Yeah, it is pretty funny. The best is Fallout 3 though, when you shoot out the skull of someone having a conversation with someone else and the other one keeps talking to the mangled corpse, bids them farewell and stalks off to patrol!

Against my better judgement I bought the game. Not sure if i'm going to open it though because I might return it on Tuesday when I got pick up AC:R.

Need to do more research. How's the difficulty compared to Dark Soul's? How's the story etc?

I don't want something like Dragon Age.

EDIT: Just watched Gamespots review and I can't say Skyrrims fate in my library is going to last much longer. Need some reasons to keep it.

its superior to dragon age in every imaginable way. you should just play it! are all the 10/10's not good enough to tempt you to play it? :0

The reviews are heavily inflated. If this game recieves a 10 from any reviewer that should instantly be discredited. Hell in the Gamespot review the guy talked about glitches for almost 3 minutes alone. Called it "glitched/bugs we have all come to know from Bethesda" wth? Why is it getting a free pass. The other reason i'm afraid to open it is the lack of animation from attacks and the constant frame drops (all trailers/gameplay vids have it).

I'm trying to like it, but I need some. I wouldn't have bought it if deep down I really didn't want it. However when games are 65 bones a pop i'm not going to just willing throw my money down the toilet.

After playing Dark Souls. well, in comparison TES 5 isalot more engaging and enjoyable imo. Dark Souls was surprisingly good. But TES 5 is a different lague.

I feel Skyrim is the deepest TES yet. 

The new system for leveling allows you to be what you want regardless of race. Your not predestined from the start. But also that can lead to tough choies to not spread yoursrlf thinly. There is over 200 perks in the game. A signifficant amount over previous titles.

The mining and smithing is a great system, as is the changes to Specifics. e.g Shouts and specials. 

I got the guide with game, and promised myself I'd only read the training part. Which tells you of the changes and mechanics of Skyrim. There is alot more than what is in Morrowind or Oblivion.

Skyrim is a game wihich RPG lights can dabble in without to much worry. But to fully complete the game will be far more challenging than its predecessors. Theres alot more factors to worry about, and the training part of Skyrims guide to its mechanics is more than 30 pages longer than Oblivions. 

I was shocked at how much more involved Skyrm is. 

On the face of it, casuals can still hav fun. But fo RPG fans who do the lot, Skyrim is incredibly in depth and complicated

I'm 12 hours in. And I havent began to do a quater of the stuff that is in the guide. An I dont mean quests etc. I mean mechanicswise.

I own Oblivions guide also. Skyrims is alot more involving.Will be alot harder to endgame and master.

By the way. I donnt loo at the guide for quest help or item help until Ive don like 200 hours myself. ;)

I'll probably end up keeping it but this game will have to be amazing in order to beat Dark Soul's for me. That game is just on so many epic levels.

I think on the face of it, Betesda have made agame accesssible to playthrough fo the lighthearted min quest guys, and uber hard for veterans wo want to endgame. The guide does say if you want to beat it all, and I quote " you'll need patience time and a full understanding of where you want your character to be ". 

Wagram; if you decide on it, get the PC version. It runs very smoothly indeed, even on my rig which is pushing it a bit on full Ultra with all settings maxed. I've yet to experience significant framedrops and the loading times are very short (1-2 seconds most of the time). I've seen a fair share of bugs and glitches but most of them are just funny (like the dark-elf in Rifton who thinks he's lugging a fishcrate around but there's nothing there...).

Its a fun game and I can't claim to dislike something I've clocked 12 hours in over the course of 24 hours... I just miss some more depth and substance to the character development. And some of the skills are very unbalanced, I've maxed out pickpocket now and can steal your penis without anyone noticing (till you have to pee, that is) but my other thieving skills are all around the 35-50 mark (trained my sneak for a couple of perks) and I've been doing nothing but thieves stuff for hours and hours now (still no way to fence my loot though... ).

I think I'm going to write a thread with updated impressions when I have some more hours clocked (its been a while since I reached level 24-25 this quickly in a game though!).
