Skyrim

I need to find time for this game, my big fear is that my time is going to go to SWTOR soon, but I will just hold on to this and wait for my ADD to kick in.

Playing this game later is certainly not a bad thing. Especially with SWTOR an all the other MP games that everyone is playing now. Skyrim is one to come back to when the MP frenzy is over.

From Joystiq a Skyrim map is coming to the iTunes marketplace for free.

You could always download a large PDF of the entire world of Skyrim and either print that out or clumsily navigate it on your phone, or you could wait for Dragon Shout, an upcoming interactive map for iOS. "The first version of the app contains an interactive map where you can drop annotated markers / journal entries down," the developer told Touch Arcade. "For example, yesterday I played Skyrim and left a bunch of dragon scales and bones on the side of a mountain because they were too heavy."

Even better, future updates plan to incorporate a social aspect, allowing "marker sharing, party or app-wide chats, pictures, and more." Want to tell your friend to "STAY AWAY" from that one cave you got whomped in? Or maybe, for the devious amongst you, encourage them to "CHECK OUT" said cave?

The app has been submitted to Apple and "should be out within the next couple of days" for both iPhone and iPad. With a $0 asking price, you can't really go wrong, can you?

Why did I rent this? I'm now sucked in... I must pick up Noire. They have a pass for like 5 bucks for all the DLC. This game is great. My rabbit stew turned out perfect.

Have they patched it since the last patch? I LOVE this game but shelved it to a degree until the Dragons start flying the right direction again. Awesome idea having the word walls be at the end of dungeons. I want to clear them all now and have to force myself to do the Main Quest which is well done so far as well.

[mort1mer]

Yes they patched that stuff. Supposedly new stuff is broken but I haven't encountered any issues.

I'm still having a problem with the Dragon that's located in the volcanic, hot springs area. He's still flying backwards and glitching. The rest have been okay.

I asked you the same question! WHY would you RENT this?!

I feel so bad ass playing this game - after completing Dark Souls (and starting a NG+ with it), in comparison, Skyrim is like candy canes and unicorns...And Skyrim is such a nice game...there's SUN! And beautiful landscapes and pretty flowers...I purposely don't use fast travel too much so I can enjoy the little finds along the way...My OCD is in high gear now! I can see myself spending the next few months completely engrossed in this game...I LOVE it!

I've had no problems other than a few freezes while loading, and a weird little glitch with a map marker...

Games like Skyrim and Fallout I never fast travel. Too much to explore and find that you would miss by fast traveling.

I usually end up picking a time when I'm just going to wander and have random encounters along the way, just to explore. If I'm on a quest though, I usually fast travel.
