The expansion I think will only be available via download from xbox live. Did you at least download the patches? It fixes a lot of the major problems.
Now that the "newness" factor has worn off for me, I think it's a great game, but I'm not sure if it's going to rank as one of my favorite games of all time. It's definitely very solid, and well worth the money spent to purchase it, but I'm not sure if it would receive an epic ranking from me. It's very good, but not fantastically great. |

Compared to all other single player role playing games released the last few years Skyrim stands head and shoulder above the rest. As I have written before there are lots of things I do not like with Skyrim the fact is that I have spent more hours on it than any other SP RPG in years. Fun hours and I am still not done with it. I am sure that I will start both one or two more characters in the reasonably near future.
I also think that as we grow older and more experienced our taste gets more advanced. I am not sure that if we had played many of the games we have such fond memories today that we would find them as great. I know that I am way more picky nowadays than ten years ago. |

I largely agree with your assessment - especially the part about Skyrim being the best SP RPG in last several years by a wide margin.
My assessment was really questioning whether or not it is a "Pantheon" game for me. I'm not sure it's there - and at this point, I think it's going to fall just short. It's like the difference between BG/SoA/ToB as compared with IWD/HoW/TotL. The former is a Pantheon game series, the latter is just very good. Or, to throw out a Blizzard comparison, it's like the difference between the Diablo series and Warcraft/Starcraft series. Again, the first is Pantheon, the second isn't, but still a great game series. The Total War series is another example of a great game that falls just short of Pantheon status. Keep in mind that for me, the Pantheon is a very, very, exclusive group. It's the BG series, the Diablo series, the Civilization series, Sid Meier's Pirates (countless hours spent on both the original and subsequent one 20 years later), and the Pool of Radiance Series from TSR dating back to the 1980s of my childhood. Actually, this deserves it's own thread... |

This game might deserve a 4, but I've given a 5 based solely on the fun I've had with it. I almost haven't had this much fun playing games in years, perhaps even a decade. Sure, it had bugs, but it was huge fun.

Four from me. My disappointments with Skyrim are mostly to do with the insane lack of spells and the lack of in-world relevance of anything you do. The Civil War questline, just as an example...
Spoiler! ...but ultimately it's just simply a fun game. The graphics, the character customisation, the flavour of the setting, the opportunity to play without NPCs etc. I'll rank it about equal with Dragon Age (which I found utterly tedious storywise but very fun in other areas so, similar experience weirdly!). |

Prolly gonna get me in some trouble but....
I happily give Skyrim a 1/5 stars. The previews looked great, actually everything looked great. After starting it, waiting for installation (PS3) and trying to sit through the talking I just thought it was terrible. I borrowed a friends copy so I'm glad I didn't waste any money on this. I had nothing but errors and glitches. Utlimately very very boring. I gave up on Bethesda awhile back after Fallout on ps3. There are MUCH MUCH better rpg's on ps3 than this.

90 percent of the glitches and whatsnot, has been fixed with patches now. Allthough I never encountered many of them to begin with (xbox360).
Thu, 21st Jun '12, 1:46pm | #33 |
I think a lot of it has to do with when you purchased the game. My understanding was that it was terribly buggy when it first came out. I did not purchase Skyrim until March, and so for me, the worst of it was already over - fixed with the first couple of patches. Evidently a new patch came out yesterday, as I was forced to download it when I tried to play.
To be frank, I don't understand how some people can have such poor impressions of the game. I can understand if you don't think it's a great game, but it's been one of the better RPGs to come out in a long time. If you like RPGs, and you like fantasy games, I can't understand how you can't think it's at least an "OK" game. |

I got the game 2 days before release (pre-ordered it, and i got it early). The only bug I ever encountered was when quests didn`t update. It was a game breaking bug, but a simple re-load fixed this. I never encountered any other bug. Maybe its just alot worse on PS3?

I bought it day one and haven't seen a single bug or glitch. I experienced a slow down and some crashes in my first game but I thought it was due to my computer. It didn't happen in my other games so I guess it was the game. I still enjoyed it a lot, I even enjoyed it while it crashed a bit more than acceptable but only ever saw crashes in my first game and the first week or so.

