Get Dark Souls if you haven't already, should last you until Skyrim's release.

Explore, join one or all of the guilds nd do their story lines., find dungeons, do the expansions if you have them, do side quests, do all the deadric shrine quests etc..,

[demoTron]

Ignore.... It's taken down. It was leaked gameplay

Huh. I've just gotten to Cloud Ruler Temple and I'm already level 13.

I finished the main quest as lvl 2.

Honestly, people that don't enjoy RPGs should just play through the main quest at level 2 if they want to play the game but not truly experience it.

Basically it's what you get with Call of Duty (not saying that's bad), but if you don't level up you can play the game in a linear fashion as you can with FPS games.

Although, in my personal opinion that is the single most stupid thing you could ever do with a game that has as much potential as games in the TES series do, it'd work for the people that bought the game without realizing what it was meant to be.

EDIT: And I'm not saying you're one of those people. I sort of wanted to beat the main quest and then play the rest of the game once it was over with.

[Broguts]

First playthrough: Nord with sword and shield, maybe heavy armor even though I hate it.
Second: Magical Argonian assassin
Third: Mundane Dark Elf assassin.

This and the edit are exactly what happened with me. :v:

Expected generic RPG #10000, got best RPG game I could.

Time to buy Frostcrag Spire and spell tomes dlc before I go dungeon running, I need a place to store loot. :v:

[QUOTE=sam2d2;33037187]Decided to watch it.
The guy playing it really annoys me. My loot everything instinct is kicking in but he's just ignoring corpses.[/QUOTE]

I usually try to stop myself from going "loot everything"

I notice I tend to enjoy a game less if I horde, especially since realistically it doesn't make any sense. To me, its the same thing as grinding, except instead of fighting for XP its collecting. But I'll still check corpses for any items most of the time, unless they are really generic baddies that I know won't ever have anything special on them

[Jimbojib]

Okay, I couldn't stay away.

Anyway, Skyrim has it's own little section in the dashboard, like you click the panel and it has a nice little menu thing, the only other game I've seen do this is Halo Reach, so it must be quite a big thing to microsft.

Post pictures or whatever of it.

[Darth-Veger]

I just finished the Dark Brotherhood quest line
And just to know they return in Skyrim is fucking awesome, can't wait to join them again

[coolity]

Uh, at the end of a dungeon I found an NPC named [sp]Umbra[/sp], what do I do?

Spoilered just incase.

Human nature man, if there was no penalty for doing it most people would pick up absolutely everything. The problem with TES is that the penalty for hoarding is much too small, your ability to function should decline based on how heavy your equipped items are and how heavy your carried items are, works for most other games, namely Demon's Souls (although carry weight doesn't have much of an effect on you or at all I don't think but you are very limited in what you can carry).

But yeah I agree with that, I don't hoard items unless they look important, I don't hoard items so that I can sell them at a merchant for infinite money, I try not to use obvious exploits that would allow me to break the economy the developers have put in place. But I wish they'd try to fix these problems rather than rely on player cooperation.

God, another fucking half-hour long intro sequence that's going to make replays a chore unless you get a mod that skips it all.

And the voice acting is still awful and the animations don't look much better than Oblivion's.

But, most of the environments that were show were, indeed, pretty.
I liked the stream and waterfall in the cave the most... with the water splashing against the rocks and such.

And atleast the combat looks a little better now apart from the insta-kill super-cool execution move.

[PunchedInFac]

Kill, take sword.

Attack, really weak NPC that has the best sword in the game, trust me you want that sword and it's a very easy fight one hit kill.

[sp]Jump on a pillar, and spam arrows at her until she dies. She has the most OP sword in the game[/sp]

Make a save right before the exit with all the gear you find in that area.

[coolity]

Hit it with my electricity spells.

My body is missing vital organs.

[Sgt Pepper]

Those videos being taken down really made it easy to keep everything a surprise

[coolity]

Oh god dat sword.

Oh and apparently I finished a daedric quest. :v:

What about creating different characters?... unless they keep that screen that has you double check the stats and everything.
Oh yeah, yet another stupid way to create your character.

The guards/executioners don't ask who any of the other prisoners are and yet when they get to you it's like "WAIT, WHO ARE YOU?" and then you get to select your race and everything.

I wish they'd just put character creation after you click new game, it would remove that element of silliness atleast.

I thought it was right after you started a new game, but you can always go back and edit as much as you want right before exiting the "tutorial zone"

[coolity]

Hm, is the armor I just got better than the armor for completing the main quest? Or worse?

[Tacosheller]

So does anyone have an alternate place to watch the tutorial? Zenimax took it down.

It would help if you told us what armor it was

that wouldn't really change anything. they ask who you are and you respond with the character creation. They knew who the other prisoners were since they had them on a list
