Its really sort of satisifying, knowing that I've been playing Skyrim for about six hours now, and yet you guys are still running around waiting for it to become unlocked.  8)  I guess any lesser guy than myself would feel somewhat smug about it.  Still...

Its FRICKEN AWESOME!

It's unlocking for me, but appears to be stuck at 34%. Carp.

Any insights on why it's stuck at 34% unlocking for me and how to get that thing going?

Cancel, delete local content, restart Steam? :/

Or is the issue with verifying, as opposed to download+installing? In that case, above, minus deletion.

I think I am going to skip Skyrim and wait for its much better sequel. Something about this seems forgettable.

Maybe it is the fact that nothing except death and stun moves even phase enemies.

Skyrim VI: House building and village management.

Also, 6 minutes till I go dark, final updating before gameplay.

The install time is because of how the game is packaged through Steam.  Its held in a .sim file that has to be decrypted and then unpacked and checked to make sure the files haven't been corrupted.  Takes nearly three times longer than a traditional PC DVD installation. Bah.

After 20 mins installing... and 15 mins of waiting for it to update...

Doesn't matter.  Instead of creating their own installer, they used Steam's system to do it. Sloppy, that.