Story, irrelevant, to me had 0 tension. Combat/Mechanics, imho way to simple (largely the magic system/spells available). UI.. terrible, absolutely terrible (defined on how many actions it takes to switch a spell/change equipment/sell-all-gems). Art, loved every green area disliked the many gray ones (50%+?). But it is a good "world simulator" one can drop,place and pick up anything, people have occupations/property, the exp-principle get-better-at-what-you-do and most importantly mod support. mods>all. I guess it depends on what one finds fun, personally I want to have a set of as different as possible actions for my character(s) and try to find out what happens eg. support-xy/murder-everything*/pacifist or using enhance-jump to get to a ledge for save ranged attacks/invisibility+silent kills/ultra-shield+flaming feet... In Skyrim my actions are either not that different from each other or have a to similar/weak effect. *I still remember how annoyed I was at Fallout: New Vegas for no one caring that I slaughtered the entire ceasar's legion camp (with my fists, ..naked) :/. |

I'll give it a 4 - due to the follower issue. They were so static, I ended up dropping them after a bit. Overall, though, I thought it was a great game, pretty to look at it and very playable. I didn't experience very many glitches. I do wish the game offered different sort of environments though - I got a little tired of seeing the same gray colors of the rocks/snow, etc. There didn't seem to be much change from that, even down in the southern parts of the region. I know it's supposed to be in the northern area of the continent, but a little greenery would have been nice! (other than what was found in a handful of caves).

I really really wanted to give the game a poor score, because I have a rather huge chip on my shoulder about Bethesda. I have repeatedly been excited about one of their releases and disappointed with the reality.
I tried really hard not to get sucked into the hype around Skyrim, but ended up picking it up on a steam sale, cause it was the only thing anyone at work was talking about for a weeks. So, the base Skyrim is extremely pretty. Being from the north myself, it made me badly homesick - Bethesda has always done scenery quite well, and they didnt shirk here. They do NOT do as well with character models. ALL of the elf-based races look awful, and the humans are only a little better. I settled on an Orc, because it's hard to **** up giant tusks and green skin. He was a fighter-mage. Axe in one hand, spell in the other. One big thing in their favor is that all of the noob-level spells are flamethrower style - making them vastly easier to use than the standard firebolts and such from Oblivion. Unfortunately they dont scale, so you eventually have to move on to the firebolts/balls and then it's near-impossible to hit anything. Also, spells and arrows both seem to have crazy short range. After trying to shoot a mammoth at medium range for a minute or so and not knowing how the hell I was missing, I went to the internets, wherein the true glory of Skyrim was revealed. Mods. (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/21586 fixed the slow-projectiles issue.) If you're playing on something other than PC, you are sorely missing out. Mods to fix the terrible faces, mods to fix your horse trying to tank dragons, mods to fix your iron ingots weighing more than the ore they're smelted down from, mods to adjust the crummy ragdoll effects on bodies, mods that turn some of the "infinite use, but 30 second duration" racials (khajit) into a toggle, mods that fix the god-awful interface. Mods that fix bugs. http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/19 - the Unofficial Skyrim Patch is a nearly must-have. It fixes sooo many things. As many other people have said, the characters are a bit wooden, and they could have had a little bit more in the way of different voices, but I think the real issue that drove me nuts was the interface - and specifically the things that were obvious carry-overs from it's console-designed roots. Potions refuse to sort in any sort of sane manner. The mouse controls - especially in menus - are incredibly sluggish, and cant be turned up sufficiently with the in-game UI. Ini modification can fix it for aiming in the world, but not in the menus. The menus themselves are hard to navigate, and often nested in order to accommodate D-pad controls. I was pretty stoked that you can equip a spell on either hand, and a weapon on either hand. I quickly reversed which button did what, because having the right click swing the left sword, and vice versa drove me insane - but then found that spells from your quick-select menu automatically went to the left hand, and weapons to the right. Then I found that you cant use a shield at all unless it's in the left hand, and with a bow "main" click will always be draw and fire. I eventually got used to shooting the bow with right-click, and zooming in with left, but I never could use a shield. Many many many of the quests are of the "fetch me this thing from this dungeon full of random bandits!" which were pretty uninspiring. There are a LOT of such quests, if you just want some motivation to kill bandits - and sometimes that's fine, but engaging storytelling it is not. The main plots are not actually terrible. The Dark Brotherhood and thieves guild plots are both quite solid. The Companions guild is pretty good - though Spoiler! The Mages guild questline is so so. Nothing it brings up is ever really explained. I have no idea how anyone could ever side with the Imperials after they're about to execute you for "Cause you happened to be there, and now it sucks to be you". The Stormcloak quests seemed like they should have been so awesome, but after a half-dozen "Go to this fort, kill everyone there. Now on to the next!" quests I just wanted it to end - and end it did, with a tolerable speech, and a "I bet some more plot will happen eventually-but-not-during-this-game" epilog. Dragons are neat - but frustrating to fight. They're near impossible to hit with ranged weapons while moving due to the terrible physics on projectiles, and they seem to have an arbitrary dislike for landing more often than once every 5 minutes or so. Eventually when they are no longer terrifying the game starts to feel like dragon-exterminator, and they lose a bit of their grandeur. Again - mods can fix this - http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/21528 - making the dragons you run into once you've leveled up a bit still at least moderately scary. On the whole I'd give the base game a 3 - but the fantastic mod support made possible by the very very solid editor has led to the ability to tweak almost any of the things that are really bothering you, and smooth out some of the rough edges. As much as I hate to give it one, post mod support it gets a 4. |

