If anyone makes a mod that removes clouds from the map, I will download it for sure. The map could be a lot better in many ways, but I would gladly settle with "you always have a clear view so you can see paths".
I wish the map had some more markers on it though. Like roads, it would be really nice if they could highlight roads. But most of the time I do not have trouble with navigation. I have had luck with just running in the general direction of the goal.

I've also found something useful, which everyone may or may not know. If you have the physical map that came with a preorder, the red x's mark the locations of all 13 Guardian Stones. It doesn't say which one is there, just the location.
Edit- Also, a slight gripe here, but has anyone noticed that the map is slightly less, well, practical? The in game one, not the real world one. It looks fantastic, but I know I've been screwed over a few times because a cloud wanted to block a mountain or hill, thus extending my journey to a new area to an hour instead of 10 minutes. I know exploration is a huge part of the game, but it gets annoying when I want to go from A to B and the direct route is blocked by a 100 foot cliff, forcing me to run around it looking for some stairs or a path up.
well I dont have many complaints of the world map, but the local map SUCKS, its completely useless, I can't orientate myself at all with that crap. I miss the old local map on Oblivion, because this game uses more the "radar" type of map from Fallout 3 and New Vegas, only worst.

Thought this was cute. Didn't see if it was in here before- I haven't been following the thread since I'm not sure if i'll be playing the game.

Don't get it unless your computer is good would be my advice. I still only get three or four fps even on the lowest possible settings any time I'm near a small fire.

I heard it's actually not that bad in terms of system requirements. I've seen some pretty awful rigs run it at 60 fps at lowest.

If I play it, I'll play it on the boyfriend's computer- he already has it. He has some kind of monstrous water-cooled Skynet-level improbability-drive gaming rig, and he runs at 60 with all the graphics turned all the way up. I'm just waiting for him to be finished with it.

No idea- that's why I used all sorts of nonsensical references to express how impressive this machine is supposed to be, per the owner's opinion. I'll see if he'll take a break from it long enough to tell me the specs later. I'm at work atm.

I wonder if it's as good as Koper's.

ohh come on its not that bad, My PC is pretty obsolete and yet the game runs just fine. Graphics are of course at min, but it has a smooth FPS. Id upload a screenshot but I dunno how to take them :S F12 doesn't work, neither does the print key.
also I've just partaked on my first Daedric quest, for Molag Bal, and I must say. JESUSCHRIST THIS IS SUCH AN IMPROVEMENT OVER THE ONES IN OBLIVION!

Indeed, the one from Molag Bal is pretty awesome. Creepy beginning. DEEPER. DOWN INTO THE BOWELS.

Boyfriend speaking. My computer is like 4 and a half years old now, so its not exactly a monolithic beast anymore. That said it does run Skyrim on Ultra, everything turned on and full AA fluctuating between 50 and 60fps (I run with Vsync all the time) depending on location, weather conditions ect.. Running in 2560x1600.
Specs are
Windows 7 64bit
Intel Core2 Extreme x9650 running at 3.ghz (Liquid Cooled)
(2) 10,000 rpm drives in a raid zero (waiting for SSD to drop in price, 4 years ago they were stupid expensive, now they are almost reasonable)
8 Gigs of ram (originally 4 gigs, upgraded about a year ago)
Geforce GTX 480 (Nothing amazing I know) Was originally 3 Geforce 8800 Ultra's running in 3way SLI (Slower then a single GTX 480 lol.)
Nforce motherboard (don't remember the exact model)
sound blaster extreme Xfi sound card.
Runs Skyrim Great,
Runs Battlefield 3 Great.
Runs EQ2 like ass (but really what doesn't)
Runs Witcher 2 Great.
Its made me come to terms with how little PC games have advanced graphically in the last 4 years. The graphical fidelity difference between something like battlefield 3 and crysis is negligible and Crysis came out in 07. Hell I think Skyrim runs in like DX9 doesn't it?

Better than mine, if only by a hair.
Edit: I take that back, it's quite a bit better. Still reassuring though (check my Comp Hardware thread for mine).

Holy !@#$ it does?

You know, generally when a guy hopes his girlfriend brags about his equipment on the internet, Skithus, this probably not what he has in mind...
