Mine certainally wasn't a high paying career. Secondly, yes, its a choice. And some can argue that an adult choosing to live poor for a time to earn a degree is 'taking' money from other taxpayers. Perhaps so. But in the US, at least, during the past 30 years, automation has increased the producti

Installed skyrim from CD. Also, when I turn steam on, internet connection OK, Skyrim doesn't show any of my saved games, and will only let me start a new game. I have, like, 7 or 8 saves in there.

One other thing of note. Nearly every dungeon I've been in has some sort of quick way out once you get to the end. I hated spending an hour or more wandering a dungeon in Oblivion and then having to spend 8 or 10 minutes backtracking to get out. In Skyrim they build in clever one way passages to get back near the beginning from the end. Doors that only open from one side via switch, passages at the end that lead to tunnels that are unreachable on

My stream of consciousness thoughts after about 10 hours of play yesterday. For the record I play on a high end custom built PC with all drivers updated. No spoilers below unless you didn't know there were dragons in the game. FYI, there are dragons in the game. There's a TLDR at the bottom. Graphical/Technical Stuff: I'm playing on Ultra settings. Never a frame rate slow down. Game is generally beautiful. &nb

Waiting on Steam, like you. I purchase very few games at launch each year, but as soon as I heard about Skyrim it was guaranteed to be one of them. Seeing what they've done with the game only reinforced it. My wife conveniently wanted to go visit one of her college friends this weekend. "You should absolutely go! Have a good time!"

Difficult implies it's hard to accomplish, for example limits on how many you can transport and so on. Annoying implies it's a fucking pain in the ass to have to click through 20 boats and 20 units 10 times each. It's like the combat orders in Dom3 for units.