I have played over 700 hours of Skyrim and gotten my money's worth. I have not purchased the DLC Dawnguard and probably won't unless there is a mod that I really want that needs Dawnguard. I only gave it a rating of three because of the bugs and problems Modders doing quest mods are having.

As for Dwanguard, I like it for the new enemies and new items. I like dragonbone weapons, I like crossbows, I like dragons once again becoming very fearsome opponents with the introduction of revered and legendary dragons. |

Skyrim is great. Dawnguard is not great. My level 5 character got attacked, along with cizizens of the town, 6 people killed, and I got turned into a vamp. Now i am forced to play a creature that Twilight has forever ruined for me. Fun. Some of the people killed in town also has quests tied to them, as well. Nice gamebreaker Bethesda.

Isn't vampirism easily curable the first few days?

It was in the previous game. By walking into a temple and activating a shrine. I did that. Doesn`t work. So now I can`t use stores anymore, because I get attacked on sight every time I enter a city. That chic in Whiterun that I was going to deliver a mammoth tusk for, died as well. Killed by a random vamp that attacked the marketplace. The old lady in the marketplace died too. I seem to remember she was involved with the Dark Brotherhood questline. I guess that one is screwed too.
Tue, 28th Aug '12, 3:43pm | #45 |
Unless you let vampirism go for more than few days, it's curable with a simple cure disease potion, purchasable from any alchemist for about 100 septims. I know because I've done it. However, if you're being attacked on sight, you've already progressed to full-blown vampirism, and the potion won't work. You need to feed on someone to get that taken care of. Of course, that's going to require you to sneak into a town unseen, find someone sleeping and do it. So you don't want to go to Whiterun for that. (Although the Whiterun stables offer a decent possibility.) Failing that, going into Riverwood where there are few guards and breaking into a house should do the trick.
Now that you've progressed to full-blown vampirism, the only way to cure it is by visiting that guy in Morthal. I don't recall his name, but he's the local wizard in the town. You'll also need a filled black soul gem - which he does sell, at a cost of around 2000 septims. It is extremely unfortunate that Whiterun got hit that hard so early in the game - I might have just restarted if that happened to me. In my previous playthough with Dawnguard, it was Riften that was ground zero for the vampire carnage. That was subject to numerous citizen deaths, although not all at once, and certainly not when I was level 5. I actually was capable of completing several in-city quests before major characters started to die. All the merchants in the marketplace were eventually killed. The only one left was Balimund's apprentice, who took over the Scorched Hammer after Balimund's death. The only real solution to this is to start the Dawnguard questline. If you side with the vampires, you won't see any more vampire attacks, but you will see Dawnguard attacks on you. (Of course, they're vampire hunters, so they don't attack townspeople.) |

I actually DID drink a potion of cure disease. Didn`t work. I did the quest in Morthal, however, and got rid of the vampirism. Sadly, when I did the next dawnguard mission, I got infected yet again. I drank a cure disease potion immediatly when it happened. Lets hope it worked...

