[GRLUG] WINE and Elder Scrolls

[Steve Romanow]

That is very true.  The trap I fell into, which probably has an easy
solution was moving to new geo locations too early.  I would hoof it
forever to go after a quest I just received to find that I am only half the
level necessary.  I wish there was a relative difficulty marker of some
sort.  I too like the graphics, and will probably pick it up again.

I've been playing a lot of Battlefield3 lately.
