Syraxis

Oh good, thank you.

The fact that you can't grab objects with the z key anymore is a huge disappointment to me.

I've been killed by more bears than dragons. The dragon fights are interesting but like Tigranes said they're piss easy.

My only real complaint about the game. Surprisingly.

I don't know about re-defining but Skyrim is pretty great.

Anyone happen to know the accent for the common female nord voice over?

Man, I just played for like 5 straight hours (this never happens). As far as I'm concerned oblivion never happened. Bethy gets a clean slate for me.

Definitely a bethesda game.

Make sure you have a ranged weapon of some sort. Magic or a bow. Noted. Thank you kindly.

Game download completes in about 20 mins, anyone have any quick tips for starting out? That or anything of interest I should make note of when I get out of the starting tutorial?

I'll try this sometime, thanks for the info.

Bethesda should just hire him and have him be the lead for UI design on PC platform for all their future games.

It's called distilling, and nah I've never tried that. Believe it or not that's actually illegal in the US and quite difficult to do. Brewing beer is easy (well, brewing beer that tastes good is not so easy). Freshly distilled whiskey is clear and almost all alcohol. It's actually only called moonshine if it's made from corn mash. Commercial distillers age the fresh whiskey in charred oak barrels for the period of time. Jack Daniels for example ages their black label for seven years. During that time it picks up it's color and flavor interacting with the barrel wood and as the ingredients in the wort begin to chemically seperate and the alcohol breaks down. Then they dilute it to reach the percentage they want becasue fresh out of the barrel it's around 120 proof. There was a great show on Discovery about that a few years back. Do you work in a brewery or something? Because that was fascinating to read.

Here's an easy one: Tiber Septim/Talos was a rapist. source: one of the in-game daggerfall books.

Thanks Well gals & guys; you've sold it to me. I'll order it tomorrow and will play a day later Not complaining about that since that'll give me time to finish some class work.

Interesting responses all One last question: I'm running on a DSL connection and am wondering for those who bought the game digitally rather than retail, how big was the download?

Since today's release day and everyone here seems to be playing it; what're your opinions? Buy it now? Or Wait a bit?

People here were reacting to the psn incident? That's news to me.

What the hell is magic friday?

Would that be all of morrowind or just vvardenfell? @maria no, I don't recall something like that happening in oblivion. UESP might have the answer.

Everything seems to be in order, just changed my password just to be safe.

@ Tigranes: Is that soldier in your recent image post from the empire? Looks like something from Caesar's Legion, if so I wonder what made Bethy change them from generic medieval to roman-esque .

Thanks for the quick response, and to starwars as well.

Do townspeople make any comments about dreadful creatures? How's the radiant AI this time around? Do people actually do things or is it like Oblivion where they just walk around eventually stop to stare at walls for a few in-game hours? How is dialogue between NPCs? More believable or more nonsense like Oblivion? That sounds bad Christ; one would think bethesda would learn to make a seperate UI for PC versions after all time.