I picked p the game earlier this year and couldn't get into it. (Probably a 2).
Got bored waiting for BGEE and decided to try again. I love it! I'm still fairly early in the game. My most difficult quest to date (my fault for letting myself be distracted) was tailing some guy named Gulum-Ei. I lost him after the distraction and couldn't find him to save my life. Finally went to an earlier save and never lost site of him. Killed anyone that got in my way (not sure, but this may be why I'm now being attacked by guards in Markath with a bounty on my head). I'm now at the point where I just got the Nightingale Armor set. Cool!!! A few queries: 1) Not sure I understand how one uses poison in their attacks. I drank it once by accident and started taking damage. 2) I bought the game through Steam and it says I have version 1.4. Now I'm hearing that 1.8 is coming out. What happened to all the other versions in between? My rating: 4 Edit: 1 other thing that happened was with the vendor outside of Dawnstar. My 2nd appearance there, I was greeted by them in a heated battle with a dragon. The vendor was killed before I could intervene and I haven't seen any of them again in any city. |

I gave it a 4. It is an awesome game, very big map, lots of quests, cool graphics. However, the story is a bit weak. Also, I hated how the Dark Brotherhood story ends, I was more satisfied with how the Thieves' Guild story turned out. After I finished all of the DB quests, I felt like "Really, that's it? No awesome comeback? I mean sure I killed the emperor and all but still. Something awesome should have happened."
I think you have to highlight the poison and then press enter or E? I'm not entirely sure. I forgot. A smaller window should appear asking if you want to poison your weapon or not. |
I'm all about stupid! |

Thanks Aldeth!!!
Shortly after posting my reply, I started a new job which necessitated me arising at 4:30 AM and getting home in the early evening; which leaves little time to play. But... I've moved forward with Smithing, Enchanting, (each time I do alot of smithing (iron daggers) I save them to advance enchanting). Soon, I'll be able to smith and enchant better armor and weapons. I'm still using the Nightingale Armor (made Exquisite through smithing). Currently going through some of Mages guild quests so I can use Healing and Destruction. Lately, there's been this grey horse that seems to be following me around. Is this a freeby? Hope so. 'Cause I have managed to get him killed. Had to dismount to take care of a Frost Troll that attacked us. While in the battle, a giant killed the horse. So I whomped him good. Haven't gotten around to trying that poison thing yet, but I will. Does it also work on top of the elemental damage that the weapon does? This game has me VERY addicted. Is there any way to upgrade my review to 5? Thanks again!!! Started a new game after that episode in Markarth. If this keeps up, I'm in trouble when they finally release BGEE. |

AG Cuccinelli on donation caps, judges, elections and Ho Chi Minh – Part IV
Wednesday, May 22, 2013
Four Part hour interview with AG Ken Cuccinelli March, 2012Cuccinelli says "no caps" on donations for his campaign
Caps on donations:
As far as the Center for Public Integrity's complaint that Virginia had no caps on campaign contributions Cuccinelli doesn't agree but if there was it should be very high he said. "I'd have a real problem picking some line to reign in first amendment rights."
He concluded that he'd benefit more than anyone else if there were campaign donation caps. When he campaigned in the senate he said he had "many, many more small donors." He claimed to now have over three times the number of donors than Governor McDonnell had in 2009. "We

