Madae Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) Don't be silly, OP. The Nexus/Bethesda forum absolutely does not constitute the majority of people that have preordered this game. You are not going to get mugged for Skyrim... seriously. To think that people would be willing to risk going to jail for a video game is pretty funny... I mean, you would have to have a pretty low opinion of people in general to think that it were even remotely imaginable.

RejectedCamel Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 <troll>Don't worry. If you get injured, just hit behind a box for 10 seconds and let your health regenerate. C WAT I DID THAR?</troll> But meh, don't go. If you go to the midnight release it means you'll won't be able to play it as soon as it unlocks on Steam, and every minute not playing Skyrim is a minute wasted. http://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/psyduck.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he's not going to get mugged for Skyrim, but you have to have a pretty overly optimistic view of people to believe that there aren't people out there who'd steal/mug and risk jail for a video game.It's happened before, it'll happen again.

Seriously, just take a step back and listen to yourself - it's a videogame. Quit acting like this is a pot of gold waiting to be snatched. The last instance I heard of anyone getting seriously rowdy over something like this was probably the 360 launch, and even that wasn't even comparable to the PS2 launch - and we're talkin' about something more than 4 times the cost. No one is going to fight/mug you for this game, and if someone does, it's far more likely he/she cares more about what's in your wallet and just happens to take the game, too.

In no way am I saying it's a "pot of gold waiting to be snatched" or at all saying that there's any way he's about to get mugged for Skyrim. Even if people routinely mugged for video games they wanted, I suspect Skyrim would be very low on that list.But pretending that crap like this doesn't actually happen is just, well, incorrect. We've had it happen in my city, heck, last night at the Call Of Duty launch a couple of guys got robbed for their copies when they were a bit away from the shop. And yes, it was for Call Of Duty. People commit petty crime for pretty much anything, and there's not much difference between threatening someone for £20 or threatening someone for a game which actually holds more value. I'm not suggesting it's a pandemic and the streets aren't safe and you should avoid midnight launches, I'm simply saying that people are idiots, and there are definitely people out there who would be willing to mug someone for a game.
