5 days until Skyrim. What are you doing first?

[Jasper Jeffs]

Hope it actually gets fucking delivered on the right day. The last time I pre-ordered a game it came 4 days late. It didn't even come on Friday or Saturday, I had to wait until Monday. The worst part is my brother got the same game on Thursday, one day before the fucking release. If it does come I'll probably install it, open it up and then go ask some forums why it runs like shit, only to get the "Bethesda bro" response.

That'd be the worst case scenario anyway, hopefully it comes in time and runs fine. I'll probably just wander aimlessly around the map, I didn't even start the main story of Oblivion until over a year after release. I forgot all about it, I entered the portal thing, thought "well this is fucking depressing" and left. I can see myself doing the same.

 

[Right Hook]

Nick something. Steal something off the first person I see.

Grab a cup and watch the guards come after you.

Oblivion was just stupid with the crime system, here's hoping Skyrim is better in that regard.

From what I've heard the crime system is supposed to be more lenient and actually make sense. A guard would probably just tell you to put it back and keep walking or grab it from you.

As for first thing in game, I'm just gonna follow the main quest for a while until I become accustomed with the people in Skyrim and their beliefs, then find whatever reason I can to get lost in the world.

 

[h@wke]

Well I plan to be a stalwart and righteous knight of the realm until at an appropriate point in the plot where I have an emotional breakdown harvey dent style, and turn into a right b*****d who kills anything that gets in his way


woooo skyrim

 

[AgDr_ODST]

waiting until all the hype/nerdgasm's surrounding Skyrim subside in my man cave until Saints the Third comes out ;P....playing the shit out of it and then i might get Skyrim XD

 

[brainslurper]

Continue my person who kills everything with only his fists from oblivion. Probably going to walk around until I am ambushed by something, then kill it. WITH MY HANDS!

 

[archvile93]

Wait even longer so I can buy it without the inevitably huge number of game breaking bugs it will ship with. Once I've actually bought it, um, go on a bad guy stabbing rampage I guess.

 

[BlackEagle95]

Make a warrior
Main quest
Arena
Fighters guild
Fuck shit up
Make a mage
mages guild
fuck more shit up
make an assassin
brotherhood
fuck all the shit up.

Basically what I did in Oblivion.

 

[Ophiuchus]

I have absolutely no idea, and that's a good thing. Given the apparently ridiculous scope to do any one of a billion things, making specific plans five days before the game is in my hand seems a little redundant.

That said: I fully intend to make a left-handed character. It might be a little weird at first, having to use the left trigger instead of the right, but hopefully that's something I can get used to. It always sort of bugged me that your character in every first-person game I can think of is a righty. Aside from that... I usually end up playing a solid sword-and-shield type, most often a Redguard in Morroblivion, it'd be no surprise if it ends up that way in Skyrim too.

 

[Laser Priest]

I'm most likely going to run around like a moron shouting happily about Skyrim.

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

Do random shit, like a boss. Join factions, level grind, etc.
Followed by looking for glorious mods.

 

[Lunar Templar]

Challenge accepted! I see your drunken captcha and raise you...Kosher Kaptcha!

Got it a few days ago. As annoying as these might be, they do keep bots out pretty well, and they're hilarious often enough to make them worthwhile.

holy flaming fucking hell o.0?!?! HOW is anyone supposed to punch that in o.o;;

OT: tiss true, would be better if in the game to start with, might not be, but your 'small window' theory sounds solid enough to merit research. not like your not gonna play the hell out of it anyway

 

[Inkidu]

while i have no intention of getting that game, you have another hope

modders

pretty sure some one will make you werewolf/parasite hybrid doable

Meh. To be honest, mod-produced stuff can be good, but I always prefer the stuff to have been in the game in the first place. Besides, I'm getting it on the 360 because my computer doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of running it.

i think the captcha was drinking again ....

At least you get captchas. Mind don't load, or they load improperly. I get like one post a day, and do you realize how hard it is to sneak these messages in because I've yet to hear back from any tech person? They always get halfway and I get the chaos, madness message all screwed up and not where it's supposed to be.

On topic. I'll probably spend way too long in the character creation thing getting my character just right.

 

[ArchBlade]

Find two swords to duel wield and then break them in on Mud Crabs.

Many, many Mud Crabs.

 

[sapphireofthesea]

Same thing we do every game Pinky.

TRY TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!

10 points
OT: Never gotten into the Oblivion game set but might try this at some point. However, I am the type that waits for a price drop, primarily because I can hardly afford food right now, so £30+ for a game is a bit too rich for my blood. I have got some money in a special place though for a quick grab of the next STALKER title, cause I simply love what they do with it and need some more of the Zone.

 

[Sagacious Zhu]

Murder the first innocent bystander I see to gain the Dark Brotherhood's attention

 

[hashtag]

Watching walkthroughs, cause I have no money to buy it.

 

[Stormz]

Probably explore a little then do the first main quest or two before wandering off and joining the various guilds.

 

[easternflame]

Walk in a straight line untill something happens. Then when something happens continue thru the main quest untill I get to the killin', the dragon killin'.

 

[Double A]

I'm gonna do some of the main quest to get some dragon shouts and exposition, then I'll see how far south I can go.
