The Skyrim collector's edition looks terrible. What the hell is anyone going to do with a big tacky plastic dragon? Put it on the mantlepiece and show it to your date?

dating? your days of dating will be over once this game sucks you in the tacky plastic dragon is likely to be your only friend once you emerge from your skyrim-induced hibernation

Even then, it's soul will be yours.......

The only date that matters is 11.11.11, never forget! After Skyrim is bought, I'll only leave the house for a bottle of jack daniels and nothing else!

The children thing is just a reminder of how sick society really is as Pete has confirmed that there are indeed children in Skyrim but no you cannot hurt them

Reminds me of those damn ones you couldn't kill in WoW... :pac:

It's also the release date for my favourite band's next album. They did it on 9.9.9 and 10.10.10, too. New Album each year... Damn release date hipsters. Everyone's at it now, and all it means is that on 11.11.11 I'll be as broke as hell from all the purchases or have to pick between them... which for me will be as hard as choosing between which one of my children lives.

11/11 a tragic day in history, a day we all lose our lives...

Mr Freeze

Getting really worried about this game now after all the videos I've seen.

I have no idea how I am gonna balance real life and Skyrim.

When I was playing Oblivion, the girlfriend nearly left me, and at work, I was reading up on Oblivion and printing maps and locations.

I was told skyrim got rid of the horrible "every enemy levels up with you" thing. But now I'm hearing its kept it? Which is true? Anyone?

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

i heard the skinny white guy who is showing all the videos ive seen that they will have it kinda like fallout, where there are areas the character will have great difficulty in until they reach a certain level but there will be some small equivelant levelling going on in some respect so.. *shrug*

they have to recognise the amount of complaints that caused in oblivion though, and they didn't do it in fallout 3 or NV

Monotype

Places have level ranges.

E.g., a cave is level 10-15.
You first enter the cave at level 8, the monsters will be at level 10.
You first enter the cave at level 12, the monsters will be at level 12.
You first enter the cave at level 22, the monsters will be at level 15.

The cave locks to whatever level you first go in at.

I haven't heard anything about item levelling. It might just be better depending on your skills (or whatever equivalent to skills that's replacing them).

Kiith

The levelling system sounds fine (as described above). As long as there is an upper limit to an area, places can still be challenging if you go there early, and will be a breeze later in the game. I hope enemies respawn (after a set amount of time) in caves and dungeons though, so i can go back later destroy them.

Item levelling is another issue though. Nothing worse then getting a Sword of Absolute Destruction and then a rusty dagger is better then it 2 levels later.

Skerries

those rusty daggers can be dangerous, they might give you tetanus and then you're fooked

I sure there's a dragonshout for that

Is there any news on minimum/recommended system requirements for this yet?

THIS! I actually thougth there wasnt enough random spawn in area's and caves which made it sometimes boring (eeek) and harder to level, in Oblivion, I really hope they have more action for us hack'n'slashers!

There should be some sort of respawning definitely, maybe after you do a couple of missions/dungeons they begin to respawn in a completed location. The longer you leave it to return the more enemies that respawn. That's the way that I think would make it interesting to revist locations

Noooo! I liked it when went into a cave and knew i had been there before because I wasted all their scaly asses and all the loot was gone

Agreed, I'd also like to see the morality system that was in Fallout 3 to be implemented in Skyrim, that'd be nice

Gandalph

Are they brining back skooma? I need my fix.....

Same here I think respawning just ruins the game

Nevermind the crappy levelling in oblivion. Ruined the game even more so:p:mad:.

Got to play this for 20 minutes at Eurogamer Expo today - full HD, and Turtle Beach headset. Fantastic! Environments look great, HUD is nice, map is great, the sounds are amazing when you use a headset.

Negatives: Load times were relatively heavy for the Xbox build we played. Shouldn't take 10 seconds every time you enter/leave a building.

Some of the graphics are still a bit rubbish. Water is fantastic, but the characters themselves and any small details like that can still be a bit blocky, like Oblivion.

But, if you loved Oblivion, you'll love this. Not broken with bugs at the moment, but I did find a few small glitches. Bothing Fallout-esque, anyway

I loved Oblivion, thank you for setting some of my wee fears aside!