Mountain biking and cycling
Special routes have also been set out for cyclists and mountain bikers. It's easy (and fun!) to combine many of the cycle paths with ferry crossings so that you can also enjoy a bit of island hopping too. The mountain bike trails may take you off road too so watch out for the mud!
Diving in the Delta
Dive into the waters of Zeeland's river delta and discover the giant lobsters, starfish, sea anemones and various kinds of fish that are waiting beneath the waves. New species and new discoveries are found every year in the delta's salty waters.
The Walking Network is a regional network of footpaths that stretches across almost the entire province of Zeeland. The footpaths are numbered and clearly signposted so that you can easily plot your own route, either beforehand, or as you go along. You can decide how long you want your walk to be, and where you want to go to. The numbered routes are designed to take you through the most beautiful parts of Zeeland, often along specially-designed unhardened paths. Walking has never been this much fun!
More about walking in Zeeland
Water sports
From sailing to water-skiing and from water jumping to wakeboarding: it's all possible in Zeeland. There are surf schools all along the coast offering surfing or kitesurfing lessons. And have you ever thought about going stand-up paddle boarding? A complete workout for your entire body!
Horse riding
Explore Zeeland's islands on horseback. There are numerous bridleways leading to the beaches, woods and nature areas as part of the Cycle and Walking Network and there is nothing quite like riding a horse along the seashore or galloping through the surf. Whichever route you choose, horse riding in Zeeland is always a wonderful experience.

for a while now i've been thinking about putting together a reading list
that would cover subjects relevant to skepticism of religion. a couple
of weeks ago i set out to do that. the list will enable the reader to
mount a full-fledged intellectual defense of skepticism of religion as i
believe we all should be capable of. credit to Greg
Gorey, TA member, for his help with suggestions- particularly in
the Philosophy section- and as a sounding board for my own ideas on what
shape the list should take (please assume, however, that any failings
that you perceive the list to have are my own doing).
by no means do I think that this list is utterly complete, merely comprehensive (exhaustive?). as such, i hope the list will also exist as a conversation starter on which titles you think are important when it comes to the ability comprehensively defend skepticism of religion. may it also be helpful to the questioning theist who is generally interested in knowing whether her beliefs are in accord with objective reality.
the titles are listed alphabetically within each category and so a title's position in the list shouldn't indicate the emphasis with which they are suggested to the reader. the titles vary in the author's assumption of the familiarity the reader has with the subject matter. therefore, the reader should, before selecting a title to read, check out descriptions and reviews of the titles in order to see that they do not select a title that is beyond their current depth.
I hope you find this list useful to you. please also find it attached below in PDF form for convenience and to enable you to easily share it.

Wow a great list!
I thought it was going to be a little one sided; all skeptics and non-religious folk, but you have included scholars like E.P. Sanders and James Dunn.
Another book and person you should add is John H Walton, a leading scholar in Genesis at the moment and pretty much debunks how YEC read the Genesis 1.
The Lost World of Genesis One: Ancient Cosmology and the Origins Debate
The stuff he says is truly incredible and has led some of my theology friends to re-consider 6-day creation.
Thank you for taking the time to do this. Your list is epic. I just hope I can get most of them on my kindle considering how full my book selves already are.
thanks Tammy. i'm glad you find the list valuable to you at all. :)
I must know: have you read all these, Nelson?
I will forever ask you if I need to know something from now on...
Beyond brilliant. I'll add this to my ever-growing (already over 350 books) booklist. Sigh. Wish me luck.
Thank you so much for the effort of putting this together, Nelson, and for the breakdown of what are must-reads in one of your earlier comments. Much appreciated and bookmarked.

