Skyrim!

Posted by Zac1790 on Oct. 20, 2011, 8:42 p.m.

I'm so psyched for it.. I pre-ordered in like… March. And now it's only 20 days away.

So right now I'm doing some hardcore coding for S4D until they show 45 minutes of never before seen publicized gameplay at 1:05 EST on Spike (which I only get black and white video of, no audio :P). The way this hardcore coding works is I have a list of tasks that totally need to be done. And I have a timer that is just begging to beep annoyingly at me. So I give myself 30 minutes to run through each task as quick as possible.

I mean, I can still iterate from there, but so far my initial arbitrary magic numbers have been working out great! I've got… 1 task done! And now I'm posting here probably to procrastinate in a situation where I've already tried to keep out procrastination :)

Skyrim is THE game I'm looking forward to this year.

Brace for disappointment unless the only other Elder Scrolls game you played before was Oblivion.

Or if you prefer mindless action games to actual RPGs, I guess.

No, I've played Morrowind. I even recently bought a copy of the Xbox version. I also loved Oblivion. I played that game for more than 400 hours I think.

Actually, I just realized. One of my favorite games to play to relax is Touhou. It's the manliest of games while still being about little girls shooting lasers at each other. Yeahhhh, fukkit, I don't need 360 games anymore.
Sell your 360 then. No point in having a console you hate so much.

And you're not worried about them removing skills/stats left and right?

What is there to worry about? :P

I just want places to explore.

I sincerely hope you played Morrowind a lot more than Oblivion. So much of Oblivion was just the same forest/cave copied and pasted a couple hundred times…

And Skyrim looks to be rectifying that, with fewer overall caves/dungeons/etc with more work put into each one. Morrowind was not the second coming, it had an awful lot of faults - most of them lying with the core gameplay. Was it an excellent game? Yes. Was that excellence because it included crossbows and distinguished between long and short blades? No it bloody wasn't.

INTERMISSION TIME!

And now, back to your regularly scheduled flamewar.

Oh God yes. Of course.

But I don't think they should just up and remove 70% of the attributes as well as some of the skills.
