I havent found any threads about this, so I'mma go ahead and make one. This forum is SERIOUSLY lacking in Skyrim action. Who else is excited for the return of The Elder Scrolls? This installment is going to be HUGE! The graphics are absolutely stunning, the gameplay was pushed over the top and the world is just so immersive and massive!

Spoiler:

So if you are interested in Skyrim, what race are you going to pick for your first play through and what are you going to be? I'm going to play as an Argonian thief and use swords, bows and magic. I am completely stoked for this game!

First character is going to be an argonian theif using bows only. Not sure what my other characters are gonna be. I never liked using magic in TES. Also, I can't help but laugh every time I see your avatar

My second playthrough will probably be a Khajiit warrior. The magic in Skyrim looks way too good to pass up. You don't just have fireballs and frost balls. You can actually hold down the button and make a flame thrower or... frost thrower I guess. We can finally be Darth Sidious from Star Wars and continuously shock the crap outta people with two hands! And I love my avatar :3

Fucking goddamn hell yes I am! Wood Elf bow/mayyyyyybe dagger user for my first playthrough. Ohhhhhhh...A sneaking I will go, a sneaking I will go, my bow I'll marry oh, a sneaking I will goooo. Yeah, I'm excited.

Awesome! Wood Elves look a lot more badass in Skyrim than in Oblivion. In Oblivion they were like 4 ft tall and you just kicked them around, but in Skyrim it looks like they're as tall as everyone else and a force to be reckoned with! Argonians and Khajiit also got a major overhaul and Orcs no longer look like wtf creatures anymore. And the face paint returns! And beards! And dragons! By Azura this game will be amazing!

Ill probably use what i used before, a Kain, from LoK, lookalike.

likewise, a long two handed sword. Claymores ftw!

27 days left people! WEWT!

I'm starting to second guess myself of what race I want to be now. Arg! They all look so amazing! I'm torn between Argonian, Khajiit and Orc now!

i played it just the other day, for ps3, and obviously its pretty awesome.

looks alright, not too much improvement from oblivion.

the gameplay is awesome. i noticed a few things similar to fallout new vegas, which i havent played, but watched a bit of. the lock picking for instance, and there are these awesome kill sequences.

now im gonna become a vampire at some point.

you are also able to become a werewolf, for you lychan fans. team jacob or whatever.

i heard you could do that in morrowind, which i havent played, but its probably pretty close to it.

i cant wait to see what they look like in skyrim though. i only got so far. i was playing til like 4 in the morning...

i got to kill my first dragon though.

but anyway, its pretty fucking cool, and im gonna buy it soon...possibly, i dont want to spend too much.

anyone else play it?

I think the game is pretty frickin amazing. It's so easy to just get lost in the world and blow your whole day away just exploring. The other day, a Draugr and I had a swift team-up to take down a Frost Dragon. It was insane!

Another quest started with a guy challenging me to a drinking contest and apparently I passed out, proposed to a Hagraven, planned the wedding in some other dimension, left before the wedding, stole some guys goat, sold it to a giant and trashed a temple all in one night and didn't remember any of it. It was the most hilarious quest I've ever done XD

Graphics are pretty impressive as well as the draw distance and animations. Everything flows nice and smoothly. I recommend it.

Apparently most, if not all, of Tamriel is in Skyrim. Check it out: http://www.psxextreme.com/ps3-news/10228.html

That's pretty cool. Tamriel is really shrinking fast. The Argonians took over Morrowind and seceded from the empire. The Khajiits followed, pulling Elseweyr with them. And the Nords might pull Skyrim away. Tamriel is now nothing but Cyrodill, High Rock, Hammerfell, Summerset Isles and Valenwood then.

dont worry, i can probably do the same thing with re related info.

and while i love oblivion, and i loved the small bit i played of skyrim, im just not THAT into it. or at least didnt care to become privy to the story and settings like that.

I'm still lacking on a couple of RE details. I don't know what Survivor is about... other than that I think I'm decent on RE info. I wish I could find a decent quiz online so I could test myself Razz

I must admit to overhyping Skyrim. I got it, played for about a week and became bored with it.

Hey if you're bored with it, send that thing my way.

tbh, i feel like ive pretty much hit the ceiling with re.

i still love it, and its my favorite series, but right now i own and have completed all of em. minus gaiden, but that game is a load of ridiculous.

otherwise the new stuff is something to look forward to.

mainly though, this forum allows me to stay keen and interested with all the re stuff.
