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.

I hadn't thought of that. I'm up for Skype conference-ing it up if others are.
So far looks like its just me and you although I'm pretty sure Alex will be up for it. _______________ -Padawan of Virtue -Brother of Menaxia, *|irael, Krynn Adept, Majno, Ris Win Juljul, DaMi3N, Beowulf, Dash Starlight, Carrock and Yuken Zalak Bartender at Munes bar.

Awesome. I'll have to look into hosting/finding a host. I'm not even sure if TJA.net still has a TS server. _______________ -Padawan of Virtue -Brother of Menaxia, *|irael, Krynn Adept, Majno, Ris Win Juljul, DaMi3N, Beowulf, Dash Starlight, Carrock and Yuken Zalak Bartender at Munes bar.

Quote: That's great, thanks for the tips both of you.
I'll post my new spec once I've taken the plunge!
Can't believe the game is actually out next month, still trying to decide what 'class'/race combo I'm going to go with. Toying with either an Altmer spellsword, a Breton alchemist or a classic Khajiit thief, although I love the new designs of the races so much I've got a bunch of other ideas bumbling about too. If you need decent, honest reviews of new tech. Check out Toms Hardware. Also if people can redirect their attention to my idea on the post. ^^ _______________ -Padawan of Virtue -Brother of Menaxia, *|irael, Krynn Adept, Majno, Ris Win Juljul, DaMi3N, Beowulf, Dash Starlight, Carrock and Yuken Zalak Bartender at Munes bar.

Quote: lol its difficult to imagine how dual (or more) monitor gaming actually feels without spending some time adapting to all that.
I do a lot of Games Design (Indie titles, uni work and map packs mostly). Which means heavy modelling, animation, level design amongst other things. I tend to use both monitors very frequently. Don't know how I lived without them before. A lot of the engines I use require some kind of reference site for the scripting not to mention oodles of tutorials. It's very convenient to have the editor/whatever running on one screen and whatever else I need on the other. Allows me to simply turn my head/eyes ever so slightly instead of alt-tabbing constantly. As for gaming with dual monitors, I agree with Monteeee. I tend to have my music playlist, or TeamSpeak running on my second monitor and my game in my first. I have a 40" telly right next to my desk for my consoles but it's far too big for a computer monitor. I just wouldn't be able to get far enough away from it!
Alex: I concur with Monteeeee (again, whodathunk?). Check around ebuyer, play.com, scan.co.uk (expect everything from cheap deals, to ridiculous rip offs), local shops and (god forbid) eBay as a last resort. Avoid PC World like it's Umbrella Corp. _______________ -Padawan of Virtue -Brother of Menaxia, *|irael, Krynn Adept, Majno, Ris Win Juljul, DaMi3N, Beowulf, Dash Starlight, Carrock and Yuken Zalak Bartender at Munes bar.

Most towns have a computer place you can get cheap bits from, not pc world etc.. A proper computer repair shop etc.. Ebuyer.co.uk can be good on some items and play.com had a killer deal on gfx cards not so long ago so you could try te
, also custom built pc shops online often will sell parts individually if you email them _______________ If you add me to MSN, tell me who you are

Quote: I just built a new system for Skyrim. -i7 @ 3.0ghz -GTX 560 ti -6gb RAM -3TB HDD (1.5, .5, 1.0tb) -1KW PSU (Black Edition thingummy, requested as birthday gift) This all adds to my remaining hardware which was alright anyway. R.A.T 7 mouse, saitek cyborg gaming keyboard (getting a new Gxx when I can be bothered), 5.1 surround, dual monitors and the rest of the usual. I AM PREPARED! (In case you were wondering: I spent just short of £600.) Nice! Looks similar to what I'm thinking of, I've given myself an £900 maximum budget so hearing that you put that together for £600 is promising. Can I ask which sites you used/would recommend?

Quote: Can't wait.
Although I am currently udnertaking the mixed joy that is putting together a new computer to run the thing. Never built a new machine before, thus it involves a lot more reasearch than someone who knows what they are doing. 
Worth it in the end though, I hope! I was at Eurogamer a little while back, it looked even better in action.
