Cause you know you lurve it!
New info as and when it comes out. So far the release is 11.11.11 which is easy enough to remember and approx 295 days from now. Website Worth a read Four French dudes got 2 and a half hours each on a 3 month old build. Check out the roughly translated impressions here. Skyrim is the homeland of the Nords, the original home of man. As far as I know the game is set around the death of the king which happens at the start of the game. I imagine very much like the death of the Emperor in Oblivion (Skyrim takes place around 200 years after the events of TES IV). You take the role of the last of the Dovahkiin, or Dragon Born, and its up to you to deal with a civil war and some sick dragon thing. Go here for more info: Link SO! I had an idea. How about all of us looking forward to Skyrim get together on TeamSpeak on Nov. 11th? We can chat, have a laugh and discuss our experiences as we play. Anyone wanting to play in silent for a bit is welcome to drop in and out at their leisure. I think it'd be a great excuse to chat with each other again! 
Well, Skype didn't happen as I was busy that night. Hope everyone's enjoying Skyrim as much as I am. Can I please ask that nobody gives away any spoilers in this topic, please.

It's unfortunately very very expensive for now. I mean, it's almost priced like an expansion without offering the content that is expected of one. I'll wait for now. _______________ Find out more about the Jedi Academy Aurochs here and more about Masta here! Married to Kain. |

Well SWTOR came out, so I haven't been playing much Skyrim. I still love it and will definitely keep playing, but I took an arrow to the knee so SWTOR will probably monopolize my time for a while. _______________ My signature is only one line. You're welcome. |

To be fair you have always been able to pause the game and do those things if I recall correctly. The favorites menu just makes it easier to do with less annoying menu switches. Plus player choice rears it's head again: Much like with fast travel, making use of the system is completely optional. _______________ To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield | Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken | Rhaiko D'kana - SWTOR EU Guild Co-Founder | Is it what the teacher, teaches?

I love it. Only think I could do without is the weird menu system and how it lets you pause combat to switch weapons, poison your new weapon, drink a few health, stamina and magicka potions, eat several loaves of bread and a few apples, drink a couple bottles of meade and then resume combat again. I find that a little cheesey. _______________ My signature is only one line. You're welcome. |

Quote: Yeah I loved finding that one because it was my first one, and it was only then that I realised that it wouldn't always just be a case of going to the statue yadda yadda yadda.
Without spoilers, can anyone tell me whether Sheogorath's is as good as his previous ones? it is rather interesting, yes. _______________ playing jk3 since 30th of january (2005), member since 1st of february.

Still early in the game thanks to other commitments, but have had a wild ride recently:
>Got 'properly' inducted into the Companions > Middle of nowhere trek (refuse to use fast travel ) to Ivarsted, fought a dragon on a hill near a bunch of people chilling in a hot spring, various other random amusements
> stagger into Ivarsted with a full inventory, listen to that special Bard song (awesome) and go to sleep. Wake up and find a guy I didn't recognise who challenged me to a drinking competition, duly accepted... >Wake up in Markath Dibella Temple. :| >Clean said temple and stumble into the clear light of day. Quickly get embroiled in some sort of conspiracy with the locals, this should end well. >Sent to 'un-escapable' prison for my role in aforementioned investigation. :| >Meet some friendly people who show me the way out, then proceed to murder a bunch of people and tell me I should avoid them at all costs. Oh dear. >Still somewhat dazed and confused and just wanting to go home I bump into some guy calling himself a Vigilant of Stendarr. He just wants me to take a look in this nearby house, easy enough. >Oh come on... Yeah, I ate him. I have no idea what to expect next.

A dragon attacked Riverwood. There was one casualty: the dog.
Harsh. Also, I love my horse. It can climb nigh vertical cliff faces with ease - it's spider horse!

I've played a pure warrior and didn't think the game was too easy at all. Granted, the majority of critturs I had no trouble with (especially late-game), but most bosses were still quite a challenge and I died swiftly if I didn't pay attention. The same is especially true for mages, who would sometimes instaZAP me with their magix and there was, in Vision's words, 'nothing you could do vs that'.
Except for stacking resist magic and resist certain element potions! thats why i made breton warrior lol. im rather curious how everything will turn out. i mean breton abilities+ alteration magic resist+alteration atronach... heck i could even get atronach stone. immune to magic? _______________ playing jk3 since 30th of january (2005), member since 1st of february.

Got bored at level 25... 
Dialogues are very predictable and I end up just clicking right mouse button, yelling "SHUT UUP!" "SHUT UUP! I KNOW ALLREADY WHAT TO DO!" HUD is annoying Playing Mage is unbelievable hard! If you don't go Winterhold at first. Good Luck with walking/running! What if I don't want to be dragonborn! Do I have to read all the books! You can't fight and ride on the same time, wtf! +all the glitches and bugs... Over Hyped Game! Confirmed! - Maher Senatu EDIT: Gotcha ya!

Warriors have always had it easier in TES games, but you can even the playing field by modifying difficulty or ignoring some of the more beneficial perks. _______________ "Deos fortioribus adesse." |

Quote: Up the difficulty and play as a warrior with a knack for alchemy, I have a potion for every situation. It is a lot more satisfying than the old poison assassin build, I only really use a bow to deliver a paralysis shot to temporarily even numbers.
Nothing feels better than draining a boss level Mage character of all its magicka then laughing when he pulls out a dagger to tangle with my axe. well you just confirmed that the games difficulty is off. why you should be struggling as hybrid on normal difficulty and slaughtering everything as warrior. kinda lame imo, i always play on normal no matter what since thats how the game is balanced usually. _______________ playing jk3 since 30th of january (2005), member since 1st of february.

lvl 20 warrior now, didnt do dragon tablet quest yet, because tbh even tho dragons are nice - they are more like annoyance sometimes.
ummm... id say the game is piss-easy as warrior. i didnt even start crafting yet. the game was way more challenging as hybrid assassin mage character, mainly, because the very nature of character was very low (if any) defense. and while it was fun backstabin and casting spells, the damage didnt really scale that well tbh. _______________ playing jk3 since 30th of january (2005), member since 1st of february.

Sword & Shield is fun, you can bash those mages and force them to stop using those silly wards. Shield bash really comes in handy often if you play a warrior. _______________ "Deos fortioribus adesse." |

Thanks Saz. Think I'll grab some Resto perks in that case, I have never tried Conjuration in any ES game before oddly enough so might go for that as well, shall have a think.
Still unsure whether to go dual wielding or sword and board though and it's gotten to the point where I need to make a decision. Anyone find one more enjoyable than the other? _______________ To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield | Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken | Rhaiko D'kana - SWTOR EU Guild Co-Founder | Is it what the teacher, teaches?
