I was in shop today looking at all the people buying mw3. I was jealous the game I'm waiting was not released yet.

How could you possibly feel jealous? You could feel pity maybe. Now, if they had been buying Arkham City, then you could have felt jealous.

-Morrowind had depth, Oblivion didn't-

Very well put. I think you've got onto why Morrowind felt so differently from Oblivion. Story, rhyme and reason were considered from the beginning, and a game was built around that - Having previous games to build on didn't hurt either. In Oblivion (And many other games, past and present), the story was loosely attached to the game and molded around a few broad ideas. It didn't make it a bad game, but the difference was stark. They seem like completely different games, mechanics aside.

I can't be too sure with Skyrim, though. From what I've seen, it looks better than Oblivion, which is a start. I recall the PC talking to a blacksmith, who shared some back story, but I don't know if that was the rule or the exception. We'll see, I guess.

I got this on release day shipping via Amazon.  I totally can't wait! AT ALL!

I'm thinking I'll be going Bosmer.

l...

That's weird.
I also have amazon release day shipping and am planning to play as a Bosmer.

The only reasonable explanation is that you are my evil twin.

So you're that guy in the mirror!

[Shadowlord]

You're the Bosmer John Mirra. Welcome to the next level.

Leaked review copy. Gotta say, I am enjoying it a lot. I answered some questions in DFC earlier today.

[Danaru]

On one hand, I really want to play the leaked copy, on the other hand I'm a bit worried it'll cheapen the feeling on friday (the game releases at the same time as my vacation starts, it's going to be awesome)

[Croquantes]

Preloading the Skyrim goodness right now. So excited. 

[Grakelin]

Hey, has anybody called this game "Oblivion II: Escape From Morrowind" yet?

[Sergius]

Telvanni Forces III> The Secret of Oblivion Island: LeUnderking's Revenge

Yeah I have no idea what I'm talking about.

[Sensei]

You know, I bet you could make a mod which gives the option "witty retort" alongside asking someone to yield in combat.

Um... How appropriate, you fight like a cow?

[Sergius]

Insult swordfighting mod? That would rule.

[Comp112]

Oh, yielding in combat doesn't seem to work...That or I am doing it very, very wrong.

Also, when an enemy yields KILL THEM. For the love of all that is [insert whatever here] that amount of times I turned around after an enemy yield, and shot me in the back...Not cool.

[Spitfire]

I can't wait any longer. =(

[Teneb]

If yielding is anything like oblivion, then the enemy must like you to accept it.


Apparently, the game will be available for me tomorrow at 22:00. I can't wait.

From what I've read, you can walk + talk with NPCs as they go about their daily routine. There's also been a promise of increased AI responsiveness and integrity, to make them feel more realistic.

If I can finally make friendships with people in-game that feel special, I'll be happy to settle down and go about village business.

I don't like the whole dragonshouts thing. Seems to "Godly" or "Overpowered" or "Special". What I like about TES beforehand, is that you start out as you start out - a prisoner, given freedom. You feel like just-another-civilian, who isn't above the law and expected to do anything.
Admittantly, I haven't read too much into the game, as to avoid ruining moments of "Holy shit, I can DO THAT?!", so I could be wrong in that the player starts out expected of things.
