Anyone here playing Skyrim on PC on low specs?

My system is pretty much on the nose in terms of the minimum requirements - 2GHZ dual-core processor, 2 GB RAM, recent but not very high-end ATI Radeon graphics card (I can't remember the exact model). I'm just wondering if it'll run the game at anything like acceptable quality.
 


Has anyone seen two dragons fighting?

Yeah, I've had a few dragons ignore me post-patch, too. Thought they were fixing that.
Sometimes dragons are not present for the specific purpose of attaching the player. They'll have the red icon on the compass if they're gunning for you. Otherwise, bumping into them is just a happy accident.

Yet another interesting link. How to break Skyrim...
I'd argue that's the whole point of playing Elder Scrolls titles: Trying to find ways to beat the system and exploiting the ever-present bugs.
At least that's the only part that I ever considered fun in this game series...

To me Elder Scrolls games consistently prove that pure point-buy systems can never be properly balanced.

Oh, yeah, I get that. But they are the only potential enemies that might not attack you for some reason. All other creatures attack you on sight. Humans may give you a warning to back off and then attack if you don't. If I shoot at a human and miss, they respond. They dragon won't unless he's already in attack mode.

If it's intentional that dragons don't always attack and sometimes just want to fly around and roar, they probably shouldn't state they are fixing that in the patch...
 


Note, I only advise reading this if you want phenomenal cosmic power, and don't mind spoiling the challenge of the game.
Dual wielding Absorb Health weapons seems to do that pretty well. After I saw how impractical Master Destruction spells were around level 45, I switched to Dual wielding and Ginsu-ed through everything. The one time the heath regain wasn't enough was when I stood face to face with Alduin's breath, but that fight still didn't take more than one or two Ultimate Healing potions.

Enchanting also is easy to break the game with. Lots of cash can be made off a petty soul gem with the Turn Undead, Paralyze or Banish enchantments on a junk weapon. All the while building enchanting up to max leading to complete energy Resist and cast spells for free gear sets. Though if you ask me, the damage output of the Destruction school kinda feels like the game devs kept it low because they knew you could eventually cast them for free.
