Video card question for pc hardware geeks out there:

With my paycheck becoming sizable and November shopping bargains coming up, anyone know a of a great card to play Skyrim with? I'm currently using a lolgeforce9500gt and it's leaving much to be desired.

My budget is about 180$

Edit: As a baseline I was looking at this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161393

Would appreciate anything better for the cost.

Not exactly what you're asking BUT just to help you make a decision, I'm using a 9800 GTX+ which is fairly old and I'm pumping out some great graphics.

Of course better is better, just saying, you don't NEED to SLI or anything to run the game well :)

This game is really fun, I've never played any of the Elder Scrolls series before, and I feel like I'm gonna be spending a lot of time playing this.

I'm just stoked I have a house now so I can store my 15lb dragon bones and stuff now.

Out of all the lock pick systems I've ever messed with in games, I liked Two Worlds 2 the most. It made it feel more like skill than luck. You can pick master locks even with no points in lock picking in Skyrim, but it's mostly luck.. It's also possible to pick master locks in Two Worlds 2 with no extra skill put into it, but it's mostly skill and timing.

I have a weird question. I noticed a lot of shout powers are most suitable for up close combat, yet my favorite character type is the sneaky type. How suitable are shout powers for those that move in shadows and cut throats?

So far that I've seen, they're not.. Although there is this one that could help you run away faster to avoid direct combat.. I'd just reserve them for the "Oh ***, I'm backed into a corner and have to fight" moments.

@Artemicion

Lightning sprint (fast dash that can get you past obstacles and traps safely)

Invinciblity (makes you invincible for a short period. You cannot attack while invincible. This shout is meant to be used to jump off high buildings)

So far

Unless you don't care about losing her, keep an eye on her in heavy combat situations and save before you go into one.. I've had to reload at least 6 or 7 times already because of her frailness. Right now she's keeping a chair warm in my house, in my bedroom actually... The hell's she thinking? That she's going to get the master bedroom with the queen sized bed just because I never use it?? Her bedroom is that closet with a cot in it!

Perhaps she is hoping to get lucky, eh?

That's certainly one way to get across the message "Your kind is not welcome here."

Complete the first quest for the Jarl of Whiterun and he'll allow you to purchase a house for 5,000 gold.

Took me a while to get 5k. Doesn't help that I disenchanted all of the good items :C

Was lucky and found a soul trap weapon early on though. Wonder if Azura's Star is in this game... haven't done her quest yet

Ugh, I didn't get that far in the game, but I think the PS3's HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE auto save thingy overwrote my initial save file of my primary character. Strangely it kept auto saves from WAY far back otherwise.
I might just disable auto save altogether if I can and keep individual saves to differentiate my character builds.

woah, i just did dustman's cairn for proving honor, and i made like over 1k gold straight from picking it up. every single enemy had gold on it (minus the rats). there was also some pretty good loot in there too

edit: <- now a werewolf. give 100% disease resistance in both forms, and you can choose to transform whenever you want, or not at all if you prefer

Her shrine is south of winterhold, up a mountain. Im not sure if you keep the star, because the quest is finding it, I havent finished it yet.

So far in my 16hrs of playing I've finished the mage guild thingy, started on the dark brotherhood, and half way through the thieves guild. Also killed a few giants and 5 dragons.

Lol I've been thinking the same thing.. Well not that they sound like Arnold, more like someone's horrible impression of him. Only person I've ever heard do a good one is Pablo Francisco.

The laser is going out on the disc reader. Same exact thing happened to me, just with different games/discs, some would work, some wouldn't, some would work only some of the time, some would get to the loading screen for like the main menu then just stop.

You can replace it yourself for cheaper than sending it in if the warranty is dead on it and you're handy with electronics, it's not that hard, not any soldering or anything, you just have to take it apart and replace the laser which is as simple as unplugging the old one and plugging in a new one. There's plenty of guides on the internet on how to do it step by step, and guides to identify the exact laser you need.

There's also a chance (a slim one) that the lens is dirty and needs to be cleaned, there's guides for that as well.
