Lol released early in Australia
AHHHH CURSE YOUR BLOODY ISLAND /raises fist angry.......
Actually it's only the console version that was broken. Then I don't care anyways =) PC all the way.
amen, there is one very simple reason why the PC version of skyrim will be MUCH better than the console version.
1 word: mods.
you can mod the crap out of the game, adding extra content FOR FREE, plus fixing buggs, ironing out flaws, and overall improving the game.
exhibit A
is there a place where the classes/races are listed?
there used to be a class system from elder scroll 1 to 4, but everyone ended up creating their own custom-classes (which ended up being superior to a standard class) so from V onwards, the class system is scraped.
As for races, well there's 10 races to choose from (though only 3 are unique, the others are variations of humans and elves) The races are:
Here's the 4 human variations:
Imperials:
based off the romans (Legionaires, colliseums, empires, ect) slightly tan skin.
Nords
Based off the vikings, really white/pale skins, the natives to skyrim itself, the continent on which this game is based off.
Bretons:
Their culture is suposed to be based of a strange mix of british and french. At least on oblivion they were a bit shorter than other humans, but also "more dandy" :P
Redguards
Based on african/arabian cultures, all of them are black, and have a reputation as the best warriors of the world.
here's the elven variations.
High Elves
: adepts to magic, white skinned, haugthy :P not unlike wow's blood elves.
Wood Elves
: wild people, live in the jungle, talk to the animals, live in a feral nation, similar to wow's night elves except these ones dont have purple skin, these ones have a more yellowish/greenish skin.
Dark Elves
: Your average Drows :P blue skin, red eyes, if you've seen anything related to the drows or dark elves of D&D then you know these guys.
And here are the 3 regular races:
Orcs
: green skinned, your average wow orc, except these aren't so absurdly muscled up.
Kajhit
: Lion people, that's all there is to it :P they are humanoid lions/panthers.
Argonian
: Lizard folk, and I may also add that this is the first elder scroll game since daggerfall that FINNALY depicts them right, acording to lore. The screenshots I've seen show that these are almost like humanoid Velociraptors (which is incredibly cool)
What type character are you all going to make?.
what kind of question is that? an orcish barbarian, with a hefty axe and a bad temper.
$10 says I log a 48 hour marathon on the weekend.
JA JA JA xD you are not the only one :P I have to go to work this monday, but this weekend is a non-stop 48 hour marathon of Skyrim.

so sue me ye pansy wee lil elfing XD
Orcs are the true embodiment of combat prowess and battle superiority. /flex
Edit: yes I know orcs are supossed to descend from elves on TES, but I dont call it descend :P I call it EVOLUTION.
also for those interested, Gametrailers did a rather nice review of Skyrim
http://www.gametrailers.com/video/review-elder-scrolls/723800
I am kinda pissed off that they gave more points to frikking UNCHARTED 3 than skyrim, I'm starting to lose respect for that site real fast.

Actualy high elves (altmer) are the ones that have greenish yellow skin, wood elves (bosomer) have brownish tan skin.

ohh really? :P I tend to get them mixed up, I dont play elves much, and there aren't many wood elven NPCs in the game either. (at least not on oblivion and daggerfall)

to quote "ZeroPunctuation" who is doing a "lets play" of Skyrim, he said:
Since they never tell you what exactly did you do to earn an execution, I chose to believe that I was out shagging the emperor's wife and daughter while doing a rock guitar solo on the desecrated corpse of God.
seems as good a reason as any xD

That's the same line he used for his review of Oblivion. Anyway imma go ahead and say I'm sick if that guy...
THATS RIGHT I SAID IT SHOOT ME.
Also there was more werewolf footage in that review a few posts up. I kinda wonder if you will be able to take a dragon as a werewolf, I remember in Morrowind it was basicly the /RAPE EVERYTHING button...

Tons of 10/10s pouring in. Even Eurogamer gave it a 10/10. Excited for this and Skyward Sword--the week before my birthday no less~
I've got my copy preloaded on Steam. $10 says I log a 48 hour marathon on the weekend.
I would as well, but my training interferes, and I can't move that down my priority list
:/
Nevertheless, I'm skipping sleep tonight. Skyrim can over-prioritize (is that even a word?)
that
!
Edit: and Rankkorr, WHY are you looking at the game? Man, turn that off and wait to play it yourself

wow subscription expired, I've played all my games, got a free day due to a local holiday, and my skyrim vice is KILLING ME.
T_T I need a fix, and if watching someone else play skyrim can soothe the urge a little, then that's what I'll do. I wont watch that much though, at 7 I can finally have something else to take my mind off the waiting. (Cousins and me will be finishing our little pool tournament at the local bar)
