How does it look on 360? Was hoping it would look like BF3 on PC but apparently not so, hopefully find out tonight!

Hi.....I'd say it's about 360 Fallout New Vegas grapical quality, don't get me wrong, there are some absolutely fantastic looking mountain vistas - but I'm a little disappointed by the character models for example - they still look very last gen to me.

I have been waiting so long for this game but haven't got round to ordering it. Not a problem I think to myself, I'll just ring around tomorrow and nip out to the nearest store and collect a copy after work so I can get a couple of hours gameplay done tomorrow evening before heading over to my girlfriend's house at 8pm.

10 minutes ago I received a message from said girlfriend - 'I'm working late tomorrow and expecting a delivery of logs at about 5.30pm, could you go straight from work to mine to pay the delivery driver?'.

I stupidly said yes - now I will have to wait until Monday before I get to buy and play the game. I must be in love with her.

Played morrowind/oblivion? It's the next one.

failing that, played fallout 3/new vegas? It's like them, just medieval with dragons and awesomeness.

failing that, it's a pretty RPG with dragons.

Im expecting my copy to arrive in the post today or tomorrow, dont plan on having a lot of sleep this weekend if how i played oblivion is anything to go buy. Im hoping the "300+ hours" of gameplay outside of the main story will be true! In the mean time MW3 is proving a good distraction.

CVG site gives it 95 but with these ominous words:

"In its review the mag states that bar the occasional "mood breaking" AI moment, Skyrim's "beautiful sprawling world" more than lives up to expectations for both fans of the series and newcomers.

"Ultimately Skyrim is a lot like Fallout: New Vegas - there are some flaws but they pale into significance compared to the sheer scope of the game"

I'll wait a month I think for the PC version.

My colleague has been harping on about this game for weeks.

I finally gave in and the Amazonians have dispatched my PC copy.
