[PC/XB360/PS3] The Elder Scrolls V : Skyrim

[STRBramley]

Why are folk who started out as say, Nords, restarting due to wanting to cast spells etc. Surely any race has the power to learn magicka?

I think some races have certain perks from the outset.

 

[Damo_Sport]

Im restarting tonight even though ive pumped in 20hours..

I started out to be a warrior. then changed to warrmage.. not enjoying just blasting with mage... but alot of my perks are in one hander/shield/heavy armour

I have a few of them unusual jems but when I take them to the guy who I am meant to take them to he tells me to piss off!

Can't you just go back to the guardian stone things at the beginning and click on a new one?

 

[chriscummins7]

Argh, I need this game. How do people find shorted periods on it? I'm a bit sceptical as I can't really throw 5/6 hours at a time to my xbox.

 

[Damo_Sport]

Its a game for anyone, But don't be suprised if you get into the mind set of "Just one more quest..."

You will do. Easily.

I only play half hours at a time. On the PC its really easy to load up and just play for 10 minutes and save because everything loads so quick. But being able to put in a few hours at a time would be a definite benefit.

 

[Wilkeh]

I've noticed the loading times on the PC are pretty rapid. Also, I feel the K&M works very well, I'm not going to use the 360 pad.

This game's a f*cking masterpiece.

I passed through the starting area again last night during a Thieve's Guild quest and it's epic.

I'm currently an 80-Sneak assassin with high destructive magic skills and I'm also pretty handy with a bow.

Weird, considering I didn't intend to go that way at all.

I've only played for a couple of hours and already I can see how utterly enthralling it is.

Which race did you choose, mate? Didn't you start again?

 

[Christopher]

Yeah, although I'm playing both still.

My female Khajiit Rogue is Lv10; my Nord Assassin is Lv16 now.

Just playing the Thieve's Guild quests with the Nord at the moment. Epic quest line. Lots of skullduggery.

 

[AK]

That's super geeky playing 2 saves, lol.

 

[Christopher]

I used to play WoW, so this is nothing.

Posting this just buffed me with +40 Agility. FYI.

 

[AK]

LOL.

Yeah 2-3 saves+ is nothing really to me on this sorta game.. Considering i used to have about 4-5 alliance and 1-2 horde chars on the go all the time

But yeah the game is immense to say the least!!!

 

[Christopher]

I really like how you naturally level as you use what you want. Way better than previous systems!

 

[Scutch]

I'm going to marry that Camilla bird then smash her back doors right in.

Spoiler

I need the Amulet or Mara first, apparently. Farce.

Also, why are the guidebooks for Skyrim on Amazon going for over £100? I'm certainly not paying that much.

 

[Cookie]

Am I the only one that hasn't bought a horse yet? Despite the size of the land, everything looks too f**king fantastic to just go charging about on a horse

I have fast travelled every now and then though, natch

I was just going to say you need that first. :dapprove:

Who's Camilla? Where does she live?

Sounds pretty steep. I'm just going to use this. Should soon fill up with information and advice.

Riverwood. She's the general store owners sister. Her who those two idiots are fighting over.

 

[Christopher]

Ahh yeah. She comments on my beard every time I shop there.

I've not bothered with a horse yet.

Slayed my 3rd dragon just now, woop for days off... just gotta grind smithing for my dragon armour

 

[Scutch]

Impressive.

2011 is fast becoming the year games debuted at incredible numbers, as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim sells over 3.4 million copies at retail (not including digital sales) in its first 2 days on sale.

Up over 600% on Oblivion's modest 490k staggered opening across PS3 and X360, Skyrim will manage to outsell Oblivion as a whole in a matter of weeks. 59% of units were sold on the X360 (over 2 million copies) and 27% on the PS3, with 14% on PC.

2.5 million of the total sold in Americas, with the remaining 950,000 units in EMEAA.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has managed to beat out Gears of War 3 and Fifa Soccer 12 for first week sales, and is on par with Battlfield 3, but with only 2 days sales it's selling at a faster rate. Only Modern Warfare 3 will be ahead of Skyrim, which, for an RPG, is incredible.

Camilla is gagging for it, tbh

 

[Damo_Sport]

Im not suprised, The sorta graphics that are coming out of this game is unbeliveable

Spoiler

Just a quest yesterday where i had to head into a small cave where inside was a tree growing inside outwards through the ceiling.. and i was just like wow this looks sooo good

 

[Scutch]

Quite. I should have opted for the Sean Bean look now. He was always up to no good with the ladies in Sharpe.

 

[Wilkeh]

What are the bugs that people have been mentioning? I haven't come across any for the PC yet. I assume most have been patched up?

 

[Gareth]

I need to find a shop desperately to offload a load of valuable sh*t so I can buy a house. I've somehow managed to not find a single store so far.

[Scutch]
