Lets make a bet on Skyrim.

OT: 100-and-something mb, like most day one patches.

I'd wager the week 1 or week 2 patch will be in the one hundred plus range. Since patches of that size generally come out to fix fairly large, systemic bugs.

I'm gonna go ahead and assume the day 1 patch (which I honestly expect) will be to fix some minor bug they couldn't fix in time for the games printing. Say, a save file bug or some such thing.

Ergo, my wager is on it being around 12 megs. Give or take a few bytes.

The subject is: How large (in Mb) will the launch day patch be for The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim?

Prior to release of patch one must be aware of errors. And since Bethesda never understood the concept of testing...

It's posts like yours that make me wish we had upvote buttons.
You, sir, win the internet.

OT:
I'm going to say 15mb.
Anyone remember if new vegas had a launch day patch? if not, it wasn't long after

Eleventy billion trillabites.

And I won't care.

I will play the shit out of Skyrim.

I want to give you an internet hug for your upbeat attitude and unbridled enthusiasm for a game. It makes me happy to see a wholly positive comment on this generally negative and cynical site.

OT: Don't know and don't care. Getting GOTY edition anyway. So long as that version's mostly fine, they can patch whatever, however and whenever they want.

Well, we're not all misanthropes and pessimists.

Skyrim will blow my fucking mind.

I'm gonna say 3MB but, hopefully none.

Cookie goes to ChromaticWolfen for having the most accurate bet.

I doubt they'll release a patch on day 1

They already announced it.

I think for PC it will be larger than console update. Maybe 100mb.
