Skyrim - The Elder Scrolls 5

[ilpiantissimo]

Even if that's the case, I will use those hours to pump myself up as much as physically possible

Just wash up afterwards, mmkay?

Will do

 

[ohhhBigMalcho]

got it today (modified xbox) and played for 2 hours or so, plays very much like fallout. i went khajit, bit of a cool cat, can someone tell em what perks i should look to upgrade for him/ what suits his abilties?

 

[pantskyle]

It will likely break today as that is what most of the stores are saying. They are just waiting for the first store to do it and take the $300'000 fine.

Oh and the game kicks ass so buy it.

IIRC from Oblivion, Khajiit are good at sneaking, and use blades well. Also light armor over heavy armor.
Not sure about perks, since they only got put in, in this game.

edit: forgot to add that they had a night eye ability, so they could see in the dark.

I thinking about being a Khajiit in this game they look cool. Usually I play as a dark elf. My last run through was the GOTY edition on PS3 and I was a normal elf and only realised after the last chance to change that he was a ****ing midget.

I played a Dark Elf on my first run through, and I didn't like it, and since then I haven't gone any sort of Elf.
Really not sure what I will be in this. Started thinking today maybe a redguard. But who knows.
The next few hours are going to be painful.

Really looking forward to reading a review of the game today but I'm guessing the embargo on the reviews is in US time.

 

[Shaxx Attaxx]

Heard when the reviews are meant to be up?

 

[Igloo]

Just called EB games and the guy said it is unlikely it will break today
He also said there is a possibility, but he was leaning more towards not.

Sad, sad day for humanity.

 

[pantskyle]

Just sad, I just want to hold her.

 

[Igloo]

Just sad, I just want to hold her.

and maybe whisper sweet nothings to her. Is that so much to ask?!?!

 

[MF]

I just heard it was the 10th. I doubt that means the 10th in Australia though so we'll be waiting another 7 hours or so at least I think.

Ah well, at least we're one of the first countries to get to play it.

 

[biggiemediums]

There's a sneaky rumour that Harvey Norman will break street date, they were the first for Arkham City and BF3, will update if it's the case.

 

[pantskyle]

The photo I posted earlier was Harveys. Break ****ers take the fine.

 

[Sunny_]

The fine for breaking is 300k? Wow. That's way more than I thought!

 

[biggiemediums]

By the way can anyone please let us know if somewhere does break? I'd like to get a heads up to know if i have to leave work to "pick my little sister up from school early".

@EBGamesAus We're monitoring the situation, no official word yet. You'll find out here first though! #dovahkiin

Something I just read about Skyrim which sounds great is that the game will randomly generate quests after the main story and other scripted quests like dark brotherhood etc... Have been completed..
Meaning the game can literally go forever!!

 

[BigPootie]

How does it generate quests?

Also just read that. Sounds god damn awesome.

BigPootie, this is where it came from.

So it is programmed to just create random smaller quests, which is cool.

 

[Rowdoss]

Dunno details mate, there is an article on IGN but I think they are just small quest like steal an item from someone and assassinate an npc and that sort of thing.. Still pretty cool IMO...
Edit... Too late!!

Never played an Elder Scrolls game but this looks awesome what do you do?

In a word, everything. Just don't steal forks, or you will go to jail.

I put a more detailed description (although still rough and only quickly typed) a couple of pages back for someone who asked the same question. If you buy this, there is a 0% chance of you being disappointed.

You do as your heart desires! You essentially have unlimited freedom. The big appeal with TES games is the choice. There is a main quest, which is about 30 hours, and the rest of the content tallies up to at least 300 hours (according to bethesda).
