There's a few different levels of Soul Trap spells, as well as a Soul Trap enchantment. Basically, you either cast the spell or hit the creature with the enchantment, and if it dies within x seconds, its soul will fill an empty soul gem.
The Thieves Guild is in Riften, Dark Brotherhood is elsewhere - they'll probably find you at some point, I was randomly kidnapped by them. I think you can go looking for them too, though.
Soul gems are for enchanting - you drain a creature's soul into a soul gem and then use that to enchant an item.
If you do the Thieves Guild and/or Dark Brotherhood questlines you get some pretty good gear. They're both cool questlines too - the DB one in particular
I'm finding sneak is very powerful, the only things that tend to spot me are animals, I guess because they can sniff me out. Anything else I can easily sneak around/up to to backstab. Make sure you're wearing all light armour - heavier armour pieces cripple your sneak ability. And also, if you have a companion that sucks at sneaking, it could be them who's being spotted.
You should be fine on medium settings. My laptop is only slightly better than yours (i5-520M, Radeon 5650, 4GB) and runs pretty well on medium at 1920x1080. The engine seems pretty well optimised, which is nice.
I don't think whether his helmet was properly fitted or not particularly mattered in this case, anyway. The impact was so great that there had to be a point of failure somewhere and if the chinstrap hadn't failed and his helmet not came off then his head probably would have.
Hamilton wasn't even hitting the rev limiter on the back straight with the DRS open, he's going to be struggling there in the race with no DRS every lap, clearly went for an all-out quali ratio choice. Red Bull are set up for the race, they were banging the limiter half way down the straight.
It's an issue because people don't understand the rules. It's an issue because people these days aren't used to drivers defending their position properly - the prevailing attitude is just "oh sod it, just let them go, I'll lose too much time" and putting up a half-assed defence. The only thing Schumacher did that was vaguely questionable in terms of the rules was edging Hamilton onto the grass into Curva Grande - and that was only questionable.
Exactly - hence moving across to block then back to take your normal line is only one move. The move across to block is the deviation, the move back is just resuming the normal approach.
^ this is true. The initial move to block is considered a "defensive move", but moving back over to taking the racing line is not - drivers are well within their rights to do that. Moving over to block and then back to the racing line is one move, not two. It's blocking twice that's not allowed, but Schumacher never did that - he was within the regulations. Where he could have been in trouble was if he moved back over to the racing line when Lewis was alongside him, hence Ross Brawn telling him to remember to leave room. But he always left just enough room - it was a fantastic piece of defensive driving, but helped by the track being pretty easy to defend on, especially if you have a straightline speed advantage.
Uhm, exactly. They both got drive thru penalties. How does knowing the results make it bullshit? A DT is the only punishment that they can give for those offences, they can't just pull a new penalty out of their asses. Also, you're suggesting that they looked at the results and gave a penalty to specifically punish Hamilton, but that if they'd done the same and made up a penalty to punish Alonso that would be okay?
What the hell are you talking about? They didn't get a 20 sec penalty, they each got a drive through penalty. Also, if they'd have made up a punishment like a 30 sec penalty (which doesn't exist) to make sure that Alonso lost a place, then how would that NOT be dodgy? They both got exacty the same penalty, how it effects the end outcome is irrelevant.
The Hamilton and Alonso penalities were both BS tbh. Weaving and 'causing avoidable contact' are things that happen about 20 times in every single race and are never even so much as looked at. I saw at least 6 or 7 instances of wheel banging at the corner I was sitting at. Yes there are rules against them, but you can't just pick one specific instance to enforce them when they're going to generate the most headlines.
That said, good race, mucho fun. It was actually raining all the way through, but light enough that it just evaporated straight away. Didn't need it to get heavier in the end, though.
It's frickin hot here, track temp hit 50 degrees in the afternoon session. Also, the Pirellis shed rubber like crazy, bits were being flicked up into the grandstands
Apparently, Mark Webber fractured his shoulder before the Japanese GP and chose not to tell anyone but his trainer. Sheds some light on his tail-off towards the end of the season
re: Webber - it's generally agreed among drivers that if your car is rolling out of control across the track, you let it keep rolling rather than stopping in the middle of the track or changing direction. That way it's at least predictable which way following drivers should go around the car. Unfrotunately Rosberg was just too close.
To say he deliberately took out Rosberg is just ridiculous.
