The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim announced

I creamed my pants when I heard about skyrim, looks like that new pc build is on hold until November, hopefully it wil coincide with new graphics card and CPU releases :)
 
My only fear is because they have to make a console version of it they might not fullfill it's potential on the pc so they can port it to consoles easier, and by the time it's released xbox 360 will be getting on for nearly a decades old technology
 
I will preorder this no matter what.

I just hope they steer away from silly DLC and "bonus items".

What they did last time was fine (apart from the horse amour). I don't want there being a special sword if you pre order from steam and a special shield if you pre order from overclockers etc.

And please - NO DIGITAL DELUXE version. Collectors edition is fine though.
 
Like someone else said eariler, i'll play it sometime later when

a) I'll have a PC to do it justice

b) GOTY edition comes out with all the DLC included

I still have Morrowind to start properly and there's plenty of juice left in Oblivion (I still haven't started the Knights of Nine or Shivering isles despite playing for over 100 hours)

Well i think they learnt there lesson from Oblivion since most of the minor crappy DLCs weren't exactly popular, unlike Shivering Isles, the giant expansion, and Knights of the Nine, a fairly large DLC.

Preorder bonus'... we can only hope. Though if they did make such a thing i don't doubt they'd all be available on torrent sites or made via mods before the weekend.
 
This game is going to be a day 1 purchase for me. I think Bethesda Softworks and Bioware make some of the best RPGs out there and I must have spent 100+ hours each on both Oblivion and Fallout 3 lol.

Add another 100+ hours to Dragon Age (which is heavily underated IMO).

+1

This and Mass Effect 3 will be the only day 1 purchases for me this year. All others I will pick up in the bargain bin a month later.
 
I can't wait, I got every achievement for Oblivion It's my favourite game ever :P
I really don't want to mod it though, i'll get bored of it.

LOL...just goes to show how people have different attitudes. Personally I wouldn't play vanilla Oblivion (or even Morrowind) and it was modding that made it a half decent game.

Has there been any news about whether ES V will have a construction set? If not I almost certainly wont be playing it.

It doesn't even make sense. Achievements imply Xbox version which means modding wasn't even possible so the statement is completely moot.

You mean the 'Fan' when you win the Arena? He was funny :p

I think Neil79 posted about the mod tools earlier

Mod tools make the world better, says Bethesda's community manager.

Elder Scrolls developer Bethesda has confirmed that it will release a new set of mod tools for the upcoming fifth game in the series, Skyrim. Bethesda has a history of encouraging player-made content, stretching back nearly ten years.

Writing on the official Bethesda blog, community manager Nick Breckon joked that science had proven that mod tools made the world just that little bit more special. Not only did they make modders happy, they also made players happy because they got more content for their games, and it made the developers happy to see the modders gain experience.

The new tools will be called the "Creation Kit," which refers to Bethesda's new Creation engine, and is rather apt, considering what they're for. Breckon said that he didn't have any more details to reveal about the kit right now, other than the fact it existed, but said that the tools would be very powerful. Modders have used Bethesda's tools for Morrowind and Oblivion to create new dungeons, new items, new playable races, and even entirely new features like dancing and smoking. Hopefully the new tools will be just as versatile.
