Does Skyrim have as many side quests and extra things to do like Oblivion? Seems like games are getting smaller as time goes on but I haven't read much about Skyrim.

Far, far more. Everywhere you go there are loads of interesting quests to do - they're all unique.
 
Glad you like it. The game is so engrossing and there is so much to do. I'm 24 hours in and I've only barely gotten into the main quest and haven't even started the thieves guild/dark brotherhood/champions quests yet.
 
I've been playing for 46 hours. I've not done much with the main quest line either. Though, I have scratched the surface of the mage's guild and thieve's guild. I don't want to far into them yet.

I'm trying to cut down on my quest list as best as possible. It seems though, every time you talk to someone/read a book/over here someone say something (seriously, I ran by a guard who said something about seeing a dragon fly by, and I got a quest to go find it).
Either way, I've at least gotten my miscellaneous quests down to 3. 2 of them are collecting quests and one is bugged, so I can't do it.
 
A few simple mods go a very long way to make this game look a lot better:

Yeppers, trying to find the other games I had for testing but ffx will have to do for now.. I'm not sure why it looks this pixelated, but it moves pretty smoothly at 50-60fps constant throughout all areas of the game. For awhile I was getting some pretty bad(in the sense of inconsistency, pauses, and dropping as low as 15-20 during some sections) framerates running off the disc. Are you supposed to use fraps to capture shots of regular pc games?

Depends on the game. With some games you can just use the print screen button and it has a built in feature to automatically save a screenshot when you press it (Skyrim, for example, does this). Other games may need Fraps, though.
 
Cool, thanks for the heads up and speedy response. All i've been getting when I print screen and paste into 'paint' is a black screen. Could it be affected by the fact that the game itself is in full screen mode and not windowed?

You're kidding me... Gah. There have been so many moments where I wanted a screen shot so bad. I've tried pressing print screen but, I don't get a confirmation of anything that it's been taken.

It really does, though, I have to wonder why they don't have the clouds moving...

Really? When I do it in Skyrim in the top left corner it says "Screenshot_XXX.bmp saved" or something like that for a split second. You just have to find it in the skyrim directory in the steam folder.

also check the .ini and enable screenshots, you used to have to do that on oblivion it might have turned itself off for whatever reason. But otherwise the screenshots will be in ProgramFiles/Steam/Steamapps/Common/Skyrim
