Thanks for sharing all the great pics. I so hope that 11/11 gets here soon. I so want to play it.

Cmessaz/RPGamer13- Will have to admit that I like the fact that Steam remembers your password for you that sure helps out allot. Especially when we've got so many to remember as it is now.<G> Also glad to hear that Steam don't flood you with junkmail. What does steam do dump everything into one folder no matter how many games you buy from them? I wouldn't like that there at all.


Don't worry about any of that stuff. The only real downside to Steam is the patching system. If the game updates and you can't play...well, I used to weep for Civilization 5, but now it works. And I guess the region locking can be an issue too. And sometimes I've gone for months without being able to download a game for whatever reason.

No, what he meant to say was that instead of (for example):

C:/Program Files (x86) / Bioware / MassEffect
C:/Program Files (x86) / Bethesda / Oblivion

the individual folders for each game are located in:

C:/Program Files (x86) / Steam / Common / Steamapps / MassEffect
C:/Program Files (x86) / Steam / Common / Steamapps / Oblivion

As for automatic updates, you can also set any of your games to not update automatically, if you prefer to wait to read about new patches before deciding whether you want to update or not.

Right. But if you need to reinstall your game, it will update automatically, so it's still an issue then.

Man, everytime I read this kind of stuff, I want to get Skyrim really badly. But I was never able to get into Morrowind or Oblivion because I hated the combat. I really need to find a way to make this game work for me. I so hope a V.A.T.S. mod is doable.

The world genuinely already feels like it is dozens of times more alive than IV. The attention to detail and the most basic of things seems astounding.

Whenever I can summon a dragon, I'm going to go up to one of those bonfires the giants make and call it in. I also can't wait to explore the depths of the waters. Not sure if I'm going to have many companions at all following me, maybe here and there.

Nice. Mehrune's Razor was my one of my favorite weapons, after Sufferthorn. I probably won't use it, burning things with my mind and all that, but having a handy blade is nice. What I liked the most was the College of Winterhold part, though. It was very odd that you could be Archmage without casting a single spell in Oblivion.

I've read a review talking about reanimating corpses of warriors and wolves, and for some reason this made Conjuration very alluring. I wasn't planning to use it until now.

What exactly have you heard about the College of Winterhold? I've been kind of in the dark on Skyrim.

Also, is it true that greaves and cuirasses have been combined into a single "suit" of armor?

Nice to see that Beth has released another PC screenshot:

Nothing, really. I was assuming it was Skyrim's Mage's Guild, and this confirms it, but that's all.

There is a new screen on Facebook of the PC wielding a sword and spell and an orc blocking or swinging up close with what looks like a steel mace. On my smartphone but can't post it. There is also a brief comment section from critics gawking over Skyrim, receiving maximum praise from Destructoid and one source commenting on 'epic storyline'.

Wanted to get the word out if anybody wanted to post it...

***EDIT*** if posted by somebody else, i still want a partial cookie. It's about time I step up and find something!! :P

It is amazing. I'm certainly not regretting preordering this for the PC. Besides, I will almost certainly want to use mods at some point, and in case they do mess up level scaling or something, we'll still have options.

PS: I have a 360 and a PS3 as well. I don't hate consoles. I just want this particular game for the PC.

I never said I know I won't regret it later, after all who knows what might happen. But I don't regret it now.

Naughty99/jonp382- Well since I've pre-orded the hard copy from Gamestop I don't have to worry about steam installing the game in a paticular directory which I'm glad of due to the fact that I don't install none of my games on the C:\\ drive never have. More and likely I'll haver auto updates turned off. I like to know whats being installed on my system before it's installed. After all got to much money invested in it for anything to happen to it.<G>

As for Skyrim itself I see already that there is one thing I'm not going to like about the game at all. The fact that they've combined Greaves/cuirass' This is the way for which the one set of armor is that you get depending on which side you help in SI and the reason for which I don't wear it is because it's all one. At least if you've got them as two seperate Items likey the are in Oblivion you can mix and match them to your likeing and change one or they other out to suit your needs @ a paticular time. The only thing for which combining them does is makes it to where it takes up less slots in the inventory and meant less work for the developers.

BTW does anyone know if they've said whether or not we'll be able to enchant items with more than one enchantment?
