Has this game completely blown away anyone else and engulfed their entire weekend?

I gave up partying and am cramming a 10page essay in tonight because I completely lost track of time and turned my phone off.

Yup. It was pretty hard to break away from it long enough to do something else. Like go to the bathroom, put clothes in the dryer, play a little BF3, and, oh yeah, eat.

LOL! Same here. Wife & kids where gone all weeekend... But I havent played anything else all weekend.

Diet Mt. Dew, diet Dr. Pepper (for EA codes in other games), cheese puffs, salami & crackers. Fuel of champions!!

Man this game is so huge. Although I restarted a few times after not liking how my guy was developing I'm now close to lvl 13 working hvy armor and dual wielding Imperial. I still have left Whiterun

Does anyone know if this will play on my Core 2 Duo laptop that has a 9800m video card?

Good work up of system requirements on Tom's
Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: PC Performance, Benchmarked : Can Your PC Handle The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim?
Hope that helps Duke, from what I gathered while skimming the article its not as bad as some of the past titles, but still can pack a punch. Think on low settings you may be able to play.

Very anxious to play it but told the wife I would wait and let her buy it for me for Christmas.

Played yesterday, made myself stop, checked the clock if was midnight. I had to be up at 5:30.

[FrOgM]

is it that good?...should i pick it up

If you like RPGs at all, you have to have this one. Bethesda and Bioware make the best RPG games bar none and I love what I've seen so far.

I liked the previous one.. looks like I have to pick this up and balance it with BF3 ... damn and I have books to read as well. Should I just quit work?

After December 21st I bet you'll remove Bioware from that list.


I checked my bank account and found out that I have quite a bit more money than I thought I did. Might pick this game up, but I don't know if I'm ready to throw away BF2, and I just got a decent sleeping schedule.

I don't count MMORPGs either for or against a company. Besides, even if I did, it would have to suck more than any game has ever sucked before to counter-balance all the great RPGs Bioware has created.

Bioware: Baldur's Gate, BG 2, Neverwinter Nights, Knights of the Old Republic, Mass Effect, Dragon Age: Origins, Mass Effect 2, and Dragon Age 2, with Mass Effect 3 and Dragon Age 3 coming.

By comparison--Bethesda: Elder Scrolls 1-5, of which Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim are terrific, Fallout 3, and Fallout: New Vegas.

Employees for both worked for either Black Isle or Obsidian. Here's what they came up with in addition to the above: Fallout 2, Planescape Torment, Icewind Dale 1 and 2, Knights of the Old Republic 2, Neverwinter Nights 2.

That just jaw-droppingly impressive for what is essentially a small group with a core of maybe 20 guys.

That is impressive, I think theses guys are up there with Valve, the way Blizzrd used to be in the early days.

I'm looking forward to this game, especially if it will play on my laptop because it will not play BF3 and I need something to do on my layovers.