Big 5: Syracuse zone wears down Villanova
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Villanova coach Jay Wright had a plan to attack Syracuse's vaunted 2-3 zone.
It worked for a while, but not nearly long enough as the seventh-ranked Orange overcame a tough first half and beat the Wildcats, 72-61, Saturday.
"We tried to go inside-out in the first half and they did a good job of taking that away in the second half and making us rely on the jump shot," Wright said. "It's a cat-and-mouse game. You've got to try to get it inside. They just did a better job in the second half than we did."
C.J. Fair had 22 points, and redshirt freshman Trevor Cooney made a pair of 3-pointers to punctuate a late surge as Syracuse rallied after being held to a season-low 27 points in the first half.
Villanova held a two-point lead at the break and a 26-18 rebounding edge as Syracuse shot 30.3 percent (10-of-33) and struggled from behind the arc, going 1-for-7, and registered only three assists.
The Wildcats managed only eight points in the paint in the second half and were outrebounded, 16-14, as the game slipped away.
"We really wanted to come in and see if we could take a game from them, but the second half we just didn't bring the intensity that we brought in the first half," freshman guard Ryan Arcidiacono said. "We kind of went away from playing Villanova basketball. We've just got to learn how to play 40 minutes of solid basketball."
JayVaughn Pinkston led Villanova with 12 points and Mouphtaou Yarou had 11 points and 14 rebounds.
La Salle 71, Richmond 59
PHILADELPHIA — Tyrone Garland led four La Salle scorers in double figures with 17 points as the Explorers topped Richmond for their first Atlantic 10 Conference win of the season. Continued...
Tyreek Duren added 15 points, Jerrell Wright 12 and Steve Zack 11 for La Salle (11-4, 1-1), which dropped its A-10 opener against Charlotte Wednesday.
Saint Joseph's 74, Duquesne 66
PITTSBURGH — Ronald Roberts Jr. posted his sixth double-double of the season, and Saint Joseph's held off Duquesne in Atlantic 10 action.
Roberts had 13 points and 11 rebounds for the Hawks (9-5, 1-1).
Princeton 65, Penn 53
PRINCETON, N.J. — T.J. Bray scored 23 points to lead Princeton to a victory over Penn in the Ivy League opener for both.
James Madison 51, Drexel 43
HARRISONBURG, Va. — Rayshawn Goins and Devon Moore each scored 14 points to lead James Madison to a win over Drexel in a poor shooting effort by both teams.
Taylor Bessick nearly had a double-double with nine points and 13 rebounds for the Dukes (9-8, 3-1 Colonial Athletic Association), who won their second straight game.

Sierra Leone's incumbent president won re-election and was sworn in for a second term, pledging to boost the economy of the nation scarred by years of civil war.
President Ernest Koroma got nearly 59% of the vote, beating his closest competitor's 37% in an election international observers described as peaceful.
By getting more than 55%, he avoided a second round of voting with the opposition frontrunner.
Following his win, Koroma called for unity as he was sworn in late Friday.
"Let us, as we celebrate, be mindful that the work starts today and every Sierra Leonean from all political parties, regions, ethnic group, age and religion is central to our agenda for prosperity," the president said. "We must therefore embrace each other as we march forward with action, bravery, commitment, discipline, empathy and fortitude."
Koroma, 59, a former insurance executive, assumed office in 2007. Supporters have credited him with improving infrastructure while critics have said he has not addressed rampant corruption.
"I will make sure the fruits of the agenda for prosperity are equality distributed in every district of the country and enjoyed by all," he said in his swearing-in . The work starts today."
The United States applauded him and hailed the west African nation's democracy.
"This election demonstrates the progress that Sierra Leone has made in strengthening its democratic institutions since the end of the civil war in 2002," White House spokesman Jay Carney said in a statement.
Sierra Leone's economy was gutted by an 11-year civil war that ultimately left 50,000 dead or missing

Obama gun control initiative draws impeachment threat

The White House's proposal to curb violent gun-related crime has provoked conservatives into a state of near-apoplexy, with at least one Republican House member suggesting he would bring impeachment proceedings against the president.
On Jan. 16, President Obama announced several legislative proposals and 23 executive actions after a month-long review process led by Vice President Joe Biden.
The president recommended that Congress approve requiring universal background checks for all gun sales, restoring a ban on military-style assault weapons, establishing a 10-round limit for ammunition magazines, implementing a federal gun trafficking statute, allocating funds to hire more police officers, providing mental health services in schools and more.
He also announced several executive actions that will be taken immediately, including: strengthening the background check system, helping schools to hire more resource officers and develop emergency preparedness plans and directing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to research the causes of gun violence and ways to prevent it.
"I intend to use whatever weight this office holds to make them a reality," the president said. "If there is even one thing we can do to reduce this violence, if there is even one life that can be saved, then we've got an obligation to try."
It seems some Republicans are equally devoted to defeating the president's proposals, which they say encroaches on the constitutional right to bear arms.
"I will seek legislation overturning the Orders. I will seek legislation barring funds to enforce the Orders. I will seek legislation to cut White House funding should the President issue and enforce such Orders. I will support legal efforts to overturn the Orders in court," vowed Rep. Steve Stockman (R-Texas). And, he added, if those measures fail, "I will consider speaking with my colleagues and filing articles of impeachment."
