No, but I've been a massive Fallout fan since Fallout 1 so I'm willing to give Elder Scrolls a try since I really dig the engine.

Oh, and thanks Rex!

Man you should really play Oblivion if you haven't yet. It's one of the best games on the system (If not the best IMO).

I think I have them all. I went to go back and do some sidequests and I accidentally deleted my save.


I thought about restarting but 150+ hours of work is not in the cards right now for a game I already beat.

Maybe I'll pick it up... Should I grab the standard or GOTY edition?

Wait... the game of the year edition has the horse armour? How come I never knew about this?

Whore's Armor?

Thinking about getting the PC version of this game. I have a feeling it will be worth it graphics-wise Never did go back and finish Oblivion though. Think it might do that once I get windows installed on my iMac.

Re: Elder Scrolls V

Man, this game is sounding so good!!! Can't wait till November!

Re: Elder Scrolls V

This might be the first game of theirs i might finish.

Re: Elder Scrolls V

All that info from PSMag sounds awesome! Especially the economy part, and the dragons not just being a simple add on, and actually quite complex in a way.

I must have spent at least 50 hours on Oblivion when I first got it years back, and I loved Fallout 3 and New Vegas. I seriously cannot wait for Skyrim. I'd happily pay double retail to play this now.

I would have pre-ordered this on day one but I'm hoping for a Collector's Edition of sorts to be released.

Re: Elder Scrolls V

this will be an epic game...my most anticipated up-coming release. In the meantime, enjoying Witcher 2 - great plot, gameplay, and graphics - but no where as grand or "epic" as Skyrim will be I think.

Re: Elder Scrolls V

How is character customization? Can we manipulate musculature? How about faces?

 

[vareika]

Re: Elder Scrolls V

also, can you pan around and see your char? I never played Oblivion but watched a friend play a little bit and all I saw was his hands.

This is possible in Oblivion as well. You can choose between 1st person and 3rd person view. As far as I know this will be again the case in Skyrim.
