The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Sure, it’s fun to play, didn’t say it was bad, just that it’s not as good as GTA (I don’t care for either, just cool to rent one for cheap thrills). Yes, maybe it is a version, but one could also compare it to imitation meat…like veggie burgers :).

Skyrim!!

I knows a slur when I see one :smiley:

There, that’ll calm you down.

The perk list has been leaked on the official forums.

It looks interesting.
For example: instead of the Fallout grenade-in-pocket gag, there’s a perk that’ll let you slip some poison into someone’s pocket. Or the master light armor perk that avoids all damage 1-in-10 hits.

I’m sorry. I’m just a little excited that I get to have sex and skyrim on the same day. I’ll behave now. :slight_smile:

In that case, congratulatory mood is perfectly warranted.

But if you had to choose?

Good news for PC Skyrim gamers:

We’re officially getting:

  • Higher Rez textures
  • Larger render modes (don’t know what this means).
  • Mod tools (tes toolset)
  • Custom UI built for PC (no more garishly large fonts and sub-sub menus!)
  • DX 11 renderer, but no DX 11 specific features. So faster than DX 9, but no extra eye candy.

Can you push for the three 'S’es? Sex, Skyrim and a (succulent) steak?

Difficult to say - do I get to play Skyrim ever in this scenario? Like the next day? If so I’d pick the sex, it’s with a particularly hot fuck bud and I haven’t seen him in ages.

You know what, I think I probably could :slight_smile:

Ah, but you can do all three in Skyrim itself, so, therefore, you can have your cake and eat it too…

Of course, nothing could ever be better than doing all three at once, a steak next to you while having sex and playing Skyrim. While this may be difficult to pull off, the person who does should get a special prize from Bethesda. Oh, and if anyone does, please post a video of it happening…um…we need proof…that’s all :D.

SKYRIM!

Good news for 360 Skyrim gamers:

Skyrim may have advantages over PC on the console.

(yes, I know I’m a douche, but I’m a funny douche, so Denis Leary would like me :D.

Well I can see how that’s good for the developers… not sure how it translates to the xbox 360 gamer.

high rez textures, super fast load times, better graphics, 60+ FPS, these are actual improvements.

That the devs know their way around a 6 year old console doesn’t mean anything to anyone but them.

New videos from the devs: The World of Skyrim, including some stuff on the conflict between the Stormcloaks for Skyrim’s independence and the Imperial Legion for the Empire.
The Sound of Skyrim with a look at the music, including that kick arse main theme, and some of the voice actors.

Apparently the game’s already being sold in Holland, although PC players still have to wait for Steam to unlock it.

Steam says release is on the 10th now. Weird.

What do you think that gives you as the end user? How is your experience any better that the programmers were able to save a few lines of code? Maybe the memory reading subsystem is 2% faster on a system that’s 90% slower anyway?

This is probably a worst attempt than argumentum ad furniture.

Most likely they mean for pre-load. They usually let you pre-load the games a day before, so you can get it downloaded and installed and be ready to play when the game is officially released. I’m planning to stay get thing going early on the 10th to make sure I kick off the download and can get it all down and installed before the 11th, since it’s probably going to be huge.

It’s supposed to be about 6GB. With my slow-ass connection I’m glad I’m getting it on DVD, but hopefully it won’t need a huge patch right away.

Yeah, it’s going to be a monster. I figure if I wait up until midnight on Wednesday I can kick it off before I go to bed, and it should be down before I go to bed Thursday night, so I can install it and be ready to go when they open it up Friday morning. That’s the plan anyway.

Is Valve’s definition of midnight the same as yours or mine? They used to be based on Australia time, not sure what they do now.

Well, I was able to do this with Rage and Stronghold 3, so I’m hoping it works here as well. I’m not sure what time zone they are on…it might be that I could kick off the download earlier than mid-night my time. Anyone know?
