I don't mind spoilers at all. I haven't finished the main quest yet. But I know what happens and it doesn't bother me a bit when I see a spoiler...anybody else like this?

same, to me there is a massive difference between seeing it, and playing up to the point where you finally see it. that said I still don't go out of my way to spoil myself. I haven't even beaten the MQ much less do I know what happens at the end. only because I find it can be completed quickly....very quickly

I don't mind at all.I always get the guide and spend a day or two looking through it before I play.Mostly for the info in the beginning but I glance at the quests also.

In story-driven games, spoilers are the worst thing. In a game like Skyrim, not so much.

I don't mind spoilers for most games. However, games that are story-driven like Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, I hate spoilers. I haven't bought ME3 yet, but I made the grave mistake of watching a review and reading the YouTube comments.

Just don't post any spoilers on this forum, and everything is ok :)
I don't like spoilers as I haven't nearly finished the game yet. I like to live into the game, and for that I need the excitement of not knowing what's going to happen when I play until I actually do it.

I know what you mean, it's basically impossible to avoid ME3 spoilers due to the ending hate.

I am not really keen on spoilers because I like to be surprised by the game. For instance, I have been playing since release day with seven different characters and over 400 hours of playtime and still have not found the DB. And I am glad I haven't seen any spoilers on that because I want to be surprised by it like I was in Oblivion by my first visit from Lucien. Granted I have a suspicion about how to get into the DB and it may be right and it may be wrong, but I want to be surprised either way when I follow up on that lead. That said, I don't mind really minor spoilers like

I have a rare condition called Spoileritis. It makes my eyes bleed whenever I see spoilers posted in the General section. So please don't.

I completely agree with this. "There is a massive difference between seeing it, and playing it."

Only I believe spoilers are more heard and read, rather than seen.

In any case, I do not care at all whether or not I read a spoiler. I have never cared. For me, the true fun of TES is creating my own world, anyway.

I don't like spoilers. I'm probably one of the few people on this forum who did not watch any preview videos or read any developer interviews. I actually knew incredibly little about this game on 11/11/11.

An example: I believe my current character may have accidentally stumbled onto the beginning of the Dark Brotherhood quest line. But I'm not sure, because I know virtually nothing about the Dark Brotherhood quests in this game, even four months after the game came out. But I'm going to find out. And I have to say, I love this feeling of adventure, of feeling a little lost. I will be sad when I know everything (or almost everything) there is to know about this game.

I am exploring quests as well as exploring landscape. This is a big part of what makes a game interesting to me and what keeps me interested in a game.

You and me both. I have been playing since 11/11/11 and I have not found DB either and have the same sense of adventure about it that you do.

I never mind spoilers in anything. My enjoyment of a thing doesn't hinge on being surprised by it. When someone tells me something that happens in a game or movie, it just makes me go, "wow, I want to experience that for myself." If being surprised were a requisite, I wouldn't be able to replay anything.

I haven't done the dark brotherhood questline either. I have "found" them though...my lips are sealed..

This is the first post I've ever read that makes me want to play spoiler free. However, I've never minded spoilers and usually read up on quests ahead of time. As said before, there is a big difference between reading about it and experiencing it, by which time I've usually forgotten most of it...

Before Skyrim came out I read nothing about it. I didn't watch videos on it. I avoided this forum. When I got the game it was totally fresh and new. I loved every minute I spent exploring all of it. Everything was a surprise. I didn't start coming here until I was nearly finished on my first character because I didn't want anything spoiled. I didn't look up anything on the Nexus unless a quest seemed glitched and I needed to find out if I was experiencing a bug or something else. For me this is the only way to play a game like this. Any spoilers totally ruin the experience for me. I want to discover it all for myself, not have someone else tell me about it before I get there.

I don't mind spoilers at all, I want to know what happened next :laugh: besides it feels totally different between reading about it and experiencing it. I've read stuff about
Spoiler
Blades
And I heard nothing good about 'em. I was ready, but when I actually experienced it, it was very fresh and different from reading about it
