my first 3 hours and 7 levels in skyrim: did the opening mandatory story bit. chased a fox for about 20 minutes. stealthed about the woods with a bow and arrow collecting pelts and ingredients. found woman in cabin in the woods. discovered skulls and purple fire in her basement, went back up and she screamed how nobody must know her secret and summoned ghost wolves and breathed fire to try and kill me. dont know if that was one of the lauded randomly produced content things or i killed some dark brotherhood woman or something. did the golden claw quest. tried to do some blacksmithing. 3 hired thugs that way outpowered me tried to wreck my shit, only by using all my potion and stuff did i actually survive.

my first 3 hours and 7 levels in skyrim... What is your impression thus far, though? Any "wow", "oh no" or "WTF" moments?

What is your impression thus far, though? Any "wow", "oh no" or "WTF" moments? hard to say, interface is certainly a low point, they tried to make it function like the original ipod menu interface and it sucks. i just want straight menus back. and a d pad full of hotkeyed spells seems to be lacking too. Other than that what i have seen looks great and the musics amazing. my only real complaint is i always go stealth and bows and if i hold right trigger you get the bow out, but unlike oblivion and morrowind you need to release it, wait half a second then hold it again to notch an arrow. id recommend it, but havent really done any story yet to say how good it is. -also a tip BUCKETS! want to steal in front of a shop owner? hold A instead of pressing it to physically pick up a bucket and using physic's put it over the shop owners head. they are now counted as being behind and wall and you can just pilfer the store right in front of them.

That's pretty funny.

got a gift card for veteran's day, decided to pick this up, even against my better judgement. i've been looking at videos and marveling at how incredible this game looks...then everytime i go to play fallout: new vegas, all i see is decay, trash, and brown. getting ready to fire it up, will post some impressions later this weekend.

360 owners need to read this. Do not download the game to your harddrive, yet. There is a glitch that affects the texture quality. They are currently working on a patch to fix the issue. This may explain why the PS3 version looks better my last post. http://www.gamespot.com/news/6345189.html

From what I have read so far, the PC version does have the better graphics.

Superb game this. Very very pretty. Downside is that i tend to get pretty bored of "go there, get this, etc". Hopefully there is something substantial to keep my interest. I do love the universe though.

From what I have read so far, the PC version does have the better graphics. Generally is the rule of thumb... More memory and more horsepower. Just more $$$$ too

MY MAJOR COMPLAINT: i always play elder scrolls as a rogue/assassin type favouring stealth and bows. the f*cking hit detection is terrible. you can aim to shoot just past a door and it gets stuck in mid air like its in the wood of the door. Or i use the zoom timeslow aim to get a perfect headshot and it goes through their head and just alerts them to me and if its like a orc with a great hammer i get one shot and die. its very bloody irritating that my playstyle is broken through no fault of my own!

What is your impression thus far, though? Any "wow", "oh no" or "WTF" moments? The thing i got from that which is maybe the most awesome is that you could literally play this game for weeks, maybe months and not touch the main quest. It's so far from linear it's not even funny. Although, I'm wondering how I'm going to fit this in with all the other games coming out. Next week alone I'm getting ACR, Rayman, Halo Aniverssary And SR the 3rd. This is on top of not evn touching uncharted 3 yet and being totally addicted to MW3 multiplayer. My plan is to Get all of those out of the way first because it looks like once I crack Skyrim open nothing else is gonna get played. Cool stuff though danny.
