Is something wrong with me?
Also, it was in Skyrim if that makes it less creepy...

That just made it more creepy.

Hey, the kid ran into the shop that I was selling all of the loot that I um... "found" throughout the town and demanded i play Tag. I was so surprised I agreed and it gave me a quest to avoid (kids name) because he was it.
-
Did you win?
-
Was the quest sponsored by the catholic church?

No, because then Apohis would have to be it.

All the kids I've seen in skyrim have all insulted me immediately upon seeing me.

furlicker.

Everyone says I smell like a wet dog.

I'm an imperial, so thats probably why they like me. Base Bonus to speech craft plus that whole "YOU LOVE ME" once a day.
Anyway, I'm VERY surprised with the details they put into the AI. However, my friend told me about a small "issue" apparently, buckets are solid objects that block vision, and the new way vision works, is that the AI must "see you" with their eyes. So, someone figured out that putting buckets on AI heads makes them blind... However, I prefer my traditional method of theft. Murdering them with a bow from 100 feet away and stealing their housekey.
In my oblivion games, you'll sometimes see entire cities empty of population (minus guards)

I really wish that my laptop could run Skyrim, but unfortunately, the one thing that I'm not sure about is the video card stuff. Anyone have any idea if I could run Morrowind or Oblivion based on these specs(just reading off my dxdiag; btw, it's a Dell Latitude E6510 if that makes any difference to you, it was free so don't give me crap about using a Dell):
-Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
-Intel Core i5 CPU M 540 @ 2.53GHz (4 CPUs)
-4gb RAM
-Intel HD Graphics(1696mb memory)
-DirectX 11
All this Skyrim talk has made me nostalgic of the days when I used to play Morrowind(never tried Oblivion), and I'm thinking of buying a mouse and one of the two to relive those days(even though I can't put as much time as I'd like into exploring the lands).

Install the plugin and let it do the work for you.
Also, oblivion s $25 on steam right now, but if you REALLY want it on sale, wait a week till steam does their "GIANT FUCKING THANKSGIVING SALE OF BULLSHITTERY AND AWESOMENESS"
It'll probably be like, $4.

I did that site, and it gave me the "We have no fucking idea what your video card is" so it gave me a big red X on just that one spot. Does that mean that Leo should just be sad and cry away his nostalgic memories?

Because the laptop has integrated graphics. You could probably run Oblivion at a reasonable setting but I don't know about Skyrim.
-
@leo: No, most laptops have trouble on cyri because most new laptops have both integrated graphics AND dedicated graphics, take one of mine for instance, I have rad hd 6770m on it, it's a pretty good gfx card, pixel and vertex shader 5, 4gb vram etc, this more than meets the recommended requirements to play skyrim, however, i'll still phail on cyri because it reads my graphics to be integrated...
Just check the part that i've marked to see if you meet requirements:

Now I'm wondering. My numbers in that box are above the recommended numbers(I have 1.7, 4, and 4), and everything else also meets the recommended numbers for Skyrim, but to my knowledge, gangs, I only have an integrated gfx card, since it's an Intel piece, too.
So, then the question becomes, should I spend the $70-$80 it would cost to get the game and a mouse without being fully sure, or should I go for a safer route spending $30-$40 on Oblivion, or should I go the safest route buying Morrowind for the same amount as Oblivion?
-
I don't see why you won't be able to run skyrim, satisfactorily, with that hardware.
The major difference between a good integrated gpu and a similarly labled dedicated gpu, is memory and processing power.
Integrated cards share their memory and processing power with...well, your computers memory and processor.
So if you think you have enough of both, then it's time to set them mousetraps up.
EDIT: It also depends on your screen size, for you : smaller=better.
EDIT2: If you do decide to go with either of the other two games, look for mods! For oblivion, the complete oscuro's oblivion overhaul is a necessity... Also the nekkid people mod for all three of the games, because nekkid = win.
-
Well, I just told you everything I know about my rig, so I'm not quite sure. Any other opinions? I'll probably wait a little bit either way in the hopes that the price drops quickly.
-
Just torrent the game, play it, see if it works, then buy it, or don't... either way, that's the only sure way you can know if your system can handle the game without paying for it, short of pursuing beth techs about it, good luck with that.

Well, I have my laptop running at 1920x1080, but my monitor that is connected to my laptop is running at 1440x900, so I have options. I guess I could also download steam and install all of my old games(Half-Life2/CSS) and see how well I can run those. I figure that if my laptop can run those at upper levels, then it could probably run either Oblivion or maybe Skyrim?
-
Read 'TORRENT'
It's not even that big i think, just around 5 gigs, so get to it.

Also, those games would be a bad baseline to judge your laptops gaming capability on, it's not your graphics rendering power that's in question here, it's your processing power, i read something somewhere about the TES games having to process 10 times the amounts of assests that other games do, the downside of it being an incredibly large, open world game and whatnot.
-
I don't want to deal with having to find a good torrent and then having to crack it and all. I'd rather just figure out if I can run it or not and then buy it. Also, I thought it was my gfx that was in question here considering that I'm running a quad-core processor which should be about four times as powerful as the system that I used to run Morrowind off of.
-
As far as i know, if you have the vram for your screen size, good processing power and a good p and v shader, you're GOOD to go.
But contrary to tonicular belief not all Indians are born with computers for brains, a scalpel up their butt, a phone in their hands, a bad american accent and the deed to a dollar store in their pocket..., some of us just like games. ;)
In other words, i'm 80% sure that you'll do fine on mid to maybe even high settings if you have lots of ram and a good processor.
EDIT: Also, i could find you a torrent, crack and patch if you want, you'll just have to dload.
-
Still don't feel like going that route. Maybe I'll just wait til I get over the hype and the game starts selling for 6 bucks a pop.
-
That's going to be a while...

Heh, I ran my laptop to see if it could play Skyrim just for shits and giggles; it failed miserably. Gave me a good laugh, though. In fact, it even failed some of the minimum requirements.
CPU
Recommended: Quad-core Intel or AMD CPU
You Have: Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU T3200 @ 2.00GHz
RAM
Recommended: 4 GB
You Have: 1.9 GB
Video Card
Recommended: DirectX 9 compatible NVIDIA or AMD ATI video card with 1 GB of RAM (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 or higher; ATI Radeon HD 4890 or higher)
You Have: Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family
It passed the other recommended requirements so I was stoked about that.
