Skyrim - The Elder Scrolls 5

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

Should I play Oblivion or wait for Skyrim for my first Elder Scrolls experience?

Definitly play Oblivion, great game!

Did anyone make a spell after entering the Arcane University with an area of effect Frenzy + Rally spell? Use to have a laugh walking into the pub in the evening and casting it on the patrons inside. All out brawl until the guards come in and kill everyone! Essential characters (ones that faint rather than die) physics would bug out when the guards kill them and used to fly off about 50 meters from the guards last hit, pretty funny to see some dude fly off into a tree or a river.


Can't wait for Skyrim, will probably have to get a new PC though. Looks damn good!

Get Oblivion.

But you may not have time to finish it before Skyrim

Should put Skyrim somewhere in the thread title.

Can't wait for this game, here is another great interview with the man, Todd Howard.

I still get quivers listening to that main Morrowind theme music.

Elder Scrolls usually does good music, but that Morrowind theme is easily the best in my opinion. Outstanding.

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

I loved playing Fallout 3 and hearing the Oblivion music. Was awesome.

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

Luckily enough for me, this game is released right as uni finishes for the year. So from release day onwards i'll be free to play 24/7. Literally.

Collectors Edition has been announced.

Disappointed with it, especially for the price of $198.

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

Geez, that is so over-priced. Surely it couldn't be $200. I would expect a soundtrack, a real set of chainmail and a living, breathing mudcrab for that price.

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

The previous Collectors edition that I posted is apparently sold out. Heres another edition which is a lot more reasonable from EB for $108 ($88 for PC) which I beleive is also the cost the they have been selling the standard edition for. Although I can't find that mentioned on the website now.

http://www.ebgames.com.au/xbox360-1...-V-Skyrim-Exclusive-EB-Games-Edition-Xbox-360

Contents includes:
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Game
Skyrim Steelbook
100 Page A5 Skyrim Debossed Notebook
Premium Physical Map
4 Collectable Art Cards

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

The reason the Std edition is not mentioned is because that CE takes over from it, as its the same price we were doing the Std game for

EB Games exclusive means you cant price match it on release and still get the bonuses.

But for the standard edition you can get game+bonus map and price match it on release.

Bout a $20-$30 difference since you can price match one but not the other.

JB are giving Physical Map + Official strategy guide AND they are usually cheapest on release right?

Think I might need to move my pre-order from EB to JB.

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

I was going to preorder this but that shit sucks. Where are the DLC's

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

Played Oblivion for a while. I loved the open world but it was unfortunately a bit too generic and repetitive. Hopefully now with a map that's the same size but much more variety it will be more fun

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

character models look so much better

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

^ Big difference. Can't wait for this one

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

Looks good. I hope the Dark Elves have a better look not liking it too much from that screen, if not then I reckon I will be the Tiger.

Personally love the look of everything so far, much darker and true to the lore.

That being said, apparently the amount of customization is incredible, and the characters created here by the testers are probably on the extreme side.
