Preordered 2 copies today, one for me and one for my girl. 2 weeks. Cool thing is, the launch date is a holiday here in Canada.

[Mussels]

anyone know/have a list of all the exclusives for this? looking around here in Au i can only find EB games and Game, and their exclusives are... average at best.

[BumbleBee]

Where are you guys pre-ordering the game from? (I mean where are the best prices?) I'd love to have the game on steam but it's €50... And I don't think Steam would ship me a burlap map (lol)

_______________________________________________

We’ve been speaking to Bethesda game director, Todd Howard about The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. So far we’ve covered small matters concerning crime reporting chickens, a disastrous marriage night and the lessons Bethesda have learned from Fallout 3, but it was only a matter of time before the conversation turned to the creatures that Bethesda have shown the most in this year’s Skyrim demos, dragons! When will they appear, and how often will we fight them?

“You have to do a little bit of the main quest – just the initial stuff – for the Dragons to really start appearing, because it sits in with the story,” says Howard. “After that point, the more of the main quest you do, the more Dragons you’ll run into. But it’s hard to quantify it, they appear every once in a while. Not at a rate that is annoying… it still feels special.”

“It’s hard to know how people will play the game and it’s a little bit random, so I don’t want to say if it’s once an hour or…”

What about those who decide to ignore the main quest and start exploring the world by themselves? Howard says that if players “don’t want to proceed in the main quest, they’re not going to get spammed with dragons.”

“when one of them arrives, it changes whatever you’re doing at the time. You could be on a different quest, going to a town, and a dragon shows up, so you’re going to have to find a way to kill the thing or work with the townspeople or run away. So we spent a lot of time on that, and I think that the balance on that is pretty good right now.”

Skyrim’s is almost here. Come November 11, will you charge straight into the main quest, or will you pick a direction and start exploring?

What is this "main quest" you speak of?

[hellrazor]

Looks like I'm stuck between minimum and recommended again....


I really do need to upgrade my CPU (badly), but I'd need a new mobo, and if I get a new mobo I'll need new memory...... and I don't have that kind of money...... sucks yo.

[Horrux]

I think I'll just kick the main quest into motion, just so as to have the random dragon show up, then go exploring until I think I've done it all, then finish the main quest.

That's the plan, anyway...

I preordered from Steam. Expensive, but I like Steam.

i always rush the main quest the first time, then redo with a new character and do the side quests.


fallout 3 taught me this, since you could rush to the power armor and have a lot easier time bumming around the wastelands after that part.

[bostonbuddy]

first I'll steal everything in the game, then get started on the main quest

[lyndonguitar]

I cant wait for this game.. please release it now.. I would stop playing BF3 just for this.!!!!!

When those NPC's find the silverware you have stolen, expect to feel massively raped, they probably won't be gentle.

they'll have to climb spoon mountain and pass the valley of the forks to reach me.

They will send their champion, to battle you in the arena of plates.

Yes, Remembrance Day and I am off work that day for the Holiday. Perhaps I will pick a copy up the day before.

if its a chick, i'll just leave a rag and some soap. she'll never reach me.


if its a dude, doesnt matter. he'll be distracted by all the chicks cleaning the dishes.


my plan is flawless.

[Super XP]

Just Pre-Ordered my copy from Best Buy Canada. Can't wait to get this thing installed on my PC. Hopefully that special MAP will help out within the game. If this game is anything like Oblivion in terms of the massive upon massive world you get to explore, that is going to be great.

[Wrigleyvillain]

Indeed.

[Fourstaff]

Hmm, to get it on PC or on PS3? My pc sucks, but I don't won a PS3 (flatmate's). Decisions, decisions!
