Adzeth: To anyone who's already playing it, an important question: Can you roll around the snow buttnaked (in the game)?

/edit: clarification added
Nope, you'll always have on underwear.
Because that's high fantasy, men wearing fundoshi and women wearing whatever they wear.

Oh...
Well, then I don't see what all the fuzz is about :|
Seeing all that snow in the trailers got me excited for a moment.

I know, right?
I guess we'll have to wait some more for the perfect writing your name in snow and making snow angels simulator.

Smannesman: I've had it for two days and played roughly two hours and I was home all day, both days.
It's alright, but it's not that exciting.
And if you sat me down with Madden I wouldn't play it longer than 10 minutes. Means nothing overall.

Depends, is American Football/Sports your favorite genre of games?
Because RPG is my favorite genre.

Well if RPGs are your thing and you can't stay interested in Skyrim then that's not a good sign. So far you seem to be in the minority though.

I would really love to read a review or hear some opinions from the perspective of a Morrowind fan. I recently even tryed Oblivion again to scratch that Morrowind itch I had. But even with some Mods it just didn't cut it.

Oblivion was somewhat like a very pretty girlfriend that only gave handjobs. Fun to look at, but you want more. And I'm hoping that Skyrim is a little bit more nasty ...

Its a good game i didnt like oblivion very much i had my copy of skyrim yesterday and i think its a great game and i have to say it even got some blood and gore I never expected that from an elder scroll game. It still has quick travel but i think sometimes it is good but not always. There is lot to do and you can even craft your own gear and the dungeons are even fun it isnt bland as oblivion but i have to say 1 thing but i cant say for sure but most dungeons have scripted events in it, like puzzles it is something to get used to expacily since there is no attribiutes anymore but i dont miss them i finaly can mold the character i want to play.

I watched some live footage for a couple hours. And this is coming from someone who played the crap out of Oblivion unmodded.

The game looks nice, menus look better, and the presentation was slick.

But there were things that kept nagging at me. The motto seemed to be to take Oblivion and how you could do anything at any time, but make it easier to break the game systems or do everything in the game. So every character can dual wield spells, or weapons, and basically do anything they want at virtually any level. As one commentator put it "You don't have to agonize over creating a character anymore!"

There was also the revelation that when you enter a dungeon or a cave, everything will be leveled to match you. So you can always complete it. Not sure about the world at large, but I wouldn't be surprised if it applied in the same way.

It seems like they just advanced everything from Oblivion instead of realizing what worked or didn't. If there's no decision making, and every character can do anything at any time with minimal work, and there's no challenge in the game due to the leveling, what left is there? Why even have stats at all?

I guess it's just because it feels exactly the same as all the recent Bethesda games since Oblivion. There is something to be said for continuity.. and about repetition.
It's definitely not a bad game, but it's also not a 9.5 game as for example IGN has rated it.
I'm just very, very glad I decided against buying the Collector's Edition.
I'll be plonking in some more hours, but it's not a game that is so exciting you have to put your life on hold (as some people seem to think).

That was there in Oblivion, and I believe they said they made it so you can always find lower level creatures, like in F3, and some higher level ones in just a few places. Oblivion was horrid because you'd never find easy pickings anywhere unless you modded the game as i did (MMM FTW).

the game system is something to get used to you put your favorite weapon in sort of hotlist so you select the weapon or spell you want to use it can be tedious at the start since im dual wielding swords so i have to switch to healing to do it. About dual casting it only is possible when you reach a certain skill points that you able to dual cast so you use it in bot hands but at the start it wont be powerful till you have the skill points to use dual casting.

lvl scale isnt an issue here if your 20 you still find bandits in iron plating so that is something they fixed at skyrim.

That is true. I did see mubcrabs and low level enemies like that on the streams.

They are IMO much more terrifying this time 'round, not sure why.
Perhaps their bumpmapped shiny carapace?
