No, one of the game's testers beat the game (presumably, main questline) in 2hrs and 16 minutes. The speed runs of Oblivion (and I believe Fallout 3) were done in about 1hr and 15 minutes. Which makes Skyrim's main quest a fair bit longer than Oblivion's. Also, I don't have any idea what you're talking about saying there's…
habboi: you don't seem to understand. Here's me quoting you "Will it be completely stable and not lag on a top of the line PC that can handle Crysis, Mass Effect 2 and so on on Max Settings?" ... Does reading that not make you feel embarrased? Not only that, but what Eld said: It's Bethesda, not Gamebryo as such. I don't…
I missed out on Morrowind. For some reason, I just couldn't get into it at that age. I didn't make the same mistake with Oblivion. When it first came out, I was blown away. I couldn't believe it was a video game, it felt more like I was reading a book, but in complete control. It's still in my top 10 favorite video games,…
Ugh, don't remind me. The Greybeards too. I ask for the dragon killing shout, and the guy gets his knickers in a bunch, even though I very specifically beforehand told him and assured him I would never use the power for evil, but only for protection of Skyrim (which is what they always want) but even with all that, he just…
I don't believe this is entirely accurate, if at all. I've used showracemenu pretty extensively in Skyrim testing things out, editing my look, etc. From what I could tell none of my skills or attributes were affected, I didn't lose any level progress, and I was still able to level appropriately thereafter without any loss…
You dont even know what I'm saying to cut back on. The size would be a start there is no need to have such huge areas with very little in. Just Cause 2 was way too big as well. I think they have cut down some of the abilities with skyrim. If there reach extends beyond there grasp then they should. Its pointless throwing in…
@Aesir, I was about to post that about the controls. Dang rascals. @Stinger, I don't think it's a shame at all that jumping and running don't increase acrobatics and agility anymore. All it did was make me jump and run whenever I could which is a fucking annoying way to play to level up skills. Also constantly jumping and…
The resurgence of TES Lore has really inspired me to get in there and read through as much of it as I can. As much as anyone can argue that all fantasy is derivative of Tolkien, I think Bethesda has done a really fantastic job of creating a thorough and diverse history for their world. I also like what Todd Howard said…
Well played the game pretty much the entire day yesterday. Still only about level 8. Really enjoying it, can tell I'll be playing the hell out of it. Having experienced the awe of first stepping out into Skyrim and having a chance to mess around with several things now, there are a few things I'm disappointed with though.…
