I'm right there with you. I did play a little bit of Oblivion, but really like 3 minutes of it. It just didn't grab me for some reason. But Skyrim... ho-ly shitballs I am excited for this game! E3 just exasperated it. I jsut hope that the PC version doesn't suffer for the focus being on the console versions :\

@Mavrick593 yea, prob is though lol, uncharted games out 10 days before that so many good games shown at E3 this year, i may have to wait a little bit so i can have enough for both Skyrim and Uncharted 3 i'm though more of a console person so i hope there aren't any bugs in the game to cause problems for it but 300 Plus hours of gameplay plus Uncharted and other games should keep me busy for a long time

Morrowwind was just such a crazy game. There is no way to complete that game without a guide. Get some crazy dagger from where to kill the boss who is where? Hard to follow. Some of the best music ever though in that game.

If I could downgrade your comment again, I would. While PC games obviously have an open ceiling for graphics, it's common knowledge that pre-release screenshots aren't true to the future game. They're set to max AA and are better than the actual game will be. Looking at a few pre-release promo shots and saying that the devs dumbed down the PC-version graphics for consoles is, well, dumb. Please leave the troll comments at home next time.

I played the original Morrowind on the Xbox -- it was amazing. I played Oblivion on PC -- amazing.
I'd expect this game to be amazing either way. This isn't really the sort of game that can be broken by console porting -- I mean, unless it says "Press Start" at the intro screen. Otherwise, Us PC Gamers should be fine. As long as the controls are in order, and we get some half-decent graphics options -- it's all good.

Ummm... You have no idea what you're getting yourself into...good luck. If you pick up the 5th Anniversary of Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion (which is only $30 and you get all the MASSIVE DLC) you supposedly get a $10 off coupon for Skyrim....soooooooo.... I'm in, you in?

Ugh.
I shouldn't have watched so many Skyrim videos this week. It turned a long wait, into a long, painful wait.

Cant wait. Oblivion is my all time favorite game ever and this looks like its going to be 100 times more awesome!

Oblivion would have been like 10 times better if there weren't any gates of Oblivion. More voice actors and removing the weird close up zoom would be nice too.
That said everything else surrounding the game was great. Skyrim looks like its already shining where Oblivion did great and that is atmosphere.

@Misfit Toy I just wished the omniscient guards of Oblivion weren't all over me in the middle of the night for stealing a spoon or a loaf of bread.

Were the gates of Oblivion those giant portals into the red world where you had to climb towers for some rather arbitrary rewards? I loved that game so much but quit playing because of the repetition of those.
It's one of the few games that I still think about, years later. I had one save file I kept right when I was turned into a vampire and always intended on trying to murder everyone in the world.

I saw these yesterday :( it appears I am following this game a little too closely. Stalking it even.

This game cannot come out fast enough. November 11th is so far away...

never played any of these but this makes me want to give it a go :)

I never thought I'd be a fan of TES series, but I was shown how the games are fun (something I admittedly had a hard time grasping) and how you can do some incredible things with mods, and now I'm a lifelong fan and cannot wait for Skyrim.
Thought I doubt I'm as excited as Justin.

Oblivion GOTY is on my gamefly list getting ready for Skyrim

I really enjoyed Oblivion but probably for all the wrong reasons. Here's hoping they really made the battle system better, more enjoyable and more varied. From what I saw in videos, while neat, isn't quite enough. of course, it was just a video.

So if I wish that this wouldn't be a shitty console port, then it won't come true?
Ok, then. *goes back to Witcher 2*

Man, I remember when I tried to wish Pokemon into existence as a kid, back when the original series was airing on Toonami. It didn't work.
Come to think of it, that may have been when I lost my childlike innocence.

It's not that wishes don't come true, it's that they are only available in limited quantities and take time to renew.
We all wished for Elder Scrolls V, after all.

This game is just insane. Really Really glad Mass Effect 3 was pushed back to march.

@dtrain1183 Amen to that. Thanksgiving was going to be some spam and cranberry from a can. I can look forward a real turkey and Skyrim.

shame they focusing on consoles which makes this game fairly ugly compared to what it COULD be....they wont make max profit from me. I'll wait for steam sale and graphic mods.

Please take your PC elitism where we can't see it. If this level of graphical prowess can't please you, shame we won't know what will.
