With all the recent talk of video games on NSG there has been one big one left out. Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. This game is looks wayyyy to fun. Really looking forward to slayin' some dragons!

... not to mention the ultimate hyphy game!

Gamespot gave it a 9.0
IGN gave it a 9.5
gametrailers gave it 9.3

All three said there were lots of bugs(thats half the fun and to be expected). IGN and Gamespot both said it is one of the best games of the year if not all time. I can't wait to play!

Anyone have any tips on making money? So far ive been around 1000 gold. I wanna save up to get my first house (5000 gold) but it seems like too much of a grind. I should probably just play the main quest, but theres just SO MUCH I WANNA DO!

I rented this and it looks like I might need to buy it. So far I'm a level 7 wood elf. I found the dragon words for the "become ethereal" shout and I killed two dragons after that but it still isn't letting me use it since it says, "dragon souls are required to unlock shouts," any ideas?

It had some problems but overall was a great game, very engrossing, and you never ran out of things to find or quests to do.

Follow the main quest and kill the Dragon dude. I'm only a level 3 argonian, however I've unlocked the shout it's dope. Take the Dragon Stone back to the King dude whatever his name is, then follow the woman elf to some place where a dragon appears, and you just fuck it up (pretty easy too I shot it with like 25 arrows).

oblivion first imo. not essential, but totally worth it. be prepared to not play skyrim for a while though, these games are massive. oblivion will take you waaay past christmas.

It's pretty much the same concept, with lot of changes in terms of gameplay and graphics. I'd say just buy Skyrim.

So far the only thing I really don't like is how I have NO clue what is the main quest. I get rescued and then suddenly am told to go join the legion as well as like 12 other things.

fuck I love this game, been playing since I got it at midnight

first off, dragon battles as a dark elf fucking rule, half fire damage kicks ass
second, the landscape is awesome, just as beautiful as cyrodil
third, combat is noticeably better, sword in 1 hand spell in another is my go to combo

why you so mad? and its so amazing, got it today and played 5 hrs straight. i kept fucking around in the dungeon on the way to the dragon stone. first, i forgot to search azrels body for the claw, then i completely missed the word wall, went too far and had to start from an earlier save and go back and get the stupid claw again. it made me clausty, god i hate dungeons. but the game is so fun. i had no idea what race to pick so i just went with nord. i'm normally not much of a gamer, but i can see myself getting sucked into this.

Fucking love this game. My only question is how to start the Dark Brotherhood...it's not like Oblivion where you just kill randys. You have talk to some kid and kill a bitch and then nothing has happened and I have waited for like 4 days.
