The collector's edition is $150. I don't know if prices differ from console to PC, but I think that 150 is for the 360.

My best friend is getting that edition, and I'm jsut getting the regular. Less money spent, and we can share it. We have a list of game we both want to play, and we split them up. I get half and he gets half, and we both borrow them when we want.

I recommend that system. It saves money, for sure.

Here's an article on some game-time from Kotaku:

I don't know if the prices differ, but I don't think they should. At this point, google is your best friend.

The worst part about Skyrim...

No new info, but he's Todd the god Howard, so I figure it's worth posting. :p

Plenty of answers!!!

Footage from PAX: http://www.xboxdailynews.com/2011/08/29 ... -from-pax/

Log into facebook, then open this link. You SHOULD be able to see the character presets. If not, then look for the page "The Elder Scrolls," first, then try again. It's worth it.

Wow.... they went there. Probably the only thing I found that I will not like in Skyrim:

"Will not fix bugs, if they're fun." Like in Oblivion, the duping glitch, for example.

.....If you weren't excited before, you better be now, knowing that they have gone to such detail as to make BEES and DRAGONFLIES killable.

Another unique play session with Skyrim:

http://www.g4tv.com/games/xbox-360/6471 ... wnspeople/

Anything to say about any of the links I posted there? I personally love the Frost Troll's appearance. Popping out of the snow like that. You know, that encounter is what THIS is based off of:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7VLQcn4wV0


I've decided to take notes on the twenty minutes of Skyrim footage:

1:27, LOVE the swings.

2:51. Only one of the three wolves is Brown. does this indicate the level of the wolf, or perhaps that he is the leader of the pack?

3:25. WTHECK!!!! The bandit KICKS the player, no? That's flipping awesome. I look forward to doing so as well. And what race is he? Doesn't look like the now asian Bosmer. Perhaps a Breton.

3:51. Notice the Imperial Sword, as well as the Steel Battle Ax.... It calls to me. It's, so beautiful. XD

5:36. That guy... Is bad@$$.

5:54. Mounting animation, ftw?

6:32. Horse-sprint. <3

7:24. Detect Life and Rage spells are looking freaking awesome.

7:50. Notice how much health is taken out by the bow. And how you can put it away without having to fire your already-drawn arrow shortly thereafter.

8:55. I might also point out the new sneak system, and answer questions about it if anyone has them.

9:20. Sting has a cousin! And it looks even cooler!

9:50. Dragon shout for "FUS RO DAH," or basically a force push. It's only the first level of the shout, since he only used one of the three words.

10:04. "SKEEVER," the new name for giant rats, I assume.

10:45. Arvel the Swift..... Not swfit enough, I suppose. I love how he's grabbed whilst the character's hand is on fire. XD "BURRRRRN!!!!"

10:53. "Hide Boots".... Me gusta.

11:27. This seems to be a "TURN UNDEAD"-like spell, repelling undead beings.

11:38. Another dragon shout: "WHIRLWIND SPRINT," allowing you to speedily move in one direction (at this level of the shout. I'm not sure about the abilities of the more advanced levels.)

11:56. That Draugr Deathlord wields the ax like a boss. Shortly thereafter is the SLOW TIME dragon shout. Looks nice.... Might help me get some well-placed shots with my bow.

13:11. Stare at those little spell previews, for they look dazzling.

16:00. Frost Atronach.... Looks interesting..... : /

17:39. Now, Todd had modded stats, that he might not die during the presentation. So, having around 999 health, notice how much damage is done by the giants. Puts it in a bit of perspective, no?

17:48. RAGDOLL PHYSICS!!! Lol.

18:16. Moral of the story, don't taunt a dragon.


More notes in a bit.

19:12. Ugly mace mysteriously morphs to awesome ax... lol

19:34. Notice the three dragon words needed to unlock the full power of the shout.

20:04. LOL. I love how he decides to go skydiving. Good thing he has god-stats, otherwise he wouldn't survive that.

20:19. they say that the terrain doesn't deform or get destroyed, but afte the dragon's rough landing, I'd say that's not true.

20:33. Dragon finishing move. Nice. Shortly thereafter, the dragon decides to ragdoll a bit all over the ground.... Not so nice.


Now, which diety of the Elder Scrolls universe do you tend to favor?
I think I like Kyne, of the Nordic myth. Any goddess that teaches the Thu'um (Elder Scrolls Wiki article, UESP article) is pretty sweet in my book.

This game is going to be amazing.

Skyrim, collector's edition anyone?
My best friend says he's getting it, and I can "share" his artbook and everything I don't have with my standard edition. :P Therefore, I'm saving 90 bucks.
