I left it loading for half an hour, still nothing. And then the another one, and another one. Then another tip showed up to replace the previous one. The loading screen greeted me with the 3D rendering of a Dunmer assassin with a few tips in the bottom-right corner of the screen. I was leaving the Jarl's castle into the Whiterun. All fine, no bugs (except a few funny ones, not anything game-breaking). So far, I've been running the game all maxed out, including AA, AF etc.
