Actually I think it'll unlock at 00:00 of whatever timezone it is where Bethesda is located. I'm guessing it'll be around 02:00 for me.

It'll unlock at 00:00 PST, because that's where steams servers are located.

I pre-ordered DX:HR on Steam, and it downloaded before release, but didn't automatically unlock overnight when I left Steam open. I had to manually tell it to unlock - and then it failed to do so and it took me several hours to figure out why - it was due to a recent (at the time) Avast update causing Avast to interfere with Steam and make Steam generate an error code instead of unlocking or patching any games). I was able to work around it by disabling Avast temporarily (exclusions didn't work). It took Avast several weeks to get around to fixing the problem (and that's not including the time before DXHR's release, when it was even preventing some people from playing L4D2 somehow unless Avast was disabled or uninstalled entirely - that having been reported and there being a multi-page thread on Avast's forum about it by the time I ran into the unlocking/patching breaking issue).

This time I pre-ordered from Gamestop (and traded in wii games for it). I'll be in town that day already.

I'm going to be playing this on Livestream on 11/11/11's morning, BST / GMT+0, if anybody can't afford / can't unlock yet.

By morning, I mean, once Game delivers it. I'll be pretty pissed if it's not on time.

I'll only be able to play it at around 14:00 (-3 GMT, but consider it -2 since "summer time" is in effect) since class only ends at 12:50

I'm avoiding details, but am I right in my impression that werewolves are confirmed to be in now?

If so: yesssssssss

I promised myself since the release date was announced that I wouldn't play it until December so it won't interfere with school. Oh well... At least by then there should be plenty of info built up and maybe even a bugfix.

I mean, I waited like 5 years for new Elder Scrolls werewolves. Another month will be nothing...

All I've seen are a few blurry screenshots, haven't read nor heard anything else about werewolves.

From some of the leaked footage I have seen, both Vampirism and Lycanthropy are in Skyrim. What more is there to say?   :-X

Do they function properly? Oblivion's Vampirism functioned HORRIBLY! (Or so I hear)

Yea, Oblivion's vampirism worked pretty nicely, at least compared to morrowind's. In morrowind vampirism locked you out of a fair bit of the game, while you could bypass that limitation with some effort in oblivion.

Also, didn't they say lychantropy wasn't going to show up in skyrim? I mean werewolves exist as mobs but I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that you won't be able to turn into one.
