Well, nobody has to use the VPN to download. You can download it locally (preload should be available everywhere by now), then log in via VPN , start steam, double click the game, then Steam will decrypt the game files, then you disconnect the VPN again and play as usual.
I also don't think I can let people download the entire game from that VPN, since it's a 2day trial with very limited bandwidth.

Ah, okay, I misunderstood how it was going to work. Good on you to offer it up to everyone, though, I'm sure folks who are able to utilize it will worship you for 15 minutes until they are playing Skyrim and totally forget about you. XD
doesn't matter to me, I'm getting my copy right from the Bethesda Studio lololol /epeen.

I went ahead and bought the vpn trial for me and my friend to share. 14 hours of skyrim for $2 is worth it. Don't want to wait till midnight to start playing. That site is very easy to use and reliable. Would recommend it for anyone thinking about it, kind of hard to find an Australian vpn.

Is this easy to setup and use? I'd probably pay the 2 bucks for this but I'm not sure how to use it.

Really really easy, you install the software then log in, select the australia server (should be default) and click a connect button. That's pretty much it, make sure to buy the OpenVPN one.
When skyrim comes out use the vpn to decrypt the game files then set steam to offline, and turn off the vpn. Don't log back into steam before skyrim comes out in the united states without the vpn otherwise it will probably mess up the skyrim install.
People did the same thing with deus ex and other games, you can't really get banned for doing this unless you purchase games with the vpn.

i dont know if this has been posted yet, but Todd Howard said the game will have infinite quests!!! Apperantly once the main quests/ main quest lines are done(like dark brotherhood, theives guild etc), the game will procedurally generate new quests according to your rank/skill, etc. Fucking....Awesome....

Yes, highly unlikely you will be banned for doing something like this. Only way I could see you getting banned would be buying a game with the vpn, ie. getting it cheaper. Pretty sure a valve employee okay'd it awhile back on the steam forums. Either way everyone I know that has done it multiple times have never had issues. Just take some extra precautions like making sure steam isn't on when you turn on the vpn and setting steam to offline mode before you turn off the vpn and start playing skyrim.
The only time your really using the vpn to connect to the steam servers is decrypting the files, and that's a pretty small time frame.
Oh, and also make sure on that site you buy the instant purchase or whatever instead of the paypal subscription, so you don't get billed monthly.

just found out they tried delivering the game while I was at work, argh!

This is gonna be great!
I think for my first playthrough I'm going full immersion / hardcore mode. I have this crazy leatherbound tome that I've had for so long that I am going to use for recipes and map-making and such, I'm kind of getting all excited in the most nerdy way I've ever gotten excited...
FUUUU FRIDAY HURRY UP.

It actually sounds really interesting to me. Aside from the fact that the quests were said to be reasonably varied, I absolutely adore exploring Bethesda games! I can really get lost in them.

From the article, it doesn't sound like it's just going to be that.
The theives guild will give you pilfer targets, you'll get assassination targets, innkeepers will send you to places you haven't been yet, so on. More promoting exploring and such.
I mean you can take every RPG and grind it down to a "generic fetch quest" in some way shape or form, give it some credit.
The game’s Radiant quest system randomly generates new tasks based on your progress in the game. An innkeeper might ask you to hunt for bandits in a place you haven’t found yet, or an aspiring alchemist could request that you collect 10 undiscovered flowers for his work. Howard claims that the options are endless.
In addition to these minor tasks, Howard says you’ll be able to do extra work for each of the game’s factions, like the Dark Brotherhood and the Thieves Guild. Once you complete the scripted quest lines for each group, you can go to their respective hubs and pick up randomly generated missions to steal gems or assassinate shopkeepers across Skyrim’s massive world.
just in case you didn't read the article.

It's a good step, if it doesn't work, we can just ignore them or mod them. Otherwise its great cause it means that they are trying to advance the game in a good way.

Does anyone know by the way if the PC version of the game will support using a PS3 controller? Or is this something that will only work after mods and whatnot.
|
It almost certainly will if the game is coming out for PS3 as well as PC. I don't know that though, because I only own a PC and xbox360.

The ps3 controller works with all pc games just dl the third-party drivers.
