The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim announced

[Murray]

So who here is Murray and how did you find me on Steam :x

 

[Saint1972]

Is it possible to pick up objects and move them around with the 360 controller?

Press "A" for couple of seconds

 

[Moothead2]

Pighardia, I was just wondering if you had any luck getting the guide for 9.99 from GAME today ?

 

[Dave]

Caved in and ordered the game today. I'm still running an old 5770 (don't really play games any more) and I saw that it's good enough to run the game. Goodbye second year of PhD, I only just knew you

It's so satifying when it goes to 3rd person for the kill animations, POW!!! I love it!

Aye, if only I could do it reliably .

ooo nice armour platypus are you far in ??

Er well. I've played 20 hours so far. Haven't touched the main quest .

Where'd you get that armour?

I've edited it out because the spoiler tags dont appear to work. If you want to see what it is check my version history.

 

[bhavv]

OCUK need to fix these spoiler tags !!"!

My character, still only level 5 and doing the companions quests atm:

 

[platypus]

What the hell is up with those .

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Just going about my business in a town and got attacked by a dragon - very cool

No, they were only selling it for £17.99 and they wouldn't reduce it. I did try to persuade them.

I don't really want to pay much more than a tenner tbh

 

[stoke1863]

What do people think then? Mouse & KB or X360 pad?

 

[Fenris]

Have to say, this is even better than F3, and I LOVED F3.

 

[Mr Krugga]

Much thanks for this. I've been playing it in third person for this reason.

What races/characters have people been building? Just curious

I decided to go for a Nord, and am currently working towards becoming a frost battlemage with a shield. I played a thief/assassin with a bow and dagger in Oblivion, so just fancied a change.

Dunmer - Sword+Destruction - heavy armour

I'm still considering moving to light armour.

What do people think then? Mouse & KB or X360 pad?

X360 all the way.

 

[Brummies]

What do people think then? Mouse & KB or X360 pad?

Pad all the way.

 

[Kelt]

What do people think then? Mouse & KB or X360 pad?

Pad all the way for me. Adds to the immersion factor regarding movement and vibration. Also helps that the UI was obviously designed for it.

I also turn off the quest markers, sure, makes it more difficult, again, just adds more "realism" to the game for me.

^^ How cool is that!

Spoiler

Even more so when the town start gathering around after he is killed

This game continues to impress me.

I see . In much the same position, can't justify spending over a tenner for a guide. Will have to wait for a deal on eBay or something.

Edit - Found one for 13.84. On the fence about it still but may be a price you're willing to buy at .

Here's a quick screenshot of my character in crafted dragonplate armor

 

[CaptainRAVE]

I like how this game marks areas that have been cleared - very useful!

I upgraded recently to an i5 cpu, but couldn't afford to upgrade the 5770 yet, and I'm still running everything maxed bar the AA and AF, which are down at 2x and 4x. Was very pleasantly surprised

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Wish I had gone for a spellsword build - dual-wielding is fun, but it would be nice to have more ranged power, and then a giant sword for close encounters.
