Thanks, Gnollguy. I will definitely check that out. I am still running xp, so I need to make sure it either has native support or software is readily available. Man, I haven't messed with a controller since Mario2 and Goldeneye days.
As to Skyrim, I agree with some of the earlier comments to the effect that the game is simply dull. I have done very few sidequests that I did not regret accepting. It is to the point that if I do bother to talk to some random NPC, I think I will stop offering to "help". I wish I had never talked with some priestess in Whiterun who wanted to revive the elder tree there. A pure PITA quest with no reward. I thought my character would never escape the spriggins who spawned toward the end of the quest. As in Oblivion they regenerate health rapidly and drop nothing worthwhile. The main quest seems mildly interesting so I may just continue with that if I continue at all. This is unlike Oblivion where you could spend hours on various sidequests without ever completing the main quest.
