digibucc · Nov 1, 2011

how is that on topic? those posts kill a thread faster than an argument, ABOUT the game. imo.

Kreij · Nov 1, 2011

So, digi ... your post about a post being off topic is on topic? lol

Post about your thoughts on the game, folks. It's only 11 days out.

ViperXTR · Nov 1, 2011

didn't notice that Nov. 11 is friday hehe, anyone knows if the construction set will be available with the game or for later release?

Graphics is a tad disappointing, it looks too much like Oblivion. Sure you can see the improvements they made, the water is particularly impressive, but I still think they can do better. Take a look at Uncharted series for example. The rocks still looks too shiny and "plasticky" for my tastes. Debating whether I should get at launch, or wait for the GOTY edition (with horse armour or eqv) which will come out eventually.

no, that's my point. the difference is i'm under no illusion. i know i'm being off-topic while they think they are being constructive. neither one of us is being helpful, but at least i recognize it.

about the game? as i said i am looking forward to it, though at the same time keeping my hopes down.after i built a whole new rig for oblivion and was left underwhelmed (though not dissapointed) and then seeing the continuing trend of simplification and consolization, i would be surprised if this could even compare to morrowind, let alone be as amazing as morrowing was at the time.

i was hoping for that with oblivion and was let down, i won't make that mistake again.

the wait will be longer thanks to daylight savings time. any other time gaining an hour is a blessing! curses!!!

Wrigleyvillain · Nov 1, 2011

Nuts!

Unlikely but if anyone sees a sale somewhere please post it. Tho not some shady, barely legal outift like that cjskeys, please. I woulda preordered by now but I'm still butthurt that I missed the Newegg one in August and would just salt it to miss another. Esp so close to release. Only ten bucks but it's the principle!

Pre order bonus kinda meh too but would like to see that thing in person. It may be a lot nicer than I realize.

I get what you mean, they did a bit of work on most of the textures but it looks too similar because it is the same engine, the 3D models are similar if you get me.

Honestly i was a massive Oblivion fan so anything that looks slightly better but the gameplay is improved will be fine in my books. Day one purchase and i usually wait unless its cheap.

Spaceman Spiff · Nov 1, 2011

Currently on my first run through of Morrowind and will play Oblivion afterwards and I'm taking my time so I won't be playing Skyrim until I feel good and finished with the other two.

Just wondering how long you all think it will take for some epic mods will come out? Gfx, items, quests, etc?

ViperXTR · Nov 1, 2011

i don't expect much from the graphics department, as long as its a cross platform game, it won't take much of a leap.
I would assume that the first mods that would come out would be "fix" mods , then out with the UI and some custom weapon, armor, item and some gameplay mods, then later prolly will be race/character mods and landscape mods/texture mods.

d'oh, forgot about that :laugh:

Anyways, like I said, I'm buying it regardless as soon as it's on a good sale, because I fucking love TES, but I just can't afford to pay full price for any game right now. Alright, that's a lie, I can't wait that long.

techtard · Nov 1, 2011

The graphics for Skyrim look to be acceptable. There will always be some HD texture mods and such after launch if the default isn't to your liking.

If the game is fun enough, people will be spending all their time actually playing the game to nit-pick about minor graphics issues. These guys make some fun games, and if they have to sacrifice a little graphical fideity, so be it.
You can't expect too much from a game that is also launching on the Xbox 360.

Nice,but that would be only for ppl that buy a physical copy of the game.

Wrigleyvillain · Nov 1, 2011

Uh maybe they can ship the map even with download orders? IDK I'll have to look.

Screw that. Just buy the thing off of Amazon or Ebay for cheap

WhiteNoise · Nov 1, 2011

The game looks a lot better than Oblivion IMO. Just so much better. I'm really looking forward to this. I could have bought Uncharted 3 but preordered Skyrim instead, scheduled a vacation day for release and my hopes are quite high.

Though I'm thinking maybe I should have grabbed Uncharted 3 first. That game looks awesome and I absolutely loved 1 & 2.

Virus-j · Nov 1, 2011

pre ordered Skyrim, Love the Elder scrolls games played both Morrowind and oblivion i seem to keep on playing oblivion over and over again, hate to think how much time iv spent playing Elder scrolls in total :roll:

God so many good games coming out this month i need more CASH : P

I was gonna buy it from steam but noticed steam is selling skyrim for £35 as a pre-purchase was £40 yet most sites selling it for £30 would of thought steam would do it cheaper or atleast the same price....

BumbleBee · Nov 1, 2011

here is a picture of the burlap map that comes with the collectors edition. the creases are like nails on a chalkboard...
