So. 90 days til Skyrim launches. What will you do first?

[Roofstone]

The title says it all really. Ignoring any starting quests and so for now. What is the first thing you will do when you step into the wide world?

Personally, I will probally go hunting. Whenever I roleplay in games like these, I always start out as a hunter, humbly enough. Of course, I will also go out and start stealing stuff. I need to find that thieves guild after all.

 

[Radoh]

Go for a swim probably.
That seems to be the first thing I do, either that or climb a mountain because I can't very well expect the water's of Skyrim to be very warm.

 

[GoGummiBear]

Probably head out for the College of Winterhold and learn me some kickass spells.

 

[Bobbity]

Finish my exams, then roll a nord mage.

 

[DanielBrown]

Three months? Damn, I thought the game was announced pretty recently.
Why couldn't Blizzard have done this with Diablo III? ;_;

OT: I'll probably do what I did in Oblivion; go dungeon crawling!

 

[Sonicron]

I'll probably remember that it's only been about 60 days since 'Space Marine' was released and go back online to smash up more ancient ceramite.

Seriously, though, I've never played a TES game, mostly because I'm not much of an RPG guy. However, it's been half an eternity since I've played a good fantasy game, and Skyrim does look appealing.
So, if I were to get this game, the first thing I'd do would probably be to just head out into the wilderness and see what it throws at me; I'd gather a conga line of various monsters and critters behind me just to see a cross-section of what the early overworld has to offer. And to gawp at the ridiculously beautiful scenery, of course.

I know the first thing I'm going to want to do is find a horned helmet like the one shown on the Nordic character from the demos. And a nice sword. Then just walk through the world in awe at the beautiful environment. That's all. Then we'll go from there.

 

[Al-Bundy-da-G]

The first town announcement after I travel through will probably read something like this.

Ill times have befallen our town. Sheriff murdered, women and children stampeded, and cattle raped.

Mission Accomplished

 

[Daniel_Rosamilia]

Well, apart from make a evil-looking Dunmer, I might just go wandering.
Or murder the entire starting town and loot all their stuff, then sell it to the next town I find.
I like to start with a bit of coinage in the pocket.

 

[Zhukov]

Check the options menu and set up controls.

Duh.

 

[NerfedFalcon]

I'll probably try and get myself as immersed as possible to make sure I actually spend more time playing this than I did with Fallout 3. (For the record, Steam says I've played about four hours of that.)

 

[GrizzlerBorno]

Uhh....wait for mods? Though I probably won't need any atmospheric mods this time around....

 

[Fiad]

Stare at the sky for around an hour. Every Elder Scrolls game has had amazing sky textures/animations.

 

[thiosk]

begin my skull collection.

I hope to fill a room with skulls and swim in it this time.

Collecting crap is the only reason i play TES. Its also the reason i quit fallout-- plungers are nice and all, but just didn't do it for me. Oblivion loot was better.

 

[Lyiat]

Rush to the point where you get to fight dragons, and then slaughter dragons.

 

[ELD3RGoD]

I'll probably go and buy my character some warm clothes and a hood. Gotta keep warm in Skyrim!
