@Recon, I noticed frame rate issues after the patch too, but I will say it's limited and rare. Actually it happened as soon as I started playing with the patch and I was like, "great, here we go with this crap.." but it stabilized and only did it one other time since then.

The resistance thing screwed with me the first time you fight alduin because his fire breath killed me in literally 2 seconds flat. But eventually I just hid behind a rock every time he did it and that worked out. Otherwise certain mages with powerful spells cause a bit of trouble without the proper resistances. Lightning in particular messes me up.

My armor rating was 711 before I picked a perk for 25 percent extra for a matching set so it should be above 800 now. Pretty much nothing non-magical has a chance of really hurting me.

The one thing I miss, and only thing I miss is that you can't craft custom spells. I raped that system for all it was worth in Oblivion and had some seriously game breaking stuff created. But that one aspect missing is overcame by the fact that pretty much every other aspect in Skyrim is better. Plus dragons>oblivion gates imo.

^^^ Hear, hear. Worth doing more of the Daedric quests for gear and perks. I love that feeling of not knowing if what's around the next bend is going to kick your ass. I'll know exactly where the things like the skeleton key and sanguine rose are in a month. No rush. Some of the dungeons seem ridiculously long. Every complaint about ESIV has been addressed. Sometimes to the point of obsession. Nothing is perfect but they are trying.

Only a three more updates this year before the Christmas break and then the start of another season! Here are the changes that will be implemented next year...

1) Gamers with less then 500 GS for this year will be removed from the league. Right now that is MASTERZACK21, ULTRAFINE, and charlesjunior.
2) Rather than giving 6,5,4,3,2,1 league points for position, there will be 1 league point per 250 gamerscore awarded (based on yearly total, not week to week).
3) Platinums will be 10 points for retail, 8 for XBLA, 6 points for WP7 games, and 4 points for all free games. If you get the maximum gamerscore on a platinum game you will get full points. If you are not at the maximum gamerscore you only get half points. Half points will also be awarded when a gamer lifts the score of a game (even if they already hold the platinum but this will only apply if the game is at the 90% gamerscore complete mark or higher.
4) There will be 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 tournament levels. Scoring will be displayed in the rules starting the new year.
5) During tournaments, platinum points will only be rewarded at the end of the tournament OR if a player maxes the gamerscore of a tournament game.
6) Platinum points will not be awarded when new gamers join and create platinum games unless the score was achieved during the week the game becomes platinum.

These are a bit different then I stated earlier. They take into account a lot of analysis I did to make sure the league is as balanced as possible.



4) Games qualifying for platinum will further be refined. But I haven't finalized that yet. And if you have some ideas please let me know.

I'm sure any changes you make will be for the best Neo and hopefully make the league even closer come the end of the season.

The league is up-to-date for this week!

Wow, bad week for me.

Back in the cheevo hunting mood, and I really need to get a start on Halo CEA as it's killing my % completion. I aim to have 92% before I start Skyrim this xmas, that's the aim anyhow

The league is up-to-date for this week...

Thanks for the update Neo.

aka CRIM3 won the Saints Row 3 tourney though buddy.

I'm sorry that i played it pretty much all offline.......... but i had no choice, the chevos stopped popping for me when i was playing it online.

Thanks neo.

Aiming for Rayman, Bioshock 2, Mortal Kombat, GTAIV and Fable 3 plats soon.
