Skyrim - The Elder Scrolls 5

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

Pre-ordered it today. I hope it is an awesome bonus pack with the pre-order. I wish they would hurry up and announce what it is. Probably only some shitty horse armour.

At EB games, if you pre-order before July 31st, you are a chance to win a 7 foot tall Dovahkiin

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

My fav game.

Absolutely awesome.

Like WOW with better atmosphere and graphics and no monthly fees.
Oh,the music is fantabulous too.

Hope the next one is good.

I'm sure it will be.

Probably the only game I will buy this year.

A bit over FPS and sports games lol.

Getting too old.

Oblivion is so relaxing and chills me out.

^^^^ This ^^^^ 100 This'.

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

I spent well over 100+ hours on Oblivion.

Same. I was utterly engrossed by it. Fond memories of playing for 4 hours, getting off, letting my girlfriend at the time play for 4 hours, rinse and repeat.
Imagine I'll put even more time in to this one.

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

Is this that much of a sequel to the other elder scrolls games?

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

I've got Oblivion GOTY for the PS3 that I've never played yet.

Will need to start playing that, the reviews I've heard about that game make it sound better than sex.

The game is starting to show it's age now but otherwise great fun. Say goodbye to a normal life.

None of them are really sequels. More games set in the same world and they are set after each other generally. So you get used to the lore and the general feel by playing previous games but honestly the are more or less standalone games.

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

aaah. seeing the skyrim gameplay is like coming home. 3rd person doesn't really look all that different, not that i used it much anyway. dual-wielding weapons makes me dual-jizz.

morrowind had the whole political + architectural thing and also more interesting animals, but people standing around in the same spot all day. maybe even a better storyline? ruined more than a few days on either of them.

please let there be crossbows again

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

Did anyone else not get sucked into Oblivion like they did with Morrowind? Probably only spent 4 hours on Oblivion where as on Morrowind I couldn't stop

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

I'm not an RPG fan. But i loved Oblivion.

I'm hoping Skyrim's even better. But i must say the setting is a lot more RPG-ish with the dragons etc.

Oblivion's setting made it very accessible for me as a traditional non-RPG gamer. It was standard European style fantasy, i could relate to it relatively well. Skyrim looks like a D&D nerd's wet dream though. I hope it doesn't put me off the gameplay.

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

Oblivion was my first Elder Scrolls game, and it sucked me in big-time. I would have spent well over 100 hours playing it. I watched the e3 video of Skyrim the other day and it looks absolutely brilliant. I'm gonna take the day off work for this one I reckon.

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

Just looking at this game it seems like a day wouldn't do much. How many sickies until your boss gets suspicious?

Well, as there's supposedly over 500 hours of gameplay that's just over 62 8-hour days at work.

Looks like you'd need to use 2 years of combined annual leave. Totally worth it though

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

Haha wow!! Ok I'm going to have to do some planning for this game. Schedule it in like I would a client

A great interview. Interesting discussion about Mods on console among other things.

 

[FGMPR]

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

That bloke is a superb interviewer. He actually asked questions that I wanted to hear answers to as opposed to just kissing Todd Howard's arse like pretty much every other interview on Skyrim I've seen. Howard actually looked like he appreciated it as well.

 

[Mkcaptain]

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

I agree completely, he actually knew what he was talking about and Todd seemed to respond well to that.

By far the best Skyrim interview I've seen.

He actually asked questions people wanted answers to and had done a bit of research.

Yeah Stephen knows his stuff. Enjoyed his stint when he editor of the N64 Gamer 10 years ago.

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

I love the sound of the quest system that should make every experience unique. Every time you play through the game you will be getting the same quest from different NPCs and going to different locations to complete them.

It's quite ingenious actually, how the game records everything you do.

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

Oh cannot wait!

Brings back so much fond memories and so many sleepless nights in front of a PC.

Does anybody have a PS3 version of Oblivion GOTY that they want to pass on? If so, please PM me. Will pay.

EB games have Oblivion GOTY for $25. I would pass mine on to you, but not quite done with it

I get the feeling that it will lead to some pretty humorous bugs.

There's a 5th anniversary re-release coming out on July 12 that includes:

Collector’s Steelbook: A beautiful collectible metal case masterfully embossed with Daedric symbols.
Making of Oblivion: A behind-the-scenes documentary on the making of Oblivion.
Oblivion Game Map: A full-color map of Cyrodiil and the Shivering Isles.
Save on Skyrim: Contains a $10 mail-in rebate offer for the purchase of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and a Skyrim strategy guide.

You may have to import it for now though, as I'm not sure if its arriving locally for a while longer.
