Quote from The Very End :Thanks! How you drain creature's souls btw?

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.

Quote from The Very End :Those were from Riften yes?

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.

Quote from tristancliffe :Soul gems are for something else, and I have no idea how you use them.

Soul gems are for enchanting - you drain a creature's soul into a soul gem and then use that to enchant an item.

Quote from The Very End :Thanks for the advice!

By the way!:
I am really struggeling to find good armours and weapons (daggers). They just does not seem to drop much. I have gotten a dwarf and elven dagger, which are O.K but not great. Are there no varieties of weapons in this game, or do I just have to wait til later in the game to find anything good?

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.

Finished the Thieves Guild questline which was pretty cool, but the Dark Brotherhood one is awesome, highly recommended

Quote from The Very End :Seems like people are realy enjoying this game, so I am thinking of buying it myself!

Do you think my computer can run it.. somewhat on medium? It's crappy laptop :/ :

Intel Core i5-460M Processor
Nvidia GeForce GT 420M
3GB DDR3 Memory

The HD is some standard stuff, avarage laptop crap, aswell as the sound card.

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.

Quote from Intrepid :The fact is F1 is about the car, and we get into these long pointless debates about drivers. Stick Hamilton in the RB5-RB7 and he'd have won 4 titles now and we'd all be in awe of his speed and consistency. Same could be said for other drivers.

The sooner we get a grip on the fact F1 is a design competition above and beyond anything else, the better.

What? The car doesn't have some kind of autopilot that's forcing him to crash into people.

Even itv hoped it was simple enough for people to understand.

I don't think Brundle falls into your group of people that don't understand, do you?

He clearly says "an unwritten rule between drivers". Meaning it's not an actual rule.


Quote from amp88 :Hands up who else thought Alonso pushing Vettel onto the grass on the outside of Curva Grande was worse than anything Schumacher did in this race (but neither were worth penalising).

Yup, absolutely.

Quote from sinbad :No. That's just not correct.

The move back the other way is the second move. Why do you think this is even an issue if you're allowed to move back over?

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.

Quote from sinbad :A move is any deviation from your normal approach to a corner.

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.

Quote from Seb66 :So what you're saying is.. it's never two moves unless the driver on the outside gets taken out?

@mythdat and Pipa

No, I'm saying it's never two moves unless it's two moves.

^ 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.

Quote from BlueFlame :They didn't get drive through penalties, they got 20seconds added to their race time. Which is the equivilent to a DT but it is done post race, so the people doing it already know the race results, which makes the penalty bullshit.

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?

Quote from BlueFlame :I would of liked it to rain as it could of benefitted Heidfeld and Petrov (had he not gone Lada Rallycross crazy).

But the penalty still is retarded, the 'weaving' wasn't like what happened with Petrov and Hamilton this time last year, it was far more subtle than that but considering he had already been warned for it, he should of known better, don't see why he gets a penalty and Alonso doesn't though, I guess that's what's going to annoy alot of people. Especially when the FiA president is Jean Todt (ex Ferrari team director, and Peugeot Talbot Sport in the old group b days ironically). I'll expect to see Audi penalized like this in some way too, so Todt can lick the arses of the French brass at Peugeot.

I believe if they had added 30seconds, Alonso would of lost a place too, but they only added 20, which meant Lewis was the only one to lose a position... CONNNSPIRACCYYYY...

Cmon Intrepid, where r ya man, don't let me go it alone!

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

I don't think Ferrari got fooled. It was probably the right call to bring Alonso in. If they didn't, Webber on fresh tyres would have jumped him

Quote from JCTK :Not quite yet, with Lewis stupidly eating up his tyres behind the Renault. Lewis might just as well need another pitstop and gift the all important position to Alonso.

Alonso would still need to pass Petrov

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.
