I'm going to just pretend they were hired to transport/steal/whatever the items back to some rich guy, and you're there to "relieve" them of the burden of carrying such expensive gear.

Damn, I thought I had finally decided on being a Bosmer ranger/assassin, but now I'm starting to really reconsider a Dunmer one-handed + Destruction magic character, because the dual wielding looks pretty awesome.

I really need to make up my mind by Friday. Good news is I think I've narrowed it down to these 2 from the 5 that I was debating on yesterday, lol.

Got my copy! It's right beside me atm. Sitting in a McDonalds waiting for my GF to finish her classes so we can go home together. :lol

Some douchebag beside me bought the CE. Thought about mugging hem, but then I thought: "what would Wulf do?"

I killed him, vanquished his Alduin statue, drank his blood, and then woke up from my rush still artbook-less. :(

I hate you.

Enjoy the game!
Only 2 and a half more days...

Clearly they belong to their bandit leader. He doesn't take too kindly to his subordinates even looking in his chest.

Apparently K-Mart is selling early (yet again, they are on a roll) YMMV obviously, i knew that some were (and i assume everyone here knew) but wasn't sure till i saw an ad on craigslist pop up "Skyrim early! $150" so like the asshole i am i post on craigslist where to buy it, hate price gouging pricks.

I called to make sure (friend works in electronics) going to pick it up in a bit.

People are saying the registers are locked on selling it.

We just got a shitload of snow here, and I've got my copy waiting at an EB two hours' drive away. They're doing a midnight launch so I hope the roads are good.

Question, Bosmer or Khajiit for a Stealth & Archery focused Thief type?

Khajiit from personal experience. Thats the exact build Ill be using and the one I used during my playthroughs of Oblivion. So much fun.

Welp just a matter of if I'm going to take Friday off work to play this. I'm meeting up with some friends I haven't seen in forever. Most likely I won't get to play until Sunday if I don't take Friday off...

It doesn't matter what race you pick, but personally I'd choose Wood Elf because of the 50% resistance to poisons and disease.

That two hour drive back from EB will probably be one of the longest rides of your life ;b

Anyone have a chance to take anymore screens of Argonians? I was hoping with so many people having the game now that there would be atleast a few new shots floating around. Seems most people are just slummin it with dirty little knife ears though.

If I want to do a magic/archery based character with light melee here and there, what race should I consider? I hate asking stuff like that, but I haven't really followed and read enough to know what sort of "optimal race/class combos" exist. :)

Hey guys, can you help me decide if i should get the game? I've never played a Bethesda RPG before but the trailers have gotten me all hyped upped. Still i'm kinda worried about how difficult it is to get into TES and if the mainquest ist beefy enough. I like RPGs that have somekind of hero story... it doesnt even have to be a particularly good one (see DA2), just like something that tells me to some degree what to do next. I like epic RPGs and the world certainly seems epic (i mean thats a given with dragons) but do you think the story will hold up?

I know i could wait for the reviews but i dont wanna get spoiled and i'm just asking to get somekind of a general feel for a Bethesda RPG.

You should really just consider what ever race you like! I mean, sure to start out some will be better suited for certain roles than others. In the long run though, those bonuses mean very little.

How are the voices? In the few clips I've seen with dialogue I'm not too sure of the American accents. For some reason they always sound jarring in fantasy based games and films for that matter. What do Orcs sound like? I remember in Oblivion the female Orcs really didn't sound right at all.
Oh, and one more thing, with regards to animation. I'm sure it's much improved and as long as male and female characters have their own walking animation I'll be happy! In Oblivion everyone walked like women, even the Orcs!

This happened quite a lot in Morrowind (not that specific item but in general). Bandits don't seem to be very smart in Tamriel outside of Cyrodiil.

That's pretty much what I'm playing with my Wood Elf - single-handed weapons, archery, plus destruction & restoration magic. Has worked pretty damn well so far (currently level 19).

What about it? I've been posting impressions of the PS3 version in here since Saturday.

I really do not understand why they had to wait till friday to release this, why would they not just release it on Tuesday like every other major release? The wait is killing me here. Atleast I can go pick it up at midnight on Thursday.

I would think they audiences for this and something like COD would be different enough that Beth would not have alot to worry about.

It's 11.11.11 bro. Too big of a date to pass up. Plus to get it out of the way of the national holiday of CoD probably.

I can't wait for the first time a dragon just swoops downfrom nowhere and kills me with having a chance to defend myself. I think any other game and I would rage but I'm just waiting for it in Skyrim.

Someone explained it to me that when you have a game so big and anticipated that you can just set your own day just for your game, you DO IT! Seems about rights. It's to spearate and distinguish Skyrim from every other game in a packed holiday.

So has there been any damn comparisons between the PS3 and 360?

I have no idea which to get. I want the 360 one for controls, but I got shitty VGA cables and have a bit of ghosting (cant do HDMI... gots me an old 360). I can do PS3 with nice HDMI but not sure if I'll like the controls and whatnot...

They probably figured the 11-11-11 release date was cool and would be memorable along with the fact that they most likely did it in order to give everyone the weekend to enjoy it rather than having interrupted game time during the work week.

Well, that sucks. :(

Still, I'm going 100% mage (no weapons) so the game better not cripple me for doing so. I expect to be a bad-ass wizard blowing people away with ease after 80 hours.

No preload for this on Steam, right? I haven't pre-ordered it yet.

Dude. You do NOT want to go to a game store today. Seriously, it's not even a same crowd thing. It's a 'holy shit they're so busy' thing.
