The problem is I waited to buy the game at Game Stop. Now I'm home, and it's downloading some massive update and the servers are clogged. I also have DSL (only real option where I live) which isn't helping. Downloading a 5.7g update, and I'm not even at 10% yet.

I should probably just go to bed and get an early start tomorrow.

Only you can prevent forest fires.

Pretty cool that I can roast someone and swing at them at the same time.

Stealin' horses: it's an Elder Scrolls tradition.

What's that, you're going to stop me? Do you have horses? No? BYE!

BTW, this game actually runs better than Oblivion. Awesome.

Apparently in Skyrim you can rob people blind by putting a bucket over their heads first. Heh.

Imperial Battlemage FTW!

Been playing for a couple of hours now. Started out as a dark elf, but I think I may start over and play a more combat-based character to start. I really like the smithing skill. I think I'll switch to either a Nord or Redguard.

Really enjoying this. :thumb:

I've also started off as a Dark Elf -- love the dual casting destruction spells.
Just over 3 hours in and I've faced my first dragon.. Time to get these shouts going.

Loving it

damnit....I broke the "before the storm" quest. I ran into Gerdun while she was walking to her house and talked to her there, and for some reason it skipped past the quest dialoge. Was my first run, so I went past it all and played for a few a couple hours without realizing it, so I reloaded back to before that and talked to her at the mill and got it all. I can't get the console to tell me the questid to try to complete it that way, so I guess I either have to wait for someone somewhere to find it, re-play the 2 hours of stuff I did, or...option three, take a nap now and get ready for The old Republic weekend test tonight.

I am going with option 3 I think.

Found a copy... Had to go a few different places first.

Oh, and if you buy Skyrim from Target they also give you a $10 gift card. :thumb:

what's the deal with this hybrid keyboard/mouse inventory navigation?

you can't just click on something you have to arrow key over to it first and then click it.

unless i'm doing it wrong ... kind of a pain.
