Elder Scrolls V (video game)

[SymphonicX]

Hands on preview - http://content.usatoday.com/communit...lls-v-skyrim/1 Oh my god...it just looks superb. So exciting. BF3 was my first ever gaming pre-order, for the 360 - but I sold the console and games and cancelled the pre-order. Just the other day a friend pointed me to a website that she claims delivers the pre-ordered copies a couple of days earlier or gives you a discount on the next one. So I went with that. 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..! -- -------- Post added at 03:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ---------- oh by the way, if you wanna pre-order this game WITH the cloth map - look here: www.shopto.net

First review gives 95% - http://www.computerandvideogames.com...verdict-is-95/ Yeah. I saw that yesterday. Can't wait. Got it preordered and should have it on Thursday. I don't really have the time to play games anymore but im gonna make time for this.

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.

not surprisingly, they've already confirmed that there's DLC in the works. 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

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

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 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

[Tricky]

I need to have this game, just been watching some videos of it that people have put out today & it looks gorgeous! It'll have to wait till the end of the month for pay day though!

[slickwilly13]

[Tricky]
