Surprised there wasn't a thread about this already.


Am I the only one excited about this game. Release 11/11/11.

Would've posted an article, but I'm at work Websense is blocking most of the sites that have articles on it.

 

If it has gameplay similar to IV, definitively pass.

If similar to Fallout 3, then I'd be in.

 

Big fan of the Elder Scrolls series, I remember buying Arena (thats volume I) in 1994.

 

I absolutely loved Oblivion and I can't wait for this!

 

What do you not like about IV?

 

I didn't get started until Morrowind came out. Loved every bit of it though.

 

I liked it, but the leveling up/character development sucked compared to the previous games in the series.

 

Toughness of enemies, especially at first. You get killed by just about anything.

 

Yep, AND you got killed more as you leveled up. If it wasnt for the leveling structure, I would have played the game more. As it stood, every level increase was stressful

 

weird

my friend played oblivion religiously and his character NEVER seemed to get killed.

he said it was almost too easy for him...

 

I loved oblivion and I can't wait for Skyrim.

 

I wonder what their character was for them not to get killed. I played about five hours, then went back and restarted and it was hard as shit. I really like the concept of both Morrowwind and Oblivion, but getting killed every two minutes killed it.

As it is, I won't have time to go back and play it before this comes out. As always, November is going to be tough on the wallet.

 

i want to get this, dont play games much but i enjoy these

 

You could adjust the difficulty slider in both. If you having trouble with a seciton slide the difficulty down and if you're destroying faces bump the difficulty up.

 

Yeah, didn't work.

 

Hmm I never had a problem with dying too easily.

 

Me either...

 

Difficulty slider > *

Has anyone gotten the pre order bonus? it's supposed to be a map of the Elder Scrolls world made out of something resembling leather?

 

I'll start by saying, Oblivion was a game that changed games for me. I wasn't keen on the whole "magical" & "fantasy" BS, but this game sucked me in. Unlike most games, its a completely evolving masterpiece that unfolds to however you play it.

Don't like spells and magic...don't use it.

The sheer size and way the game pans out is astonishing. Its almost like playing real life, as wierd as that sounds. I was watching some Skyrim videos the other day, and it was almost haunting. The ambient noises and music alone make me want to play it for hours...

Anyway....

"Preparing for a new Elder Scrolls game is like preparing to die. One must ensure they get all their worldly affairs in order, speak with the people who mean everything to them, and have a final meal. After all, once that disc goes in, the user may as well have departed from our mortal world. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a game that will murder you, for the time it steals from your life could rightfully be considered criminal. It is a game that will literally never end while simultaneously bringing you closer to your own end.

This is all before the dragons show up." - Game Informer


^^ Completely true statement. This will be my winter game. I would suggest that some of you should try it if you haven't.

 

ef.

Classic Elder Scrolls....

I'm watching though most of the video above and at one point there is a puzzle on a door. To solve the puzzle you have to match up symbols on a revolving key. They pattern is found by killing an enemy previously, searching him, stealing a "claw" and then closely inspecting the claw in your inventory.

 

Don't suppose there are any deals on this anywhere today?

 

Doubt it. It may not be sold out though.

 

Got a $10 GC at Target. Good enough.

Going to crack it open in a few hours.

 

I played Oblivion for a while but got bored of it. In sandbox-style games where you're free to do whatever you want I usually do all or most of the side quests first then finish the main story (GTA, Elder Scrolls, Mass Effect, etc.) but eventually I got bored of it and started pissing off the guards in towns. Couldn't take them on my own so I'd just run into my guild house and watch the guildies defend me


anyway, I'm still thinking of picking this up. BF3 is taking up a huge chunk of my free time but the game looks so interesting

 

Good fucking almighty Christ, this game is straight gorgeous.

 

I love it so far. Much better to start than Oblivion.

 

What are you playing on? My PC was super fast for Oblivion but now it has a somewhat outdated CPU (Q6600). Just wondering how this game will run.

 

I am in the same boat. Between Arkham Asylum, BF3, reading and school I'm already spread pretty thin. However, I still want this game. I think I'm gonna hold off for a "game of the year" edition.

 

Downloaded this game via steam, and played a few hours. So far, graphics are superb, and I really like the stream-lined leveling system.

 

Level 29...

 

What the fuck, I'm still less than 10 lol. I'm about to head to the mage college, I think I'm pretty underleveled.

 

WTF. I'm on 8.

 

 

I want this game. Whats everyones take on it?

 

Be prepared to spend hundreds of hours in it. You can play in so many different ways.

You can go around and hack at things with a sword, use magic spells, snipe at unsuspecting people with a bow and arrow, pickpocket, break into houses, join the military or join the rebellion. YOU can be a decisive factor in the world, if you wish. The game is all about your decisions.

 

Love this game. Dragons are a bitch.
