Just wanted to see if there were anymore nerdy foot fetishists? I know there are a handful of foot fetish groups on Steam, which I am a member of, but just curious if anyone has started it, been playing it, or has beaten it.

I'm 80 hours in, just from side quest. Game is amazing. Trying to milk the pleasure and go slow on it.
GOTY goes to...

I'll probably be getting this as a Christmas gift. Gave enough hints to enough family members.
Posted by nusuth (Member # 7372) on :
i have it but just literally got it working on my old home machine this weekend.. which was filled with too much holiday and family crap to spend on time on gaming.
looking forward to cramming some serious time into it soon!
any hints or tips from anyone who has spent time on it?
Posted by Alcarde (Member # 44028) on :
Hints or tips? Take your time. The game seems to fix all of the problems and complications that Oblivion had. For example, it seemed that Oblivion's main quest line was rushed, you had to go here and you had to quickly do this and so forth. So far in Skyrim, you can take your time.
I have to say though, that the first 10 minutes of the game, sets the stage and the pace. You start off with no knowledge of your character or past and then as you still can't regain control of your character as you go through scripted scenes, the game explodes into action. Whereas Oblivion had you following the Emperor through the sewers and then on your own only to meet up with him later, in this game, you have someone with you and guiding you through those initial "tutorial" style moments.
The game rocks and with skills that level up differently and with perk trees that make you better and more well-rounded it seems like so far, this game is a way more fun. Are there tons of little caves that are filled with a few mobs and get you about 50 gold? No. Are there millions of elven ruins where you go in and it has the same stone walls, old vines and roots and mists with a skeleton or two? No. The game designers took time to make things look real. Right when you play, look for a book and open it. Most books in Oblivion had a few pages with writing on it. Books here in Skyrim can have as many as 50 pages of words on them. Someone took the time to design everything, from the way the light makes shadows in caves, to the AI that bandits have when they talk to each other.
Sadly, the bare feet of the female characters still is not imaged well so they still look boxy, but hey, not everything can be perfect.

i just got out of the dungeon/basements yesterday and honestly, it seemed alot of the same as from Oblivion. the graphics are AMAZING.. although, i have it set almost as low as possible. 800x600 res, lowest details possible, and lowest draw in distances possible. worst yet is that there are rendering remnants on my screen that never change so thats pretty annoying. that castle thing in the distance across the river looks so damn inviting but i am pretty sure i'll get my ass handed to me.. we'll see Posted by Alcarde (Member # 44028) on :
@nusuth, where did you see the castle across the river? I may be able to tell you what it is. For the most part, if you stick to the roads, you are safe, just like oblivion.
So, far, I've been in some caves, tombs and ruins and they have different wall textures and floors and even some different mobs. That much is different. I remember going into ruins in oblivion and it was the same tileset for the walls and floors and the same wraith-looking mobs and skeletons. That was it. I grew tired of exploring in oblivion because everything looked the same, even with the expansion packs.
There are so many new spells and new monsters that make the experience interesting and weird. It is so much fun. Everything is good until you fight your "spoiler" (second dragon)

I've been playing this straight for the past 2 weeks! My clipstore has suffered from it, haha.
I've been doing side quests. I think I'm level 30 with my Redguard. So much fun.. though it makes me wish there was a better MMO on the market.
Posted by nusuth (Member # 7372) on :
omg.. you guys suck! i havent had a chance to play it since i last posted. damn kids and wife!! lol
the castle is more of a set of ruins. it looks like arches from a church but must be huge cause its pretty far away. i REALLY need a new PC but nothings gonna happen on that front until after xmas.
i never got too tired of oblivion cause i used alot of user made mods that breathed some serious new life into even normal play. loved it.
Posted by Alcarde (Member # 44028) on :
yeah, I hear there are a lot of mods coming out for this one, and so far, it seems that the playable map area is much larger than oblivion. As for time, I have a wife and two kids, myself, but we normally try to get the kids asleep by 9:30 so they can get enough sleep before we wake them up at 6:50am for school. So, after 9 or 9:30pm, if I'm not having foot or other play time with my wife, then I'm playing either on the PS3 or the PC and in this case, the PC for Skyrim. Like I tell my friend, who has only a gf and no other family and such, if you want to play the game that much, then make time. To be fair, I did only get 45 minutes of play last night, and sometimes get about an hour a night and that is it. But an hour gets me, about 1/2 of the way through a dungeon or tomb, because I like to take my time.

