I had the same problem with this on PS3, so I changed to PC.

Daws, best weapon you can get is the mace of molag bal... I improved it too :nod

Building up a Daedric Armor too

I've got a bow, forgot its name from one of those Ancient Nords bosses, Gaulder or something like that! fantastic, my archery level is only 45 but with that bow I'm dealing a damage of 33. It's good against mages because it sucks up magicka

Me neither, maybe this explains why .
Here you go mate, spoke to our main man s@int about it he gave me these solutions and it worked, no mouse lag anymore 


Fixing the ini files will stop the mouse being "laggy" and change the field of view from being only suitable for a console to being right for a computer. The FOV when you get it is about 80..... I changed it to 90 which seems about right.
Easier to just copy the instructions I used rather than trying to explain. :-

How do I fix the crash to desktop?
Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Sound
In the Playback tab, right click on Speakers (or whatever has a green tick next to it), then click Properties
In the advanced tab on this new window, select 24 bit, 44100Hz (Studio Quality) in the drop down menu

How do I fix some sound issues, such as hearing static during NPC dialogue?
Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Sound
In the Playback tab, right click on Speakers (or whatever has a green tick next to it), then click Properties
In the advanced tab on this new window, select 24 bit, 44100Hz (Studio Quality) in the drop down menu

How do I disable the smooth mouse settings?
Go to your Steam Directory -> steamapps -> common -> skyrim -> Skyrim
Create a backup of the SkyrimPrefs.ini file
Open the file, then scroll down to where it says [Controls] and find bMouseAcceleration=1
Change to bMouseAcceleration=0
Save, exit, and play

How do I fix the vsync ("laggy mouse") problem?
Go to your Steam Directory -> steamapps -> common -> skyrim -> Skyrim
Create a backup of the SkyrimPrefs.ini file
Open the file, then scroll down to where it says [Display]
Add to the bottom of the section iPresentInterval=0
Save, exit, and play

How do I change the FOV?
Go to your My Documents -> My Games -> Skyrim -> skyrim
Create a backup of the skyrim.ini file
Open the file, then scroll down to where it says [General]
At the bottom of this section, add fdefaultfov=XX (where XX is the FOV value you want to change to)
Save, exit, and play




INI ?, FOV ?, iPresentInterval ?,  :wwww

My head hurts just reading it never mind trying to apply it.

:sniffle

Mine doesn't crash. I just get a keyboard freeze, all the characters go about their business , walking , talking AND attacking me ! and I can do fk all about it . I'm reduced to saving my game almost every time I turn a corner or open a door.

FFS Woof, even I'm not a computer wiz, but its VERY easy! follow the instructions and you will be alright! It seriously takes off most of your lagy mouse problems and stuff like that.

to make you more confident, I didn't create a backup for any of the ini files, f*ck that didn't know how to do it! just played around

:D

sneak, archery from distance, x2 for sneak attack, never be seen.. thats the warriors way. Then, as they get close, switch to warhammer of flames

Yeah mate, old school sniping.

Got my mitts on a stash of Deadric Arrows and Bow , 24 damage points for every hit !

Sneak around and with one hit low level characters just collapse and those pesky skeletons just explode    :D
