Hello folks, thats right, the long awaited (not as long as duke nukem) game is finally in our sights, next friday (the 11th) the 5th game in the elder scrolls series is getting released, sooo, who's getting it. ive pre-ordered my copy, have you?
I'm going to wait for a year or two. I prefer to get the Game of the Year editions with Bethesda games, and half the fun of those games comes from the modding community anyway (which will be very limited right at launch). I did pre-order "Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning" though, which looks every bit as amazing and is similar in some ways; Ken Rolston, the lead designer of Morrowind and Oblivion, is also the lead designer of Kingdoms of Amalur.
I was tempted on holding off on Skryim, for the same reasons Eleni stated as well as to ease up on the damage my game budget takes. But then EA's Origin happened with BF3 and ME3 and since I'm no longer keeping my preorder for ME3, well...might as well go all-in for Skyrim.
I will probally wait a few years till it is realitively cheap like I did with oblivion. When games are first realeased they cost way too much. Also this way I can check out all the reiviews though I expect the game to be awsome though you never know.
