How does public transportation work in SimCIty?

I'm wondering if someone could shed some light and advice on how to manage public transport and traffic in general in SimCity. I always end up with traffic chaos even though I try to have bus stops coverage everywhere and street cars on main streets. This results in a lot of unnecessary problems because various utility and safety vehicles are always stuck in traffic. How do I use public transportation best to improve traffic conditions?

Will a step down converter from 220V to 110V-100W "toast" a Nintendo Wii?

I was checking the normal AC 110V to DC adaptor that comes with my Nintendo Wii and it says "52W" but my only options for buying are 50W, 60W or 100W. I am assuming the 50W won't be enough so I don't know if I should buy 60W or 100W. Thanks in advance!

Is there any advantage to talking to random townspeople?

Back in the olden days of RPGs like Dragon Warrior and Final Fantasy, you didn't have quest arrows showing you exactly where you needed to go. If it was your first playthrough and you didn't have Nintendo Power, talking to all the townspeople you encountered for clues was absolutely crucial if you wanted to advance further in the game. In Torchlight 1 and 2, the quest arrow shows the way and it seems that the townspeople in the game offer fairly pointless dialog. Do any of the townspeople in the game offer any useful advice or clue you in to areas of the game that aren't already marked by a shiny, flashy beacon?


How exactly does the Gunslinger work?

I've recently noticed that people have been referencing the Gunslinger's mini- sentry with the fact that it regenerates HP. What is this regeneration of HP?

Creep Score Ratio Questions

(1) What is a good CS ratio I must get on each meta-function (AD Carry, Jungler, Middle Lane, Support, Top Lane) at 10, 20, 30, 40 mins of game? I want to improve my CS but I don't know about the average target values in each function. I know that some events can change the score drastically, but I want the "ideal" or "average" values for reference only. (2) Sometimes, if I'm not a Jungler, I kill minor jungle monsters near the lane. Does this affect my allied Jungler CS/experience? Must I avoid it? (3) Is it true that a good Support needs to have near zero CS?

How do I cure my disease?

Apparently I have Witbane, although I don't remember contracting it. Last time I got a disease, I was only informed of it because a random passerby on the road offered to cure it for me.

How does attack speed affect Entropy's true damage active?

Entropy is a dominion-only item with the following description: > +275 Health +70 Attack Damage UNIQUE Passive: Your basic attacks have a 25% > chance to reduce your target's Movement Speed by 30% for 2.5 seconds. UNIQUE > Active: For the next 5 seconds, your basic attacks reduce your target's > Movement Speed by 30% and deal 80 true damage over 2.5 seconds (60 second > cooldown) I'd like more specifics regarding the mechanics of the true damage from the active ability. How is the damage distributed over time? 16 damage every .5 sec? 40 damage every 1.25 sec? More importantly, does it stack? Lets say I'm Yi and have an attack speed of 2.0 attacks per second. Will I get 800 true damage (from 10 attacks, stacking), 224 damage (16 true damage from the first tick of the dot for each of the first 9 attacks, plus 80 for the final attack), or something in the middle?

Explain the different time scales in Train Fever

I am quite at a loss how to interpret the different times and speeds given in Train Fever. For example, I have a truck line with horse carts traveling at 15km/h (according to their info). There are two trucks on the line, the frequency is given at "5 minutes", but it takes the truck a few game months to actually go from start to end. There seem to be three different time scales involved (The truck line does not seem long enough to warrant a few months travel time at 15 km/h). How do they relate to each other?


Is there an order to the Pokemon games canonically?

For all of the main Pokemon games since Pokemon Red and Blue, and all the way to today's X & Y, are the games in canonical order? I'm genuinely curious as to if there's an storyline spanning through all the games? So in this case, assuming it goes R,B,Y --> LG,RR --> Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald --> Pearl, Diamond --> Black, White --> X & Y? Or is it assumed that each game (in each respective region) happens right alongside other the games, timewise?

Does soul collection conflict with item collection?

I was farming in The King's Passage using the Jester's Hat and the Covetous Gold Serpent Ring +1, but at the same time I had the Jester's Gloves and the Covetous Silver Serpent's Ring +2 on as well to boost my soul collection. I was also consuming Rusted Coins with every run to help boost the item find rate. After all 7 runs (the enemies had stopped spawning) all I had found was one Stone Parma and a set of Llewelyn Leggings. That's pretty terrible considering the last few times I ran through there I managed to get at least 4 shields, 2 armour sets, 2 stone twin blades and 3 titanite slabs. Is it possible that my soul farming gear was interfering with my item farming gear?


What's the trick to beating level 4-9 of Escape Goat 2?

So I just can't figure out what to do in this level. Here is what I start off with: ![Starting Position](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Kj9i3.jpg) The two buttons in red cause the walls to move inward, resulting in the wheels starting to roll. The buttons in green toggle each other, and cause the circled platform to move. Hitting the left button doesn't seem to do much for me, since the wheel that moves as a result just falls out the bottom of the map. Throwing my mouse up to the ceiling doesn't do anything either. But, by hitting the right button, and then timing it right, I can manage to throw my mouse up onto the right side of the ceiling, allowing it to hit the green button. Unfortunately the platform doesn't have enough time to get low enough for me to jump on it before the wheel hits the second button and the platform starts moving upward again. When my mouse comes back around and hits the button for a second time, there's no way to reverse the platform to head back up, since I can't access the second button. I seem to be missing something obvious here. What is it?

Is it viable to play through the Witcher: Enhanced Edition relying heavily on magic?

Due to the recent release of the sequel, I have reinstalled The Witcher. I have previously played up to the end of the 2nd act but used very little magic. Is it viable to play using mostly magic? If so, which signs/talents should I concentrate on? If using swords with magic is more effective than just magic, I would still like to know which signs synergize well with sword talents.

Laning against Aatrox

So, the other day I found myself in top lane (as Riven) against the newest champion, Aatrox. And much to my annoyance, I lost lane pretty badly, with there being little I could do about it. The first problem is that Aatrox has built in sustain. Even before he gets items, he can heal up easily by just auto attacking minions. Considering he has a ranged slow for harass, this makes trading a joke, as he'll heal up any damage I deal, while I need to burn potions or recall. The second problem is that the lane is nearly unkillable. Sure, I can get in and do some nice damage as Riven, but his jump is very effective at letting him get away, and though I managed to force his passive several times, at that point he's close enough to his tower to escape before I can finish the job. In short, I'm up against a laning opponent that I can't kill and who has better harass and sustain. Is there a reasonable way to actually win this lane on my own, or do I need to farm it out and ask for jungler assistance?

