Came away very impressed with some of the little things- the slight graphic improvements, the execution animations look really cool, I like how the drawback to 2 handed weapons is slower swinging speed. The third person movement animations also look much better, and archery this time around feel stronger than in Oblivion, where it felt like you were throwing rocks at your enemies. All the combat improvements you mentioned are great to here. Especially the archery. I always loved archery in oblivion, but it was never very viable just because it took so long to kill them. I still have yet to watch any gameplay for the same reasons as you, but I am SOOoooo close to breaking down cause I just want a taste of anything Skyrim. Hopefully I can make it till friday, but idk, even now i'm liking forcing myself to not look at any videos XD | ||

Except that I can't wait and hope it's not as buggy as Oblivion was, since I'll probably get it for the Xbox. | ||

"Is this awful" isn't a very clear question, though. What part of the skill system are you talking about -- major / minor skills, how you level up your skills, how you level in general? All that info should be online already -- someone posted all the skill trees a few pages back, should be here on Reddit, with a lot of talk about how the skills work in general. If it's something else, ask away, someone can probably answer. | ||

How many joinable guilds/factions with questlines are there? Warrior, mage, thief and dark brotherhood I know. Are there any more? Also Stormcloaks and Imperials but are they part of the main quest line? | ||

I don't remember exactly how things worked in Oblivion but I remember having to kind of abuse the system in a way, not picking skills I wanna be good at, trying not to do too much of certain things. I don't know, I just remember the system tying your hands in an awful way (though I enjoyed the game anyway) and I wondered if things are the same now. | ||

I don't know, I just remember the system tying your hands in an awful way (though I enjoyed the game anyway) and I wondered if things are the same now. In that case, I know what you mean, and yes, it was awful :-p Or at least, if you wanted to actually gain stats when you leveled so you could keep up with the leveled-up mobs, then yeah. That should be better in Skyrim -- in Oblivion, you leveled after you got 10 major skill-ups. But you also got to increase your base attributes, and you got bigger increases for the more skill-ups in a certain attribute you had. So to get the biggest increases to your attributes, you had to level your minor skills a lot before you leveled your majors and leveled up. Basically every time you leveled, you could increase your attributes by as little as 3 or as much as 15, but the mobs always got steadily stronger. From what I've read that shouldn't be a problem in Skyrim. There are no attributes like strength, intelligence, etc. -- instead, every time you level you can add 10 points to either health, stamina, or magicka, so every time you level up you get stronger by a set amount. There are also no classes, no major or minor skills, so every skill increase will contribute to leveling up. Basically you should be free to just play how you want and get naturally stronger, and then invest into the skill trees to improve the skills you want to use most. | ||

I don't have the best connection, I'm scared that it won't dl in time for release. Its usually about 2-3 days before release. Steam servers are going to be clogged for a while after they start doing it so everyone is going to be stuck with 20 KB/s download speed if any at all for the first few hours. But even with a terribad connection you should be able to download it in time for release, alltho you might have to leave the computer on for the night or something if your connection is really bad. | ||
