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

[Scutch]

Anyone finished it yet?

 

[Rob]

Must be half asleep. LOL

 

[richo]

Really unsure whether to get this or not for xbox - it does look good but I just don't know whether it will be my type of game, I've never played fallout or similar.

 

[Jonnio]

Check out some gameplay vids? If you've never played anything from Bethesda before then it's worth a shot.

Mine's just come, shame it's going to be put away for my birthday.

 

[Sargara]

PC will s**t all over the 360 graphically

Plus, K+M > 360 pad for these sort of games

Not to mention that if this turns out anything like Oblivion did then the modding community will be all over this game releasing new weapons, armor, texture packs etc.

Yea had a look at a 45min one today from first part of the game - it does look very good. Will probably give it a try once i've decided whether to keep mw3 or not will decide how soon I get it.

You can use console commands to give yourself money or any item you wish too, don't think consoles can do that?

I've played a couple of hours now and I'm really into it, only on the second main quest but I've been doing a few side quests mostly.

Currently working with the companions.

I may have to get this and therefore neglect all of the 8 games I've bought in the last month.

 

[Damo_Sport]

Like I said its 36.99 for xbox and ps3 in sainsburys as I picked up one today

Decrypting is so slooow

 

[Scutch]

I'm going to have to buy this tomorrow.

....currently got 18mins, 31secs to wait until I try this. Steam's doing a healthy download rate.

Paid full whack for it (£34.99) - but it's got 95/100 on metacritic which Steam links too. Only the original Bioshock, and of course, Half-Life 2 have scored higher on there at 96/100.

I loved Fallout 3, but I hate orcs and elves and all that balls.

This isn't for me is it?

 

[Darren S]

Wow - pretty impressive player stats on Steam.....

[z8jay]

Looks quite nice on PC when maxed out, shame mine won't run it at more than 20fps :boring:

 

[iain187]

I went chasing a deer thingy and ended up on top of a mountain

 

[Darren S]

Anyone else notice the 2GB patch for it?! Nearly 5GB download for the main game, then 20mins later - another 2GB. Lol.

Can't say I have

My Steam files are still sat at 5.7gb

Loving it so far, haven't done much of the storyline yet, I'm in a fort near Whiterun killing bandits.. so much stuff to do on the way to quests

[silentsnake]

I'm stuck on a puzzle thingy on a door where you have to twist each ring and line them up right. Has an eagle symbol, wolf and a dragon, help :dapprove:

 

[Lee.]

Might have to get this from Game today, £4.99 when trading in batman ac.

 

[Spiezels]

[AK]

Do you have the golden claw and the book from that guy in the cobwebs?

 

[Addicted]

It's Owl, Butterfly bear (or Owl, Bear, Buttefly)

 

[Damo_Sport]

I'm on 10 hours so far.... Sooo many side quests its awesome

 

[tyranical]

Has anyone else hit that awkward moment when they realise their life and skyrim have become one?

I've played it all day and only done one quest.

 

[Darren S]

He stated he would be more accurate over range with twiddling his thumbs on some contraption. I said that mouse accuracy would prove he was clearly wrong. Oh well...

[Damo_Sport]

Just spent 5000gold on buying a house. No idea what it does but hopefully I can keep items in it

Any error codes or anything? I've had that twice where it simply closes down to the Steam library screen. No bitching or fatal errors or anything. It's almost like I've told the game to close itself?

Exactly that

I've never played any of the Elder Scrolls but this looks pretty fun. Is it worth getting?

 

[iain187]

not had any bug/glitch issues... until now!

Yes that's a mamoth

Flying mammoths? What's the problem?

Only at Level 3 at the minute - but pmsl at shooting a giant in the nuts and then legging it. The fecker chased me for ages - despite putting 18 arrows into him. Managed to get back to town where the local Bobbies got a kicking....

.... just so I could be Hero Of The Moment and finish him off with some toasty hands.

[Damo_Sport]

So what sorta perks are people going for atm?

Im level 12 atm and been going down the one handed sword/shield/heavy armour route.. Rather just bash the hell out of the f*****s and juse use healing after ive killed em to gain health..

 

[Cookie]

I'm level 12 too, one handed sword + shield ftw

 

[Scutch]

TBH, flying mammoths aren't a problem in a world where magic and illusion are paramount.
