| Re: The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim! Think I read somewhere that Oblivion had around 200-300 quests. Anyway, they reckon Skyrim will have about six- to sevenfold the number of quests as Fallout 3 did. The lockpicking will be very similar to Fallout 3, and the dungeons will be more divergent and last longer (15 minutes to a couple of hours) than Oblivion's. Character generation looks fantastic, and the presets can be found here: http://forums.uesp.net/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=24249 [20 per race, half male, half female. I especially like the Argonians and Khajiit]. |

| Re: The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim! the live trailer was ok... actually left me a little underwhelmed, since the actual game-trailers have been SO amazing. having said that, 11.11.11 cannot come soon enough. |

| Re: The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim! Thanks, er, sort of  It says "404 not found". Some on the Bethesda forums suggested a 5.5GB install, which is reasonably large but nor enormous (and smaller than Oblivion). That's unconfirmed, I think, however. *sighs* I've got a 40GB PS3 with 11GB free. I'll be bloody annoyed if the install is enormous, but hopefully it'll be leaked properly before release. Edited extra bit: I brilliantly googled "Skyrim PS3 install size" and got a mini-intro to the article you linked to: "The mandatory install size for Skyrim on PS3 is going to be 5.5Gb which isn't the largest mandatory install but it's sizeable enough for owners of older ..."

| Re: The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim! Sorry to spam, but I just remembered something else that might be of use (it's not a 'buy or not' thing, just handy info). Unlike Fallout 3 and Oblivion you don't get to rejig your character at the end of the intro, so make sure that you get it 100% right when you make it first time. Like removing the ability to see what items look like on your character in the menu, it's a small but slightly inexplicable and stupid omission, I think.

| Re: The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim! Has anyone read the cash-i... er, tie-in novels? I'm sort of tempted but suspect they might be awful. There's a very rich world and history though, it just depends if it's done right. |

| Re: The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim! Thaddeus - Sorry, I thought the site would have the url working, I must have copied it wrong. I am rather going to wait for Platinum with all the add-ons including the huge download and expansions. 5.5GB at our connection speeds is like trying to swim through cold syrup in slow-mo. |

| Re: The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim! Lara and Red, I was somewhat tempted, but haven't. I'm slightly surprised they don't seem to be available as eBooks. Fair enough, Biodroid, but why would connection speed matter? I usually go down the Platinum route for Uncharted games. Unless I'm really into a game it's just sensible to wait a while and save cash. |

| Re: The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim! I didn't know that, but I meant "Why would connection speed matter for a PS3 game?"* Sorry for being unclear. *I can see why it might be irksome for sizeable downloads, but you did cite the 5.5GB install, which confused me. |
