I just hope we get a lot more actual nice clothing (and not just armor) mods for males with Skyrim. In both Morrowind and Oblivion, it was mighty difficult to find many decent-looking clothes mods for guys that weren't twinky fetish gear, so much so that I never even bothered to look for Fallout 3 and NV. Everything is made for female characters nowadays. My mages like to play dress-up sometimes too, you know.  |

When I hear "nude mod," I think of nutjobs who want to stack dead, naked bodies into some kind of perverse pyramid before stripping off all their armor and covering themselves in honey.
But it's Art! |

The creepy part is the idea of anyone using nude mods in a Bethesda game.
All nude mods need to come with a paper bag mod? |
Hahahaha! I'm really good at this!

Did anyone play through Skyrim on a console? I have the PC version but I'd like to know how the long-term experience was on a console, as I currently prefer to chill out with my PS3, not sit at my computer.

The PS3 version had issues, lots of lag and freezing. I'm not sure where that stands at this time.
On a related note, I bought KoA:Reckoning on my PS3 because I wanted to chill on the couch with it, but I'm ultimately going to take it back and get it on PC because I just prefer it that way. As much as I tell myself I want to shift into console gaming for the ease, I can't get get away from my PC no matter what. My couch just puts me to sleep...

Xbox 360 version is fine, but apparently I spend more time looking at loading screens than PC users. Aiming issues using twin joysticks versus mouse et al exist, of course, but I also think there is some autoaiming at play which helps. |

I played my mage and stealth playthroughs on PC, now I'm relaxing on couch with my sword and board Orc so the aiming doesn't bug me much without using ranged. Graphics hold up after you factor in the lower res. Amazon is still selling the Collector's edition for 99 bucks... PVC Alduin rocks. |

One noticeable graphics issue of the Xbox 360 are how sometimes the shadows go very grainy. That's about the only graphical issue I've seen (although I'm sure draw distance is something you can play with more on the PC).

"Grainy" shadows are something that happens regardless of platform. It's fixable on the PC via .ini editing, but requires significant tradeoffs ("significant" as in "shadows stop rendering, period, about twenty feet ahead of you") in shadow draw distance to achieve.

Thanks for the feedback on console Skyrim. I'll try to find out where PS3 Skyrim is stability-wise.

Bad grammar on someone's part. There really should be a period or semi-colon there. |

I could make another version that reads "charges you $2.50 for horse armor."

If it's like Shivering Isles, I'd buy it. I am nearly 100% certain it's going to be exactly like Fallout's DLC: $10-15 a pop for 3-5 hours of a self-contained story set in an isolated area not normally accessible from the game world with a bunch of ridiculously overpowered items and wildly varying quality from DLC to DLC. |

They've publicly said it will be more meaty expansion-like, such as SI.
The short-burst DLC tend to require launching in waves right after the game launches, to keep people entertained. I have to imagine I'm not the only person that has moved on from Skyrim, and at this point a five hour DLC isn't enough to get me to start playing again. I would just wait until there's a major new expansion or a clump of DLC I can buy and play at once.

All of the DLCs in oblivion were stuff like the wizards tower and and the Evil layer. Oh and horse armour. Nothing that added anything storywise. Shivering Isles (great) and Knights of the Nine (wut?) were full expansions and the only ones that added story. Hell SI's map was something like a quarter to a third the sise of Cyrodil, well worth paying for. Knights of the nine added a couple of Caves, 2 ruins and a monastery to Cyrodil. Whee. Mind you the last quest in Nine was pretty fun.
