Streaming Skyrim

[Masq]

Going to be streaming my entire play session of Skyrim, starting in about 15minutes.

Twitch.tv/MasqSC

I'll likely be playing a mage or archer character.

Feel free to tune in!

[Eldaran]

ill be watching while i pretend to work.

[Bazia]

Been 27 minutes, stream that shit.

[Eldaran]

he had it up but then it was super laggy then it went down

[Honest]

thought its not out till tommorow?

[Eldaran]

torrent probably. or he's in Europe. I think some people got it there already.

[Honest]

Im gonna get it on PS3, then wait a few months to get it on PC

[Bazia]

Looking like oblivion 2, not morrowind 2 I'm sad pals.

[Eldaran]

i still think it is gonna be more like morrowind just with better graphics. other enemies dont level with you like in Oblivion. there are harder monsters and easier ones.

[Massive Marc]

Looking forward to the release. I hope some stores will sell it at 12AM tonight.
Gonna try rocking a heavy armored 2handed bruiser. Not sure it will work, never played the elder scroll series, but i hear its really good !

[mitic]

i watched masq for a while...its a nice game, to bad its singleplayer, 0 interest for me

[deathgirl]

I aaam in australia and my laptop is too full to run it. my heart broked

it is seriously worth playing morrowind(thats the third one).

[Massive Marc]

Too be completely honest, I fucking hate single player RPG's. So boring.
but ill give Skyrim a try because of the promise of slaying large amounts of dragons. If i can't dunk on people, i better be able to dunk on dragons.

[MelxDruid]

Just purchased this on steam, letting it DL overnight. Will post tomorrow or this weekend about the game. I have never played an elder scrolls before, just watched a buddy play morrow wind on xbox a few times. Hoping for the best.

[M.Bison]

My only qualm with the series is the total lack of online capability. I can excuse that for morrowind, but I mean, its 2011 now, that option should be a given imo. Kind of kills the competitiveness that keeps me coming back to play a game. To me, AI (even w/ scaling difficulty) provides little challenge.

[oldfish]

Fucking steam is dying right now, slow ass DL speed (60k) and ive switched DL server to closer location and now its stuck decrypting the game at 34%...

Got this game thinking itll make the week till R99 comes out pass faster

Its getting good reviews all around was worth the day1 buying gamble most likely

[M.Bison]

Bethesda games in general seem to get very high reviews before release. Mainly because they promise a lot more than they actually deliver.

[Arclyte]

WHY DONT MORE MULTIPLAYER GAMES ALLOW THIEVERY?

I steal from every ***** i find sup :)

this game is hot, only level 2 barely played, my dual wielding light armor imperial is coming to fruition slowly. This DEFINITELY went back to the morrowind earlier TES series roots. Bravo.

[Diggles]

i killed my first dragon and then proceded to run into every crowded building i could find and wipe the tables and shit clean off with my shout.

Thank you for the first post I actually cared about.

[skorge]

I'm only level 3 and it blows Oblivion away, IMO. So far it's playing a lot more like Morrowind, only even better. The reason why it's playing better? The dual wielding option. I made a dark elf, and have fire in my right hand and ice in my left...i actually use them both at the same time for some awesome damage.

When I first came out of the first dungeon area, into Skryim, I wondered way up north into a vampire hideout. I was able to make it to the Master Vampire area, where he unleashed a pit of hounds on me. I ran them back and picked them off. I then went back and snuck around him, and found this huge chest. I opened it and grabbed a nice new robe and helm that lower destruction spell cost.

The graphics are the best I have ever seen on a 360, and in a game for that matter. The environments are so realistic and have a ton of nice effects in them. The combat is way cooler due to the option to dual wield anything really. The enemies seem to be smarter too.

About to start playing again :)

Those drivers I told you to install must be better than I thought if they allow your 1970's video card to run this game.

Because they stopped going crazy with useless shader effects that bog down the game and just went apeshit with geometry and textures, and a few volumetric fog effects here and there.

Best example of useless shader effect bog I can think of = Bioshock

:3

[Diggles]

I'm running it at a slightly lower resolution but if that's what a constant 60 frames require let it be

[Knuckle]

Imperial is kind of a shit race. probably gonna reroll as a brenton for the magic resist, a nord for the frost resist, or orc for the lolsfactor when i use berserker frenzy and get a 12X damage dagger sneak attack opener AKA tactical nuke in your back *****

[Doors]

I'm assuming this games single player? Is it worth buying? Like am I going to beat it in 2 days and be pissed off I spent 60 bucks or what.

[Truth]

150+ dungeons in the game. No co-op mode but in a couple of months I would expect to see some buggy mods

Is it like oblivion where all the dungeons are basicly the exact same with differnt maps? (barely different)

no

[Drem]

only lvl 12. already a werewolf. this game is fuckin tight

[Klendathu]

Is Redguard still a playable race?

It's estimated to be roughly 100 hours, with 200-300 hours of side-quest content. If we learned anything from Fable...you'll beat it in a couple of days.

[Knuckle]

Anyone can 'powergame' through a single player game in like 60 hours if tehy really want. I've played close to 11 hours and I'm level 11, I've done maybe 3 or 4 dungeons and haven't even been to a hold yet.

I rerolled as an orc rogue type. My focus is: 1 Handed, Archery, Light Armor, Sneak.
Secondary Focus is: Blacksmithing, Lockpicking, Pick Pocket.

Right now I have lol'd hard watching 6x damage from my sword with sneak attacks insta kill bandits when I crouch around in dungeons. I should probably bump up the difficulty to expert but I'm having too much fun being a boss.

[Masq]

Streaming skyrim again.

I think I've completed the "main" part of the game. Now I'm just taking over the towns (starting with Whiterun).

[jarshale]

I fuckin love this game. Just finished the dark brotherhood quest line.

The expansiveness, interactivity, and sandbox nature of Everquest made me turn my back on most single player games that have come out in the last 12 years, but the Elder Scroll series has always been an exception. I hate walking along the path presented to you in most single player games, but this series is totally different. It is all up to you, just like EQ. What is interesting too is that the NPCs have a lot to say, even down to being able to overhear people chatting on the street. It helps you to not feel so alone in the single player world. So I hear where you are coming from, but you should not sell Elder Scrolls short!

Anyway, I'm about 15 hours in and am a level 8 wood elf specializing in archery and sneaking. Raising the 5k to buy a house was my first priority, as I love collecting randomness in these games. So now that I have that done, I will really start chewing through some missions!

[Juugox2]

i been playing for like 3-4 hours now and man this game is awesome way better then any elder scrolls imo

[Juugox2]

Looking like oblivion 2, not morrowind 2 I'm sad pals.

far from oblivion tho just play it instead looking at it through videos

[Knuckle]

I'm an Orc specializing in One Handed, Archery, Sneaking, Light Armor
Secondary: Lock Picking, Pick Pocket, Smithing.

As expected the sneak attacks are beastmode.

[vinaden]

buying when i get off work today looks sick

[Juugox2]

lol im addicted to this game like that crackrock
