Skyrim general discussion.

Umm... how to take screenshoots? I press printscreen, they are saved in Skyrim folder as *.BMP format, but I can't open it :/ - something must be wrong...

EDIT: Fraps resolved this issue, thank you Pikmon.

My character is cat, and I named him Puss in Boots.
I also have my sidekick called Lydia, but I think she could be called Lydia Winterfresh

I expected nitasu987 to make this.

 

[nitasu987]

Lol I should have :D

I screenshot with PrtScr, but ever since I installed Dawnguard I can't access my beautiful kills ;-;

After you exit the game I think Steam might say something about screenshots and then you can upload those and later save them.
Alternatively, try saving them in a different format

So it looks like its Dawnguard bug... I have unofficial patch on it, but this doesn't fix screenshoot bug.

Anyway... how do you level up your character? Since 1.9 level cap is essentially removed.

How to save them in different format? o.o

If you have steam version just press F12 :D

Anywho, even though I don't have Skyrim, I can still say its fun from what I've seen.

Renaming doesn't work.
It is in *.bmp format, so it should be fine.

This is from a site I found online:

"Make sure this line:
"bAllowScreenShot=1"
is in your
"...my documents/my games/skyrim/skyrimprefs.ini"
file.

Then u can use "print screen" to capture a screenshot."

I did that already, but still screenshoots are broken.
I'll try turn off Dawnguard.
EDIT: It didn't worked.

You can also try using Fraps or something while its up.

[nitasu987]

eew fraps XD

So I just started my Dawnguard Paladin, Artorius (He's a Breton)

Usually I just play for fun (Rarely legit unless doing a RP) so this is what he's got:

Dawnbreaker
Enhanced Dwarven Crossbow
Exploding Dwarven Bolts of Fire (100)
Full Dawnguard Heavy Armor Set (Only use the Helmet when fighting Vampires)
Necklace of Peerless Wielding
Ring of Peerless Restoration
Stendarr's Aura and Vampire's Bane (Playing on Godmode so I can use them efficiently)

Dont you need a steam account for Computer version skyrim...? Im assuming your on a Computer. Its an easy way to share screenshots anyways to.

Technically you need it only for initial activation

Also:

I had to convert to JPG format to save bandwitch - unpaid fraps allows to save only in .bmp format.

I only have Morrowind and its useless in that game, guess they upgraded it though xP

FUS RO DAH Lydia off a cliff the first second you get; her only use is extra pocket space, but she will get in your way more often than not. You will get much better companions later (or you could just conjure up some) :D

Minor tips: Stick with the two-handed weapons and go for the conjuration magic. It will help greatly for the last few story missions. Also, you want to get enchanted armor with certain spell resistance (go for ice) as enemies with magic can be extremely annoying if you are fighting w/o a ranged attack especially in the final few missions.

Also, PLAY THE STORY MISSIONS FIRST (to a point, go for the other random missions to level up in order to beat the missions)! You will unlock a lot of very useful stuff that will help with the side quests later :D

Wait, raxo, where are you in the story?

Oh, probably I used shield on my first mission - where you had to escape from Helgen.
