Offer each person who watches a new BMW. If you do, put a link to where I can sign up for mine!

Even better, offer them a copy of Skyrim.
A video game is better than a car? 60 dollar Skyrim versus 40,000 dollar BMW? You're either 14 years old or an environmentalist.

You know back in Morrowind one of the most fun things was exploration, you could have fun without even focusing on any of the Main story or faction quest lines. You would go out into the world, walk over a hill and spot some tomb, kill a bunch of undead inside maby get some treasure, maby on the way out you come across some naked Nord by the side of the road who was robbed by a witch, or on Solsthium you could club baby seals to death just for the hell of it and become the chief of a beer hall after slaying a monster in a very Hamlet like quest.
Skyrim recreates this perfectly. Today I went randomly explodring the wilderness, cleared out a cave of vampires and finaly got to test out my fire shout. On the way out I encountered a group of Thalmar taking away some Nord prisoner and decided to kill them. I brought the first one down from the top of the hill with arrows, when the second guy reached me I knocked him to his death in a spectacular fashion with a good old FUS ROH DAH that sent him flying all the way back down the hill, the third guy a spellcaster I dispatched with a very nice finishing move sword through the chest.
The beutifull landscapes and stunning enviorment and soundtrack make this game such an amazing experience. You never know whats going to be over the next rise and whats goingt o come at you around the next bend in the river.
RIP my social life.

Where did you get the third word for Unrelenting Force? :O

Who would actually willingly give 40000 dollars out like that though? =D

I posted my Skyim adventure thingy on my blog.
Also: I've played like 24 hrs in the past three days. My god.
I step into town to drop some dragon bones off at my house before I head out for the day's missions. It's shaping up to be as busy as the last. A barmaid in Whiterun has asked me to save her from an assassin; an old woman wants me to find her son kidnapped by soldiers; and an orc tribe begged me to find gauntlets on top of an area notorious for dragons.
I help them as I can, earning coin for my efforts. It only takes a couple hours and I even manage to squeeze in some extra quests, like proving myself to the Companions. Afterwards, I decide to move onward across the tundra, towards Solitude. I've heard good things about this settlement and I want to check them out for myself--there's only so much Whiterun can offer a mage like me.
At some point, as I'm killing a giant up near the summit of the mountain inbetween the cities, I vaguely realize I still haven't picked between the two warring factions. I tell myself I should do it.
But by the time I've hit the coast--approximately four dungeons, two dragons, and three horses later--I've forgotten all about Skyrim's political landscape. The fjords stretch on as far as the eyes can see and it's breathtaking. Trudging through the snow along the coast, I stop by a grotto and kill a band of pirates. Moments later, I stop by another grotto and find myself killing a witch. I save a bandit whom she imprisoned and he tries to stab me in the back.
One fireball takes care of him.
I stick to the sea. The snow lets up and the grass begins to show again. It crunches under my horse's hooves as I ride towards Solitude relentlessly, stopping only once to clear out a camp of bandits who live on an abandoned ship.
Before I unstealth to kill their leader, I overhear him talking about how tomorrow he's a redeemed man. How his bounty is finally paid. How he's done being a thief.
One fireball takes care of him, too.
And I still haven't picked a faction.
Finally, I make it to Solitude, hours behind schedule but thousands of gold richer. I blame the bandits. In Solitude, a man is being executed while the crowd cheers. I don't try to save him because I'm outnumbered, but I feel uneasy. The city is on fire with bloodlust and it's clear the civil war has hurt this city the most. I want to help, but I don't know where to start.
The man's niece watches as he gets decapitated. Later on I loot his body and get a necklace--I give it to his sister after tracking her down. She thanks me. I regale her daughter with a story of dragons--she laughs through her tears.
Before the sun comes back up, I'm entertaining that region's Jarl. I tell her I slayed dragons. They have me clean out a nest of vampires to prove myself. It's no problem.
On my way back, though, I fall through a crack in reality--suddenly I'm in the mind of a dead king, wearing new strange clothes and using a magical staff to manipulate his fears. It's very Alice in Wonderland and it catches me completely off guard. The deity won't let me leave until I banish his self-doubt.
And I still haven't picked a faction.
When I get back the next day, I play tag with some children for a while before going to find out that the East Shipping Company in Solitude is stalled and inactive. They aren't very welcoming when I stop by to check in on an order for the city's fruit vendor and it piques my interest. I catch a carriage to the East, to its headquarters, to find out the story.
A man there tells me it's pirates; he explains that he simply can't afford to keep his business afloat. After stealing a ledger for him to confirm his suspicions, he encourages me to go to Dawnstar.
I almost do, but then I decide it's time to train a little. The merchants can wait--I want to see what else Skyrim has to offer me.
Thirty minutes later, after crossing the mountains, I find myself at the mage college. It's incredibly different than other areas I've seen thus far. Notably, races don't matter here; only magic matters. It's sort of a home. I help my fellow mages with their learning. I improve my skills. Later on, we search ruins together and find a powerful relic. Shortly after, I get a vision of the end from a mysterious force. Four hours and two half dungeons later, many of my new friends are dead--but I save the college, the world, and I'm appointed the archmage of the college. I'm a new mage, but I'm supposed to lead them in the ways of the arcane.
And I still haven't picked a faction.
As I exit the mage college, a dragon swoops by. I down it and, as I'm absorbing its powers, I pull out my map. Then I watch the sun rise.
I don't even know where to go and what to do next.
But it's probably not to pick a faction.

Where did you get the third word for Unrelenting Force? :O
Its in the dungeon where the Greybeards send you right after you meet them. If you have the second word then its probably the next quest for you. Once you have all 3 words the spell is amazing, sends %^&* flyings I love sending monsters and bandits flying off cliffs or against walls.
I love the shouts, its a cool system and it makes sence to finaly have an explination as to why the hero is able to kill all kinds monsters that guards and such cant.
Also this morning I took forever soloing a dragon in a terrible area, it would have taken half the time but the first time I killed the thing I had almost no health left and as soon as it went down a troll came running up and 1 shotted me >.<
I refuse to turn the difficulty on easy, I will NOT make this game another Oblivion...

That's not where I got it. The dungeon with the horn in it had a completely different word (an ice one I think). I got the I got the third word of Fus Roh Da after I got the horn from the lady and brought it back to the greybeards.

The quest "The Forsworn Conspiracy" ends in either dieing or going to jail. Feel like I wasted a long time for nothing.
ejem, may wanna put that as well as any further stuff like that under a SPOILER TAG PLEASE?
No. It spoils it if you DON'T know how it ends. I'm trying to save people trouble.
hello? I didn't knew how it ends....... -.-
also HALLELUJAH PRAISE THE LORD! my best friend Maria (God bless her heart) JUST TOLD ME SHE GOT IT! SHE GOT A COPY OF THE PC VERSION OF SKYRIM, OMG, SHE WAS IN COLOMBIA LAST WEEK AND KNEW HOW MUCH I WANTED THAT GAME AND BOUGHT IT JUST FOR ME!.
its official, if I have another kid, I'm naming her after her, EVEN IF ITS A BOY >.
Edit: she's coming over to my house later today, and FINNALY I'll get started on my grand adventure in the land of skyrim, its a shame that I could had used this entire weekend on it, but tomorrow I gotta go to work as usual :S
Her copy of the game is still a pirated one, so I dunno if it will work (praying right now that it does) so wish me luck bro's.

=O no surprise there, for all the awesome in bethesda's games, they always come infested with bugs, its ok though, by the end of the year there will be no less than 200 mods to fix that :P
a question about shouts: They consume mana? or consume some other resource?
