    You can! Once your favourites menu is up you can assign stuff to 1-9 by simply pressing the corresponding key when the item is highlighted.

    One other thing I'm really disappointed about with Skyrim, is the fact that the only way to know where to go is to follow your quest marker. I turned off the compass and quest markers because I wanted a really immersive game and wanted to ask people for directions whenever I wanted to find someone/something. Morrowind did this, why can't it be in Skyrim?

    Also, there is no way to pull a 'dialogue history' with characters. One guy wanted me to fetch him some Argonian Ale, and when I went back to ask him where it was, he just said 'got that ale yet?' and I was completely clueless as to where to go. I opened up the journal, expecting there to be a 'history' feature there, but it's really vague and simple.

    U just give him ale you pickup from wherever.

    I'm honestly really confused. I haven't found an ugly part of the game yet.. The one thing I'd call close to being 'less than beautiful' are the large open landscapes without any trees, where you can see tiling textures on walls etc. Apart from that, fantastic.Menu fucking sucks though. And key binding sucks too. I used the arrow keys and rebinded everything around the arrow keys, and I still have to press tab to go back, and the bind instructions still show the default binds so I have to blindly press my new bindings until I get the right function.

    Have you stood looking out over a cliff at the city below yet. The distance views is what I find lacking the most. Looking up at the mountains is beautiful but looking down from them over land scape is awful.

  • "Modern Warfare 3" ??

    Quote from Puddy

    Such an infinitely huge pass... I want to see the sales figures for it though. I'm hoping BF3 at least caused a dent...

    Not even close;

    "Sequel breaks sales records again with over $400 million in revenues

    Estimated day one sales of Modern Warfare 3, based on Charttrack and retailer figures, stand at 6.5 million units in the US and UK alone, raising $400 million in revenues."

    So more shitty rehashes in the future! YAY

    Quote from Steppenwolf

    Played only 1.5 hours last night. Think i'm gonna love the game. However the keyboard controls are clunky as fuck and the menu system is atrocious. Gonna take a while to get used to it. I'm just glad that i have a couple extra buttons on my new mouse otherwise it would be unbearable.

    Pretty much the same thing I thought about the keys and menu, however much improved over Oblivion. I can already see the hours melting away.

    Cant wait till tomorrow.

    Quote from Pericolos0

    nothing wrong with big explosions and epicness lol. The problem is that it's a movie where you go through the motions. This kind of proof of concept trailer is like the worst way to design a game :derp:

    Fully agree with this. I perfer to play something with actual gameplay telling a story much like HL, etc, or just a cutscene.

    Im not a fan of QTE' either, (omg force unleashed travesty) unless its those moments your button mashing a knife away from your throat and as long as its not consistently showing up throughout the game. Little bit of variety + tenseness is ok with me.

    Quote from Rick_D

    just so you know i'm getting ready to head over to sledgehammer games, and i've got some big plans for how i'm going to defend modern warfare 3. they basically involve calling you all faggots for disagreeing with anything i say.granted this won't be very different from my current line of public relations but i will be doing it with a ten gallen cowboy hat this time. the devil's in the details.

    Get fired at Dice already?

  • Battlefield 3

    Quote from Bunglo

    I wont even bother with the other maps when this it out.

    I really want to punch your avatar in the face, however other than the burning oil fields map, I kinda agree. It will be refreshing. I still like to play them all though.

  • Battlefield 3

    Quote from deceiver

    We played Tehran Highway at lunch today at work, ran fine!Just finished the SP campaign tonight. Loved it! I don't care what the reviews said, it was really quite fun. I found the story engaging and kept me coming back and playing longer than anticipated...the one-more-chapter syndrome (kept telling myself, okay last chapter then I go back to MP). If a game manages that, it's a good thing in my book! And god damn was it beautiful. Can't wait until all games use deferred rendering and lighting!

    Yup I agree Joybe, I don't understand the reviewers and its a shame they are even allowed to play such a good game.