I forget my steam username right now, but as soon as I get home, I invite any of you foot loving people, to join me on Steam. In fact, as I said, I'm a member of what I believe to be every foot fetish themed Steam group.
Posted by Lix Vixen (Member # 43237) on :
@nusuth If you don't mind sharing, what mods do you use for Oblivion? I was thinking about playing it Posted by Alcarde (Member # 44028) on :
So, anyone from guys with a foot fetish or girls with sexy feet, I guess that would be Lix Vixen, my username on steam is johndemo1. There are foot groups on steam and I am playing skyrim right now.
Posted by nusuth (Member # 7372) on :
@Lix Vixen.. dont remember at the moment. i used an oblivion mod manager and load them once and kind of forget about them. i will tell you though that i added some sweet new playable races and the updated graphics on the Khajits might even look better on Oblivion than Skyrim.
your best bet is to try reddit.com. its a HUGE website that caters to tons of things but search for oblivion and there is tons of info about what to use and how to use them. let me know if you need any more info.
Posted by Lix Vixen (Member # 43237) on :
I'll search for it and let you know.. thanks!
By the way, I love reddit. It has lots of foot content. I'm sure you already know this nusuth, but for those who don't:
I think there were two mods that I used... there was one that made the water clear, so if you swam in it or walked by a lake, you could see down to the bottom.: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=3763
Then there was one that made it so the guards were not all-knowing. If you were hidden and picked a lock or stole something, the guards wouldn't automatically know. This made the game better for thieves. :http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=OblivionMods.Detail&id=129
Posted by Alcarde (Member # 44028) on :
If you want more fun, make sure you have the Shivering Isles as well. It opens up a whole new zone, tons of new gear and made the game less boring, I think.
Posted by Salvy_Mic (Member # 13384) on :
I just started wandering around Skyrim myself...I fear I may never stop. I've barely played a few hours and I can already feel myself getting really addicted. It's gonna have to be a secondary game for me though, because I have a considerable backlog to get through
Posted by Alcarde (Member # 44028) on :
hah, I understand. I just introduced oblivion to a wow addict and she is taking a few minutes each week to play some oblivion. I don't want her to take time away from her paid wow game and play a free game, although I wanted her to see what it was all about.
I was playing skyrim as a thief for a while and then stopped to play a warrior, straight warrior and smithing and heavy armor. It also makes me addicted because I made my warrior look exactly like my wife.
Posted by nusuth (Member # 7372) on :
i finally got to play last night for about 30 minutes.. squeezed in between when i got some housework done and when my wife came home.. and then promptly lost a lot of my progress cause i walked away from the PC to talk to her and some bastard Nord walked up and skewered my ass.
but i like it Posted by Salvy_Mic (Member # 13384) on :
I'm playing mostly as a stealthy archer, but I'm trying to smith most of my own armor and create my own supplies if I can. I'm also falling back on some one-handed weapons whenever I end up in close quarters and I've been picking any lock I see.
Posted by Alcarde (Member # 44028) on :
well, a quick hint, the blacksmith that is in riverwood, or whatever the first town you go to is, has a restocked supply of iron and steel ignots. They restock about ever 2 days. You can take them without paying and without stealing so you can make some quick armor and such. Make leather bracers, since they take the least leather and make iron daggers since they take the least out of there. Don't forget to get training in smithing at the companions dude near the skyforge in whiterun, as you can train up 5 points in smithing, per level.
