The Elder Scrolls Megathread

I was always partial to Argonians.

My first play through in oblivion was an argonian.
They are probably my second favorite race. But to be honest, that is partly for the aesthetics.
Giant lizard men roaming the world wielding fire and steel look pretty badass.

I think I might be a Nord for lore's sake.
Plus they don't look handicapped like 90% of them in Oblivion did.

Except I'm telling the truth.

Except mine is the Skeleton Key

yeah, I'll probably be a nord, but I don't know.
I'm sure I'll do multiple play throughs before finishing the main story line so it really doesn't matter.

Holy sweet Jesus I'm probably a few months late.


Idk how I feel about the graphics as shown in this video; they seem incomplete, like an in-progress CGI film.

Same here.
They seem a bit grainy.

I'd be fine with oblivion graphics, elderscrolls has always been gameplay above all else for me.

Well towards the beginning of the demo the sun shining on the snow-covered rocks looked awfully odd.


See what I mean? Everything else is fine, but the rocks give off a strong "WIP" vibe.

Rocks remind me of Borderlands

I love the music in the demo. Instead of the romping-through-the-wilderness music in Oblivion that never seemed to fit the environment, we get soft subtle ambient tones that compliment the atmosphere beautifully.

Ugh. Complete and utter bullstuff. I'm going to have to buy Skyrim on console now that I know its impossible for me to get a new PC by the time it comes out.

Its not so bad... at least you'll still be able to play it

IMO the console controls feel better.
Plus DLC 30 days earlier.

Lol, I love how people react to console gaming like it'll give you AIDS.
