On 360, I collected so many guard armors, shields, helmets, and more from all over the map and dumped them into the skingrad basement. Frame rate was like 1 frame every 10 seconds. As I tried walking through the pile, each screen jump came with 100's of loud metal clash sounds piled on top of each other, and equipment rocketing around the room being in completely different areas each jump. I absolutely loved this game.

That is hilarious. Stealing stuff, and hoarding in that game was like crack. On my thief/assassin build, I had collected soooo many potions/poisons I filled the closet in the Bravil home to the ceiling with the doors closed. I found out by dropping them a few at a time you could glitch them through the door in front of you..... It got so full it started just making rattling noises non-stop, and frame rate was super low. About half of 2,000 potions used.....Saved the game then left... Next day I went back and kept going, dumping all my potions slowly, and saving often. I had about 100 left, when my PS3 crashed....Let my PS cool off... Go back to the last save, and decide, fuck-it. I'ma open this thing and see what happens (mind you the rattling noise is ungodly at this point, like a hundred cheers all randomly happening constantly).... I open the closet, and BOOOOOOM!!!! My level 40+ Argonian is sprayed with bottles. Frames are dying. I see my character actually start to get knocked down, (am I dying?). NO. The PS3 might be. It crashes again, this time it yellow lighted and blinked for like a minute? Thankfully it survived and did some crash report thing when I rebooted an hour later. Pretty sure I still had that save on my PS3, but it's actually dead now, and pre sure the HDD is fried.

You can be the lowest skill, and still pick with 100% reliability. It actually depends on how the tumbler moves. There's a certain smooth animation the tumbler will make that will guarantee a success when pressed at the peak. If it doesn't do this, let the tumbler drop back down and re-tap until it moves smoothly. Almost never happens on the first tap when low skill, and breaking a pick seems to reset this.

[@cheshirecynic3061]

I think "best" depends on your perspective. To me, Skyrim is a better game for those who are not used to playing RPGs, because of the better graphics and simple interface, and because it does such a great job of letting the player get as deep into the backstory and present situations as they wish while completing the main questline. It doesn't focus too heavily on the stat aspects, like some games can, so it's really easy for a casual gamer to pick up and enjoy. Skyrim is not just "for the Nords." Skyrim is for everyone.

I never played this game. I'm all about Skyrim though. I like the blood spray, the room transition with the butterflies, and the giant with the sword attached to his arm. Did we ever get a wild transition like the room walls turning into butterflies in Skyrim? I can't remember any

[@9juju6]

I remember Dawnguard having some cool animations with walls and floors retracting in to reveal doors and stairs and whatnot. I can’t remember anything like the butterfly room in the Shivering Isles, though. I know people clown on the graphics, but the game is really worth a play. Its story actually manages to pull you in and instill a real sense of urgency. I mean, the world is ending after all. I’m not exaggerating when I say The Shivering Isles is hands down one of the best DLCs I’ve played, both in Elder Scrolls and other games, and I’m sure many would agree. Sheogorath is one of the most fascinating and unique characters in the series.

morrowind is by far my favorite, i think the reason the older elderscrolls games arent brought up as much is simply the era in which skyrim was released and its the most accessible and casual of the big 3, sucks bethesda wants to keep remastering Skyrim and not Oblivion or Morrowind when they're obviously just as deserving of the fanfare and notoriety.
