There are many reasons why forcing people to play their games through services like steam is wrong. But let’s save that for another day and get you playing The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim without connecting to steam.

Care package runners are still too fast, and by care package I really mean any of those package grenades that allow you to run as if you’re speed hacking. Model 1887’s still have too much range, although they did make somewhat of an improvement. I still feel cheap using them, so i’ll continue to skip them in favor of the previous shotgun. But the big problem I have is with the various texture and XP hacks. I think their fixes lasted on the order of minutes or hours rather than days.

The only useful text chat is the friendly team chat. The public chat that defaults to the ‘t’ button is useless. The only thing you’ll see there is whining, complaining, and other types of spam. I found it not only useless and annoying, but distracting sometimes. 1/20th of all text is team chat, so it’s much less intrusive. Everything in the configuration file I describe below is user interface stuff. There’s no hacks or cheats available here.
