Getting thought this quite nicely now, but keep getting distracted by side quests etc.....

I'm level 25 now, Steams reporting 41 hours. ( )

Loads of mods installed.... I seem to spend almost as long buggering about with mods as i do actually playing the game!





Still not 100% happy with it, but its getting there..... (The colours are different because i'm playing with the Imaginator settings)

More screenshots on my Steam profile here if your interested - http://steamcommunity.com/id/thedark...0/screenshots/


My followers... (I'm using the UFO - Ultimate Follower Overhaul mod) The guy in the middle died in battle the other day...

Replaced him with a Mage.

Oh V_R, you're a sad case, just play the 'kin game, lol

I had a brief revisit to Skyrim and discovered I haven't actually finished main quest, there's a small bit more to go. Took me a good half hour/hour to reaquaint myself with controls and gameplay but now fully familiar again and lovin' it a lot.

Haven't tried Dawnguard yet but it's installed.

Finally took time to read a tutorial and now have SKSE installed and SkyGUI thingie is now working and looks good. Yes, it is an improvement.

My stats are level 21 and I've played 65 hours.

Groovy

Loved Skyrim to bits but cannot bring myself to pay that much for an expansion. I went on the other day and I think I'm level 65 now, it doesnt make the game super easy as the monster's seem adaptive to this to some extent, still need to use the odd potion here and there so I don't die .

Haha, you know what, I know just what you mean, i actually say the same thing to myself!


There was something i noticed yesterday that i was going to mention, and that is the stats that Afterburner is showing on the top left of the last screenshot.



The game is now using almost all 2Gb's of my VRAM!

Wow, i just hit level 30 last night and not even close to finishing it, Steam says i'm just shy of 60 hours!

Mind you i've not done much of the main stuff i guess, did some of the Thieves Guild stuff over the weekend, and am now a Thane of Riften (and Whiterun) Only just got to Windhelm!

But i am taking it slow and exploring the world, and any little caves etc i find!


I really didn't think i'd get into it this much, I'm properly addicted......!

Just haveta say Dawnguard dlc is well worth the dosh, most excellent expansion, I get lost in this thing, where do the hours go?

If you're playing this add-on which faction did you go with? Vampire or Dawnguard? Apparently the game favours the vampire role, those who opt to be a vampire hunter will face far more diffilcult foes than his opposite blood-sucking number.

Methinks that may be true, I've chosen Dawnguard and the fights are much more difficult than in vanilla Skyrim, have managed to die a few times so far.
