Elder Scrolls V

[Fire Me Boy!]

So the guys at Bethesda let it slip a few months ago that Elder Scrolls V was in the works for 2010, and a friend said he read a possible release in 2009... I'm looking for the article, but I'm friggin' STOKED about a new Elder Scrolls game coming out in the next 12-18 months!!!

I think they can learn a lot with the successes and failures of their previous landmark releases like Morrowind, Oblivion and Fallout 3 and make ESV an absolute KICK ASS game!

Nice man! I want that too! I'm around my 20s though. I'll get there.

In Oblivion, for a while I walked around in clothing that had combined enchantments of 100% chameleon. That mean I was totally invisible 100% of the time. However, since it was chameleon, that also meant I could interact with anything and it wouldn't change whether or not people could see me, so I could kill and thieve anything I wanted whenever I wanted. Also meant I could go through Oblivion gates and walk straight to the end.

Cool for a while, then totally boring.

Well. I finally decided to dick around with that blades quest that I've had hanging out there forever. Been avoiding it because of a glitch where i couldn't talk to esbern. Finally figured that out so i did it. Played for awhile, and damn near accidentally beat the quest that would have conquered the game!

Haven't even done anything with many of the other big quests yet.

I've found a couple that'll improve by 50%... plus if you enchant gloves, a ring and an amulet you can get some crazy results.

Ahhh, I don't have the "Fortify Blacksmithing" enchant nor the "Fortify Enchant" enchant so I had to go with the weak potions.

I used a smithing potion and it didn't work at all.

My Nord wants to kill and wear the bones of his enemies dammit, and that's exactly what he's going to do! He will wear your spleen as a hat, don't make him do it!

You have to go back and improve the item (make it legendary). The potion only works with improvements, not the creation of the item itself.

The daedric stuff is pretty beastly. I used smithing potion on the ebony armor because I liked the look better. Thank god the armor cap is 567 (80% damage reduction) otherwise everyone would just rock out daedric for the high rating.

Oh, I didn't know about the Armor Cap, WTF is the point of even having Deadric in the game then?

I finally completed the main companion quest that I ****ed up with my first character. Still need to dump the werewolf thing, though. Goddamn that's just useless.

You just have to throw another witches head on that same deal you did for Kodlak and you will be rid of your werewolf form after you defeat your wolf spirit.

No, I just think it's pathetic that you react as if someone blasphemes your god or something. You must really love video games.

I mean, that's cool. It's just not that important to me. I like to goof around.

OK, so they do NOT offer this game for the PS3?!
