

Funniest bug of the day: a Courier showed up, wearing nothing but a hat. I don't want to know where he kept the message for me.

I'm a big Syracuse basketball fan, currently ranked #1 in the nation. Over the past week, at least four of the players have tweeted pictures of themselves with copies of Skyrim. They have three days off. If they lose to Seton Hall on Wednesday, I am going to have words with Bethesda.

Regarding Cicero: I have never, ever been so giddy and eager to bring about the demise of a character in a video game. Ever. EVER. He didn't even finish asking me to let him live before I was wildly hacking him to death. I might've also yelled FUCKING PRAISE JESUS to the sky, and then roasted...

OK, THIS is why you should play this game on the PC. I always dig those little dynamic events where you come out of a cave, and some guy runs up to you, says, "Here, hold this," and then just runs off. I especially like grabbing him by the shoulder as he turns to run ("Hold on just a second!")...

Also, when I hear thunder, is that Frank Frazetta masturbating in heaven over the female Foresworn armor?

Ran into a stray dog out in the wilds, who helped me out with a wolf attack. I decided to adopt him, and brought him with me to tackle a Foresworn encampment. We're making our way through, dispatching Foresworn vermin like walking gods, when we run into a couple of bosses who give us a bit more...

I'd say about half of Skyrim is now waiting for my character to bring something to them. This guy wants a helmet, that lady want 20 snozzberries, other guy wants something I probably already found and sold off or destroyed for an enchantment. And that skeleton key I'm supposed to return to...

Five Personality Flaws Skyrim Forces You To Deal With. I resent that article's implication that it encourages OCD. Libel, I say! My quest to fill every spare cubic foot of air in my character's house with books and bottles of booze is perfectly healthy, I'll have you know. ::twitch:: I mean...

I'm a little disappointed they're fixing the corpses of your fallen comrades from ruining weddings. Wonder if they're gonna patch the whole, "I-wanna-marry-Lydia-but-I-fricking-CAN'T" bug on the 360 version? Also, for some reason, too many Iron Arrows are unable to be retrieved after being...

Also: [You've just singlehandedly killed a massive-and-ferocious frost dragon. A thief comes up to you.] "Give me all your money, or I'll gut you!!" ...Really?

Had a "funny" happen not long ago: Has anyone else noticed that if someone's talking to you as you enter a building, they'll sometimes follow you inside to finish what they were saying? Anyway, walked into the inn in Ivarstead at night, and started in on a conversation with someone just inside...

Added. My gamertag's "FiveToeEnema," BTW (so you'll know whom it's coming from :D). Dear Lord...this game is owning my soul. I've spent the better part of 10 hours with an arrow sticking out of my butt, courtesy of Lydia. As Thane, I've declared the CHEF'S HAT to be a key feature of her...

BTW, Russell -- which system are you playing on? If the 360, shoot me your gamertag, and I'll add you. And yeah -- I own Breezehaven (or whatever it's called) in Whiterun, and got it fully pimped yesterday. It's the fear of the companions dying that keeps me hoarding them at home. I plan on...

By the way, if you're consistently overburdened, take a look at the food you're hoarding. Some of that food is heavy. At one point, I had the damnedest time trying to figure out why I was so loaded down, then I noticed that sack of 284 carrots, 172 green apples, 348 red apples, 98 cabbages...

Couple of funny-as-shit Skyrim-doings from this weekend: One of the sidequests set me off to collect sap from a magical tree. I find the tree in a huge underground cave with a big stream and lush vegetation, along with a couple of all-too-beatific sightseers expounding on the "beauty" of...
