Alas, nothing for me. Guess I'll wait 'til tomorrow, and otherwise wait for impressions to see if I'll actually shell out the money for this.
Well, it was worth a try but it seems only a very small number of applicants actually got through.
Okay, has any "international" applicant gotten into the beta yet? Bethesda forum beta thread rages about it being US only.
Of course it could be that 75% of invites were sent to US people and the rest are being sent to international people?
If the beta is US only despite the implication it is not, it is going to be a negative PR for Bethesda...

Can someone try the Oghma Infinium glitch with the new patch?
I'm wondering about this too after reading the Bethesda forums. It seems no international applicants got through even though the beta sign up was for both US and International users. We'll have to see later today.

So has the second wave been released yet?

Doubt it, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
Poop.
They shouldn't have announced that beta users would be getting the content for free so soon.

Thanks! Didn't fully realize just how lucky I am until I heard how few people got in. It's especially good timing for me cuz I'm feeling sick, so I'll be home all week doing almost nothing but trying to break the beta.

played a few more hours on my 206h character... worked beautifully.... perfect 60 fps. good update.
I'd be feeling sick if I got into the beta too.....
I'm pretty sure it's a Nigerian Prince that gives you the beta code.

Don't get your hopes up.
I found one of those stones before i realized it was a quest... sold it off to a vendor somewhere and i don't think i'll ever find it now haha
Yes, got that one - I really don't know where the missing one is - quite annoying.

Speaking of clearing out your quest log...
I finished the main story yesterday and want to clear out my miscellaneous quests before putting the game back on the shelf.
Does anybody know what entrance to Blackreach is closest to some available crimson nirnroot? I have like 20/30 and I really don't want to scour the depths for them. I'd rather find, exit, wait and return.

Skyrim is much better when you're not OCD'ing about the quest log.
It's also much better with Kinect commands turned off.

Does "Fuck" consistently trigger Fus Roh Dah?
I got a code for it yesterday morning.

Among other things. "Oh Ah Viing" triggers "Fo Krah Diin" and "Fucking Kinect" triggers "Pause Game".

Well, then, all you need to do is to figure out "alternate" commands for each command and use those, and the Kinect features work well.
Glad i haven't bought Kinect

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Try to actually complete some quest lines (it doesn't have to be the "main" questline either). If you don't you'll end just just running around looking at random caves for hours not doing anything, although to be fair that's part of the appeal of ES games. Just try to get some quests in is all I'm saying.

As someone who was in the exact same position as you just weeks ago, let me say this... you WILL be sucked
This game is just goddam unbelievable. Never have I been so fully sucked into and absorbed in a fictional world. There is a staggering level of detail, endless things to do and see and explore, and countless ways that your individual play experience will feel unique.
I've had it for about two weeks now and have put in 45 hours. I haven't touched a main quest line since around hour 30, and I am not even beginning to feel the creeping feeling that I may be burned out on the game soon. I just want to play it forever and ever and ever (or, conversely, until I get all 1000 gamerpoints. One of the few games I think I'll do this for)
Anyway good luck, and enjoy all that Tamriel has to offer
You should try Morrowind then, preferably with mods... you will be even more sucked!
Wow. That actually is funny. I shouldn't have clicked on the other videos linked around it, cause that sucked the smile off my face.

I stopped playing Skyrim a few hours ago, and when I came back to it just now and loaded up my save the frame rate was hovering around 10fps. Just earlier it was running around 50 in the exact same area. Tried restarting the game, loading up different saves, traveling to different areas, but the frame rate is still ridiculously low. No idea what's going on...?
Yeah, physics glitches tend to cause heavy frame rate drops. Regardless of game.
Fast travel or just travel somehere else for some time and then come back, if you can.

What system are you playing it on? I've had that problem on the 360 a couple of times and I needed to delete a bunch of saves to clear it up.
I've said it before, but it's good advice for all Bethesda console games: Don't keep more than 15-20 saves!

You know, I think a Dawnguard OT might not be neccesary. You guys agree? I mean, the FNV DLCs got their own, but they died after a week. Might as well keep the discussion here, no?

Yep, I think it'd be fine to discuss it here.
Fine with me.

Anybody know of a good place that has a lot of skill books? I need 13 more skill book skill increases for the achievement and would like to get that since its the last one I need.

And done, OT updated.
Thanks for the title change, Duckroll!

There is no one place that has a lot of skill books. Maybe the College library? I usually just place the cursor over a book. If the price is 50+ gold, than chances are it's a skill book, as most non-skill books seem to be priced between 5-10 gold.
You forgot about the Dragonbone weapons.
