controls are fine, you can easily change them all to whatever you like and set it to mouse-look so it plays like other Elder Scrolls games
never noticed any real bugs with the up to date version
on windows you can use this version which sets everything up for you and includes a bunch of mods for more comfy gameplay

only issue I've noticed with it is the cycles might be too high which causes NPCs to stand in one spot so you'd need to lower them manually
I like the game a lot honestly, great for fucking around and genuinely spooky. way more freedom than any latter games
maybe follow a guide for character creation during your first run though and pick something easy like a generic warrior, magic is fun but a bit crazy

how long has this committee been going for now? isn't time for a tea break

Why does he bother talking about white superiority. He's an obese, pseudo-intellectual NEET

Lads, what's a good excuse for needing several days off? Something you can do before the days arrive. ie. so you don't need to get up early and phone in sick

They had this shit in Australia in like the 2000s.

imagine caring whether your thread gets used or not

sad

>>75817823
stop fucking posting your thread early and maybe it will get used cunt

Can't get to the polling station today because of work or illness?
Don't worry you can still register for an emergency proxy vote by calling your electoral officer before 5pm.

can we at least post until 300? not enjoying this new thread earlier and earlier meme

might as well make a new thread at 20 posts
does it really matter how old the thread is anyway? no one cares about the lame OP

>>75817863
actually i posted it at the bump limit every time rather than the preliminary new threads at 270 each thread before this
hence why the Janny has named me his favourite and allowed the thread to exist for over 2 hours

1. ignore,

>>75817573
It's like East Germany with less white people

>>75817355
1. Ignore
2. If threatened, dress up as a Russian national and then bomb their office. Make it look like some extremist white ultra nationalist group did it.

the first rule of /brit/:

>there are no rules

the second rule of /brit/:

>the unwritten rule is the closest to the 300th post is the new thread

>>75817355
Use an Russian phone line or IP address to call in fake bomb threats to their office everyday until they stop calling you.

Every time they call you, call back with a fake bomb threat.

They'll get the message soon enuff and stop fucking with you.

Politics is downstream of culture. If faggots are naming their drinks after politics most of them unironically have without any self-doubt then yes that is indicative of how fucking insane they are.

this comey cunt sounds like he's still living during the cold war
