Skyrim - The Geology
 

This is a different slant - Geo-HeritageScience has a piece on the geology of Skyrim:
More information.

I usually find a rock that drops from somewhere without any reason and then starts stuttering and produces a chainsaw sound. And it's a magical rock. As the irritating sound can't be stopped by any means.

And I thought I was a geek..

Hehe, I once wrote geek science about the geography and geology of Morrowind myself. The TES lore forums were a great place for stuff like that. It can still be found on the net:

fun times!

I need to check this out … I studied this in RL long ago ! ;)

Nice. This rocks!

Fps limiter will stop that. Limit to 59. Unfortunate because I have 120 hz monitor but anything over 59 messes with physics for me.

I once wrote a comparison between diseases in MW and their (possible) real life counterparts. Don't remember much about it. Might do it again for Skyrim, although the diseases there seems mostly harmless compared to the nasty ones on Vvardenfell.

That was actually pretty fun! I like how the igneous rocks are over toward Morrowind.

Just playing the game as it's meant to be played - with v-sync turned on, fixes it too.. there's a reason why they dont have on/off for v-sync in the options, it's supposed to be on.

Very geeky and fun article :)

That was quite cool.

Vsync helps immersion very much but sometimes introduces mouse input lag which some people find extremely annoying - especially those of us from an FPS background. Triple-buffering and maximum pre-buffered frames (or render ahead limit or something) are other settings to mess with when trying to fix input lag, though the latter can nuke framerate a fair bit and Skyrim wasn't terribly well-optimized the last time I looked.
Without the uberhardware to fix such problems you just have to choose why you're going to put your fist through the screen next time you die.

Hehe that's true, and it does introduce mouse lag, at least in the menus, but havent noticed it while running around in the world. Ordered a 4GB GTX 680 today to be able to play it with more mods, i feel my 580 isnt enough any longer :/

I haven't had to much trouble, I fiddled with the mouse settings to get something workable on the menus with VS on. I have a 4GB GTX 680 and its great … although I got a bit addicted to mods and finally hit my limit so had to cut back a bit :p

A great article as well. Lot of fun to do things like that. Adds some real science to the game :)

@Vurt - Never recognized the name till now, if you are the same Vurt who does that kick-ass flora mod on Nexus :-) Kudos on a great mod by the way.

Hmm yes i might have to look into that, havent tweaked the settings in the .ini. Glad you like the mod :)
