Christmas is the deadline.
You can ship gifts before then.

I ordered my gift immediately after being getting my name, if they want to open it early that's their prerogative, I only hope they enjoy what I got them.
I was gifted it digitally so leaving it on the "digital shelf" like the rest of my games felt contrary to the holiday spirit.

Can I ask what game it is?

I don't really mind it in first person, but 3rd person is god awful in skyrim, needs to play like Dark Souls in 3rd Person.
But then again TES has always primarily been a first person series.

I don't know much about the systems in USFIV, but I think I'll join. When does it start?
but then you'd have to change the first person gameplay to dark souls too.

When it comes down to it, it's the main reason I disliked Skyrim. Any other type of depth it has is outshined by New Vegas', since it plays better and has good writing.

No you wouldn't, by playing like Dark Souls I mean add lock-on targeting that lets you auto circle around, change the camera angle to not be so high up and weird, done.
Wouldn't need to change first person at all, you don't need to lock on an enemy in first person.

Alright thanks!
The it's the limpest shit. All you do is swing your weapon in front of you repeatedly until you or the other thing dies. There is very little depth there. It's why I love Fallout because nearly every gun is at least somewhat different.

I'm a crazy person who likes the combat in witcher 2
The second game has better combat but I still think TES has better combat than the first one though
It's a massive improvement to the first one at least.

weapons in TES dont feel like they have much of an impact(Skyrim anyways)
I think it's fine, there is always room for improvement but it's quite an aggressive over exaggeration to call it the limpest shit. My biggest gripe with the combat is the fact there's no hand to hand skill in TES anymore, because those finishing moves with your fists are rad as shit, but unless you wear unarmed damage buffing gear, they aren't amazingly useful.
I enjoyed both Skyrim and Fallout about the same, frankly.

I don't think I'm exaggerating at all, there are very few games I have played that have worse melee combat.
New unlisted episode of Plagues Dark Souls

Same. They serve their own purposes.
People easily forget how dog shit combat in Oblivion is by comparison. But then again, just about everything in vanilla Oblivion is dog shit by comparison.
I wonder why it was unlisted.. huh..

Oh yeah I've seen this in my recommended. So it actually has a story mode? It seemed like a Bloody Palace based thing
I'm talking about all Elder scrolls games, not just Skyrim.
Eh he probably has it scheduled to publish later. Youtubers upload videos early sometimes just in case something happens.
That makes sense if that is the case. He probably planned to list it later.

Yay! Papa Plague!
Oh I know you don't think you are.
I agree it could be improved on, but in a series like TES don't really know how much more in depth you could want first person combat to be, you can swing in different styles, stagger enemies, knock them down, bash them in the face with shields, kill them with different finishing movies, assassinate people, different weapon types do different kinds of hits and so on, then you have all the magic stuff.
Aside from the natural progression of making things more detailed through later releases, I don't really know how much more one could want, animations are probably the biggest issue I can think of, but if you play Dark souls in first person with a mod, you're still just swinging a weapon until a thing dies.
Except the Dark Brotherhood, which was fantastic. (I miss attributes though)

Dangit Joe, and that is pretty dang cool
Plague's good at this game lol
I hear those Lara croft games are pretty good

It's both. The story is conveyed through cutscenes between waves of mooks
The different finishing moves are nothing, they're just different animations for an instant kill, nothing special there. The different weapon types change almost nothing, you swing a mace the exact same way you swing an axe or sword which is dumb, the only thing that changes is the animation speed and damage output. Swinging an Iron sword feels exactly the same as swinging a Deadric mace. It's bad.
Some of the late game magic is pretty varied I'll admit but it usually boils down to spray or bolt with different elements.
ResiEvil 5/6.
