Well the patch seems to be working in my favour so far, as running a core 2 duo processor. Before the patch whenever i travelled out into Skyrim, going over a brow or through a detailed area the game would lock up for a few seconds, even on lowest graphics settings. Doesn't seem to now, if anything i just get low frame rate for a few seconds.
Im a married level 21 Nord now. Close combat and ranged combat is fine, takes roughly 4 strikes/arrows on most enemies, health regeneration and plentiful potions of healing keeps me alive during more difficult battles. But I am on easy difficulty lol. I might notch it up to normal and up the challenge, but there are times even on easy some quests are a good challenge. I usually sell ingredients, potions and forged items to make money while i continue to level up my perks. I imagine what I sell will start to change soon though as Im about to get into enchanting my weapons and armour and such. I think, ive sided with the legion, based only on the fact that ive committed crimes accidentally in Riften where the Thieves guild is. xD
Interested in starting a new character on a higher difficulty already though to see what the difference in game play is like.
Loving the auto run/walk feature giving me a free hand. Best thing since sliced bread hehe.
I shot a bunny with an arrow while on the run! I rock...
Dragonrend and a high-damage 2-handed enchanted sword kills dragons in no time. Ive got umpteen dragon souls and none of my magic needs upgrading with them.... maybe that will change in time as I get more quests done and find more spells and stuff like that.
