drahkon Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 I'm slightly winging it by getting it on friday, I can't play it til monday. Shopto dispatched my copy today. But I'll be in Bruges from tomorrow on. Until Monday. No, I'm looking forward to spending four days in fucking Bruges
nightwolf Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 It's my mum's birthday this weekend, luckily, I'm working 2-11 all next week and have Tuesday off, so that should be gooooood. It's the only game this year I've been really excited about.
drahkon Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 I don't have to work at all next week. I will neglect my social life and get lost in the world of Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. I simply cannot wait. It's the only game this year I've been really excited about. Same for me. Just up there with Dark Souls.
Jimbob Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 Shopto dispatched my order (with a nice picture of the package, how nice of them) earlier today. Can't wait to get my hands on it. If it arrives tomorrow, i'll be customising all night i think
Deathjam Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 Damn new i should of gone with shopto instead of amazon. Ah well steam would have delayed play till friday anyways.
Ville Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 Will be interesting to see what kind of spells we have this time. Although, not very confident about leviation making a return...no idea why they removed it in Oblivion, made Morrowind great fun to play! I mean the mages can do all other kinds of crazy stuff anyway, and flying totally completes that picture! Makes you feel like teh Master of the Universky or something Actually, that omission is prob one reason why Oblivion didn't feel so awesome as Morrowind...dang. Well, at least there should be dual magic or something like that this time. Friday = details...
Shorty Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 Can we make a big announcement that shopto now take pictures of their shipments, and you can safely stfu about it now? :p This one, unfortunately, is going to have to go on the maybe-for-christmas list :3 Or perhaps I will trade in BF3...
Emasher Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 Pre-loading via Steam at the moment. Can't wait. What races and classes are people planning on playing as? I'm thinking I might start out as a battle mage again, as I did in oblivion, but I'm not really sure about race yet.
Deathjam Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 Funny thing is alot of the things like levitation and open cities are possible with oblivion via mods, but obviously mostly only possible on PC. I say mostly cos there are claims it's possible on consoles but all sounded retarded/illegal/unfeasable.
Emasher Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 illegal Since when is violating an EULA a criminal offense?
Deathjam Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 Since when is violating an EULA a criminal offense? Some methods stated requiring a chipped machine and all were found amoungst posts of angry fanboys on youtube. I don't know how valid the claims were, but if I want to mod a game, ill be sticking to pc, hence why i bought pc version of skyrim. Can't wait to see what the modders can achieve. And amazon sent me a dispatch mail so if im lucky, i'll be oggling my copy of skyrim probably in the afternoon.
Emasher Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 I'm pretty sure that's still just a civil thing at the most. Its your hardware, you have the right to do what you want with it. If you violate someone's copy-write, they can sue you. If you break the EULA they can ban you from PSN/XBL, but unless you live in some sort of nanny state you're not going to get charged with anything... oh wait...
Ville Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) Funny thing is alot of the things like levitation and open cities are possible with oblivion via mods, but obviously mostly only possible on PC. I say mostly cos there are claims it's possible on consoles but all sounded retarded/illegal/unfeasable. Heh, well actually I did play Morrowind on the PC, and with the Oblivion mana regen mod running! The mods really can make the game better / more fun to play...Unfort my PC can't handle newer games at all, so I have to stick to the vanilla 360 version...not given modding a real thought thus far, and your post doesn't really encourage me more either. PC also has one more benefit, i.e. the keyboard + mouse; a much more comfortable combination than a gamepad in these kinds of games... Edited November 10, 2011 by Ville Grammatical nit-picking ;D

Don't think it is over here.
McPhee Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 I got my copy (PC) this morning. Doesn't unlock until tomorrow How stupid.
Cube Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 This is annoying. At some random point ShopTo reset my delivery address to my card address. Where I no longer live.
Deathjam Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 (edited) I got my copy (PC) this morning. Doesn't unlock until tomorrow How stupid. Craaaaaaaap EDIT: It's even worse than expected, wont even allow a pre install of the game. REALLLLLY stupid. But puts steam users ahead as they are allowed a pre-install, even if it takes aeons to decrypt those files. Edited November 10, 2011 by Deathjam
Emasher Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 it certainly is in America and maybe Canada as well? Don't think it is over here. In most countries it can be a bit of grey area, and it really depends on context. But the mod chips themselves generally aren't illegal. Some countries make circumventing DRM measures illegal (The United States as an example) so if that was your intent, you could potentially be charged, but people who just modify the hardware generally aren't breaking any laws. Again, it all depends on context. Craaaaaaaap EDIT: It's even worse than expected, wont even allow a pre install of the game. REALLLLLY stupid. But puts steam users ahead as they are allowed a pre-install, even if it takes aeons to decrypt those files. Shouldn't take too long. Its only 6 GB or so (surprisingly), which is smaller than most games.

But puts steam users ahead as they are allowed a pre-install, even if it takes aeons to decrypt those files. It's sad, but I turned to Skirow to sort this out. Now installed, cracked and ready to go Driving lesson in 20 mins so not bothering to play it right now, don't want to spoil the undoubtedly epic intro. While I really like Steam, it's times like this that it just ticks me off.
Jimbob Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 I got my copy (PC) this morning. Doesn't unlock until tomorrow How stupid. That is stupid. If they are doing this, then shouldn't they put a block on early copies for the consoles. I know it probably is impossible to do. This is annoying. At some random point ShopTo reset my delivery address to my card address. Where I no longer live. Umm. Hope you can still pick it up. Craaaaaaaap EDIT: It's even worse than expected, wont even allow a pre install of the game. REALLLLLY stupid. But puts steam users ahead as they are allowed a pre-install, even if it takes aeons to decrypt those files. Why's that, Steam users shouldn't be allowed to jump ahead in my opinion, sounds a little unfair to me. All i know is, that my copy is at home. Probably won't go on it tonight, there's a Time Team special on at 9 and Russell Howard is on afterwards. May get on, who knows.
Cube Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Umm. Hope you can still pick it up. It's not too bad - my old house is my Gradma's house. She phoned to let me know it arrived, and said I may as well stay for tea. So free food.
Happenstance Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 If anyones interested, Giant Bomb are doing a 12 hour live play of Skyrim starting at 4pm (I think). Theyve already been playing Morrowind and Oblivion throughout the day (or night for them). http://www.giantbomb.com/chat/
Deathjam Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 I just wanna play my copy of skyrim Got Really busy day tomorrow starting from 10:00am
Tales Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 I'm not really that into western RPGs of this type, but reading a couple reviews this looks a bit interesting. Can I get much done before Zelda? Or is it an 100+ hour game?
nightwolf Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 I've not got a copy yet, I didn't pre-order as I've just had shit going on, but if I can't find Skyrim under £35 in town tomorrow, I'm steaming it up. Not that I can play it until Monday anyway..