How to decrypt the D.R.P. Mail Cypher message in Crysis-3?

Is there any other way to decode this message? Was it tied to something in the game that I missed?

I cannot download all minecraft files

In `%APPDATA%/.minecraft` I have only a bin/ folder where there is a file named version and in the `.minecraft` folder I have a folder named resources and a text file named options.

Empowering Might radius

So I spec my guardian to precision damage and toughness. I noticed that some of my team mates are not getting might during the usage of Empowering Might on my guardian honor spec maybe it's because of the stacking rule where you can only get 5 allied targets. Also another question is "what is the cooldown on it's effect?" because I don't think it would make any sense when a guardian just aoes a mob with 50% critical chance and the team would get a 25 might stack for 5 seconds

Mount and Blade Warband: Never awarded the correct points

Basically, **When I enter a battle, it says,** > You will get **24 renown** from this battle However at the end of said battle **I get maybe 6-10 renown**. **In the tournaments it say** > 1st place, awarded **30 renown**. However in the notifications, **I get 4-7**. I think the tournaments has gone down now since I won so many. But even though the amount I should get has gone down, the amount I do get is always even less. It doesnt matter where or why it assigns me it, I never get what it says I should. Running the Floris mod if that is affecting it. Im currently thinking of exporting my character and awarding myself another 500 renown to make up for the game. However I dont want to be cheating either, so It would have to be on morale grounds. **Is this suppose to happen or should I be getting full points?**

Getting Celebi in SSB Melee

For the record, yes I can google. Search results all say I need the following before I can see Celebi:   * All characters   * All stages   * All 51 event matches   * Beating Giga Bowser   * Beating Crazy Hand   * Sound Test   * Score Display   * Random stage select (Some of these are redundant, and sometimes Giga Bowser and Crazy Hand are omitted in sources.) I have done all of the above, checking the character screen for characters and the stage select screen for stages, as well as checking the message log to see that I've unlocked all characters and stages. I beat Giga Bowser after completing Adventure Mode on Normal in a speedy enough fashion, and beat Crazy Hand after completing Classic Mode on Normal also quick enough. The former gave me the Giga Bowser trophy but the latter didn't give me anything (so I don't have a Crazy Hand trophy, but sources say to get Celebi one must unlock "everything except trophies"). I did all of the event matches, got the sound test, score display, and random stage select. In an attempt to see Celebi, I've had four computers playing Final Destination with the only item being the PokeBall set to Very High frequency. After observing and keeping track a bit, I estimate very conservatively that I've seen well over 800 PokeBalls opened and still no Celebi. Mathematically, as the chances of seeing Celebi in each PokeBall in a normal Vs. match are 1/251, the chances of _not_ seeing Celebi in 800 PokeBalls is just over 4%. Either I've been pretty unlucky so far or I'm missing something - which is it? P.S. I've never used action replay or any hacking tool, and I'm pretty sure I've never deleted my data (although it has been over 10 years since I've last played, according to the message log, lol). P.P.S. Bonuses count in Vs matches right? So if I see Celebi in a Vs. match (even with all computers playing), it will count towards the Diskun trophy. If I do an unlimited time match and at some later point pause and reset, getting a No Contest screen, will all of the bonuses still count, and would seeing Celebi for the first time still count if it was done in that time period?


Dealing with pygmy superpigs in Angry Birds Epic?

I have localized version of Angry Birds Epic, so sorry if my names for things don't match, loosely translating. Game says pretty explicitly about finding specific combinations of birds for fights. I got basics worked out more or less (almost always need healer, sometimes heavy hitters work better, don't waste effects on immune enemies, etc), but having a lot of trouble with combination for damn **super overpowered pygmy pigs** (they are clearly pinnacle of pig evolution I've seen so far). As a whole this pig tribe has got following abilities:   * sturdy (easily multiple 500+ HP on screen)   * hard hitting (bunch of them deal damage very fast and boost with pepper)   * get reinforcements (summoners who get in more summoners? yikes)   * larger pigs come in single-target **and** multi-target versions   * got healers that are just ridiculous (restore 150+HP every turn for 3 turns, wat?) I am level 9, coming to "cliffs" area (left of map after sea, then going up), with most recipes from stores bought/crafted and all bird classes so far bought (except one for black bird that just opened up). What had I tried:   * white healer bird is simply a must, using with druid class since first one seemed less efficient at healing   * red bird with samurai defense makes survival easier, but locks it on defense completely, without making any considerable damage   * yellow bird with area poision/heal seems useful against crowds, but it simply doesn't have HP to take a larger pig hit   * black bird seems a little inflexible since it does little, but hit hard   * blue bird with poison/retarget is a monster... however the only reliable dispel is _another_ class of it :( Trying to focus on defense leaves me without sufficient damage dealing. Trying to hit hard isn't fast enough to prevent me from getting wiped out. Birds must prevail! How?

I've run out of money in King's Bounty: The Legend

I've played King's Bounty a lot. I'm in the "Demonic" setting now with fire and lava everywhere. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of money left. Every time I encounter enemies I lose a large amount of my own stack. I now know that a good strategy (if not _the_ best) would have been to invest in resurrection with a human army. Unfortunately I did not do that. I will run out of units in about 2 or 3 fights. I don't have much cash left. What can I do? So far I've seen two possibilities: dying a lot, then going back **all the way** (very long) to fight the same monsters over and over again until I defeat them. I won't – this is a game, it's supposed to be fun, and this would be a major pain. The second possibility would be to cheat – there is a cheat that allows you to create money out of thin air. But this will make the game boring as well.

ZvZ, how do I defend against 6-pool with a Spine Crawler?

I'm in Gold. In Zerg vs. Zerg, normally I'm fine against a 6-Pool rush when just Zerglings are sent - I defend with some Drones, get out a Spine Crawler, and soon after roll over my opponent who has crippled his economy. However, I just lost twice in a row to some players who quickly brought a Drone in and started building a Spine Crawler on my creep, then moved in with Zerglings soon after. When I would attempt to attack the Zerglings with my Drones, they would pull back and the Spine Crawler would hit the Drones. The second time, I did successfully get down 3 Spine Crawlers of my own which defended well, but the cost was high and my opponent actually was in an advantageous position and was eventually able to win. I guess I could just build my Spawning Pool earlier than normal (I usually build it around 13-14) but that'd be something of a waste if my opponent isn't actually rushing. The Spine Crawler comes in pretty dang early, like before I would normally send a scout. Should I be scouting much faster, like my first Drone or something? Would attacking the Spine Crawler while it is building help? If so, how many Drones would it take to ensure its demise without destroying my income? What's the best way to beat this rush and still come out on top?

