The descriptions of the smithing perks don't give a whole lot of information. Why do I care that instead of Dwarven armor I can now create Orcish armor? Do the different types of armor have different properties?

One big thing to do first in online mode is to well know the maps . I know that I could walk and explore in them alone in a private match. But it's boring... I began to play the campaign mode to learn the places where the game is. I only played about the half of the first mission and I didn't...

This question seems problematic to me. Not because of it makes the site look immature (though I think it does), but because it seems to be a class of questions that causes some problems. The basic formula is to think of something that would be "cool" to do in a game, find a game that is very ...

I'v just noticed that we have 4 slots for sort of badges. I'm just level 3 and I already got 2 ?!? I didn't accomplice anything special. Some player has 4 or 3. Everyone seems to have a least one. Why ?

While I have not played Skyrim yet I have heard some disturbing news on clearing dungeons. I have heard that once you clear a dungeon it is marked that the dungeon has been cleared on the map which it nice but the not so nice part is that I have heard that at least in 1 case, the dungeon did not...

I have a playstation 3 and really like shooting games. I recently played battlefield 3 beta online and was not so good at it, but had fun. I also played Call of Duty 2 on my notebook years back. only single player back then, but also liked that game. In my gaming history I have played Soldier of ...

What are the full lyrics to the song from the Skyrim trailer? The song from 1:07 onward (when the character shouts) is s...

Im from Georgia, Tbilisi and steam says that game is not avaliable for my country. There are no "official" shops here to buy retail. In nearest Russian online shops i see notice, that license is for Russia and countries of CIS(Georgia is not among them from 2008). So what i my options?..How can i...

I really wonder what's the difference between one way signal and one way Path signal. I know they're not the same but my trains work with both of them. Also, building one way signal is slightly harder than building the path one.

I recently discovered the average shopkeeper is unwilling to buy stolen goods (how they know they are stolen, I do not know). Is there anyway for me to sell stolen items, without making use of the console?

Do page views on Closed questions count towards the competition between Q&A Site views MW3 vs. Skyrim? Because I think they shouldn't.

My friend is insisting the Men Behaving Badly theme tune is in Fallout New Vegas (he says it plays in the background as you are walking through Freeside) but I'm sure he's wrong. Is he?

I'm asking because it's becoming increasingly difficult to deal with Death claws and I really want to experiment on various other perks. Does it have something to do with the story?

I gathered some metal ore in a mine, but the forge only uses iron bar to make items. I can't seems to find an option to transfor my ore into bars. Do I need a special kind of forge, or I am missing something obvious?

I'm trying to remember the name of this old-school PC game that popped into my head randomly. I think it is probably from the early to mid 1990's, and I don't believe it was ever a hugely popular/mainstream game. If you don't want to read the wall of text, the main features of the game are/were...

I've been wondering about this: I definitely plan on buying Skyrim, but I could save about 15€ if I buy it on Amazon.co.uk (I live in Germany) compared to the Steam price. Now my question is, does Bethesda actually get a something of the 15€ I'd pay more, or would I just be sponsoring Steam/Valve?

Skyrim's got 13 standing stones erected in various spots around the province. They can be activated for various bonii, and discovering them all nets an achievement (Standing Stones). Where are each of these 13 stones located?

I walked from Whiterun to Windhelm by following the signs and checking the worldmap. My final destination was Winter Hold, however. Once I got to Windhelm, I couldn't find any more signs that pointed what road to take to Winter Hold. I looked on the world map, but the roads aren't clearly labeled...

When picking a perk to level up, I have to click once per constellation if I want to change which skill I want a perk in. If I want to go to a skill a few constellations away, it is burdensome to click and wait for the animation to slide the constellations over and then click again. Once within ...

While playing MW3, I have noticed a frustrating trend of random things exploding and killing me. Not enemy lethal equipment, but map objects like cars, barrels, and what look like blown, sparking fuseboxes. Each of these deaths (and occasionally kills - last night on Dome I happened to shoot th...

Are all of the achievements in Elder Scrolls: Skyrim able to be acquired in a single playthrough, or will I have to save at strategic times to be able to step back to earlier points? I'm assuming that if it's anything like Oblivion, that you are able to join multiple guilds one after another and...

How can i increase mouse sensitivity in Skyrim? on the main menu the mouse cursor is sluggish in-game mouse sensitivity is too low Things i've tried: increasing Look Sensitivity in-game: In my SkyrimPrefs.ini file: Increasing [Controls]\fMouseHeadingSensitivity from 0.0125 to 1.0500 ...

On one of the loading screens for MW3 I noticed an "intel" text that said something similar to this: "You can choose 3 kill streaks for support, assault, or specialist. You also can choose one other kill streak that occurs regardless of your strike package" I've heard about the M.O.A.B but this ...

I'm leveling up my guns pretty fast but I still haven't gotten to unlock the HAMR scope.. and thanks to MW3 only saying "is unlocked at level X" I can't see any sort of description or what stats it effects. What exactly is the HAMR scope?

There are rumours floating around which state the main Skyrim executable (as of version 1.1.21.0) is not tied to Steamworks - or any other form of DRM - even if you bought the game from Steam. If this rumours were true, it would be the same situation as with Fallout 3, which didn't have any DRM o...

Is there a way we can publicly follow the growth of the site? Moderators have access to some data, but aren't allowed to share it with the rest of the community. Are there public resources to this effect?

This might be a little early to ask but have the plans for Skyrim DLC been announced yet? I was a big fan of New Vegas but at the same time I didn't really appreciate having a new DLC pack pop up every couple of months. Do we know if Skyrim is going to follow this model? or if it will be more lik...

I can't seem to figure out what the differences are between the different catalysts or rather how they affects me. e.g.) When a catalysts scales with int, does that mean that magic does more damage or that melee does more damage?

In the first combat mission in the ArmA 2 main campaign (Mission 2, "Into the Storm") you can rescue Valentina Galkina from getting raped by some OpFor soldiers in a house in Pusta (that is unless you totally miss the fact there is a rape going on in one of the houses). She re-appears in Mission ...

I typically change the default WASD controls to use a different set of keys, is there anyway to change the keys in the menu system to reflect the updated bindings? It's annoying to have to go back and forth between the two sets of keys.

Sometimes, when fighting an enemy, your character will do a special move, with a third person view animation, instantly killing the enemy. But these types of move seems to be random, sometimes being used on enemies with nearly full health, other times not having a finishing move at all during a w...

Does the run proficiency make a big difference and does it make up for the loss of lightweight on Sub machine guns? And do you notice the difference on Light machine guns? or is it not noticeable enough to be affective and be a "replacement" to the Lightweight Perk that was in MW2?

I seem to misjudge my destruction capability and shoot hopelessly through walls and structures, hoping to kill the guy I know is right behind it. What guns are able to penetrate, are there any attachments or perks that improve penetration? What about guns of aerial vehicles and rockets, like th...
