Is there any way to pace my investment in this game? Like 1 hour a day? Or will it almost definitely suck me in (I'm pretty addictive with games)? I've never played MW or Oblivion.

You'll need a spotter during your gaming sessions.

Not really an option. Shitty. Hopefully this game just gets terrible reviews so I'm not tempted. :)

I suggest you start clearing that social calender if Skyrim being nominated for GOTY at the VGA is anything to go by ;)

Going to have to send this to my girlfriend. Even though the little thing shit at the foot of the bed on her birthday, she still loves her.

This went from not even on my radar to highly interested.

If I've never invested time in an Elder Scrolls game will I be ok jumping in on this one? Also, have they said anything about the combat mechanic? I tried Oblivion a little on the PS3 but the combat made me want to put it away.

Nice OT. I didn't know the little part about the Stormcloaks and the Imperials. It looks like it won't be Oblivion's "good vs evil," but it'll have some sort of moral complexity to it. That was my favorite part of new Vegas, the uncertainty of whether or not the faction your are helping out is the 'right' faction.

7 more days o_O

The entire soundtrack is goddamn amazing. Jeremy Soule is a god, and he deserves our money.

Can't wait 'till I have this bad boy sitting on my shelf, too. The CE may be too expensive, but I'll just make my own. Still wish I could've gotten a steelbook, though. :(

Just read this on the wiki:

Players may choose to disable the HUD display including quest markers and the compass.

I hope it's true.

Yep you'll be fine jumping into this. There will be references to previous titles but nothing that will stop you from enjoying Skyrim.

The combat has been improved but its not -vastly- improved. You're probably going to want to check out some gameplay footage first to see if you're ok with it.

Yeah that was great in New Vegas the fact that all the main factions were just varying shades of grey.

I finally see a couple of rips have appeared on YT to at least listen to a couple of them. Boss Battle, Ice Dungeon, Unbound. The Stormcloaks....all right I'm not listening to any more, it's making the wait worse not better.

I have trouble playing role-playing games where the main protagonist isn't named Fogo Dandilux.

Awesome, thanks for the fast reply. The world alone may drag me into this although the soundtrack is most definitely helping out.

I'm not sure about AusGAF, but for KiwiGAF if you purchase the game from JB Hifi you get the Official Prima Strategy Guide and Cloth Map for free. JB Hifi Exclusive.
