The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Thread

Good to see a few Elder Scrolls fans on this site. Oblivion would definitely have to be in my top 5 games of all time. From the look of things Skyrim might bump Oblivion right out of the top 5.

Anytime, I feel you on the magic thing. I just tried being a magic based character on my last playthrough and just couldn't do it. I'm better with a bow than I am with Destruction magic.

Just starte new game on oblivion.

Fuck that magic troll in the caves when you're breaking out of the imperial prison.

I can not wait for this game.

In the meantime, if you are waiting for a good RPG similar to Eldar Scrolls, check out Two Worlds 2. Two Worlds 1 was all-time horrific, but 2 is really, really good.

It blows Dragon Age 2 out of the water. Of course, Dragon Age 2 is one of the most over-hyped games I have ever played. Worst game of 2011... and 2010, by far.

The User Scores on Metacritic are horrible for Dragon Age 2. I was shocked when I saw them. They were worse but they've gotten a little better. Metacritic score in parenthesis.

PC-4.3/10 (82/100)
PS3- 3.9/10 (82/100)
360- 4.4/100 (79/100)

I remember at one point all three were below 3.1/10.

Fallout: New Vegas was pretty fun. Definitely nowhere near as good as Fallout 3. It just felt like an expansion pack. Didn't deserve to be on my shelf between Fallout 3 and The God of War Collection, so I traded it in. Can't wait for Fallout 4 on this new Skyrim engine. That'll be sweet.

I had Fallout 3. When i heard it was basically Elder Scrolls with guns i hopped all on it. IDK what it was but i got disinterested pretty quick and traded it in. I cant remember why exactly. Maybe it was because i got it from some guy who got stolen games(thats what im assuming). I had a few new games with Fallout 3 so maybe it was just too much variety at once. Ive been thinking about giving it another try.

oblivion>Fallout IMO

You might love New Vegas then, since you didn't finish Fallout 3. It won't feel like an expansion for you. There's more to do in New Vegas, more weapons, but there's just something about it for me that just made it feel blah. It was fun, but I haven't had any itches to play it again like I do with Fallout 3 and Oblivion.

This. I think it's character immersion in Oblivion. You actually get to be a character of your choice. In Fallout, you're just a person with guns. Oblivion, you can be a tank, a thief, a mage, and assassin, an all around character. There's just so many different things you can be.
