Lucky devils.

I thought about going to see if any stores were open, but I decided to wait until tomorrow when I drop my kids off at daycare. Post some impressions - please. Especially about the 360 version, because that's what I've decided to go with.

I was #250 in line.

And I almost didn't get my strategy guide.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Bah...I have the 360 controller hooked up but I want to use the mouse and keyboard...it detects the controller over the m&k. Much like The Witcher 2 did when it first came out....

here's a pic in ultra settings...with my Orc GorGutz gonna start a proper waaagh! oops wrong lore...

Yep. Have to make sure the controller is unplugged before loading.

Game is playing like crap. On startup it did the auto-detect settings things and recommended ultra. Was getting like 20fps. Put it down to High and somehow it's running even worse.

Phenom II x6 1090T
8Gig DDR3
Radeon 6950 1Gig

Nothing oc'd.

Oh, and Steam got hacked.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Spent the last hour creating my character (Redguard) & I'm still not done.

I spent almost 20 minutes just deciding on a name.

One gripe I have so far:

PC menu controls are too consolized. Keyboard navigation works better than the mouse, which is fine, but the fact that it takes precedence is a flaw (IMO). Also, has anyone else figured out how to change the camera distance when in 3rd-person view? Has this been taken out since those preview videos a few months ago?

tronbinson: Try turning of FXAA. I had mine switched on and it would suffer slow-downs every now and then. Switched it off and it's smooth running. I'm running on Ultra settings.

I got there at exactly midnight.

And...lol, I think there may have been between 265-270.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

So anyone else notice the messed up noses or was it just me/360 not installed only problem?

Can mess with your character for 3 days and they'll never look as good as Oblivion.

That's a mod. Skyrim will have those too.

Seeing the "runs like crap" issue for a lot of people.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Just screaming random Elder Scrolls stuff but the worse is I think 90% of them just learned cuss words today and want to try them out as much as possible.

Yeah it was the same for me. Lot of teenager looking kids there as well. Had this loud group right near me in line, twice a kid from it jumping around like an idiot bumped into me without apologizing, so nice that parents let their high schoolers out that late and don't teach them any manners. Was surprising since MW3 is already out I figured they'd be playing that, shouting obscenities anytime they get killed. I was shocked that there were so many people, I actually had to wait in line for about an hour.

I've done a couple MR's before and this particular GS has never had that many at one. It annoys me that a retail disc has to install from steam as well. So what's on the disc nothing? Just a cd check executible? shesh slow *** download. wanna play already.
