Who has two arrows and is pumped for Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim?

This guy:  >  <

(hint: me)

In no other game could I want to log 40 hours of gameplay, not move the plot one bit, and be completely content about that.  So many skills to hone.  So much land to explore.  So much side-questing to do.  And dragons.

Check out this sneak peak...

Release date: 11.11.11

I believe Bethesda said they stopped counting after they logged 300 game hours. I too am looking forward to this game, although I doubt I will complete every single task, etc. I finished the main campaign for Oblivion, but also started it years after it was released and never played the expansions despite having the GOTY edition. Still, games like this scream for co-op, doesn't need any type of online multiplayer (but I would not say no to it if it was an option) but a way to play with a buddy, or two, doing the campaign and everything else. Surprised that the game is only on one disc too.

Yeah, I admittedly never beat Oblivion but I definitely logged an obsurd amount of hours.  I remember jumping everywhere to level up my Acrobatics skills so I could eventually leap onto buildings.  I think by the time I was ready to move the plot along I had completely forgotten where I need to go and who I needed to talk to.

I too am a big fan of co-op, especially couch co-op.  I'm not sure how they could pull something like that off with an Elder Scrolls title since the world is so huge but it would be awesome.

If they put a man on the moon, surely they have the ways to add co-op to the Elder Scrolls series. While single-player is fun, I just feel it is rather isolating, especially when a person is used to playing games that involve others. On the far end of the spectrum I am also looking forward to Saints Row the Third, that game and the two before it are great stress relivers. ;-)

Oh, if only NASA dabbled in video game development... we might be closer to TRON by now.

Someday we will be, but I suspect it will be more like Blade Runner.

Bump...

Just gotta say, I like this game. I've pretty much beat it, so I let a friend borrow it. Video games bring a wide array of emotions when playing them. This game is the first I've ever called "beautiful".

The next Bethesda adventure needs to be on the next gen consoles.

Agreed.  I think Skyrim is the first game that actually deserves the description "epic", and puts to shame any other title that was previously described that way.
