Bleh. Keep Gothic/Risen in Gothic/Risen. I like both Elder Scrolls and Gothic for different reasons.

You are awesome. Been hearing Gothic vs. TES since people were comparing G2 to Morrowind and I've always felt they should be seperated...and besides, more than one open world WRPG makes the world a better place. That's why I tolerate Two Worlds. :p

Yeah. The last official Pocket Guide was the third edition, and that came with the Oblivion Collector's Edition.

Ok. Thanks. I googled for fourth edition and found links for third edition so I thought there is official 4th edition. Nice work, Blue Ninja.

I've avoided getting excited for this game after the massive disappointment I had with Oblivion. But I'm starting to get that tingling feeling in my toes. I might be getting pumped. They can't possibly fuck up twice.

Great OT!

There was this one time when I was doubting if this game would be good or not, but then I realized that the sum of all prior seconds in my life were leading up to this particular moment in time. Every game I've played has thrown at me the factor of falseness and made me realize that life is superior to any sort of computer game. However, a game with Skyrim's nature has the potential and the honor to plunge my mind into a schizophrenic rage and cause me to lose all grips on reality. From the second I boot up the game I know that all prior reality that my mind had previously struggled to grasp will vanish entirely and my mind's conscious will be sewn into the game's hardware like a strict program.

Once I see the words of Skyrim across my screen my eyes shall weld themselves to the glass of my screen, like a hilt being welding to a sword. With Skyrim as my weapon I shall release all attachments to the world I previously know and place myself directly into the deadly path of internal existence. Food and water will be unessential in a life that lacks life - a life of Skyrim. No longer will breathing be a contemplation...the second I turn the game on my life shall fade to blackness while glowing brighter than ever before. Skyrim is my end and my beginning, my creation and my destruction, my God and my Satan, my potential and my failure. Skyrim will summon my banishment.

A man of the north would imply that my body and thought belong to a particular geographical location. With the release of my being my position on this planet is irrelevant. Any and all sight and sense of my presence will disappear from the minds of all those I have contacted. At the same time, however, everyone on Earth will know my name and weep at the thought of it. I will be mourned for existing - the ultimate paradox.

Wulf doesn't craft swords from ribs, he just looks at a bunch of steel angrily, and it forms into a blade on its own.

It looks like a rock from an Unreal Engine title without it's textures fully loaded. More crevasses , blood, logo, dragon claw marks, would have improved it.

[EDIT: Even blood like Blue Ninja suggested.]

I wonder if there's still the possibility of co-op being a super secret feature they've yet to announce.

I've wanted that since Oblivion.

I wouldn't mind a bit of Borderlands in my Elder Scrolls, but if so I would want it:

a) a spinoff and not a true sequel
b) have dungeons that require two players with puzzles



Hell, actually just have Gearbox do a Borderlands reskin in a fantasy universe and make it an Elder Scrolls side story.

I know you're groaning, but it would be fun.

That opens up a huge can of worms. Here we go...

My official statement: Time/resources spent on co-op are time/resources not spent on the single-player open world. TES fans tend to believe that the two features can't fairly coexist without detracting from eachother in some way.
