Naughty thanks for sharing that link with us it was a great read with some great info in it as well. And I agree with you as far as the art book goes for the Collectors Edition. I just couldn't see putting out close to double the money for it though.

Meh, an art book that'll pop up legally in Elder Scrolls fansites after a year. Just like the Morrowind artbook and the illustrations from the Pocket Guides.

I'm hit with the thought that all the new graphics cards will be bundled with Skyrim. Anyone remember what brand they prefer? 'Cause I'm not going Nvidia, but if they like them, then I'm out of a possible free Skyrim.

I don't remember ever seeing an rpg bundled with a graphics card over the years. I do remember that fps' have been bundled with graphics cards though. So you're going to wait and see if you can buy a new graphics card so you can get the game for free?

I genuinely don't care if it looks like Oblivion, it wasn't the looks that spoilt oblivion, I just hope they have fixed NPC and quest variety a bit, a la FO3.

Oblivion is one of the best game of all time imo but i hated how the main quest was basicly 'get this item, ok now come back to cloudruler temple; ok now get this one, now come back...'

I couldn't care less if they use the same engine or whatever, I just want a solid story or, at very least, solid quests.

Basically, yeah. The DX:HR deal doesn't expire until New Year's Eve, anyhow. So I have options.

How much is that card going to set you back if you don't mind my asking? Is your card that old that you need a new one?  As for me I don't plan on getting a new card unless I've got no other choice and from the looks of it I'm not going to have to. But I'll wait and see when I get Skyrim if that is truly the case. After all money is a little tight right now.

A summary of nformation from the Nov 2011 EDGE magazine preview posted by a BSG forum member describes another new faction, the Vigilants of Stendarr

"The player runs into a couple of mages while traveling who claim to be "Vigilants of Stendarr," a sect devoted to the banishment of demonic worship."

By banishment I assume they mean Daedra? Just curious because I dont remember anything being labeled as demons before, even the Daedra.

That's because you're not looking hard enough.

To humans these et'Ada are the Gods and Demons; to the Aldmer, the Aedra/Daedra, or the 'Ancestors'.

Herma-Mora (The Woodland Man): Ancient Atmoran demon who, at one time, nearly seduced the Nords into becoming Aldmer.

Fortunately, It doesn't use the same engine. 2006 was almost 6 years ago.

Well now isn't that pretty much the way it is with most quest you go and retrieve an item and than return it to the person who asked you to retrieve it.

Why? All that lore is compiled in TES fansites anyway.

Yeah, but then again I  never did the main quest after the first time because it made me lose complete immersion. I was the Champion of Cyridol, yet I was hardly treated like one. So for most of my characters, I skipped it.

I hope the MQ of Skyrim relates a lot better to everything in general.

Because reading on a screen will never beat the feeling of sitting down and read an actual book.
Feeling the structure of the pages, being able to scribble in the marginals, flap trough the pages etc… 

I've already downloaded the document. Now it's only for me to purchase a printer and learn how to bind books :D

It's most likely they mean daedra. I won't be joining them though, they sound suspiciously like religious zealots. I'd rather serve the daedra princes - although princes such as Dagon and Molag Bal are bad, not all of the daedra princes are bad, and most of their followers that you come across are non-violent. ^_^

I can read a book and not be distracted by idk the game or website.

I also love the feel of books which is why I don't have an E-reader.

I made up my mind now that I will be a female Imperial my first play.  Still not sure if I will focus as an archer or as a warrior though...
I think the first high powered bow or sword I come across will decide it for me!  B)

I absolutely understand that. However, I could do the same thing with books posted on those same websites. Print it out and bind it. Aside from Ted Peterson's serial fiction, many of them are just excerpts anyway. But, do what you want. There's a novelty in this. Plus, I admit, the printing's nice.

I mean, it's not as if Meridia helped Umaril send her Aurorans at you...
