Does anyone know?, Misc how-to's Options

[ghastley]

I wanted to give my latest character a name containing a non-keyboard symbol - ñ - which I can type in most contexts using ALT+164 (on the numeric keypad) but doing that in Skyrim character generation gets me "164" as it ignores the ALT key.

Anyone know how to create a name using non-keyboard characters?

Made a nice discovery (for me) today. Ever since day one, I have been unhappy that the game starts every single session with the player defaulted to always run. So for my entire 1000 hours playing Skyrim, my first action when opening every session has been to tap the autorun key so Buffy walks. I asked on one of the threads here (not this one) about defaulting to walk instead of run on start up but no one seemed to know how to do that. I was perusing the ini files for some other purpose and quite by accident stumbled upon the solution. Buffy now opens every session autowalking instead of autorunning and I am a happy paladin!

In case anyone else is interested in applying this simple change so the player defaults to walk instead of run, here’s how:

Open Skyrim iniprefs. Under the [Controls] section, find this line:

bAlwaysRunByDefault=1

1=yes and 0=no in ini-speak, so I simply changed the 1 to a 0 and Buffy now starts up each session walking instead of running by default.

Awesome, thanks!
