Yeah...well that's beacuse you either haev to buy one or be given one...beacuse talking someone elses horse is stealing. If the action thingy in the middle of your screen is red...that means youre doing something wrong.

The horse i'm riding in that picture I just purchased. Cost me a pretty penny at 5000 septims, however it is the fastest and second strongest in all of Cyrodil. The Black horse can only be purchased at the stables in Cheydinhal.

Oh god i'm starting to talk like the characters in the game.

I saw that this thread had like 14 pages of info and I felt that it needed a touch of Coleman.

I have no idea what you're all talking about though.

Bugs/Fixes listed here: http://www.elderscrolls.com/forums/inde ... pic=276563
http://www.elderscrolls.com/forums/inde ... pic=277860

The game is fantastic, totally immersive, love it. I had Morrowind when that was out but couldn't get involved with all the tiny details, reading, techniques, etc but this is exactly the right balance. The dialogue is interesting and you can skip whatever you like, you basically can do anything in the world, explore or do side/main quests.

Any way of takin screenshots other than the method i mentioned or by using fraps?

Ive no fucking clue how this game is played, all i know is so far when i attack people that own little inns and stuff even if theyre unarmed i rarely am able to kill them with my sword despite slashing the shit out of them 6 or 7 times. Mosta the time they are able to run away and get a guard. loney: eek:

BTW miyagi check your pm. plzdie:

36 hours in and JUST finished getting all my recommendations to enter the Arcane University.

It is definitely worth it though.

I just got my 7600GT and new mobo/cpu - will be very interested to see what kind of graphical upgrade I get. . .If I can put some more detail in the world, and get my frames constantly above 20 - its fine by me.

I was fucking around earlier with the ini, changeda couple of options and got the higher res textures to display over a further distance, kills my fps though. This is everything maxed (no hdr or fsaa) plus the ini modification.
