It comes with a cloth map too, which IMO is the most valuable product that comes with the special edition - but I've ordered the normal version, it just comes with the cloth map as a bonus.

    I loved Oblivion so much, and Fallout games...they were just amazing. so CHOCK full of content, so many moments, so many great environments and fun weapons. So much time wasted just enjoying the atmosphere, milling around, and relaxing.

    Oblivion was better for prettyness, because of it's setting only -although the fallout series is beautiful, it's not pretty - now with the updated engine and graphics, Elder Scrolls 5 should be even more beautiful than fallout and without a doubt a hundred times more pretty than Oblivion.

    Now there was a mod to bring the world of Morrowind and Oblivion together using Oblivions arguably better game engine - called Morroblivion. Hopefully in the not to distant future, we'll have a mod than brings Morroblivion into the game engine of Skyrim - creating nothing less than an almost fully functioning COUNTRY to a game..!

    oh by the way, if you wanna pre-order this game WITH the cloth map - look here:

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Im gonna wait a month to buy it until they fix some of the glitches. There are bound to be glitches. Dead Island had horrible glitches and corrupted saves. When Fallout 3 released "The Pitts" no one could play it and was removed from xboxs game market place that same day. With all expansive RPGs there will always be nasty glitches when first released.

    not surprisingly, they've already confirmed that there's DLC in the works, and i'm still barely started on fallout:new vegas, so i think i'll be holding off till the inevitable GOTY edition is out next summer.

    Arrgh not that word again, DLC, why cant they just release this stuff at the same time as the rest of the game? Half the time the stuff is already packaged with the game but you have to pay to unlock it a couple of months after you bought it

    Usually if you preorder the special edition version of the game for like $150 you can get all the future DLC for free. I always pass on this

    This is true when it comes to things like extra maps for multiplayer shooters, but the Bethesda's DLCs are usually more substantial (horse armour excluded, although the backlash to that debacle probably helped ensure their current level of quality). If you look at the DLC for Fallout 3, for example, each one added several hours to gameplay along with new weapons, enemies, characters and extended the playable game area for miles with new environments and stuff to explore.

    According to Todd Whatsisface, they have plans for the Skyrim DLC mapped out but haven't really begun working on it in earnest. Apparently they take a holiday after releasing a game, see how the public take things, relax, then come back and start working on DLC a month or two later. So no, it's not hidden inside the Skyrim game disc when you buy it.

    Anyone played yet? Sitting in my jacket right now, the "cloth" map is like shitty christmas table cloth material - really disappointing plus misleading as the product description changed on the website. Arse. it's still better than the map you'd get normally I guess - but still not on that they did that.

    Anyway, not overly important, the game is here! I cannot WAIT!!!

    See you all in about 3 years. xxxx
