Ok, this is strange. I tried to replicate the texture bug and the following occurred:
While the game is installed to the HDD and you load an auto-save the textures are fine.
While the game is installed to the HDD and you load a normal save the textures are low-res.
While the game is running of the DVD and you load an auto-save or a normal save the textures are (even more? (have to try it again to confirm)) low-res.
I will try installing to my USB drive later.
The load times are about two times as long when not installed.
It was also mentioned that the game stutters when opening books but I only had this once while having read maybe 50 books.
And in about 10 hours I have yet to encounter a single bug (well, except for the texture one).

Got a message I can come pick up the game today. It's the PC version though. Can't play it untill 11.11.11 because of Steam right? Le sigh.

Wow... I was actually right. :ODonat said:
First Skyrim is out this week and then I guess about a solution and I'm actually right.
It's the old Gamebryo cache problem rearing it's ugly head again. I had to delete my cache every hour or so with New Vegas just to keep loading to a sane level. The good news is this should be easily fixable with a patch. Lets hope the first patch does just that.
Thanks for being kind enough to throw us poor and desperate souls a bone.
So any PS3 footage?
These past few months had me not as enthused about gaming as I had been due to work stress and school.
Uncharted 3 and Dark Souls were great games, but I didn't really enjoy them as much as I would have, and I'm struggling to even muster the will to start playing Batman. Hopefully Skyrim breaks me out of it, or I might just save it 'till my semester is finished.
Oh my, looks like Bethesda and Sony Cert didn't test the patch as it should have.

Put the disc in, it asks me to update. I do that, then it installs and gives me a starting error. It returns to the XMB where I can't launch the disc and the name is - Uhh wtf?
Reset my ps3 and it's installing now tho

Havent read every post, but theres an EB in loganhome (Queensland Aus) thats breaking the street date supposedly tomorrow.
Sorry if everyone has the game already, but for my fellow Aus gaffers it might help out.
Also, if one store breaks the date, anywhere will sell!
Sooo hyped for this goddamn game!

Well done Ghaleon. well done.GhaleonEB said:I wish it was my parenting skills. :lol
My daughter is scary-smart, and while I'll take some credit as the source of 1/2 of her genes, it's all her. Natalie soaks up information like a sponge. She knew the alphabet at 15 months, was sight reading at age 2, was sleeping with a dictionary under her pillow at age 5, reading almanacks and encyclopedias at age 6 and full sized novels at age 7. She plows through around 500 pages a week, easy, and tests in the top 0.1% for reading in the state for kids her age.
Yes, this is a parental brag post.
Me, I love that I have such a fluent gamer at such a young age.

The game will unlock according to three different regions
Australia, UK/Europe, and US. Each region will unlock at 12:01am Friday. It looks like the New Zealand unlock will happen on the Aussie EST at 12:01, which would be Friday 2am in NZ.

Has anyone tried a mage yet? How does it compare to Morrowind / Oblivion?

Ok so far the Ps3 version seems really good, I noticed one little hitch in the intro section during a cutscene but I think it was either loading something or saving.. So far no tearing that I can see, framerate is good but not locked 30 fps or anything I dont think. Visuals are really good, the only thing I didnt like so far were the kinda stumpy animations of npc characters running, a bit blocky shadows while picking up a book and equipping a fire spell.
Controls take some getting used to, but hell I only played it for about an hour so far or maybe a bit more. Made a dark elf character, and Im uploading a vid I shot with my GS2 onto youtube. But the video kind of sucks lol. Game seems GREAT so far tho. Combat is meatier than Oblivion, much more feedback.

For what it is worth I did not notice longer loading times the longer I played. But then again I only played for about 10 hours.Mastperf said:Wow... I was actually right. :O

Woa. Memories of playing the expansion packs from Morrowind just came back to me. I love this shit.Kuraudo said:

Alright, bought the game (PC version). Does anyone know what the red X's are on the map? Treasure, towns, dungeons...?

I wonder what will be considered canon: the player siding with the empire or the nationalists? I sincerely hope it's the latter, as I'm tired of the games' stance on imperialism.

Not so sure. I know plenty of people that didn't like Oblivion simply because of some systems they fixed from Oblivion to FO3 and have now carried over to Skyrim.