Random speed boosts

When playing with friends, we all noticed that sometimes we'd get a random boost of speed seemingly out of nowhere, usually when we're trying to pass someone.

What are the criteria/requirements for this random boost to happen?

So I'm trying to make a redstone circuit that can repeat a task x amount of times and then reset it self. I was thinking of using a dropper and a hopper and use the hopper redstone signal (retrieved by a comparator) to check the amount, so lets say I need it to repeat a task 20 times, I place 20 items inside (along with the 3 items that are already inside the hopper, so it emits a 2 long signal once it has the 20 items from the dropper, I know how to do that part, but to the question, how can I make it reset to 3 on the hopper and 20 to the dropper? The main question is the one described in the first paragraph and the title, the second one would be good to know, but idk if its possible.


Stuck in 'Cavern Entrance' level

How do I change my map location in my Battlelog leaderboards?

I have just set my location in the battlelog leaderboards map. I set my location when I was not zoomed into the city level - I set my location when it was zoomed at state level. My problem is that I accidentally selected the wrong city! This causes a problem when I want to see the skill level in my city or nearby cities. _See below: This was the map level I selected my location at._ ![battlelog map](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ZXETP.png) _See below: This is the city location I am set at for when I click on the general tab to compare skills to people nearby. **This city is incorrect._** ![battlelog navigation](http://i.stack.imgur.com/AmAA1.png) How can I change my default location?

SSAO vs. HBAO vs. HDAO - What's the real difference?

The option confused me where I had the choice between SSAO, HBAO and HDAO in Far Cry 3. Hitting google didn't really give me any answers nor did enabling each option and comparing the results. Apparently I'm blind or something. First off, which one's the BEST quality? Secondly, what's the real difference between these options?

Certain PC Game Views Always Moves UP!

I only titled this "Certain PC Game Views Always Moves UP!" because I didn't know what else to ask. Here's the problem, I've tried installing Borderlands & Singularity & gotten the same problem with both games, (if I can explain this correctly) the "view" of the 1st person character (myself) ALWAYS moves to the top of the screen. As if you've moved your mouse up so that your looking straight into the sky. Whenever you move the mouse down, (effecting the view of your character) the view of said character moves directly back to the sky. It's not the easiest question for me to put into words. I've done a LOT of research on-line & found not one other person with this issue. I'm probably explaining it wrong. Any help would be appreciated. AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ 2.6GHz 2GB DDR2 Radeon HD4350 Catalyst 10.7 500GB HD 75% Full Windows 7 Ultimate Anything else needed to know please ask. EDIT I also have a Microsoft wireless mouse with the IntelliPoint driver & Logitech wireless keyboard & mouse combo with the SetPoint driver & Xbox 360 controller & driver & Xpadder 5.7 for those games that don't support joypads. I've tried EVERY combination of ON-OFF diver-mouse-xpadder-no xpadder but it ALWAYS ends up with the exact same video issue. Every other game plays fine. COD MW 1 & 2, Farcry 2, Fallout 3, LEGO Indy 2, etc etc etc BTW, I know my machine isn't a "gaming rig", every other game works fine. If these two do the exact same thing than I know there will be more.


Is there any possibility how to see the elapsed GAME time in multiplayer SC2?

I know that this question has been discussed a bit in numerous topics about SC2, but still perhaps there is a possibility how to see the elapsed **game time** ingame? Or is it perhaps planned in future SC2 patches? For campaign missions, you can save and reload the mission then read it on the loading screen. I'm mainly interested in this for multiplayer games, however.


Is it possible to combine system link and split screen play on Halo 3's campaign?

I know that online you can play 4 player campaign, but on split screen mode you are limited to two players. Is it pssible to play both System Link and split screen with two consoles, and two players each? (Between free games with my 360's replacement, the free game when someone got it as a present, and the disc in ODST and the fact that Gamestop only give €3 for trade ins I do have several Halo 3 game discs)


Will an unauthorised repair count as a modded console from Microsoft's perspective?

I've had a broken, out of warranty Xbox 360 lying around for some time. Microsoft want €135 to repair it, which isn't worth it. A friend's friend does repairs for €40. Would this repair cause MS to recognise it as a modded console (ie is the check for nodded consoles a check for unauthorised components or just a check for opening it up)? I can do without Xbox Live on it, as I still have my main 360, but it'd be handy if two could play the same game online together at once.

How do I force a game to download saves Puzzle Quest from the Steam Cloud?

I have Puzzle Quest on Steam, and it supports Steam Cloud. I know that I had a save file in this game, but when I installed it and tried to play it, I did not have my saved game. I tried to uncheck the "Enable Steam Cloud synchronization" checkbox in the settings window, and then closed the window, opened it, and rechecked the box. I also tried exiting and restarting Steam, verifying the game cache, and reinstalling the game. After doing all of these I still do not have the save file. How can I force Steam to download my save file from the cloud?

Why won't these bonders bond?

You can see where this is going... ![](http://i.imgur.com/zcWCy.png) The red and blue waldos are about to cross over bonder tiles with a **BOND +** command on the bonder near the bottom left of the screen. The problem is nothing seems to bond! Thinking it may be a bug, I've tried restarting the game and rejiggering the red path to drop the carbon atom onto the bonder, perform **BOND +** , then grab it again to no avail. I've also tried sending the blue waldo over a **BOND +** command without success. Searches online have found a couple other people in similar situations with no apparent resolution. I love this game, but this is aggravating! Thanks for your help!

Essence Extractor related with the Dark Brotherhood questions

I am close to finishing the "To Kill an Empire" mission in Skyrim. I learned that after this mission... > ...most of the members of the Brotherhood will be slain. Just recently, I > learned some info that caught my attention that says "Subsequently, > Gabriella is killed during the Penitus Oculatus assault on the Dark > Brotherhood Sanctuary (You can extract her blood using Essence Extractor for > Discerning the Transmundane quest). Her corpse can be found on the table > where Festus Krex, Babette, and herself usually stayed." Reference: http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Gabriella   It got me thinking that should I postpone finishing this quest until after I complete the "Discerning the Transmundane" mission? Is there any implication or negative effect if I finish the Brotherhood mission before I obtain the Essence Extractor?

