My plan is simple. Move my monitor to the other side of the room until all the Giant Spiders are dead and then I can relax and enjoy the game.

If I still have a house to live in and a PC to play it on, I plan to be very grateful indeed.

Play it until my PS3 explodes!!!
This times a hundred.

That, and I intend to play as a noble conqueror. Join every decent-minded group, solve every quest, build friends and alliances, but ever with the mind of unification. Sort of how I roleplay most open-world sandboxes, honestly. When I finished Oblivion, when folks would say 'What will become of the kingdom now?', my mental response was 'Well, the leader of every organization in the realm, its champion who now wears armor worthy of a king, its savior, leader of holy knights, and a fsking god of madness with two armies of daedra at his beck and call has a plan for that. It involves me, the throne, and the crown.'

1: Play through story, get bearing on the game and find a nice place to store items.
2: Start new character and collect all unique items in the game.

I'm not buying it day one. I've got sssssoooooo many other games to play, and really the Elder Scroll series is always a series that's best left until it's A: fully patched, and B: fully DLC'ed. Also having a couple of spare weeks of your life.

So my plan is to buy it probably a year after release, and just suffer through everyone's raving about it till then. Like I did with the Assasssins Creeds.

I know that I am incredibly excited for Skyrim to come out. I have never properly played an Elder Scrolls game save a few minutes faffing about with Oblivion at my friend's house, though I have played through Fallout 3. I was reluctant to get Oblivion due to the rate at which Fallout went from fun to boring, however after playing Oblivion a bit and listening to my friend's description of the game in action, which I barely got to see, I decided Bethesda's fantasy-style games are worth trying. Enter Skyrim...

My plans are to play through the game as an Elder Scrolls incarnation of Beowulf. We recently read that story in World Literature in school, and I must say I loved the original tale. I loved it so much, I decided I could be Beowulf, son of Ecgtheow, romping through Tamriel. I figure it will be quite fitting, in fact. The game world of Skyrim looks very Nordic, and Beowulf fights a dragon at the end of the story, after killing Grendel and Grendel's Mother.

So, tell me, Escapists, what do you want to do with Skyrim?
I will be sneaky, using mainly bows. my other two choices of weapons will be dual daggers, and dual spells of some kind, probably lightning bolt.

Straight up Altmer wizard. By the end of the game, I'll be casting nukes at the oversized rats.

EDIT: WTF?! Why is there a double post?

I will find where the dragons hang out, find a way to communicate with them, and live among the dragons in a dances with wolves kind of way, only without the homeland destruction. And I will join the dragon faction if there is one.

I shall play a Nord who learns the shouts and using their power unity the conternet under one banner...

Oh wait Tiber beat me to it.... ninja'd by a dragon god damn.

In other news I hope he gets a cameo in Skyrim I mean a chunk of plot leaked is homage to his rise to power. He gave the Nerevarine a lucky coin and his blessing the Dragon Born warrents the same if not more.

Oblivion was lame in PC plot in the core game. You do finally become a God in Shivering Isles though. That's too cannon PCs being deities that I can recall. Though the other games invole a lot of god slaying and dedra killing. Tough I guess there is a deabte over if the Nerevarine is actually a god or not.

Still I shall play a nord Battle mage as I normaly do focusing on a mix of fire, ice and shock spells as needed.

Doesn't the dragon kill Beowulf?
Yes, but Beowulf also cannot effectively use swords because he is so strong he breaks them. This is not an exact re-enactment of Beowulf, obviously. This is just putting the character in the game.
