restart steam, click onto skyrim in library, and click the pre-load icon

I got the strategy guide too comes with a map with all locations on it

But that just starts downloading the game.

I can't download it it as I only have a 512k connection.

KiiYzOo · 10 Nov 2011 at 18:08

it will probably still have to download from steam

You can put the key in and pre-load it now. It's what I'm doing as I type this (68% @ 1.7MB/s).

That's why I asked about installing it from the disc.

Lucky you, I download at 40kbs

It would take me days to get it. I guess I'll just have to wait until 12. Unless there's another way to install it.

You'll probably get a message saying the game hasn't been released yet if you try installing it from disc. One of my mates made that mistake instead of putting the key straight into Steam like I did.

KiiYzOo · 10 Nov 2011 at 18:11

my download speed just took a dive bomb down to 200kb/s :mad:

Creelers · 10 Nov 2011 at 18:13

6 hours.

I've got the catheter under the desk.

I'm ready.

BriT · 10 Nov 2011 at 18:14

Is it worth playing previous versions like Oblivion? or can i just jump straight into Skyrim?

KiiYzOo · 10 Nov 2011 at 18:15

you can just jump straight in

IS there anyway to install the game from the disc so I'm ready to play at 12? I attempted to install it but it cancels my install as 'the game isn't out yet'

Here dude

Can this be played as 3rd person too? It seems quite confusing from the video reviews.. as some of the action is in 1st person and some of it is in 3rd person? also can you just explore (free roam) if you want to or do you have to follow missions?

CaptainRAVE · 10 Nov 2011 at 18:23

Certainly is getting some impressive reviews!

Would anyone that has already unlocked be willing to share their VPN details? Go on, do a good dead for the day

shopto are very impressive. Ordered Wednesday and I have it in my hands now, great stuff.

cHk4 · 10 Nov 2011 at 18:28

Ok guys, I'm not really sure what to go. I started the game as a Melee/Shield guy, used my fire loads and that was cool. Now I've learn you can conjure up swords and stuff and also get things to fight for you... Is magic a good way to go? There were a few fights were I felt if I wasn't melee I couldn't kill them.

Meh I don't know, what is a good race for a mage type char?

So I pre-ordered from OcUK, selected the free shipping which was 1st class and I just checked my order now to see that the shipping method is actually DPD next day. Is this correct? Very nice of them to make it DPD if it is I must say.

Was cracked for PC couple of hours ago.

My Tesco order didn't come today, so hopefully in the morning.

Not all that surprising tbh.
