CACHED: SKYRIM!
« on: October 25, 2011, 01:59:43 pm »
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim releases in about 2 weeks. I just placed my pre-order on Amazon, can't wait. In preparation, I'll be working to 100% the rest of the Oblivion achievements before then.

I was going to spring for the collector's edition, just because, but decided against it. I'd rather drop $150 on that red 3DS instead. ha

Ha, this reminds me that I was obsessed with getting a hold of Oblivion, but by the time I got it, I just didn't have the energy to play it.  It's still sitting on my shelf  :\    Might be time to pick it up finally.

It's a great game, the scenery is still impressive, but the townsfolk look quite dated. The biggest thing is the ability to get sidetracked easily, and forgetting to play the main quest entirely. I've not played more than the first couple required quests in the main story and have spent the entire time I've played working through the guild quests and sidequests, like the Knights of the Nine storyline.

I've heard the main quest is kind of forgettable, and not nearly the best part of the game. But the guild quests are fun, especially the Thieves' Guild quest line.

I have it preordered as well. It's about the only thing out there that I can think of that will pull me away from Dark Souls. I also passed on the CE. Honestly, I think it's kind of BS. I usually pick up CEs but $150 for a plastic statue? Really?

I do have the CE guide coming though.

Is it plastic? I heard it was made of resin, if that the case then I am surely glad I passed on it. If it is made of resin though, that's usually some quality stuff.

Yeah, I want to get my hands on that map, possibly frame and hang it.

If you reorder the regular edition game you should get a free cloth map. I'll be framing mine for sure.

Oh yeah, I have it preordered. It'll have the cloth map for sure. I'm pretty sure they are shipping all launch copies with the cloth map packed right in with it.

Yes!  You didn't copy over the rest of the cached post :)

EDIT: Oh, the cache didn't include the stuff about the chicken... Or about someone saying they got arrested or killed for yelling at a cow...?
