^ I wonder how race will be explained. I mean each game has it's "default" player race. Morrowind was Dark Elf, Oblivion Imperial. The Dragon Tongue thing is supposed to be a Nord exclusive thing according to the lore. I wonder how much sense it will make having a Argonian or Khajitt running around doing the same.

From what I understand, being "Dragonborn" has to do with having the soul of a dragon or some spiritual lineage, rather than genetics. So it's explained in such a way that the PC race does not factor into the ability to use the Thu'um.

  If memory serves, I think gamestop is doing a midnight release

Some are.  The Gamestop near me, where I pre-orderd,  will simply  not give me an answer on that.  3 times I've stopped by and asked, and each time they've said:  "We don't know yet.  You'll get an email if we do!"

Yeah mine won't say either. I guess it depends on how many people preoder the game. I imagine here Skyrim will sell well, so I'll be going at midnight. :3


The only thing with a midnight launch is if you're going to be getting it on PC. Cause since Skyrim is using Steamworks, unless you're on the West Coast, you'll likely have to wait until its at least midnight pacific time before it'll unlock on Steam. At least thats how it usually is with Steamworks stuff.

I'm in Arizona, which doesn't change time, so part of the year I'm pacific and the other part mountain. Guess I'll have to figure out which I'm in lol.

As RAGE was unlocked at 12midnight EST, hopefully Skyrim will follow suit. (This would mean that those of us on the west coast can start playing at 9pm on Nov 10.)

By the way, why the hell was the CE of Skyrim so ridiculous?

The $150 price tag? :D I waited in anticipation of the CE to going with pre-ordering on Steam.  There is simply not enough loot in it.

I have no idea, but it makes me sad. Silly dragon statue.

At least we get a nice map with the standard version anyway.

Its ridiculous how little it comes with. You're pretty much just paying for the statue.

I asked my girlfriend about what the hell makes Argonians so popular.

She said because they look a hell of a lot cooler than before.

So, New Egg had it $12 off for three days only a few days back. Odd choice. I'm assuming we'll see another price drop.

There's nothing in the lore that says that.

You don't need to be dragonborn to learn the Thu'um.

But, it was never said also that only Nords can use it.

It'd be pretty damn stupid if only Nords got those abilities.

Luckily, Bethesda isn't stupid. Well, they are sometimes. (Horse Armor, anyone?)

But they're pretty damn smart most of the time. (The Shivering Isles. anyone?)

Since I've never played an Elder Scrolls game before, yes.

One of my characters will be a Nord for that reason as well. Also probably a Breton pure mage and an Argonian.

Funnily enough, my girl mentioned Bretons as well.
