Backroom Tom Posted November 10, 2011 Backroom Posted November 10, 2011 I think we need a thread to discuss this. Tomorrow is skyrim day and it will be glorious. No spoilers in here though but feel free to discuss random findings and experiences. So who else is getting it and losing their spare time?

BiggusLaddus Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Certainly hope to be. I 'invested' a ridiculous amount of hours into oblivion and then topped that with both fallout 3 and new vegas.
Clitherover Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Lucky buggers who are getting this, I can't afford it at least till after Christmas. Will be game of the year I reckon.
BuckyRover Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 ASDA have ###### me over. Won't be buying anything from them again.
Backroom Tom Posted November 10, 2011 Author Backroom Posted November 10, 2011 ASDA have ###### me over. Won't be buying anything from them again. My order said on backorder this morning but changed to fully despatched, I expect it Monday
Rover Down Under Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 I know if I buy this I can kiss goodbye to a few hundred hours of my life (as I did with Oblivion and to a lesser extent with Fallout 3 & New Vegas). Too hard to resist though, the escapism from the mundane aspects of life is...what exactly?! Answers on a postcard please.
davulsukur Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Played Oblivion to death, i actually started it again in prep for Skyrim. My Mrs bought me Arkham City for my birthday so i wanna get that played through first. I will cave in and buy Skyrim soon tho, i have some birthday cash burning a hole in my wallet.
BuckyRover Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 I can keep myself entertained with Batman in the meantime Delivery status: On Backorder
Hughesy Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Game are doing £5 when you trade in certain selected new games. Whats Skyrim all about?
Amo Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Game are doing £5 when you trade in certain selected new games. Whats Skyrim all about? In brief, a "sandbox" style fantasy action-RPG where you roam the land fighting dragons, orcs, ghouls and just about everything else out to kill you. There's A LOT more to it than that, what with sidequests, NPC interaction, crafting etc. but that's the gist of it.
BuckyRover Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 It's now fully despatched. I have no idea why they waited until this morning. I hope I get my parchment map!
RibbleValleyRover Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 No spoilers required, but just wondering how buggy is the game? Specifically the Xbox 360 version? Bethesda have a pretty bad rep when it comes to releasing 'finished' games.
Backroom Tom Posted November 11, 2011 Author Backroom Posted November 11, 2011 Meant to be some dodgy textures in the 360 version specifically shadows. Mine just turned up, GOTY already and I haven't started yet just for the parchementy map, actual colour manaul and menu music
Clitherover Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Bethesda have a pretty bad rep when it comes to releasing 'finished' games. Fallout New Vegas on the PS3 was a nightmare, never had any problems with Oblivion and had that on 360 and PS3 .
American Rover12 Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Just wondering if I should go and play Oblivion before this game? Is it necessary? Will it help in an over arching story?
BuckyRover Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 No. It's set in a area different to Oblivion and a few hundred years apart. You could play it after if you enjoy it. I take everything I said about ASDA back. It arrived today. Happy days. Not played it yet.
Backroom Tom Posted November 12, 2011 Author Backroom Posted November 12, 2011 Game is brilliant played about 4-5 hours so far and as with oblivion I set off to do something and then see something on my map and spend an hour diverted. Already have 6 or 7 side missions unstarted as well.
Exiled_Rover Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 Should arrive tomorrow. I've watched a few streams and I simply can't decide what class to play. Probably mage....but archery looks fun too.
BuckyRover Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 The class system is not enforced. You choose a race but your skills are mostly determined by your actions. I'm just loading it up now!
roverandout Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 is this game like dragonage? if so i am keeping well clear.
BiggusLaddus Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 It's got dragons in if that counts? Took me a while to get into it, but I think I'm now hooked. Got two games going simultaneously atm, big nord with an even bigger hammer and a khagiit assassin / thief.
BuckyRover Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 I played for a ridiculously long time yesterday and I can't wait to get home and play some more!
BiggusLaddus Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 My big nord is now a werewolf. But the big hammer has been swapped for a big axe.
Amo Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Just wondering if I should go and play Oblivion before this game? Is it necessary? Will it help in an over arching story? You'll probably appreciate Skyrim a helluva lot more.
