The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I do remember reading somewhere that like Morrowind if you left doors open in the game world the program has to continually remember this & as the game progressed the loading became longer & longer to the point of the fake error message to say the disk is dirty take it out & clean it.

With Skyrim i think there is no re-spawning of enemies so once you kill say a bear it stays there (do correct me if i am wrong) so would this also have to be remembered by the game (or if it disappears the same if that's it) ?

I would think re-spawning is a quick way of clearing necessarily data backing up/needing to be stored by the game?
Also the shops do not for long keep the stock you sold but have a bit better stock as you level up.

Would anyone agree?

From what I've seen, enemies do respawn. I have some areas that I cleared but when I visit them again after some time the enemies respawned.

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone here can help me out. I'm based in Singapore and am keen to obtain a Skyrim CE for the PC. I've finally found one shop here that sells the PC version (most others have the PS3 boxes). The really odd thing about it is that the shop staff said that the CE box does not contain the Skyrim game but instead it is provided to the shop separately. That is, the huge box has 'stuck' to it on the exterior the normal DVD gamebox (presumably containing the game disc and manual).

This got me a tad suspicious. I'd have expected that the game would be enclosed in the box somewhere, much like the various unboxing videos I've seen on youtube (but these were for xbox/ps3 boxes).

Can I check with those of you who have the PC Skyrim CE box:

1. Does your game disc come within the box?
2. Is this disc within the hard cardboard enclosure with the skyrim logo and contains the documentary DVD as well?

It may well be that the CE box, because it comes from the USA, may contain a game disc that isn't playable in Asia/Singapore, and hence a separate game is required and attached to the box. I'm not sure about this though.

Any help on this is greatly appreciated...! Many thanks!
