Well, it's less than a month away, and probably the only game I'll buy in 2011... Do I need to pre order a copy, if so from where (not a big gamer, but I understand some folk pre order god knows how long in advance to be assured a copy, or is that just console releases?)

Who else is looking forward to this as much as I am? bounce
I did search for a thread but search isn't responding, and I can't find any recent threads either.

I cannot wait for this to come out. I've got it on preorder from Amazon for the 360. I did have it on order for the PS3 but considering Bethesda record for the PS3 I changed my mind. I've booked a week off work to play this as well nerd .

Have you watched the gameplay vids yet?

You dedicated nerd tongue out

Watched the gameplay vies months ago, I've not read up on it since... But decided there and I wanted it.

The second or third last game I got was oblivion, release day. As you can tell, I don game much.

Sooooo, do I need to pre order, to avoid disappointment?

I can't see you needing to. Most people will be waiting for MW3 or Battlefield 3.

The PC specs are being released next week.

I really want to get the limited edition but it's £130 which is a lot for a video game.

I'm a fan of ordering from shopto.net. Usually one of the cheaper places online and games are usually recieved the day before release date.
I've had Skyrim on order for a while smile

I really hope that this game keeps the charm that Oblivion had. When you are out in the Great Forest and the sun is setting, some nice and mellow music is playing I don't think many games can match it. I'm still playing it now. I think I've got about 180hrs racked up on one save and about 150 hrs on another.

Really looking forward to this, won't bother pre-ordering it though. Oblivion is still one of my favourite games so I hope this lives up to the hype, it looks excellent from the previews I've seen.

Can't see why people are getting so excited to be honest. Given past efforts, once patched, patched, patched, and patched some more, it will be epic, but on release it will be a buggy POS causing much grief and heartache.

This is more pc than console though, isn't it? Console developers don't release the bug ridden versions quite as much as pc games, or at least that was the case a decade ago when I last bought plenty of games of both platforms.

This is one of my most anticipated games of all time. Oblivion is one of my favourite games, I spent hundreds of hours playing it and I didn't even do any story missions.

I've been on a blackout for Skyrim, I haven't looked at any pictures or videos of it and I can't wait until it comes out! biggrin

Yes the 360 one was also completely screwed. I like to think this will be better. Also new Vegas was made by someone else no?

Got a feeling is is the same game engine or whatever you call it. Bertha.... studios worked on both i think. Anyway even with the bugs and the freezing fallout new vegas was still brilliant, and this will be better!

New Vegas ran on the same engine as Fallout 3 (and Oblivion), didn't it? Skyrim has a completely new engine which could be a good or bad thing from a bug perspective.
