kingtitan Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 As many of you may or may not use steam to play games, I glanced over the their news section and found this article pertaining to the release of Skyrim: http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/01/10/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-combat-levelling-and-quest-details-revealed/ After reading over it, I can't say I'm any in the least dissapointed or any less excited for the release of this game. Even with the scant info provided by the short description, it really sounds like bethesda has truly listened to their many fans. Addressing problems from leveling to "dynamic combat" it sounds like we really do have a pretty awesome game on the way. I really loved Oblivion, but I have no doubt in my mind that Skyrim will most undoubtedly blow Oblivion out of the water. I would strongly encourage you to at least browse it, as it puts at least some speculation to rest about the content of the new game. Please, by all means leave your own comments, I want this to start conversation about Skyrim! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderCrazy Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 As long as its not on steam or have online activation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingtitan Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 I didn't think about that; it would really put a damper on the game in general if they did make you go through steam. I prefer just the good old put the disc in, install, and play instead of the steam mode. But anyway thats just where i saw the news link, I don't really think though that they have anything to do with how the game will be released.

h3Xh3X Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I think the game will release in a retail version and in a steam version, as did Oblivion. That suits me fine, as I'll buy the retail version. Some games work well with steam, Elder Scrolls games do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingtitan Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 Agreed, it will certainly be the retail version for me. Plus, if you are like me and install most of your mods manually, steam makes it more tiresome to do so, which of course always makes the retail version more appealing. But still, all steam discussion aside, i encourage everyone to read the link I posted above and start some good Skyrim discussion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thought Rift Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 yeah agreed with commandercrazy. That was one of the biggest headache with the other big release DA2. Bought retail and ended up cracking it.This game looks sick. gonna do a mega upgrade just for Skyrim. it would help if bethesda released some kinda Req indication.

Thought Rift Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I do see one issue though... Howard said they are doing Thieves, Fighters, mages Guild. No assassin faction mentioned. The brotherhood was pretty cool the play around with and added a very nice dimension to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoba333 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I think they've mentioned the Dark Brotherhood once, but they haven't really talked about it since. Oh well, if they don't include it we always have mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingtitan Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 Yea... that is going to create major problems for me as I am generally an assassin type character as it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaroncox Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 can we be sure that it's not a requirement to go through steam? i bought shogun total war from walmart, and had to download it completely through steam. turns out my internet was too slow to download the entire game. the waiting time was 1 year. so i paid 50 dollars for a game i still haven't got a chance to play. i'm thinking of sueing to be honest.
