The unofficial Skyrim thread. - Page 9

Something I forgot; for whatever reason, naming items doesn't work for me. I can press the little button or hit 'F' to my heart's content after crafting, but nothing at all happens. Am I missing something, or is this just a bug?

As far as I know you can only rename items you have enchanted.

I'm aware of that. Although looking back at my post I realize I said after crafting, I meant enchanting. After selecting the soul gem, the option to Rename Item appears, like so:

 

 

However, clicking on the option doesn't do anything, and neither does pressing F. So is there something I'm not doing right, or is this a bug? I haven't found anyone else online who seems to have the same problem, so I assume I'm doing something wrong. But I can't for the life of me figure out what.

It works fine for me, have you selected the enchantment, item and soulgem before attempting to rename the item?

I don't know if that makes a difference, but that's how I do it.

To whomever was asking about Blackreach, I can help you with that, as I completed everything in there.

Thanks but I rather explore it myself :) I did not had any missions that required me to go there, I found it by exploring thats why it was so special for me.

 

I suppose nobody knows the answer to the renaming thing? (as the screenshot shows, I already selected an enchantment and a soul gem)

 

Anyway, speaking of Black Reach I was hanging around in the area of that quest last night as the sun went down and I took some screenshots. I decided to try processing them as I would actual photographs and see what I could get:

 

 

 

 

 

The problem with night 'photography' in video games is that, unlike in real life where there actually is color but you can't see it, in video games there usually isn't any color to bring out at night.

Just tried. I didn't even know that was an option to be honest. Presssing F gives me a cursor which allows me to type in whatever I want sometimes. Other times it doesn't do anything and sometimes it gives me a cursor to change the name of a soul gem. After I finished enchanting the name of my item didn't actually change either. So it seems to be a buggy feature altogether.

I'm taking a break from it because of a problem.  I didn't get that guy to bring my weapons into the embassy so now I will have to fight with bare hands.  

lol, You can always use your magic(ka).

Yes I did and it was tough because of my weak character.  However I got through thanks to a glitch, one soldier simply stood still and let me hit him with fire.  

Did you follow the elf when he went into the kitchen and looked into the chest in front of him? I had to look pretty good aswell, but its right in front of him when he stops after he talks to the chef in the kitchen.

I downloaded Skyrim Saturday night on Steam, and all I can say is...

 

Skyrim! Y U no let me sleep?

 

Love the game so far. I find the graphics to be pretty good overall, with no mods. (I'll probably be downloading some mods tonight). My first character is a High Elf, although I haven't been using much magic yet. I just started the College of Winterhold, and have done a good amount of exploring. I'll probably start another character once I get the gameplay sorted out.

 

Skyrim seems to run much better on my PC than Oblivion. Oblivion set my video settings to pretty much bare-bones detail, while Skyrim cranks it up and seems to have a decent frame rate. So far, in 10+ hours of gameplay, I've had one crash.

 

PC specs: Intel i7 2600K, 16GB RAM, Evga GTX 560 Ti video card.

 

Now, if Blizzard will kindly release Diablo III I'll really be happy...

Nope I walked straight pass, didn't even look around.  My next task is to locate an Elder Scroll.