Should my energy collectors be running even when I'm logged off?

I have a private server running Tekkit and I'm finding that some (perhaps all) of my energy collectors are running 24x7, even when nobody else is logged on (supposing I log off in the evening, when I check on it in the morning I can find half a stack or so of dark matter waiting for me in a chest). **Are energy collectors supposted to work even when nobody is logged onto the server?** Its nice having all of these resources, but I can't help but wonder if this is a bug. My friend and I are the only people whitelisted on the server and I've checked the logs so I know that nobody else is logged on. Also neither of us have placed any world anchors or anything like that. The collectors are close to the spawn, I'm not sure if that makes any difference or not.

How can I preview a Halloween paint on an item?

Halloween paints are still working. There is a program called TFMV which lets you preview loadouts and paints on TF2 classes by scanning the VMT files for each item and making an easy interface for editing them (then loading them in HLMV), but it (somewhat understandably) doesn't include any of the Halloween paints. I read this wiki page about previewing paints by editing the color values in the VMT files for each item, but it doesn't mention how the Halloween paints animation worked or what their color values were. If anyone knows what the values are that need to be edited in an item's VMT file to see a Halloween paint, or any other way I could preview this effect, please help P.S. I want to view the effect on a specific item, so the preview on youtube of the paints on a gibus is not helpful


How to beat the training ground in Ninja Village

Items Unique To Ice Biome?

I've been moving along my progression line at a brisk pace in Terraria lately, all the way up to a full set of Crimsonite Armor and weapons, a Minishark (I prefer it until I get a better supply of stars for the Star Canon), and basically all the meteorite equipment I want. I'm ready to take on the Dungeon, but there's one biome I have yet to fully explore... My Underground Ice Biome. This is a bit ironic, since I decided to move my home on top of that biome, but I only ever explored the depths of it a little bit one time, and while that got me a nice Ice Boomerang and a Frost In A Bottle, I hardly ever use the Boomerang anymore and I don't think I'll need more than one X in a bottle from there. Is there any reason to further explore my underground Ice Biome? Are there any unique items I'd be missing by going straight to the dungeon and, from there, the sky and eventually down to Hell?


Is Democracy 3 deterministic?

All of the systems in this game are very complex. Policies have all sorts of knock-on effects, and voters are effected by any number of them. But if I perform the exact same actions in multiple runs of the game, will I get exactly the same result? It would be nice to know the answer to this question right down to the individual voter level, but probably only the developer could answer that, so I'd settle for an answer at the election level.

Perhaps through a console command?


Issue in Updating LoL

So my League of Legends version is a little behind, and I'm getting it up-to- date. However, it will not let me download the next file in the update, stating > Unable to connect to the network, please try again later. So, I waited a while, and tried again later, just like the magic 8-ball instructed. However, I am still not able to connect. In looking into the logs, it says:               03/05/2012 17:00 [WARNING] Download failed [TORRENTHELPER_ERROR_INVALIDMETAFILE]     03/05/2012 17:00 [WARNING] Attempt to retrieve metafile[LOL.Air/93/LOL.Air_93_90to93.solid]     03/05/2012 17:00 [INFO] [LOL.Air] State change [PATCHER_STATE_PREPARE] to [PATCHER_STATE_FAILED]      Which leads me to believe that it can connect, it is just having troubles with the files. Does anyone know of a fix for this updater issue? **Update:** Apparently others have had the same issue, but there doesn't seem to have been any resolution.


How do I get all 3 characters together for the "Three man army" trophy?

Over the course of my entire game I have been trying to phone each of the protagonists in order to get this trophy. Each time I successfully 'Hang Out' with one of the characters the other one is always unreachable (busy tone on their cell) or not interested. What is the easiest way to get all three characters together in order to get this trophy/achievement? Secondly, there are obviously points in the story where this is not possible due to certain characters being otherwise occupied. Is there a best or easiest time to get the characters together? Specifically:(End game spoiler) > I want to know if it is still possible to get this trophy in post game.

What are the stats for the MegaTower segments?

Cities of Tomorrow introduced MegaTowers, which have many different segments which can be built. So far I know these:               LW Residential: 800 workers, 400 shoppers and 200 students.       800 cost per hour, 1200 rent per hour     T1 Office: 1200 LW, 400 MW and 100 HW workers.       900 cost per hour, 1900 rent per hour.       (no pollution, no freight, immune to techpoints)      I'm mainly interested in residential agent counts, goods counts, worker counts, cost and max rent per hour, and power consumption (in 10's of power units). My theory is that these buildings pay less in rent and take more in power than equivalent original RCI would pay in tax.

What causes some homies' phones to give a busy signal when called (not able to be a follower)?

I've been playing SR3 again after playing SR4 for some time. I've noticed that in SR3 (like in SR2), some homies can not be called to be a follower on certain instances (their phones will give out a busy signal). This is unlike in SR4, where homies can be asked to follow you almost anytime and anywhere even when you have an active mission in Steelport*, and even shortly after they were just dismissed or shortly after the homie / player character dies. ![Homie's \(Pierce\) phone giving out a busy signal](http://i.stack.imgur.com/oWM8B.png) I know that homies can't be called as a follower most of the time when you currently have a mission active. But even if I don't have any mission active, some homies' phones still give out a busy signal when called. I also know that there's a cooldown period before you can call a homie again to be a follower after they have been dismissed. In instances where I don't have a mission active, **what causes the homies' phones to give a busy signal when called? And how does this work?**   * How long is the cooldown period before you can call a homie again to be a follower after they have been called previously (after being dismissed or after the homie / player character dies)?    * Are there locations where you can't call a homie to be a follower?   * Are there certain events (not necessarily active missions) where homies won't be able to be a follower? * * * > * Actually "Fake Steelport" or "the Simulation"

Lords of Midnight (8 bit version) - did anyone complete it? If so, how?

I had many happy (& frustrating days) playing Lords of Midnight on the C64. However I never came close to completing it. The idea seemed simple, get Morkin to destroy the Ice Crown, or get Luxor's armies together to defeat Doomdark's armies. However the further North I got with Morkin, the more likely he was to die when fighting something stupid (and getting to the point where I was surrounded and had to fight). Meanwhile I'd be recruiting armies, and seeming quite good, but suddenly get caught out running into a seriously big enemy army and not be able to marshal my armies together to defeat them. Did anyone out there finish this / or have any tips on how to do so? I'd consider revisiting it, but wondering if it is even possible or if it is unbeatable?

