simply because there's so much damn stuff to do, and not just in terms of the abundance of quests you receive. Spent way too much time collecting ingredients, hunting animals, crafting items to make armour and weapons, cooking food, making potions, chopping wood, mining ore, etc.

Hey Bootaaay, sorry to continue bombarding you with questions, but did you say earlier you're using archery (or am I making that up)? If so, how is it? Viable as a main form of combat?

Archery definitely looks awesome in the videos to me... the sound design when shooting from stealth in particular is brilliant...
you can audibly hear the character holding his/her breath for stability, then exhaling when you shoot
.

EDIT: Wow thanks for the quick response(s). This OT is going to be huge.

Either in actual mines, or you sometimes find random veins of ore when exploring mountainous areas.

Yeah, I'm using archery and it's been pretty damn handy so far, especially when you get the perk that lets you zoom when aiming. I wouldn't solely like to use archery though, as there's been quite a few occasions that I've had to fall back to a sword & spell combo. Although hopefully once I've got a kickass bow and levelled up a bit, that won't be a problem.

Jesus fuck. God only knows what the equivalent one will look like for Skyrim one day.

do we have any official word on 360 controller support for the PC version?

This will weigh heavily on my option to choose the PC version.

So has anyone played the PS3 version?

Being that they haven't shown any actual ps3 footage, I'm concerned that there will be some real differences between the versions.

What time exactly (EST) is this game suppose to unlock on Steam?

If it's early I might ask for a personal day for Friday, I have a couple more for the year that I don't plan on using. If it doesn't unlock until 3 in the afternoon or some shit I'll just wait until I get home.

Read this thread. Bootaaay has it and talks about in the last 50 post or so.

Awesome. Yeah, I'll be mixing it up with other stuff, but glad to hear it's useful. Looks really cool in the gameplay I've seen.

There's only one EST! That's why there's an S?

If I'm wrong about this it will blow my mind.

Eastern Standard Time would complete depend on where you are located. Officially in Australian it is AEST, but we always drop the A, hence confusion for all.

Nope, based on region. So we get to play it Friday 12:01AM, AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE! :)

I'm aware of AEST; I'm referring to UTC -5 not UTC +10. Leave it to Australia to fuck everything up!

But yeah, it's region-based from what they've said. I know even in the US which covers four time zones, they are using 12 AM EST for the whole country, so on the west coast it'll unlock at 9 PM PST on the 10th.

Yeah, you can get arrows back from dead enemies, although like Oblivion you won't get all of them back (however, there is a perk that lets you get more than normal). And as for arrows being rare, I've never come close to running out (except after fighting a dragon), quite a few blacksmiths and random traders sell them.

So awesome!

I was totally bumed out that I couldn't roll a "ranger" type class. But then I totally forgot about the PERKS in this game.

My body has never been this ready.

Wow, Bootaay only level 13 with 23 hours played.

If the rumors are true (I think from the PC Gamer preview) that your character maxes out at level 70, then this might be the only RPG I'll need until 720/PS4 hits. lol

I have had a hard on since they announced it. Maybe I should see a doctor?

So it sounds like they borrowed the underground hideout mod sorting feature for their bookshelf.

They borrowed more than that, it's just that's the latest. I'm also totally cool with it, now it doesn't need to be modded in.

I don't think so, as you don't really choose a class. You just kind of become what you do.

Most people won't reach the hardcap because to do so would require you to grind skills that you would normally not use, unless you plan on utilizing all 18 skills.
