Skyrim... What will I get?

Well, you know with Oblivion, you got a map, with Morrowind, you got a map.

Yes, I am sad and have all maps (even expansion maps) up on my wall due to being one hard core TES geek... No, I don't have a life outside of my 4 walls :rolleyes:

Anyway! I can't seem to find anything confirming that the bog standard edition (not the overpriced 'this or a trip to france' edition that comes with a plastic toy).

Thanks

Pretty sure rjk (or someone else possibly) confirmed that OcUK would have a limited number of maps to give away with some of their pre-orders.

Don't think every copy will have one included from my understanding though.

I ordered mine on steam this time around, I will probably regret it as I have the morrowind and oblivion collectors editions, I just didn't want to invest the cash this time as I was disappointed with oblivion as a whole, I hope skyrim is more like morrowind, from the gameplay I have seen so far it looks excellent

*edit* from looking around most places are saying that you will get a map if you pre-order but it isn't included in the box

My mistake, should have googled from the start

It's confirmed, all orders will have a map included, pre orders seem to be coming with a nice cloth map... Not sure if I would prefer the paper or cloth... Cloth would probably end up in a frame as it will get ruined if it's hung on the wall lol.

I considered hanging the witcher 2 map on my wall for a moment, then I came to my senses

I pre-ordered mine from Zavvi ages ago so hopefully I will get a cloth map

that said I will most likely look at it once and go huh thats nice then put it in storage never to be seen again lol

Everything so far point it to playing like an Oblivion/FO3 hybrid. I preffered how Morrowind played aswell...

I have to say the only thing I really hope is that Bow & Arrows are actually worth it damage wise lol. Hate being attacked by pincushions haha!

Im pretty sure I remember reading something about the Marksmanship in Skyrim - about that they wanted to buff the damage up and make it slower. I'm sure it was with regards to a popular Oblivion mod but I cannot remember the name.

Also personally, I thought Morrowind was amazing stylistically and musically but man.. dice roll first person combat.. *shudder*
