Do you have auto save on?

A few days ago I had incredible lag and freezes all the time, one freeze up though deleted all my auto saves, and the game ran fine for a while again. I have done some reading and apparently the size of autosaves gets unmanageable after lots of hours playtime.
I am turning it off today to see if it makes a difference.

I think I do have autosafe on, maybe I will turn that off.

I'm about to craft myself a set of Daedric Armor. :D

Does anyone know at what level do we stop receiving perks when we level up? I've heard that it's impossible to get all of the perks in the game, which makes sense, but I'm level 43, and I'm trying to decide how to spend my perks now, as to maximize my character. It would be nice to know when I won't receive perks anymore.

Okay, so I did some reading.

It looks like we get perks until level 81. Phew, there are several perks I still want to get. :D

Even by Bethesda standards, this last patch is poor. They broke the game in many ways lol. I wondered why dragons were destroying me, and why my flame atronachs were particularly vulnerable to fire magic... Turns out in the last patch, Bethesda accidently removed magic resistance.

I haven't seen any backwards flying dragons yet though lol

apparently they have videos of the character summoning loafs of cheese in mass quatities and it fills entire rooms building coming out the windows and waterfalls of cheese and raining cheese

Ah, probably a PC gamer, sounds like something easily done with a few console commands.

I've completely fucked up the city of Markarth.

I have a huge bounty, but I can't pay it off, nor go to jail, when the guards find me. Their conversation just keeps on looping, telling me how "no one escapes Cidnha mine"
Which seems silly to me, I imagine locking a load of convicts in a mine with lots of pickaxes and no supervision for weeks would probably amount to A LOT of escapes :24:

I've emerged from the land of Skyrim to come and post...:tooth
Mine was updated... not sure if it was last week or the week before though...

Anybody become a werewolf yet? omfg, it is such a feeling of power.

I also found a wife, she accidently died in riften though during the wedding.... My Firewizard zombie saw a thief and threw a fireball at him, but poor old Ysolda stepped in the way rofl
Ya my husband was killed by my house carl in Winterhelm because he tried to attack me when i went in my cubby hole to change into a werewolf.:ninja He only left me 200 gold.:D But at least for the few days he was my hubby his little business made me the 500 gold every day. I'm disappointed we can only get married the once. I was hoping to marry another one to see if i could marry better than the blacksmith of riften.

My update was automatic the Monday it came out for the patch, but i'm finding the patch seems to have made more issues.:mad Its such a bloody pain, so far the only way around most of the freezes is to turn off all auto saves and when you do save to make a new save. However this does not fix the many graphical issues like dragons falling out of the sky on my character, or dragons that don't die, or mountains that vibrate my controller and then shoot up into the sky and look like a giant smear of shit.:D Or the characters that are duplicated with only their twin is stuck waist down in the ground. Or quests you've completed staying uncompleted in your list such as the giant killing one. Once you get the bounty it remains in the misc list saying, " get bounty for such and such" but you can't. The insane amounts of potions i go through in order to stay alive during the barrel rolling unkillable dragons....they really piss me off, because i know when i get one, it means my system will freeze within minutes afterwards.

thast right...after about the 4kbs point seem to be the when the bugs begin...i'm at 12mbs, so imagine the crap i am seeing...its bad. They had better come out with the second patch soon, but from what i read they never bother to patch the same issue in oblivion, so they knew about this even before releasing skyrim to us...if they don't fix it and i can't finish the game i'm getting my money back.

Okay, so I did some reading.

It looks like we get perks until level 81. Phew, there are several perks I still want to get. :D
oooh i never even thought about that...goodness i better get picky in what i want to have then. I've been updating one handed, chanting and smithing, but i think i' at level 47 right now. I have smithing, speechcraft, enchanting, sneaking and alchemy at 100....i think i have another at 100 but can't recall.

omg i know eh...its so annoying!

I've been too busy playing Skyrim to watch videos about it. :tooth

:24::24::24: i almost did the same but thankfully got thrown in jail and completed the 'in jail' quest for the forsworn king of rags. I have to say, Markarth is a horrible city to visit. The sounds are so irritating and i do go a bit deaf when i ahve been listening to it for over an hour or two while completing quests in that city.

OK...back to skyrim...:tooth see you in a few more days.:D

I am level 48 myself, I figured I was behind everyone else, guess not. I have Smithing, Enchanting, Blocking, and Heavy Armor at 100. One handed weapons is around 95, and so are a few other skills.

If you want to raise blocking to 100, go find a mammoth, let him attack you, and just block his attacks. I went from 59 to 100 in 30 mins, and never died. I did the same thing for Heavy Armor, but that took a bit longer, and since you're not blocking, you have to heal more. No biggie.

I also disabled all forms of auto save last night, which is a real pisser IMO, sometimes I forget to save, lol.

Yeah, have fun. Don't sweat the details, just enough the world of Skyrim.

Yah Markarth sucks. I hate Riften too. Windhelm as well.

That's the end of this months Skyrim tourist board notice :D
