Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Never really played this type of game during this time period, hope its interesting and addicting..

Thanks guys, I was referring more to opinions on the story as opposed to details, but both of those told me a shitload I already didn't know anyway.

I agree. Every Bethesda game I found hasn't had that great of a story (Fallout 3, Elder Scrolls)

And basically the main story is, without giving too much out...

Dragons are back in Skyrim, nobody knows why. Also, to throw in some choas, the king of Skyrim has died and now Skyrim has found itself in the middle of a civil war.

It looks like it will be the best Bethesda game storywise thus far because well. DRAGONS.

I've enjoyed their stories. Unfortunately i wasn't able to get far in Morrowind(i was young, but i do have it on my computer right now so...). But i did enjoy Fallout 3's story and Oblivions. But i will agree that the stories haven't been the strongest (Fallout's was a little better).

But the side quest are always entertaining.

I think it should be the best one yet (that i've played). You have the option to choose one of the sides in the civil war, and like Peyman said, they're dragons in it.

Honestly, the first hour or two of me playing this game will be just walking around and fucking with things.

As long as the story isn't anything like Oblivion's (repetitive/frustrating/boring Oblivion gate bullshit) I'll be happy. That really hurt the main story experience, for me.

Which race are you all planning on rolling with? My Oblivion playthrough was as a Bosmer so I'm going to continue the trend for my Skyrim character. :smoking:

i will be a mage. not sure which class since it doesnt really matter. I like the look of the dark elves and high elves, but i think i would choose a breton since its a mage class that will probably have good starting skills and perks

Ok so I'm COMPLETELY new to this. Never played an Elder Scrolls game before, I don't mind RPG's at all, just haven't played any since FFXIII (which I didn't care for cause it was so linear).

But all the hype this game has been getting and some previews I've checked out the game looks pretty sweet. I'm not missing out on anything by not playing the previous games am I?

I've been craving a solid RPG experience and I'm debating about picking this up on a limb and dishing out the $60.

And can it also be played online?

[Maynard]

no online....no, u dont have to have played the previous games. my understanding is the stories are totally unrelated

there will be lots of references and such and the story will mean alot more to a player who's played the other titles, but you're right, you don't need to know the lore to appreciate it I'm sure.

Ok even after reading the past 3-4 pages I've officially pre-ordered it from Amazon (free release day shipping since I'm a Prime user and $10 credit). I even have Friday off so maybe I'll be a hermit that day.

I would just like to say that VSN has made me buy this game...particularly KG's & Maynard's posts throughout this thread.

Well it's sorta cool if you've played Oblivion seeing as how the world of Skyrim is what it is because of the events of the main quest from Oblivion, with the Septim bloodline dying out.

I'm hoping for some references to the plot of Oblivion in Skyrim.

Yeah krul. I've stayed away from this whole thread so as not to get to much spoiled. So excited for this game. So pumped.
