Just an FYI here, you know you can also simply press your Print screen button on your keyboard and the screenshot will be saved under something like this "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim". Perhaps it's easier to keep your images on steam instead? I don't know
Anyways here is my picture, shame it doesn't show the full potential and nice graphics of the game but oh well it's just a poor image anyways
Edit: Give me a second to fix this stupid image...
"You are not allowed to use that image extension on this board."
Edit2: Well I have to say it's much easier to save the images on steam using the F12 button. Also it looks like the quality is actually better that way, I'm gonna upload another image with no helmet on this time
Edit3: Oh and yeah, I'm an imperial (I had to be because I loved Oblivion so much and it feels wrong for me to pick another race) and I'm currently level 20.
If I were to rate this game I would honestly give it 10/10 or 100/100. Sure there are some bugs and things you can get a bit angry with but the game has just been released and I'm positive that most of the annoying bugs will be ironed out sooner or later.
Oblivion I'd give the same rating, sure you could say that Oblivion was not as good of a game but in 2006 I think it was, that's why I also bought the game twice for PC (I lost one of the copies somewhere...) and once on Xbox 360 (don't hate me for using console)
Looking good! Our characters look very similar actually, the face that is.
And yeah, steam F12 screenshot is nice! The only "problem" being that they don't give you the real image url so you can't embed it. It's not a biggie though. The ability to have all your screenshots organized in a folder easily accessible from Steam and also being able to quickly upload that to your steam cloud server is very nice imo :)!
I had trouble with this, too, but I figured it out!
Go to My Documents/My Games/Skyrim and in it, you should see Saves folder, RendererInfo , Skyrim and SkyrimPrefs. Open Skyrim file using Note Pad (it should open it on default with it) and on the top, you will see this:
[Display]
sD3DDevice="Your graphic card model"
Under that, just add bAllowScreenshot=1, and it's all set up! Use Print Screen to take screenshots. Enjoy!
I was super excited when I saw someone might know how to help me! I went to my "C:\Users\MYUSERNAME\Documents\My Games\Skyrim\Saves" but in the folder I don't have any RendererInfo, Skyrim and SkyrimPrefs files.
I have 7 items in the folder;
autosave1
autosave1.ess.bak
autosave2
autosave2.ess.bak
autosave3
autosave3.ess.bak
Save NUMBER - CHARACTERNAME Skyrim 46.02.27
That's it... Whenever I try an open any of these files (with Notepad) it results in my Notepad going "Not Responding" and sitting like that.

I'm asking on behalf of my friend, who doesn't have a "Steam Version" (if you know what I mean). Print Screen is worthless for him, it does nothing.

I think he means outside the saves folder... as in, in the folder where the saves folder is at. That would be C:\Users\MYUSERNAME\Documents\My Games\Skyrim\. In the folder Skyrim, there should be a file named Skyrim, which you need to edit
EDIT: Personally, I didn't find it. I don't have an original copy though, maybe that's why.
My latest looks. Still using the same Daedric War Axes that I smithed... and now (again) with a full Daedric Armor Set. I think I'm lvl45 right now (something like that...). And yeah... still didnt finish Diplomatic Immunity from the main questline xD been questing around some towns and if I'm not doing that I run around the map to find things... oh and I hunt Daedric Artifacts... I have uhm 13? up till now.

Yes, it is the file outside the Saves folder! It has nothing to do with the game being original or not, it's an .ini file that simply must exist! It has to look like this:
Ah okay, found the file where you said & edited it as well. Now I must ask though, where are my screen shots going? When I hit print screen I still can't hit paste in Photoshop (there's nothing to paste).
Finally figured out how to do action shots, I think this one turned out well (even though I sacrificed a fourth of my health potion supply for it [was worth it])

That looks awesome! Wish I could take screen shots, but no one ever finished helping me figure out how.
I hate how the best craftable armor looks so evil. It doesn't suit my templar-ish battlemage at all. Plus, it has claws... wtf? I'm fine with my dragon armor, anyways. Except for the helm, the helm doesn'r match the rest of the armor at all. Good thing I play in 1st person mode, the gloves do look good.

Correction, best craftable is Dragons Armor, Daedric is second best. And both look beast.
Not really. Dragon armor requires 100 smithing, and Daedric requires 90, but the Daedric is still better than the Heavy Dragon armor. It has a higher armor value, go check it yourself. I found it weird too.
I use Fraps free version. F10.

While Oblivion was a great game its so much more fun exploring in Skyrim. The world is so amazing and varied its like art.
Looking swag and evil
I guess there's an artifact for each Deadric Prince? I've only found the Wabbajack and Malrog Bal's mace so far.
I'm curious about the dragon priest's masks though... (no spoilers please).

Armor is Thieves Guild armor and I'm still using it, looks too damn sexy haha.

Here: Dragon's Armor, read the "Versus Daedra" section.
