It's downloading right now. I'm really excited. I signed up for the game testing over a year ago, I think the day they opened it up they posted about it on Joystiq. Didn't really expect to get in.

What kind of character are you playing?

He's most likely playing the unbathed zombie character. The one who has +100 resistance to all outside influences.

:laugh2:

 

[The Ominous]

Absolutely can't wait to pick this up today. Game of the year for sure.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

I've heard great things about this series of games but I'll admit i've never played any of them. I might have to give them a look at some point.

My son and I just got in from getting the game. He is sitting here reading up on the Collectors Strat guide.

Game is installed and I am just trying to figure out which class I want to roll with.

I may try the mage but will most likely end up w/ the Necro. Both classes look sick.

Didn't know what to expect out of this game. I did not like Oblivion (not a huge fan of RPG). Bought this game and I am loving it. Exceeded my expectations by 100%.

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

Played about 6 hours tonight.
Exceded all expectations so far.
Easily.......
Skyrim has more in common with the third game in the series{morrowind} then it does with Oblivion thankfully.

Hows the combat in it compared to Oblivion?

Really disliked the combat in Oblivion. Was just swing swing swing, block swing, enemy falls down limp..

From the previews I saw it looked like there might actually be blood and kill shots.

 

[Duane]

Played for about four hours last night and my only complain is the menu system. Everything else is great.

I only briefly played Oblivion so I'm not the one to ask. There are kill shots but it's not something that happens on every kill for me.

Yep there are special kill sequences even on random enemies, pretty cool.

The biggest difference by far is that the enemies don't level up with you. You can role through a ruin and one-two shot almost every thing you encounter, and then wander into a camp of Giants herding a Mammoth and get killed in one hit. lol.
