    the areas don't show up on the map until you actually physically go to them, wasn't it the same for Oblivion and the Fallouts:confused:

    I sure as hell hope that's what they mean. It's just the way they said
    unlock
    though

    Edited to put it in spoiler just in case...
    Its the same as fallout etc. Once you go there its on your map, and you can fast travel. There are a few locations already on the map too.

    I just had a slight nerdgasm when i realised that it's out on Friday :o

    Yeah id say its Fallout 3 style. Just doesn't show up on your map until you discover the place.

    Would be absolute **** if it was an actual unlock though.

    I hated how oblivion had certain quests locked "You need to be level 20" for this quest.

    Id much rather find out by starting the quest, getting my arsed handed to me and realise myself that I need to level up rather than the game protecting you.

    God how I hated Oblivion and its stupid leveling and loot system.

    Guarantee you half of this thread will be in looking tomorrow. It's likely the shop will get blacklisted because of this though, it depends on if Gamestop etc find out and report them due to business/. Doubt anyone in this thread would be so ****ly....Thanks though. I want it now.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,566 ✭✭✭Funglegunk


    If it arrives on Thursday: Yippeeeee!!!!
    If it arrives on Friday: Yippeeeee!!!!
    If it doesn't arrive on either of these days: I'm going to the ****ing pub and avoiding this thread.


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,845 ✭✭✭✭ShaneU


    Really wish gamestop online were selling this at a reasonable price on pc, it should be cheaper than the console versions.


  • Registered Users Posts: 401 ✭✭BrianG23

    No doubt. The executable generators wont release until the appropriate launch time.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,315 ✭✭✭Big Knox


    Could we potentially unlock it Thursday midday with an Australian proxy???

    Just like to point out girls and guys that it's the 7th of November. I love weeks like this in gaming! The Fever pitch rising.....

    Been playing it recently, heres a small insight into the fun im having :D

    Ive put it in a spoiler to tempt you all...
    Walking to an orphanage for a pety quest, absolutely miles away! The whole walk was so full of different encounters that i forgot what quest i was doing!

    Came across two bandits so was fighting them and what comes breathing fire around the corner...a bloody dragon! We all start attacking the dragon (i was the only survivor may i add). Such randomness yet it seemed like it was part of the story. I think im addicted.

    Damn it!

    I bought the Steam pre-order. Theres no pre-download.

    Gah it will take two days to download on my connection.

    So much for Friday Night.


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,436 ✭✭✭✭Skerries


    over 100 pages and the games not even out yet :)

    It will probably pre-load later in the week. Not 100% on this, but i think they wait till a few days before release.