Backing up my 360 Save Games to USB stick

I see so many different answers about this I'm not sure which is true, so I'd like to ask: Can I save my Xbox 360 games to a USB drive for safe keeping? I'm selling my Xbox 360 slim and my collection of games :( It was a tough decision, but I haven't played it in 6 months. Any gaming I do now is on my Apple devices or PS3/computer. Anyway, I just bought this slim about 6 months ago so I decided to put it on eBay, along with all the games, controllers, accessories, etc... The bidding ends tomorrow and I plan on clearing the hard drive for the new owner, but I want to make sure I back up my save games; some of them go all the way back to the Xbox 360 release. I want to back them up to save them in case I ever want to play these games in the future. I'm not interested in downloaded content or games, just the save games. Can I do this without buying a memory card?


How can I easily find enemy units / cities in Civilization 4?

I'm closing to wiping out an enemy civilization but cannot find their remaining units and cities. How can I do this?


Why should I care about bleed damage?

In my upper 30s, at a time when my effective DPS was about 600, I found a weapon which gave a chance of causing bleed damage. The numbers seemed... underwhelming. Basically, it was some small chance to cause 1-5 damage for 5 seconds. Now +1-5 base damage might be OK, since it would be multiplied by all the percentage increases. But it doesn't sound like the bleed damage would get that increase, and so it seemed completely worthless. So why does this affix even exist? Did I just happen to get a really low level of bleed damage compared with my DPS at the time? Does it ever reach a point where it is worthwhile as compared to other affixes that increase your base damage? Am I missing something else that causes this affix to be worthwhile?


How do Protections work in Global Agenda?

In Global Agenda, you can spec for skills in "AoE Resistance +8", "Ranged Resistance +8", "Melee Protection +6", etc, as well as "Physical Protection +4". I know that physical protection is the same as having an equal amount of Ranged, AoE, _and_ melee protection, but I'm a little foggy on what that protection actually means for my characters. How does protection actually translate into mitigated damage? Is it just a flat percentage reduction? (I.e., 4 protection means you take 4% less damage from the protected source?)


Persona 3 lighting glitch on PS3?

I'm playing Persona 3 FES on the PS3, downloaded from the PSN, and I've noticed certain light-colored textures in the game are flashing and very bright -- for example, the tubas in the music room, or (more painfully) the walls of the top block of Tartarus. Is this the result of anything I can control? Some setting on the PS3 or on my TV perhaps? It's starting to give me a headache. An example of what I mean (note that the capture software in this video dulls the effect some, it's much brighter on my tv):


How to drop Hellbats?

Playing vs Terran **I was often attacked by Hellbat drops. Usually that was so painful.** These Hellbats kill SCVs quickly. Even if those guys are running away, the Hellbats are transported by boosted Medivacs, and it is barely defendable unless protected for in advance: scouted drop, prepared bunker in mineral line, etc... **Now I play Terran myself and found out that Hellbat drops are pretty hard to execute** :   * They need to be micromanaged properly. (e.g. instead of killing workers they start killing structures/Queens, other stuff...)   * Enemy workers are moved out, and even if Hellbats are microed properly they don't kill much as Medivacs are killed by Queens/Marines/Stalkers...  I'm frustrated... things that looked so dangerous against me don't really work now for me... **Could you please recommend the instructions or reference some guide how to execute Hellbat drops properly?** Thank you very much in advance.

How many trading centres and ships do I need?

Is there a good ratio for number of ships to trading centres during the different points of the game? I am trying to progress to Lord Mayor in Luebeck and have 5 trading centers at this point and a lot of businesses. Is there a certain number of ships that are ideal?

How to Dice Chain in Veggie Samurai?

I know it's a silly question, but I just can't understand what breaks my "dice chain" in Veggie Samurai. What is the correct move to chain the strokes?


How do Piercing Shot and Piercing Spreadshot compare?

I know that the Huntress's Piercing Shot shoots one piercing projectile, while the Ranger's Piercing Spreadshot skill shoots three. However, I'm wondering what the differences are in the damage scaling, mana cost, and recharge time. Does the Ranger's Piercing Spreadshot offers more DPS on single large targets like Ogres and bosses because of the "shotgun" effect of hitting with all 3 projectiles? How much damage will a maxed Piercing Shot do compared to a maxed Piercing Spreadshot? How much damage do the single projectiles of Piercing Spreadshot do in comparison to Piercing Shot? My DPS character is currently a Huntress, but I'm wondering if switching to a Ranger would allow for more DPS via this skill.


Do follower spouses still make money on their shop if they are out with you?

I was considering getting Alea the huntress and use her to come out on adventures, but if the shop will close if she comes with me, do I need to find a better spouse?


Do percentage bonuses stack?

I currently have three items that give a percentage bonus to Magicka Regen:   * Archmage's Robes: 100%   * Morokei: 100%   * Ring of Resurgence: 80% Are these bonuses stacking? Or should I drop the ring and one of the others because they're superfluous? How does bonus stacking work in Skyrim?

Is it possible to collect exploding pods?

In the Ag Center (went-there-first version), Kathy Lawson wants me to collect an exploding pod, but this doesn't seem to be possible because the left-click action on the pod plants is always to attack it. Using Outdoorsman shows a task possible on the plant, but trying to carry it out does nothing. It is actually possible to collect the pod?

What is the chance of Skatole to appear at the Shell Game?

In the Arcade room when you play the Shell Game with the beggar there is a chance of him revealing Skatole under one of the Host Skulls when betting. I know when it appears you have a 33% chance of winning (nearly 55% when having Lucky Foot) but the chance of it appearing is not stated anywhere. Is it completely random or is there a set chance percentage of it appearing? Or is it based on your Luck stat? Thanks in advance.


Clash in the Clouds: Can money be used for anything?

I've completed every level (although not gotten every Blue Ribbon). Bought every Vigor and Weapon upgrade from both Vending Machines. Purchased every item in the Museum. And yet I still collect cash for completing levels. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/siuHd.jpg) Aside from purchasing Resurrections, is there anywhere else in the game I can use this money?


Do different classes get different weapons?

In ME1 and ME2 classes got specific weapons to use e.g. solider got everything except smg. With the addition of the load out customization I do not understand whether or not this has been carried over to ME3. I cannot find anything on the ME wiki about this and would like a more direct source, does it carry over or does it not?


Droid prices increasing?

Does anyone understand yet, if only the 5-bux slot increases its price after every droid? Will the price be reset if you use another slot? Maybe it's more reasonable to just move onto the 15-bux slot and try to get the level faster than in the 5-bux slot?


