I'm not sure yet , the latest trailer was good, I need to watch more gameplay footage from actual gamers not from Bethesda themselves , so far so good.

did you like oblivion?

if yes then your going to love skyrim.

if no then your going to love skyrim.

That guy hates Oblivion lol. But he likes to post in Elder Scrolls threads.

You got that right.

If Steam sales count as the bargain bin, than probably. There are so many games I'm looking forward to besides this...Portal 2, Pikmin 3, Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword, Rock of Ages, The Grinder...Elder Scrolls would be an after thought.

I'm not sure if I'd like Elder Scrolls. Pokemon, Borderlands, and Monster Hunter are the only 'rpg' games I have liked. If it's anything like Final Fantasy, Fallout, or anything with linked hits, I'll most certainly pass.

Yeah, sales and Steam sales count as bargain bin.

Are you mainly a Nintendo player? You havent played Oblivion, right? Do you ever like open world games?

I've been a lifelong Nintendo fan, but recently I've embraced PC gaming. I have not played Olivion..or dragon age or witcher. For me open world games fall apart when the main gameplay mechanic is boring, dull, or not useful. I don't like Fallout, final fantasy, jrpg's, or any gta not named gta iv.  I love Just cause, gta iv, and Zelda.  Also, Witcher has shacking up dialogues...bad filler is bad. Ultimately if Oblivion has great gameplay and is constantly fun and exciting, maybe I'll hop on board. 

I'm not much of a story guy either...my rpg choices show it :) 

I'd say you have a decent chance of liking Oblivion and no doubt a great chance of liking Skyrim.

U can get Oblivion for like $10 so no big risk.

Do u have a good PC btw?

My video card is a ATI mobility HD Radeon 4500 with intel centrino 2...not a beefy PC, but a decent one.  I haven't been able to play crysis or splinter cell conviction, but most other games I can (according to systemsreq). Bethesda seems do a good job at allowing lower end PC's to play their games.

Going to get this for my PS3, but probably waiting for the bargain bin, Bethesda tends to give PS3 users delayed DLC anyway so no reason to rush out and get this, especially as I am already behind on many of the games I already have.

Only if it doesn't constantly freeze, bug out,  and slow down my Xbox like Oblivion did.

Played Oblivion for many hours on the pc (it wasn't on ps3 then) never did finish the main quest did a lot of side quests but eventually I got frustrated and stopped.  So I'm interested in Skyrim although a bit cautious.  However if I get it it will probably be on the ps3 one I like trophies and 2 although I'll miss the customization I won't be tempted to just cheat like it did with the pc.

I'll definitely buy it on PC at some point. Launch day? Perhaps. That depends on reviews.

Or whether I get to review it, I suppose.

I don't think I will be getting this...I would have liked a fantasy rpg like DA but bethesda games have rarely attracted me, I hated Fallout 3.

If I do get this, it will be probably for the PS3.

PC, most probably.

Probably, but I'm going to give it some time first.

November's going to be very busy.
