Is anyone playing Skyrim? I'm watching the stream on Giant Bomb and it looks amazing cant wait to get it. I'm also reading Northlanders, got my Viking on to day :p
Skyrim
I have to wait a few weeks till I'm home before I get it because I'm not getting it on XboxI figure I may as well buy it. The death animations are a nice touch.
@spiderbat87: I thought about putting it off so I could buy Modern Warfare 3, but the girl I'm seeing bought that for me already. I won't know what to play at this point and I haven't fully gone through many other games. I don't just play games... I make love to them.
I remember playing on the previous versions of this game...
Lol. I'm sick of FPS I need some more epic fantasy in my life.@spiderbat87: I thought about putting it off so I could buy Modern Warfare 3, but the girl I'm seeing bought that for me already.

@spiderbat87: That's generally why I love games by Bethesda. I have to be in a certain mood to play Black Ops, Battlefield 3 and Gears 3, whereas New Vegas and Oblivion I can just run around the sandbox kicking dirt in mutants'/vampires' mouths.
YES! Game of the year potential. Oblivion is still my fav 360 game, I dropped near to or over 100 hours in Oblivion and the Fallout games each. But I'm not following it too much before I play, for me it lessens the awe factor.
Yea I'm the same, been killing Zombies/Cowboys on Dead Island/Red Dead for a while now, need to change up to orcs and dragons.@spiderbat87: That's generally why I love games by Bethesda.

Kinda bummed that it's a DX9 game. Guess have to wait a couple of more years to see some DX11 action going on for the Elder Scrolls series. Wonder what the next one will be.
I'm putting off my purchase for Battlefield 3 just to get the game next week. I've played too much of FPSs this year.
In other news, IGN says that you should say goodbye to real life when playing Skyrim...
Take that however you want to take it. LOL.
Was thinking about getting it, still have to get the rig for it. Not sure with the whole Origins thing I hear about.I'm putting off my purchase for Battlefield 3 just to get the game next week. I've played too much of FPSs this year.
I'm putting off MW3 for the same reason. I got Battlefield 3 when it came out but they gave me the wrong disc >:0I'm putting off my purchase for Battlefield 3 just to get the game next week. I've played too much of FPSs this year.

That's fine. Real life doesn't have achievements, anyway.
haha yes, I plan on breaking up with my girl before I get this game. She will understand.In other news, IGN says that you should say goodbye to real life when playing Skyrim...

It is on the way the from Gamefly right now, which means I can try it for a while before I buy it which is great!!!! I have already informed my wife and kids I will be ignoring them for a few days.....so just like normal.....
When Oblivion came out I became malnourished, my girlfriend left me, my bosses suspected me of tweaking and my family thought I had cancer. With Skyrim, I hope to do better.
I relented and just got Skrim for the Xbox some I'm not going to be able to hear much over Dragon slaying for a while
I was screwing around with the magic system by combining two frost spells for about fifteen minutes straight. I was running while casting them continuously, pretending to be Frozone..

Just killed my first Dragon :-)
Please tell me I'm not the only one who sat back around the tower and took him down with arrows. I tried taking him on directly twice, and got burnt to a nice little dragonborn crisp.. twice.

Hope you have paid vacation because you're not going to want to go to work once you start playing.
That's why I waiting to buy it, so I can get school and work out of the way, buy it next Friday and play it during the Thanksgiving break. LOL.
@ZombieBigfoot:My guy is an archer nord so I used arrows to take him down, if you're fighting close you should try letting the other guards take the brunt of his attacks and attack when he isn't looking.
@Obtrusive said:
I like vikings
Same, I noticed a huge Norse theme in Skyrim which is fantastic.

Just remember to eat and get up to use the restroom.
They own your soul now, it is now in a soul gem.I just missed a company executive meeting this afternoon. Damn you Bethesda!
Na I went on some massive quests to get badass weapons so he never really stood a chance with me.I was screwing around with the magic system by combining two frost spells for about fifteen minutes straight. I was running while casting them continuously, pretending to be Frozone..

@OmegaDynasty:
Whats everyone named there character?
Ha, its a good name. I'v kind of came up with my own fluff for my character, he's really a Nord but I have him as a Pictish warrior named Hueil An Gallovidian, Hueil was a mythical Pictish warrior and member of the round table so I thought I'd steal his name and An Gallovidian means "ofGalloway" in Gallwegian Gaelic which is where I'm from.@spiderbat87: Ssej Llenrad. Big surprise there.. :D

Im taking it nice & easy at the Mo..Just joined the Companions :-)Yea I did that earlier
Man, cant a guy catch a brake, just happily going for a morning stroll and I get attacked by two frost trolls and a dragon.
Doing the first mission as a Companion & wot do i see while taking a stroll to the location? A Giant with two wooly Mammoths :-)
& no i didnt attack but found a place of safety & hid there Lol

I'm trying to figure out an appropriate time to murder a family so the Dark Brotherhood will love me.

I was trying to act like the bada** dragonslayer who could take them head on. Then I realized that guy gets killed more often and the archer who sticks by the tower entrance and chips away at the dragon's health lives much longer.

They're docile. They'll only hit you if you hit them first. I've walked up to six giants and stared at them. They just turn their head and look at you funny.
Not really, I ran through their camp and they started shooing and chasing me away.@Chaos Prime said:

I dunno. Like I said, I've walked up to six of them while they were herding the woolly mammoths, and they just stared at me. I even stood there for like thirty seconds on one occasion. Haven't run into one of their camps though. And I hate the ice trolls with a fiery(ironic), burning passion. Ran into one while going up the 7,000 steps, died twice.. and had to re-load my save a third time and sneak around it.
Thought about sneaking around it, but it looked like there was only one way to go. I died several times I am going up the steps right now.@OmegaDynasty said:

360. Is it the ice troll where you're walking into a little mini-valley where the troll is standing on a ledge at the end of it? If so, take a left at the beginning of said mini-valley and maneuver over the rock/mountain face until you reach the other end of the mini-valley. Sneak until you're out of his range and you should be clear. It's how I did it.
