You could turn that off in New Vegas, and I believe in Fallout 3, as well, so I'd be surprised if it were unchangeable in Skyrim. Surprised but still could be.

Seriously? My GS was completely devoid of life and its a pretty popular store. Most of the buyers picked it up at midnight.

Have first two playthroughs planned.
Heavy armor-one handed-restoration magic Imperial soldier of greatness to put the locals back in line, and Norse two handed/destruction/derVjiking.
Trailers may have swayed me from my standard ImperialAwesomeOrBust general plan (I am not as stalwart as Solo, I guess,) but will likely alternate between the two before I figure out which to focus on first.

Thanks bootaaay and PONGSTAR. Definitely helpful! Can't believe I didn't Google a wiki. -_-

Is it possible/worth the risk to bypass the release date by using an Australian proxy?

Yeah, the framerate is fine for the most part, although it has dipped noticeably on a few rather hectic occasions (either with lots of mages all using their abilities at the same time, or multiple dragons on screen). There's a slight stuttering on the soft shadows when you move, which can be a bit distracting, but it's nothing major. Also, there's some occasional ground texture pop-in, but it's not very frequent, and the grass & foliage draw distance isn't very far, which unfortunately makes the repeating ground textures quite noticeable if looking out over a wide area from up above. I've had one crash in 44 hours of play, so it definitely seems more stable than other Bethesda PS3 ports.
Here's a few random screens;

Huh, looks like I'll need to update a part of the OT's "story section"... Not really a spoiler, but...
What do you guys think? Should I update the thread with this, or leave it as a neat little tidbit to be discovered?
Apparently, the Thalmor and the Empire were at war a few years before the game started. They called it "The Great War", even. It ended when the Thalmor and the Empire signed a treaty. One of the conditions was that the Empire bans all worship of Talos.

What/who are the Thalmor? Is it a general term for the elves? Talos is the main Imperial god, right? That's sounds pretty serious.

Whats the day one patch for?

Apparently the Thalmor is the government of the Bosmer of Valenwood. After the collapse of the empire following Oblivion, they reunited with Summerset Isle as well, restoring the old Aldmeri Dominion. After Titus Mede took over the empire through conquest, he tried to take back the Admeri Dominion, but was unable to and the war ended in a peace treaty.

The Thalmor are a faction that arose in Valenwood. They're pretty much fanatic Elves, and the governing body in Valenwood (and apparently the Summerset Isle, too). They wanted to wipe mankind from Tamriel to return to the Merethic Era, in which Time did not exist and the Elves were immortal.
Talos is Tiber Septim, who ascended to godhood after his death. He conquered the Elves, so they probably resent that, which is why they wanted his worship banned.

Oh, and somebody asked for the Fists of Steel-perk? It's in.

Still enjoying it so far, I've got a ton of quests unfinished (25 at the moment) and there's still a few large chunks of the land I've yet to explore, so I'm hoping my enjoyment continues on for a good while yet. There's just so much to see and do and I've barely touched the main quests or the faction storylines yet, simply because you pick up so many quests from talking to random NPCs.

I've yet to try this myself, as I bought my first house pretty early on so haven't had to worry about storage.

I know dude, especially Bethesda ones. I was just asking to see if it was regarding anything specific.

Equip the hunting rifle and profit. I used the hunting rifle 90% of my time in FO3 and in New Vegas i use Cowbow Repeater most of my time, which is quite similar in practice, plentiful ammo, good damage, abudant so repairs are easy.
And i didn't bother with VATS.
