I just became a vampire and wandered around. Never played Morrowwind. Seems like half the videos you guys have posted have been taken down for copyright infringement. Pretty silly, you would think they would want people to look at the game to get stoked about buying it.
lol, you became a vampire and just...wandered around? Did you roleplay with NPC's and feed off the beggers!
Skyrim will blow the dust off your jaded RPG socks, just give it a chance.

hehe, yea pretty much. I was messing around with a lot of mods for new buildings and such, just exploring, which I think is my favorite thing to do in games. I really liked the wrecked underground pirate ship. Just watched the sound video and they have a pretty killer cast. If you could play as a dragon I'd be 100% on it. I'll probably get it reguardless.

Its not really a hate its just mistrust i havent said that Skyrim is or will be bad just that it will be full of bugs (every TES game was so far i cannot see that changing now (o:). Morrowind had a story about human gods and disappearance of entire race i will take that over Oblivions white supremacy tale anytime. Skyrim story seems to be interesting so far but if they think that putting dragons in is enought then ill pass. As why for all recent bethesda games (Yes even f*****g Rage) i am tired of pc crowd being treated as second class citizens all i want is keyboard and mouse friendly interface not joypad friendly console ports.

Yes this is what made every TES shine: The community the unofficial patches and mods. And i salute bethesda for sharing editing tools with us. But IMO Bethesda doesnt deserve to have my preorder for skyrim because they put out game i need a year for community to work on so that i am able to fully enjoy it. So yes i will get skyrim eventually, will even pay for it but not full price i will wait it its 66% off on steam. I just dont get it why most people see skyrim as second coming of jesus all that hype, which reminds me of this.
That YouTube video was hilarious. I have to keep an eye on these guys. I'm sort of in the same boat when it comes to Skyrim. I really need to play an open world RPG, though, so I really hope all my fears will be put to rest (shallow NPC-interaction, balancing issues, consolified interface/controls etc.). Most 1st person games these days seem to be almost tunnel shooters (the Battlefield 3 campaign is the most heavily scripted tunnel experience in a long time), and a game where you can go wherever you want, mixed with a good story and an immersive world.
Is there somewhere I can watch leaked footage that doesn't spoil the main story btw?
At first I was not really sure about Skyrim, I enjoyed Oblivion but never really 'completed' it.. it was full of everything to do but mainly the one thing I really wanted to do was just explore the world, and I felt I couldn't really do that on Oblivion but on Skyrim the mere words that one of the game developers said really made me think, "yes, I am getting this game" and those words were "If you want to go to the top of that mountain, you can."
I really can't wait for Skyrim, one week to go and I am just consistently thinking about what to do, should I do the main quest line first? Or do side-quests? Get my skills up? Explore? Do the guild quests? But really I thought that I would just see where the game took me, I'm not going to plan ahead of what to do because really I don't fully know what I can do on Skyrim yet!
In an interview with Wired, Skyrim director Todd Howard has said that Skyrim’s Radiant quest system will continue to make procedurally generated missions for as long as you play it. The examples he uses are things like an innkeeper asking you to hunt bandits in areas you haven’t visited yet or an alchemist asking you to find ten flowers. Todd Howard spoke about the Skyrim system before in an interview with Official PlayStation Magazine UK but this is the first time he’s mentioned infinite potential.
Even guilds will have work for you after you’ve finished all their story missons with jobs like assassinating NPCs or stealing gems. The Radiant quest system works by looking at things like where you been and what you’ve done to create objective parameters based on your actions. It also affects story missions, picking enemies and locations depending on what you’ve done. So instead of only lasting a few hundred piffling hours the game now last forever. Oh. Oh God.
Mine should arrive in the post tomorrow, can't wait.
