DuPz0r 5361 Report post Posted January 8, 2012 @b0nes - The fire crash theory you have does make sense. Fire is a particle effect, which uses hundreds of little texture sheets generated from an emitter. Almost exactly like you see in LittleBigPlanet. All games have these particles and emitters. So, if there is a lot going on at one time, along with these 100's of spewing fire polygons, it's bound to mess with the hardware. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaPn bOnEs 8527 Report post Posted January 8, 2012 yea, i figured that fire objects used a lot of textures and animations that have to loop over and over a few times a second... there's a lot going on just to create the effect of fire... with snow and rain, all you have to do is put this layer over the screen, similar i think to the space travel screensaver for windows... with fire though, i always figured there was more at work when trying to make it work... it's a tough environmental element to create, and i can totally see it slowing down a game with a lot going on already... i swear, when i enter the gomorrah casino in new vegas at later levels, the framerate always drops to like 1 or 2 frames per second... it takes a restart inside the gomorrah to fix the problem... i seriously think bethesda needs to look closely at their fire effects... even removing a texture or two, or slowing down the animation could do wonders on a world that is already struggling to keep up with all the dynamic stuff happening already...

CaPn bOnEs 8527 Report post Posted January 8, 2012 it works for me... ohh, i forgot to mention this but i met my favorite character in my journey so far... i ran into him on my way to morthal... meet cicero, a madly entertaining chap who is trying to transport is dear dead mother... his wagon broke down, but the stupid farmer nearby won't help him... his dramatic tone of voice and funny garb makes him quite entertaining ...

But then they have like 11 gold so there's not much point. The stores in Solitude and Whiterun have much more money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah not much gold to be made from cabbages and spuds so yeah I'll check out Solitude and Whiterun. Seems like I'm never away from Solitude and Whiterun, I gotta get out more.

Massacre 7646 Report post Posted January 9, 2012 They did bum me out, though. I put a lot of work into getting the Dark Brotherhood going in Tamriel back in Oblivion, and then, a couple hundred years later, all my hard work is ruined while I'm off being the Daedric prince of madness. What's even worse, being Sheogorath turned my beloved orc into an Imperial. Obviously, I understand why Sheogorath's a human in Skyrim, but that doesn't mean I have to be happy about it.

CaPn bOnEs 8527 Report post Posted January 9, 2012 yea, i'm lost... cicero was in oblivion?! he's with the dark brotherhood?! how come he didn't offer me a spot with them when i helped him out?? either way, i still like him ... i hope i can recruit him as a companion, but i don't think the dark brotherhood is the route for me anyways... ------------------ so i finally did some of the main story yesterday... because i made a push into the northern part of the map, i was near the jargen the windblower-something temple... so, i did that and the follow-up quest that took me near windhelm... since the main story is back into the central part of the map, i might start working on that some more... i guess i must of missed it, but there's a dragon that talks?! apparently during the quest i did last night, i made a mention to delphine that i had seen that dragon before at helgen, but i thought i killed that dragon in whiterun?? i guess i wasn't paying very close attention to that and i just kill a normal dragon... but after watching the macho man dragon mod, i heard the dragon speak in the beginning... i really must of missed that in the intro... so now the main story is kind of making more sense now that there's a talking dragon ressurecting the buried dragons of skyrim... i suppose i gotta get to the bottom of this and figure out who's behind all of it ... yea, i should start focusing more on the main story ...
