The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

So I already had a glitch happen to me. Trying to be as spoiler free as possible, but the part where you insert the key and have to rotate the rings, they were stuck and wouldn't move. I had to save and reload for them to start moving. Looking at the gamefaqs board, apprently I'm not the only one.

So i've been trying to kite kill a giant at level 2, takes forever with the spells I have atm, don't know if this is a bug, but if you get killed by a giants club swing you get catapulted 100 feet in the air..

And it's not like the direction you should be going after being hit, i'm talking straight vertical like you're being sent to heaven.

Yeah, it's a bug.

So first impressions guys? I see alot of bugs/glitches being mentioned :(

Basically if you're playing this on PC you pre-ordered it for nothing

Think im going to wait a week for patches, or something.

It's near to bug-free on the PS3 for me. Just started lagging once, but was fixed when I restarted.

Im def getting mine on ps3 lol

Started steam download at 10pm with 4 hours remaining... 7am = 1 hour remaining.... Today I wake up a sad panda. ; ;

Wait till you actually play it, will it work? Or will you be one of the thousands of PC players going "Wtf?"?

Nothing is perfect when it first comes out. Especially a game that massive.

I take it you got screwed?

I agree, a game so inredibly big and detailed is bound to have a glitch here and there BUT the glitches/bugs being mentioned are fundamentals that should have been tested and sorted long before release.

I just KNOW I'm going to end up regretting saying this, but I've been playing on PC since yesterday and I haven't really had any problems yet.

This is so good o.o and yeah I did the audio trick to fix the PC problem. Worked fine after that.

This is a traditional RPG, no? Not an online one? I haven't looked much into it but keep hearing good things. may want to download it

Yup, not online. To me, it feels like the oldest of old-school, like the original Dragon Warrior, where you were this one hero battling the world, but mixed with the newest technology and unfathomable depth. See that mountain over there on the horizon? Yeah, you can climb it. That sort of thing.

Need some help for anyone who's done some of the quests.. Nothing really spoiler-y about what I'm going to ask, but gonna put it into spoilers anyways.

I got it off steam, took about 4hrs to download. tried to play the game windowed but it kept crashing me when loading every time, full screen was NP.
Max settings where somewhat ok, lil frame skip here and there, so bumped it down a notch, comp just squirms a little when changing areas. seems ok overall, got a level up and dont know how to specialize my character :/

Uh, you mean the love triangle thing going on there?

Ok got mine installed etc, is there anyway i can change it so i don't need to use the mouse to move the screen, ive looked in the settings and can't see anything.

Short of going out to buy a 360 pad from the local store is there anyway to change this to say the keypad arrow keys ?

Yeah, that.

She should be in the inn. She's the innkeepers's sister.

Damnit I looked there, I didn't see her. Guess she was out roaming around?

My own ignorance aside, requiring an offline single player game to have steam is just *** HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE no matter how you look at it. What reason could they have possibly had to make you need it just to play?
We should be back soon-ish. Busy doing "Canadian stuff" (as in same thing I did back in PA, just with Skyrim now :3)

Well I got my CE last night and played a little before needing to pass out. It came in a MASSIVE box which was neatly stacked containing a rather thick art book suitable for a coffee table containing all sorts of neat information and concept art images with final results. The game with an extra disc containing a documentary on the making of, papyrus-like map of Skyrim, and lastly a badass foot-tall statue of Alduin, which I have no idea where to put now.




Anyways, here's the box at least. I'll eventually get around to making high-res scans of the book for you guys.
I'll likely be ordering the soundtrack next payday, but this one really put be back in the stoneage as far as finance goes, so don't hold your breath on me; regardless I would love to share with y'all.

Disclaimer:

By looking at PC version file size I can tell there will be tons of expansions and DLC for this game. Prepare to be ripped of every few months.

On a side note, 9 more days til Skyward Sword!
I'll also be more than happy to rip the CD of the Zelda Symphony they included in the bundle package. Any format/bitrate requests?

First thing I did after leaving the openning area was kill a bunny :D

Speaking of which, did anyone notice Archery is significantly more difficult and skilled to partake in than it was in Oblivion?
I mean it really requires you to sit still and take good aim before loosing your arrow, while in Oblivion you could dance around in circles with your string pulled back and still get a perfect shot off.

I don't have the game yet (DDD:) but it's not more difficult for me, because it glitched in my copy of Oblivion and never shot straight, it like flew off in a weird angle everytime I pulled the string back. Idk what happened to it.
