Anyone else?
Rightclick?

Also to bind stuff to the number keys set whatever you want to bind to Favorites. Open favorites (Q) and then select what you want and hit the number you want to bind it to. Works great. Press the number twice to use the same thing in both hands.

For those looking for a new PC you could probably get something like this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboB...765925-_-Combo

Thats 710 bucks without video card, so figure another 200-250 for the card. I just built a PC last year (I think?) for around 1k, but I have pretty nice stuff on the side, 2 24 inch samsung monitors and Klipsch speakers from years ago.

You probably can get away with a pretty cheap card, I'm running on a ATI HD 5770 which is at least 1.5 years old and from what I'm reading it still can run everything pretty well, and thats only 110 dollars. Video is outpacing what is coming out, so you don't have to get into the 300 dollar range for video. Processor/motherboard is the expensive part, RAM is cheap and you should already have the hard drives. Just something to think about.

Bah. It's a bug. Here's how you get around it :


Favorite the spell.
Press Q and hotkey it to numbers 1 to 10.
Double tap the key to change.


Double tap the # to put it in your right hand. Hit the number once to put it in your left hand.

Runs fine on my GTX9800+ which is over 3 years old.

Thank you! I was wondering if it was even possible to do that.

Ok thanks for the tip on how to hotkey, makes this even more enjoyable. I was only able to play 2 hours this morning, but am loving it so far. Going to play augusta this weekend though, so that seems like a good reason to not play for a few days!

Runs much smoother than I had anticipated, everything on high with a 2 year old mid range machine. Very fun.

Any live streams to watch while I eat? ;p

Mine didn't arrive today even though Amazon said it should.

That's what you get when you dispatch it at five ****ing thirty pm.

Hopefully I can complain and get something out of this though. CAN'T WAIT

would that ruin the rest of the game some how ?

Under "magic" in the menu hub.

You need to absorb a dragon soul to activate each shout. If you haven't killed any dragons yet, you can't use them.

I asked this earlier, but no response. Did anyone get an actual cloth map? Or was that bull****?

i believe collector's edition = cloth and regular edition = paper

I'm gonna open my game when I pick it up at Best Buy and raise hell if there is no cloth map

Nope: http://kotaku.com/5815032/the-elder-...-map-naturally

Bethesda has confirmed today that anyone who pre-orders Skyrim will "automatically receive a premium quality world map with their copy as a no-extra-cost-to-you bonus." The developer adds that the map of Skyrim is made of a "high-grade material that has a feel similar to burlap, and will be available in North America and Europe."

Those who don't pre-order the next Elder Scrolls will have to slum it with a second-class paper version of that map, a rather pedestrian way to look around the world of Skyrim. No one wants to settle for that.

I watched the Day9 stream for a little bit, and now I'm giddy like a little schoolgirl to go home and resume playing this.

I've gotta take my kid to Cub Scouts tonight though. And my wife is sending me naughty texts, hinting (telling me) that I will be busy tonight so to not make any plans.

Gonna have to do what must be done. But tomorrow, my Skyrim quest continues.

All you people who are being cockblocked by the UPS guy, at least you don't have the option!

Maybe I'll just leave the office early. If I'm sitting here watching Day9 streams, I must not be too busy anyway.

The one in mine certainly is premium quality if we're evaluating it as paper (it's definitely higher quality paper). The top certainly has an added texture to it that I guess being generous could be interpreted as burlap-like.

Reading the wording there, I wonder if they were being clever. It doesn't say specifically that it is cloth - but that it feels similar to burlap. maybe the reports interpreted that as cloth and Bethseda never clarified even though it was widely reported as cloth?

Perhaps. Someone earlier in the thread confirmed preordering but not getting a cloth map.