What quest/dialogue leads you to Ivarstead?

After killing the first dragon and becoming Thane of Whiterun, the Jarl suggested I visit the Greybeards to learn more about the "power of the voice". I could see High Hrothgar was on a nearby mountain top on the map. And there were enough hints with the "seven thousand steps" to make the connection with the high peak where High Hrothgar is located. However I could not find a path to the top. Eventually I noticed the quest marker pointing to Ivarstead. A friend told me this is where I should go. **How was I supposed to learn about Ivarstead, and what am I even doing there?** I can't find any quests in my log that refers to it. I do not remember anyone at Dragonsreach mentioning it either. PS: Also what added to my confusion is this: as I fooled around with a new character, upon returning the Dragon Stone, I saw for the first time Delphine at Dragonsreach discussing with Farengar. There was also a book on the table listing various settlements, possibly giving me useful information about areas on the map. On my original character, I never saw Delphine there, and this book is not there on Farengar's table either. Is this a bug?


How do I make Assassin's Creed: Revelations play nicely with multiple monitors?

In Assassin's Creed: Revelations, it will frequently alt-tab to desktop when I click because I have multiple monitors and the mouse pointer has moved to the 2nd monitor. Most games work fine with multiple monitors and don't have this problem. Is is possible to fix without disabling the 2nd monitor every time I want to play?


Why is my MFR Harvester harvesting blocks BEHIND it?

I'm attempting to set up a sapling farm to feed into my bioreactor. However my harvester keeps harvesting my nearest building, despite the fact that the building is located BEHIND the harvester, which is supposed to only harvest blocks in front of it. What gives?


How many rooms in sandbox?

I was playing Halo 3 ODST on sandbox last night. While I was deleting everything so I can make a huge structure for the Halo version of cops and robbers, I accidentally deleted a block and a hole was exposed. Out of pure curiosity I jumped down the hole. While doing this I thought jumping down the hole was a pretty bad idea. I know you can go above and below the main level. Is that all the rooms, or is there more?


Better to start on level 5 than on level 7?

I've unlocked the level 7 checkpoint by reaching level 9 and since then I've started on level 7. I have once managed to get to the last boss, several times I've gotten to level 9 and many times I've died on levels 7 and 8. My problem nearly always consists of having too little ammo (either cause I want to conserve ammo for hard enemies and/or bosses) which leads me to use weaker weapons which leads to taking more damage. I've tried starting a few times from level 5 instead and that has gotten me quite a bunch more ammo when I get to the last few levels but it both takes more time and I've also failed a fair few times before I even got to level 7. Obviously you can get finish the game from level 7 but I wonder if it's worth the extra time to go from level 5 instead.


What does the Power Save option do on 3DS consoles?

If I go in to the brightness control on my 3DSXL, I see that there is a "Power-Saving Mode" that can be turned on or off. Presumably this reduces the power consumption of 3DS consoles, but how does it achieve it and how much of a boost in battery life does it yield?


Minecraft - finding an ore

I have written a mod to produce a new ore which is working great. Then I added some more code so that veins of this ore would be randomly generated. I cannot tell if this is working as I cannot find any veins. Is there a cheat in vanilla minecraft that could help me find a vein? Many thanks


How to kill enemies with special immunities?

I really enjoy this game but I simply can not kill some creatures. The skinny purple birds in wave 26th on the level called _"the Barrens"_ seem to resist everything I throw at them, even though I had every kind of tower. Even the last wave was easier to deal with. I finished the level by buying more lives. The same happens on the next level, _"Battle Plain"_ , wave 24, the dragons with red backs and white bellies are indestructible. Do you know of any special tower combinations that kill them easily?


Can champions be effective warriors?

Champions in Fallen Enchantress are like RPGs writ small: they level up, gain traits, can be equipped with varying equipment, and are the only units that can complete quests and pick up equipment. The trouble is I can't figure out how to make effective warrior-champions. When I equip a champion with a sword, he's less effective than a unit of three grunts wielding the same sword: to wit, he has about the same attack as _just one_ of those grunts. He may live a bit longer, but he's usually doing pretty terrible damage unless I've gotten lucky and found an excellent weapon. Otherwise, if I buy him equipment from the shop (i.e., the same equipment I can equip my regular units with), he ends up being a very expensive copy of a single figure of a unit, because the shop practices daylight robbery. The unit that I would otherwise build with the same equipment will be cheaper, do more damage (three guys with the same weapon!), and have about the same number of hit points (3 weak guys roughly equals one low-level champion; it only gets worse once I can have 4, 5, or 6 guys in a unit). Champions make fine mages, doubly so since **only** champions can be mages. **But how do I make a non-mage champion effective?**


What do the different coloured dots mean?

While playing Fire Emblem, I noticed that there are places on the map that are different coloured dots. There are red and green and purple ones, along with the more normal white ones. What is the meaning of the different colours?


How will I sleep?

I was playing in my minecraft pe when it was turning dark. I went to sleep but it said monsters nearby. I went up to the roof of my house and saw I creeper and 2 skeletons. I killed the creeper and let the skeletons burn in day. The next day, I was tapping really fast and it still said monsters nearby. I went to the roof again and did not see anything. How do I sleep?


Why did all of my items disappear?

So today I logged onto my minecraft singleplayer world and all my items (including my armour and chest items) disappeared. The weirdest thing was all my item frames were knocked off the walls, the chests were still there (just empty), and all the signs said really weird stuff. Here's one example: > null   >  "dyes and   >  dye ingredients"   >  null What's going on?

How to keep sentries and templars in the center of death balll?

Couple of posts about sentries usages (Effective use of Sentry in Starcraft 2) mention it is good to keep sentries in the center of you army so guardian shield will cover bigger amount of units and sentries can FF opponent quicker. Similar I can say about templars: in center they are more defended and can quicker cast storm or feedback. But even though I keep sentries on the same short-key as other gateway units they tend to spread out asides. With templars that is even worse: they are slower and I keep templars usually on a separate short-key. As a result they often either behind and come to the battle too late or they are unprotected at all... How you deal with this to keep sentries in the center of the death-ball and templars close to it? Thanks a lot for any advise! P.S. I do realize that keeping casters in PvT is vulnerable to EMPs, but in my current level (top gold/medium platinum) I'm not EMPed too often and that is not a problem for me yet.


How can I escape from monsters quickly in Minecraft?

