Guuuurl! Don't you know they already importent Geralt and Triss models into the game? http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=9198 I don't care about having either of them in the game, but I'm sure there's a way to make them your companions. They're working on Iorveth and Roche right now.

That's sweet of you to suggest, but I am terrible at 3D. I don't have very good sense of space and form and believe me, I tried.

omg omg.. I guess this will be my first Skyrim mod.  I'll grab it this coming weekend.. thanks!

I really enjoyed that encounter, was a major introduction to the wonders of this game. Yes i make mods for both Oblvoin and Skyrim now, just finished my first two for Skyrim last week. The New CK is a dream and works well. There are a lot of companion mods comoing out soon, and you can have unlimited Followers and customize any NPC in the game as well with the new NPC Editor.

Well, I don't let passive/aggressive people get away with it.  Sorry, but nobody is perfect here, even you, Trav.  Sorry I dropped by.

Slooowly working on clearing my quest list - I don't want to take any new ones until I do the ones I have. It's pretty fun doing those that I've had pretty much since my first day. So, I just cleared Red Eagle quest, I have to say it's an interesting one, although suited for lower-level characters. Then I tried finding a priest that randomly spawns and of course the marker just led me to a cold, unwelcoming mountain with no priest in sight. Sigh. I think I'll console-finish that one, the marker seems bugged :/

using realistic lighting mod and Sydney666 custom ini, makes a wonderful environment...

Realistic Lighitng at SkyrimNexus

lets keep things friendly here please!  life is to short to nurse resentments, we ae all ourselves and all unique, and all human, and i think we can all be big enough to not pick fights to prove we are good fighters...lets do the combat in Skyrim..where it matters.

I finally decided to send Lydia home. First off, she makes too much noise (plus the occasional cough now and then...who's there?) plus the fact that I managed to botch one of the Thieves Guild quests because she became overzealous using one of her 'toys.'

Skyrim is pretty much perfect.

Yet, instead of listing all the good things (which you already may have discussed) I just wanted to point out a minor flaw, that can be a bit frustrating.

It related to the questlog.

Just to illustrate: sometimes, when I am wandering around I see that I have a quest mark nearby, so I go to my questlog and check what it is that I have to do. So it will be like "find the book X in the cavern Y". Then, obviously, with so many quests, I won't remember why was it that I needed to find the book, and who gave me the quest. Basically, I want to know more about the context of the quest so I can situate myself. However, the journal never allows me to get any description of the quest, besides the "do this, go there, talk to".

Am I doing anything wrong or is it the way it is?

Unfortunately that's the way it is, the quest log should indeed contain a lot more details.

Also when you've done a few quests for the thieves guild for example, it would be nice to review some older quests to remember how everything is related

You are absolutely right, I noticed this as soon as I got the game, expecting a Morrowind-like journal. The questlog is f***ing depressing. These days I'm trying to finish most quests that have piled up and it's so frustrating to have NO info. By now I'd forgotten where I'd gotten them and, as it turned out, some were pretty essential for achieving my goals. I don't know if they're catering to 'casual' crowd that can't read/doesn't focus on the story, but it's so annoying and mood-killing :/

My biggest complaint is the quest summary page. It's a real shame that it doesn't provide more detailed information.

It would be great if I could click on any one category and see a listing of each quest title. Sadly the questlog only lists completed quests in chronological order so I have no idea in my head as to which are main and which are side. :/

Aside from that I can't even get the numbers to add up.

each type of mission has a slightly different header in the quest log

like thieves quests: 

or the dark brotherhood: 

I never noticed that though I certainly should have.

Now that I'm properly informed, the only quests I have left are exactly what I expected.

am going to Solitude for the first time, i lke the countryside up that way, very pretty...Still have Lydia, she is a good fighter and I dont mind the coughs.......bought the house back in whats its name town and decorated it but didnt look very invisiting so we moved on  I really like Half Moon Mill pretty place.

I like it.  

Although unfortunately these days I don't get too many opportunities for quick kills. Even the Falmor warrior classes have now leveled up to the equivalent strength of those hated hords of Draugh Deathlords. It really doesn't get any easier. Fun though nevertheless for the sleepers. Thanks for posting.

There're some rumours that a new Elder Scrolls game will be announced in May and that it will be a MMORPG...

I'd save the tears for when such a thing actually is anounced: there were like rumours about ES5, and we all know how true those were.  Moreover, Bethesda have strayed from the formula in the past with Battlespire and Redguard---and look what came after.

These have pretty much been confirmed. It won't be the team that made Skyrim that works on it though, as far as the rumors goes, they have hired a new team for it, so it should have no impact on future TES games (other than possibly expanding the lore even further)

Well, it did happen with that KOTOR successor...

Oh things could be worse, if EA would a buy Bethesda for instance
