The scenery, music and gameplay are all I expected. Spent ages roaming around got splatted by a giant did a bit of the main quest all in all I like it, going to face my first dragon today.

The first one is quite easy, you face it at about level 4. Things became much easier when I figured out how to equip magic

Just bought this off Steam - am determined to give this one a real go, having never really played Oblivion or any other game like this before. The reviews universally rate this game very highly.

(downloading at 5.5MB/s - 7 minutes left!)

ETA - I thought this would be a huge HD hogger, but it's less than 6GB!

It's waiting at home for me, but I'm away till Tuesday! Argh!

Is it awesome? What are people playing as? Mages/tanks/rogues?

[Baron Greenback]

10 mins of minor Steam patch to go then play time! cant wait!

Trying not to get any spoilers, but a quick question to those who have played. I played the first 10 minutes, and didn't know which side to choose. Anyone know which is better, and if you can change down the line?

Just picked up my 360 copy at my local sainsburys at lunch. £36.99..cheaper than game.

Hopefully they will still give me reasons to kill civies.

Anyone who said the following:

"Look! There is the hero of Kavatch!"
"I saw a mud crab yesterday", "Yes, vile creature"

Got a swift blow to the head

Well, so much for Amazon Prime's 'guaranteed one day delivery'

I have waited for years for this game - played Oblivion obsessively, for months on end. Had to put it down as my wife threatened divorce.

It's at home now, waiting for me, and I can't wait to get into it. I'm 39 next month.

Amazon are a pretty decent company. I'd definitely contact customer services and you'll probably get some credit out of them for your next purchase.

I pre-ordered Skyrim too (for PC), but I'm actually busy this weekend so went for the standard delivery. You'll be pleased to know my copy hasn't popped through the letterbox yet!

I initially thought of being a Stormcloak but would a Bosmor elf really right for the Nords??? Starting to have doubts.

Stick me in the same crowded boat, no skyrim today, (PH Standard) strongly worded e-mail sent to amazon.

Amazon even sent me an e-mail a few weeks ago checking that I was ok with standard delivery, and saying that if I upgraded the delivery method I would be able to get it guaranteed for delivery today.

just popped in to tesco and picked it up on way home. i'm still not sure if i'll like it but i'm giving it a go.

i'll post my thoughts later (you'll be glad to know).

[Mobsta]

Well, Im glad I didnt pre-order.
In 7 pages, I dont think anyone actually answered the original question (that I can remember) which was... "Do I need to pre-order" (due to stock levels etc). I feared there would be no available stock whatsoever on shelves, but also disliked the idea of pre-ordering as copies do not always turn up.

Not really fair on the hard core gamers who commit loyalty and money to a company well in advance, by pre-ordering, only to be let down.

Picked up a copy in town, Im at home but have more work to do yet zzz
Looking forward to settling down to give it a whirl tonight
