I received my copy of Skyrim in the mailbox, like an hour ago. So happy right now. I haven't done an awful lot yet, but i'm already loving it to death. My fears about that the graphics would dissapoint were for no reason cause IMO it looks absolutely great.
The Argonian's skin for example looks almost 'real', textures are fine and only get alittle low-res when you get extremely close to them. Anyway, here's my character.
So jealous of you wright now :) .I'm not getting it till Friday.Looks great enjoy yourself and please report any glitches or bugs(that hopefully you will not encounter :) )!
Well so far its been nothing but awesome.
Looks absolutely awesome to be honest, i'm not trying to exeggerate. But after the many negative comments on the leaked footage last week, i was expecting dissapointing graphics. But i see nothing but awesome graphics, i'm in a dungeon now and it looks great. Almost as if there's bumpmapping on the walls, the textures look great and there are also environmental effects, looks sweet!!!!
Nice little details like when i found a book and i grabbed it, it flapped open. Loading times so far are very short, i had to reload in this dungeon and it was incredibly fast. Much much better than Oblivion. There have been people that claimed it didn't look that better or didn't run any better than Oblivion. I can only say that they have NO idea what they are talking about.
It looks WORLDS better than Oblivion and in terms of performance it's absolutely fine so far. Remember how badly optimized Oblivion was on Xbox 360? None of that.
Thanks for the info,now go,play the game,stop wasting your time here :) !
What system are you playing on sir?
Sweet, thanks for the screenshots.
I've been playing a Dunmer in The elder scrolls games for forever. The description in Skyrim says dark elves are the masters of sword, bow and destruction, as well as has plus sneak skill ratings so ill be playing dunmer yet again lol.
I'm playing on Xbox 360 :)
^ Ok thanks.
Any word on either system advantages/disadvantages? I'm not looking for an immature flame war, just any facts if they're out there. Own both systems and try to go with the superior version whenever possible. Did i mention I'm a graphics whore :)
The 360 was the lead platform for Skyrim, they only pretty much showed 360 and PC footage. I don't expect incredibly big differences between 360 and PS3, but honestly....i can't be sure about that. Fallout 3 on 360 and PS3...those differences weren't exactly little. And wiht several other multiplats that's the case, the 360 being the better one. If only slightly in some cases.
i really hope the shop where i preordered will call me tomorrow and i can pick this up right after work! i´m offline ´till 15th of november cause i moved in a new flat. skyrim (unpatched) will be perfect for my offline time. can´t wait. can´t decide which race. will probably go for elf (but which!!!) or Khajiit....probably female.
hell i will probably spent my first 100 hours in the charakter creation only
First 100 hours? OMFG! Nah...well i was expecting to be spending alot of time in there too. But pretty soon i decided that it was gonna be an argonian, fiddled alittle with the settings and done. So it was much quicker than i expect it to be.
Stop. I don't get it. Where did you got this game? It's not out and you already have it?
Unless you play a piated 360 version O_o
^ I've got plenty of console games early from ebay and local department stores (ie. Meijer, Target, Wal-Mart). Sometimes you'll get lucky and ask some moron working there, they go in back and grab it and it rings up. It's not uncommon man.

Practically every decent gamestore in my country (Holland) has been selling it since yesterday. I have no idea why they ignore the embargo...unless there ain't one.
Interesting. Thank you for the explanation. I don't have that luxury XD getting games earlier. Well then, i hope you will enjoy Skyrim.
I still need to wait for my copy, but until than it's Battlefield 3.
I hope my copy comes a day early, I've got the day off so that would be great. Whole day full for the next four days apart from a few hours so will be very unamused if it comes on Friday.
Even if you get it a day early for PC you have to wait for Steam to unlock which will be happening tomorrow around midnight.
