I'll still be going with either blunt weapons or fists as an Ork.

Probably fists, though, along with body sliders that make him as big as possible set to max.

Hulk Mode engage.

I'll probably play as an Argonian assassin like I always did in Oblivion. But I'll experiment a lot of course.

Not really everyone. Just some of the stupider Morrowind fans.

I'm not sure whether the spears are in vanilla or whether they're DLC, but they're there.

I don't really care about the spears. The werewolves though, that is great news.

No, they can. Or, at least, they could in the Bloodmoon expansion for Morrowind, so I don't see why they couldn't in Skyrim.

At most, Argonians'll have a resistance to lycanthropy and other diseases like they always have.

Heck, in Elder Scrolls lore, Khajits can turn into Werepanthers despite already being cats.

That is exactly why I never got that into Morrowind. The console commands take all the fun out of the game, because what's the point of playing if you already have all the best stuff? I kept telling myself I wouldn't use them but then would be like "Well it wouldn't hurt to give myself the last piece of this armor set...."

Actually, I like being able to use the cheat codes for glitches. For instance, in Fallout New Vegas, I had to kill one more soldier ant to complete the quest, but it was stuck inside some rubble and I couldn't kill it. Console > select ant > "kill". Saved me from loading back for such an easy enemy.

I have to admit though, I have used the "unlock" code in Fallout a couple of times. Apart from that, I rarely, like, really rarely, use cheats anymore.

I'm like that with Medieval Total War and Morrowind as well. :( I hate myself.

So I keep hearing people are going to skip school to play this game......and well wow. Don't they realize by this point the skill of pattern discerning? It's a Bethesda game, best to wait until the patches come out to start playing, or else you'll find yourself with a destroyed PC that you just chopped in half after Skyrim loses your last 10 hours of progress.

Oh yeah, all of you people saying that are right. Let's wait to get what will be the best game ever because you're SURE Bethesda is going to release a buggy, glitchy game. Shut the fuck up.

Nothing like that has ever happened to me, and I bought Oblivion and Fallout 3 at launch. Maybe your computer is the problem.

The only Bethesda game I ever had trouble with was Fallout: New Vegas. I'm confident Skyrim will be fine.

That depends. Some crashes, texture clipping and NPCs getting stuck so you have to load an earlier save, yes I do. Anything worse than that, not really.

Have you experienced a lot of them?

Minor glitches, yes. Major glitches, no, I haven't. I think that the biggest glitch I have ever encountered in a Bethesda game, was that this one time my auto-save got corrupted in FO3.

Does seeing a lot of reports or witnessing them yourself give you any less respect for Bethesda or put you off the game?

Simply put: No.

Oh my god, I feel bad now. The only date I have been thinking about coming up is November 11th. How did I forget about November 8th, it's the 8th anniversary of my dad's death. He would want me to play video games all that weekend.

Yeah I just happen to have my longest day at college on Thursday, should get home past 5pm some time, so I'm really hoping to find it there waiting for me. I just couldn't imagine a better weekend.

Also I'm stocking up on Junk food and caffeine filled drinks.

Wait it's going to be the best game ever? Bullshit you're going to be calling Elder Scrolls 6 when it comes out the best game ever then I guess.

That and Bethesda as a publisher has a terrible track record with games, those games not developed by Bethesda severely don't live up to expectations being of course not finished and not polished and those developed by Bethesda get really weird bugs. Chances are they've missed some bugs so that they can release it faster before everyone forgets about it.

Before people forget about Skyrim? They have about a millenium before that will happen. I've read all the complaints about how buggy Fallout 3 is and al that jazz but for me, I never noticed a good portion of that stuff that people complain about and the few bugs that I did encounter were nothing close to being game breaking.

A week today. That's when I'll hopefully be playing Skyrim.

Also, some good news for the UK users if you're into pre-order bonuses and wanted that map. GAME, GameStation and Amazon are now all advertising that people who pre-order will receive the premium quality map.

They're all charging about the same price for the game, but is there anyone able to recommend which of the three is most likely to receive the game on release day, or maybe the day before? Amazon say they will if you pay for first class delivery but that adds a couple quid onto the price. I don't pre-order much at all so I'm not really sure who to avoid.

I contacted GAME asking if I'll receive the game on release date if I pre-order. GAME has the best pre-order offer in Australia seeing as you get two novels with it. It'll be the first book in ages I might actually read, lol
