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! :D



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. Be fair to your kinsmen. :P

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

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? Being UK based as well and all.

I would think gaming on dual monitors would be really annoying.

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.

watched that a few days ago and...
well i kinda like everything except the interface. it looks simple and all, but notice how much time he spends selecting powers or weapons in middle of combat? then again it might be thanks to console controller which i couldnt care less about.

also the best thing about video is ofcourse the confirmation of dark brotherhood.
we knew its gonna be there, but... still :p
cant wait to play stealthy khajiit again.

More has been revealed!

It all looks good so far. Perks and dragon shouts make up for a few skills like acrobatics being phased out.

ofcourse.

there arent many hints of them making the game overly casual and they didnt really disappoint me with their previous games so yeah you could say im pretty optimistic.

looks like the engine now allows some better character to character interactions.

always thought that in TES series some wife & husband npcs should feel pretty sad, because they cant even hug each other lol.
nice way to increase immersion.

on top of that i bet we will see normal backstabs. as a fan of stealth im looking forward to those. also nothing beats some good impaling. since dark messiah i want that in every game which involves swords.

also i thought they are gonna drop the usual TES experience system and go to fallout 3 and new vegas one. it seems they are tweaking the old system. i guess thats better since it still kinda makes the series unique. the changes sound good enough to avoid bandits in full daedric armor.
