You heard me.

Now I have to go back, find my old oblivion files, try to close all of those oblivion gates...ugh, they all got to looking the bloody same after a while... -_-

Anyway, rejoice! Here is the debut teaser:

Went into GameStop today and asked about pre ordering. They told me it'd be 3 euro. Is this 3 euro then deducted off the final purchase price?

Yes, and 3 euro is the least you can pay, I payed for it straight up so i just have to walk into the store and I'll get it handed to me for free now because i payed for it weeks ago.

Are people really that bothered about a map? :eek:

YES GOD DAMNIT.

also a pretty belated HEADS UP to the collector folk: I already missed out AND I WORK AT THE STORE, but stores are getting floor-height skyrim statues for the launch.

You should be able to go into the stores that will be carrying the statue and get dibs on them. Speak to the managers.

Works at Best Buy anyway, we've been doing it for years. Mainly on cardboard cutouts for movie releases. We set Justin Beiber on fire though. Nobody wanted him. Nobody loved him.

well f**k... id easily pay a weeks wages for that bronze statue

I preordered mine in HMV Liffey Valley yesterday. I wasn't asked to pay anything up front.

One week to go people, is it wrong to be this excited at my age!?

Sesudra

Not at all, I'm the same! My OH even knows the name of it at this stage,he said to me yesterday "I won't be seeing you for a while when it comes out,will I?"

Now just have to decide whether to get it on Xbox or PS3

Christopher Plummer sounds great as well.

Thanks for that Kiith - was a good watch. I must admit I was one of those complaining about Oblivion's voice acting (lack of variety especially) so that was very reassuring. Nice to see the cast put a bit of oomph into it too... always felt Liam Neeson phoned it in for FO3.

Would you recommend getting this for xbox or pc?

I'd like to play it on my tv so thinking xbox might be better. Or would it work fine if I hooked my laptop up to the tv? I've never tried that with a game before.

From what I gather the main reason for getting the pc version is the mods, and better graphics depending on your specs.

The thing is I've never used mods in a game before so not sure if I would this time either. And my laptop is probably going to run it on medium settings (have a Nvidia GT555m). How would that compare to the consoles?

get it for pc, hook said pc up to tv through a hdmi cable, plug in a 360 contoller,..... ?, profit

seriously that shouldnt even be a question you should be asking if you have a pc good enough to run at least medium, mods will be insane for this game, anything you want but isnt in the game will probably be modded in

osh

Thanks yeah you're probably right. I guess it's just because I've never used mods in a game before.

I'll go and purchase now. Any good places to pre-order for pc? I read you get a map with Amazon I think?

osh wrote: »

Thanks yeah I checked a link to another forum earlier in this thread and it should run it at a medium or medium/high setting.

I was just wondering do you think it's better to get the pc version even if I don't plan on using mods?

oh.....I'm not sure,I'd say go with console and play on a big screen if you have one.then again the pc version is cheaper,you've no interest in mods no?

Sephiroth_dude

Ya Ignore what I said above and go with what Icyseanfitz said

Cheers guys, that's why I edited following seeing Icyseanfitz's post, no arguing with that

You need a special cable to get a 360 controller to work on pc don't you? The ordinary charge ones don't work as far as I know.

From a (very) quick google the other day, I think you just need to download some program to your pc, no cables needed.

But I haven't tried it yet so I could be wrong

Grab one of these and pretty much all 360 peripherals will work.

[edit] If you want it for Skyrim though, grab it from somewhere than where I linked. Dealextreme are great and all, but delivery can be 2-3 weeks.

Icyseanfitz

yeah should be easy enough, although i just have a wired 360 controller which is brilliant as i can just plug it straight in and have no battery worries

seriously i would advise ye to get one

you can get a wireless adaptor to get the wireless ones to work, as the charge cable doesnt seem to carry the data connections. Unfort dont know if theres a cable that does.. please link if you find one though! The wireless adaptors appear to burn out over time (few years), cba buying another..

The wired xbox controllers work without issue

Kiith

I've the wireless transmitter for the pc as well, and it works perfectly. Highly recommended. The PS3 joypad works without any extra hardware though. You can just download an application to configure it.

osh

Good stuff, just picked up this one here as well as the game itself!

Motioninjoy its called for whoever is interested. Tried it myself and it works, but being a recent keyboard convert I don't see myself going back to the joypad (cracked solder joints in my PS3 kind of made the decision for me

No kidding.

There is a great video up on gametrailers.com of a panel of gaming head honcho's at PAX.

They had Todd Howard(Elder scrolls), Ken Levine(Bioshock), and David Jaffe(God of War). They got their opinions on all things gaming and let the audience ask questions.

All it served to do was highlight how much smarter Todd Howard and Ken Levine are and how much of a moron Jaffe is. I liked God of War, but when you hear the guy talk you realise how he stumbled onto it and he won't have another mega hit again. You could tell the other two had vision..... and he just had guts and boobs. Howard was talking about how to build a game people want to play and Jaffe was just waffling nonsensically.

I hope Skyrim and Bioshock infinite sell millions and millions of copies because the industry needs guys like this.

Does any one know if any where is having a midnight opening for Skyrim?