In Minecraft, I often find myself being ambushed by hostile mobs as the sun starts to set, especially when I'm far away from my base. What is the most effective way to escape from monsters/hostile mobs in Minecraft?


How can I get Grade 1 Lost Artifact Fragments?

I can't seem to get any Lost Artifact Fragments through my Archaeology missions. I've been repeatedly doing the other missions that yield other Grade 1 materials in order to clear them out and hopefully have a mission that yields Grade 1 Artifact Fragments, with no luck. Torhead claims "Memoirs of a Crimelord" gives them, but I've never seen that mission come up. Is there something I'm missing here? Any other way to get them (besides the GTN if someone sells some)?


How do I unlock the additional batsuits in Batman: Arkham City Lockdown?

_Batman: Arkham City Lockdown_ has several additional batsuits available. I've completed all the stages once, and am now going through them again. I expected to unlock one or all of the suits as I progressed, but that hasn't happened. I see that there's a Purchase button next to the suits, but assumed it works like WaynePoints: available for purchase if you don't have the patience to earn them. **Do I have to purchase the extra batsuits? Or do they unlock at some point in the game?**


What combos are available in Batman: Arkham City Lockdown?

**What combat combos are available in _Batman: Arkham City Lockdown_?** The tutorial teaches you two:   * `->` `↑`   * `->` `<-` `->` `<-` It then urges me to discover others. To this point, I haven't found any. My usual tactics are to wait for an enemy to attack, swipe `↓` to deflect, then use the `->` `<-` `->` `<-` combo. **What other combos are there? What are the most powerful?**


Who are the Essential NPCs in The Citadel?

So I have begun my little side quest. I enlisted Fawkes, as I happened to start it in Underworld and realize that I had good alignment before starting. Cleared that out. Started clearing Rivet City. Will need to go home and change, because I think it will be funnier if I do this wearing the Pint-Sized Slasher Mask and Blast Off Pyjamas. In Rivet City, though, I had an unexpected surprise: Flak is essential, and unkillable. I know there will be more essentials as I do this, and the area I'm perhaps most worried about them is The Citadel. So who are all the essentials in The Citadel, since they're likely to be heavily armed (and armored)?


Once you've completed Lost Viking, are you able to select higher difficulties and what are the score multipliers?

Once you've completed Lost Viking, are you able to select higher difficulties without first re-completing the game on the easiest setting? Presumably there is a score multiplier when playing the harder modes; what are they and how many difficulties are there? When returning to Lost Viking, my "high score" is always 0. Is this retained if you save after leaving the arcade game?

How to Play Sauron Zerg More Efficiently

This video gave me a huge revelation: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=448128422764 There is one true way to harness the Zerg's power: overcome the enemy with sheer numbers, with continuous wave of forces, attacking from multiple directions. Yes, the only way to truly harness the Zerg's power, is by going Sauron. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gcBqcstXV8 JulyZerg popularized the Sauron Zerg in Brood War, so I'm wondering why he is yet to make it happen in Starcraft 2. I noticed one reason: Sauron works effectively on wide areas, with less to no choke points, allowing you plenty of room to maneuver your hydras and lings. Unfortunately, most 1v1 maps in SC2 have really narrow ramps, making it easier to defend against the Sauron. Protoss and Terran can turtle up, but Sauron must be executed as soon as possible. With waves easily countered by defending a single ramp, we have yet to see Sauron zerg in Starcraft 2. So as a bronze league player wanting to learn the Sauron in SC2, I'm asking all Zergs out there: what are little things I can do to effectively execute the Sauron?


How to play Multiplayer in Little Big Planet 2

Can a body be lifted from a parapet?

I have been playing revelations recently and was doing the quest where the minstrels have to be knocked out and dropped into the haystack. I made a mistake in the aim and now his body lies on a parapet. I am unable to pick it up from there. Is there a way to lift him or something? any pointers? I don't want to restart the memory as I will have to travel from far and be undetected too.


Best strategy for killing Mgalekgolo pairs

I'm in a nasty situation on solo campaign where I have to face off against a pair of Mgalekgolo (hunter, mechanized infantry - the guys with the giant green ball cannons and shield) in a single-elevation room, and I can't figure out a strategy for killing them. I know I can assassinate them effectively if I can get behind them, but while there are a lot of obstacles in the room, I can't figure out how to get into that situation. Is there a way to kill them without using the knife? They laugh off grenades and I haven't been able to find a spot for a head shot with the DMR (I have access to a DMR, Machine Gun, Shotgun, and a few small caliber covenant weapons).


How do you 'read' your opponents building choices?

Scouting is the key to victory I hear, but can anyone explain how to actually decipher what I've learned? It has to be more than just 'now he can produce X unit'. You usually need some buildings to tech up to other buildings anyways. How can you get a clue to what your opponent is planning just by scouting his buildings?


How to get the biggest army in 5 minutes?

What are good plans for getting the most units on the field within 5 minutes? There is only so much that you can do in 5 minutes, and many higher tech units are out of the question. What's the best build strategy for getting the most units very quickly? I'm thinking we can't spend quite as much on multiple production buildings because we want to save the money to make units in time for the cut off. Include all three races.


How do I play fullscreen?

When applying the fullscreen setting, the game does not go fullscreen. It will go to the specified resolution, but won't be fullscreen; it'll still be a window. I can change back to windowed mode and that works as a window, but fullscreen is not working after the latest patch. How can I make this game fullscreen?

Halo 3: ODST Achievement - Killing things that are new and different is bad/good

When I played through Halo 3: ODST I saw the "squids" and killed them when I saw them, and got a counter (1 of 10, 2 of 10, 3 of 10, etc) toward the achievement Killing things that are new and different is bad. Eventually, like in the scene when I'm in a banshee escorting the phantom through the city, when I would kill the squids, I wouldn't get that counter anymore, so I could never finish the achievement. On the other hand, I never saw ANY reference when I played toward getting the "good" version of the achievement. Can anyone tell me how to accomplish this, or why I might have stopped "getting credit" for my squid kills, and what the difference between the good and bad versions of this achievement are?


Do research choices and unit upgrades carry over into Multiplayer?

I haven't dared touch multiplayer in StarCraft 2 yet but was wondering if the research points I'm spending and unit upgrades I choose in Campaign mode will carry over into my multiplayer games? I don't know much about the game but want to pick what appeals the most rather than the _de facto_ choices but thought this might hamper me when I get into MP. I'll need all the help I can get :)


How do I create a mastercraft item?

