When you read books does the game pause or does it keep going in real time?

Really? Can't say i experienced it like that really. But then again...i am only in the very beginning of the game.

How is the nighttime view in Skyrim? Compared to Oblivion, I loved Morrowind's nighttime scenery, it had a much more mystical feel to it, to the point where I would often walk around just staring at the sky.

Glad to hear that and of course.Dont listen to complains,theyare just graphic wh0res.
and i never listen to negative things...almost.
I am also getting skyrim for the 360.
I jellynow..... i wish i was youlol

Yes, it's paused.


Well it definately feels better than the combat in Oblivion, you gotta agree on that

Thanks for the info. Sounds very interesting.

In you char's pics I saw some armour, was that the Legion and Stormcloak armour?

Well you got the game 2 days early. So why isn't it unlocked on Steam, so we can do the same?

I haven't installed the game, and so far it doesn't seem nessecary neither.

Yes! You equip your weapon with X, or right trigger for that matter, from there you can't just rotate around your character anymore. But if you hold down the right anolog and move the left anolog around, you can rotate around your character.

thanx but man that svcks.. no more watching my pc walk towards the cam away from a defeated enemy

Could you show us a screenshot of some armors? possibly the coolest you have?
Also, Markarth would be nice!(Remember you can get a carriage there for 20-150 gold.

Before i get any accusations about a leaked copy and what not, i received my copy of Skyrim in my mailbox today, Xbox 360 version.

Well so far its been nothing but awesome.

Looks absolutely awesome to be honest, i'm not trying to exeggerate. But after the many negative comments on the leaked footage last week(especially on other forums/sites, i was expecting dissapointing graphics. But i see nothing but awesome graphics, i'm in a dungeon now and it looks great. Almost as if there's bumpmapping on the walls, the textures look great and there are also environmental effects, looks sweet!!!! Sure....if you get extremely close to some walls, you can see it gets a bit low-res, but honestly...i think if i'd do that with any game, that would be the case.

Nice little details like when i found a book and i grabbed it, it flapped open. Loading times so far are very short, i had to reload in this dungeon and it was incredibly fast. Much much better than Oblivion. There have been people that claimed it didn't look that better or didn't run any better than Oblivion. I can only say that they have NO idea what they are talking about. It looks WORLDS better than Oblivion and in terms of performance it's absolutely fine so far. Remember how badly optimized Oblivion was on Xbox 360? None of that. My character is an Argonian and i think i will keep it like that, he looks awesome.

I made this thread for people who don't have the game yet, i hope they can apreciate this. I can only be happy with the game. Maybe people have questions, and i can try to answer them, as long as it doesn't have to do with any quest things or things that require me to travel an awful lot. Won't be possible for me, cause i take things REAAAAAAAL slowly in games like this. But if anyone wants a screenshot of something (that isn't spoiler-ific) i'll do that, no prob.

This is a silly question but I want to know.

Since you can't view your character in the inventory system like you could in Oblivion when testing out armor etc, can you at least swing around your character in 3rd person mode in the game and see him/her from all angles.

I want to be able to see my characters face IN game and how it looks with armor from the front of the character. Otherwise it would be no point in making a cool character face etc if you can never see it.

Yes, you can fully rotate around your character

You can rotate around him/her with the right anolog stick when you have nothing equipped. You have to press and hold right anolog and then you can move the left anolog to zoom in and rotate around your character.
