In my case it's either a dunmer assassin who dual wields short daggers/short swords and has a knack for alchemy and illusion, or a breton conjurer that specializes in frost spells.

Usually I would go for the former, but the spell animations and sounds are so meaty this time around, that it's making the decision really hard.

HELL YES.

I still remember that console command- g_saberrealisticcombat. Thats one thing thats always bothered me in Star Wars games- you have a damn lightsaber. Its going to chop stuff up! The Jedi Knight games were so much fun. Its a shame LucasArts hasn't made a decent game in ages.

I have pre-loaded the game a
while ago. A few minutes ago Steam updated it with another 2.8MB. I
wonder if this is a patch?


Yeah, I just noticed that too. Pretty small patch if it is one.

I loved the old jedi knight games. Wish they would make a modern one.


This.

I can't say I can think of many companies offhand who I would trust to replicate the joy that was DF:JK and JK2 though. There must be some, surely.

I heard rumblings a while back that LA are planning on another Republic Commando game, if that proves to be the case then any hope that they would bring the JK series back (what with the popularity of cinematic FPS style games at the moment) seems futile. Alas.

On topic: Whilst my copy was dispatched yesterday it is looking extremely unlikely that I will have my new PC in time to play it on Friday. Which is lame but gives me some extra time to finish up some other games before Skyrim takes over at least.

How do people prefer experiencing the game first time around? As a fearless warrior charging into new areas, or as a careful (slightly paranoid) sneaky type who takes extra time creeping through unexplored locales?  It could go either way for Mages.


WHAAAAAAAAAAAT! You best not be getting my hopes up mate. :(

On topic. I like to play a as a warrior but not fearless. In fact my oblivion sword and shield imperial was afraid of caves. A bit hard to do a few quests.

To get him to go into caves, he had to drink and toss houseware items (like forks and cups) at the foot of a cave. Certainly made it interesting.

I'll deffinitely play a rogue/mage since Bioware had absolutely no love for that character concept in Dragon Age. But I also want to make a Nordic war priest, a Breton knight, a Khajiit Skooma dealer/smuggler and an Altmer Spellsword...not to mention an evil assassin rogue/warrior. Gahh...I'll have about eight characters at least.

The Skyrim manual doesn't explain the leveling mechanics very well. It just says you need to increase a random combination of skills a number of times. Strangely enough it mentions if you increase skills that are already high, you'll level up faster... if ANY skill increase counts towards leveling, leveling up could go lightning quick.

Also, for those that will play with a lowly fighter character, active shield bash is in.

...Yeah, no good LucasArts and/or Star Wars games (*wistfully remembers when the two weren't synonymous*) since 2003. (2005 if you count KotOR2 for what it is in part and could have been in total.) (And scarcely any bad ones either.) Every time I think about it I want to cry. :( The thought of no worthwile non-mod space combat sim since 1999 however actually even manages to almost make me cry for real. Twelve. Frakking. Years. :crying:

It is a shame really. Huge potential but they do not seem it care. Mass Effect + Jedi Knight = awesomeness.

 And SWTOR doesn't seem anywhere near fun as Jedi Knight...:crying:

They should have implemented some JK-styled (art-and-animations-wise) only-auto-attack(s) (though different kinds) new dynamic adrenaline-ridden battle system, instead of cloning WOW on it (or at least I think they're doing that - why'd Zeschuk think Wow to be a formula of perfection otherwise)...

Pretty much the same for me, except she will most liekly be female and instead of alchemy and illusion she will use destruction and illusion.

Do you think the average BW fan will enjoy Skyrim? I'm a bit worried that the lack of structure (i.e. open world) may frustrate me and become tedious. As they say, it may be overwhelming. For better or worse, BW games definitely have structure.


I'm A BW fan and have played DAO as well as for DA2 DA 2  was a big let down in most aspects of the game. The manager @ a local Gamestop recomended TES games to me and they are great. Took me over 300 hours of game play just to get through the vanilla version of Oblivion. I'm looking forward to tomorro night for Skyrim.

Since we're at it again, I feel like gushing once more about my Son of Skyrim:
My first/main will be a sword and fire wielding rebel Nord man with dexterous fingers and a silver tongue. So One-Handed, Destruction, Lockpicking, Speech and one more skill each in Warrior and Mage (most likely Heavy Armor and Restoration)*.
As a secondary char I'll play a male Khajiit thief/assassin.
And further down on my list I have one archetypal woman for each of the four Mer races, a male Argonian assassin/thief and a not yet fully planned man for each of the three Man races other than Nord.

edit: *Or maybe Light Armor and Smithing after all? Argh. Can't decide.

My first guy is going to be a male Nord warrior. I know what he looks like for the most part, but I've not yet figured out for sure what direction I'm going to take him as far as skills go - however, I do know that he'll join the Companions and the Stormcloaks, and will become a werewolf.

Anyway, I think I'm probably going to go with my traditional heavy armored, sword-and-shield warrior with some knowledge of destruction, restoration, lockpicking, speech, and now smithing - but it's not set in stone, as I'm still looking into the different skills, perks, etc.

Here, take a look at this. It's slightly more in-depth:

uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Leveling

Great website in general... they seem to have a fair bit of info about the game available.

Well now I sure hope that Bioware don't expect lots of folks to show up @ it. Especially since Skyrim comes out Friday and lots of folks will be to involved with it. If it's anything like DA2 turned out to be you won't be missing anything.<LOL>

Anyway, *Ejem*, two things:

1) FINALLY! i beated Battlefield 3's horrendous Campaign(somebody needs to tell DICE to not make SPs anymore), and Now i can jump into Skyrim like i Want to.
YES!.

2)i don't know if anybody has at this point, but i thought i'd drop this here:
mygaming.co.za/news/features/10143-The-Elder-Scrolls-retrospective.html

It's a Retrospective of TES, from Arena(the one who started it all), through Morrowind(Largely Considered the Best in The Series), all the way to Oblivion.

It's an interesting Retrospective, it's not very long(for those who don't really want to read.... i dunno, 50 pages of....things), and for those who are relatively(or completely) new to the series, this can be a good read if you wanna know more about the Origins of this Series.

Why did i put this here?
I Don't know, i just thought it would be interesting.

I swear, if Battlefield 3 was rated solely by multiplayer, it would get tons of perfect reviews. And of course, Daggerfall FTW

On the PC? Talk about adding insult to injury.