I've leveled my blacksmithing up to level 10 and am now interested to see what it means to mastercraft an item. From several other places I've read, this simply indicates that I should now be able to craft epic level (purple) equipment and that the bonuses granted passively per item type should reflect that. However, in practice, this has not been the case. Even using the highest level ingredients (e.g. Prismere Chakram Discs, Flawless secondary/optional components, and gems), the items I create still come out as green or blue, with the appropriate stats to boot. I have noticed that adding gems to a recipe feels "odd", in that not nearly all of the gems I have in my inventory are available for crafting. Understandably so for Epic gems which are restricted to chest slot / robes, but definitely not 100% sure on how this functions. Am I missing an essential aspect of this, or is there something more subtle that I'm just not grasping (e.g. underlying math, component types, etc.)?


Chaos path weapon scaling

Let's say I have a Claymore sword, which I believe scales with Intelligence. If I upgrade that sword to Chaos, will it now scale with both Intelligence and Humanity, or just Humanity? This question really applies to all weapons, I just used the claymore as an example.


How to garrison troops in Medieval II: Total War?

I was playing campaign mode, and it says that you don't have to pay the troops' upkeep if they're garrisoned. I'd really like the money, but the problem is, I can't figure out how to do this. I'm looking for some button, but I just don't see it. A picture would be helpful, but not necessary. Also, is there some catch to this? Do you need some building, can only a certain number of units be garrisoned, can you not move them anymore afterwards, etc.?


Do Spartan Ops Missions Go Away?

I purchased and played Halo 4 when it was released last winter. I only played one **Spartan Ops** mission. I had only downloaded the first episode at that point (it was the only one out at the time), so I'm not caught up on the current missions. Can I still download and play all the older missions, even this long after original release?


Swirling Dust Clouds in Caverns

Are the chances to recover items from the dust swirls the same for all the items(particularly the type gems)? And does the chances of what you receive/encounter from the dust depend on the cavern the dust is found in?


Are resource nodes (ore, wood, herbs) instanced?

Are resource nodes (e.g. ore veins, trees, bushes...) instanced? I mean, does each player get his/her own set? On other MMOs resources are first come first serve, and I am under the impression that in this game everyone can gather resources from the same source (i.e. eveyone gets their own instanced copy) but I am not sure, and I couldn't find it on the GW2 wiki.

When will I get rewards for joining the Oceanic server?

On the LoL home screen it said that there would be rewards for anyone who joined the server in Oceania. I don't seem to have gotten anything or any notifications for it. Now that I've joined Oceania I can't get back to NA without spending rp. Btw I live in Australia but would rather play on NA servers. People have been telling me that I would get the rewards when beta ends but beta has already ended.


Giving Starbases advanced warning

**What is the effect of having the Comms station advise Starbases of your imminent arrival beforehand?** What is the benefit of informing allied starbases that you will be arriving soon? Does it improve the speed at which they will refill and repair your ship? What is the timing window you have to take advantage of this benefit, if any, after calling? Is there any consequence for giving them such notice and ending up not arriving in a timely manner (or at all)?


Are there any time-sensitive events in Skyrim?

Are there any time-sensitive events in Skyrim, whose occurrence is based on how many in-game days have passed? Or, to phrase it another way, are there any disadvantages to waiting out time indefinitely, as is often suggested for merchant restocking?


Can play multiplayer one way but not the other

I've got Minecraft Pocket Edition 0.7.2. My multiplayer won't work. My friend and I have the full version, the same game version, and the same Android phone. I can play on my friend's world easily, but he can't play on my world. Why is that?


Is there a trick to cat jumping sideways?

I'm playing Okami and in "Inner Yoshpet" there's a pit you have to cross with catprints across the sides. I don't see a cat statue, and I've managed to stick to the wall sometimes, so I assume that this is an area of permanent catprints that I don't need to brush myself. But I'm having no luck at all getting across this. I can make the first landing stick maybe 1/3 of the time, but it looks like you need to land 10 in a row to make it all the way across. I think I must be missing something here, because it's completely out of proportion with the difficulty of the rest of the game so far. I've never had _any_ puzzle or demon in Okami take more than 3 tries to figure out, and I've never had any trouble at all with sticking to any catprint wall. Is there a trick to it? What's the rule about when exactly to hit the button, or which way to aim? I seem to miss the wall and do a double-jump, even if the camera is tilted so that I'm going 'into' the wall, and then either I can't stick to the wall after a double-jump, or I'm too far away and fall off. I have noticed that sometimes I'll stick to the wall well below where the catprints are: are they too high, or is the whole wall sticky? I'm stumped. UPDATE: I made it past this area, but only after dying many times. I'm still curious if there's a trick to this, since it seems odd that this one part of a (mandatory) timed race is so much harder than any of the half-dozen-or-so 'bosses' I've faced so far. Or maybe I'm just really bad at video games.


Visual Boy Advance Unknown File Type Error on OSX for Mac

I am on a MacBook Pro running Maverick and I recently downloaded Visual Boy Advance v. 1.7.6 and am having trouble loading saved game states. I was playing Pokemon Emerald and saving via the in-game save option (not using the "Freeze state"). The saves seemed to work successfully and no errors popped up when I saved the game. After quitting the emulator and returning later, however, I had only the "New Game" and "Options" selections at the main Pokemon menu. The "Save States" folder has a file labeled "Pokemon Emerald1.sgm" that gives me an "Unknown file type" error when I try to open it with VBA and the "Battery Saves" folder has a file labeled "Pokemon Emerald.sav" that also gives me an "Unknown file type" error when I try to open it with VBA. Also, I know that this question was answered previously by Jerry, but he answered the question if it was being run on a PC. I need a solution that works with Mac. There is no "File" > "Load" options and pressing Ctrl + L nor Command + L will allow me to load any file. The "File" > "Import Battery" option is also not possible on Mac OSX. I am using both .sav and .sgm files. Thanks in advance for the help!


Is there a way to delete spells?

I remember in past Elder Scrolls games, you could delete spells from your inventory. I don't think this is possible in Skyrim, but it would be nice to be able to remove lower-level/obsolete spells to declutter your inventory. Who needs Healing or Close Wounds when I have Grand Healing now?

What is the difference between Non-Player Characters (NPCs) and bots in video games?

An NPC refers to any character that is not controlled by a human player, e.g. a fictional character portrayed by a human gamemaster. In the context of video games, what is the difference between NPCs and bots? Do NPCs only refer to characters a human player cannot choose to control?
