5 days until Skyrim. What are you doing first?

[TheLoneBeet]

Probably find the nearest town and start doing side-quests. That or explore the first dungeon I come across. I don't bother with the main storyline until I've run out of other things to do first.

 

[Darth Sea Bass]

I'll most likely finish the tutorial then wander around till i find a dungeon and then get my sneak on and introduce arrows to bandits heads.

 

[damocles23]

Get a Axe, a BIG FREAKIN AXE. And bash some people with it.

 

[Matthew Valkanov]

Get myself a job, get myself a home, get myself a Nord wife, and wait for the inevitable racist outburst at the sight of a mixed marriage. Yes, I always play a Redguard, Redguard-Nord/Breton enimity be damned!

 

[V TheSystem V]

Explore. I find a sidequest or dungeon? I'll do said sidequest or dungeon. THEN I'll do some more of the story.

 

[Yosato]

Well I really enjoyed the realistic setting in Fallout NV so I'll probably try and roleplay for a bit. I imagine my guy will be pretty hungry once he escapes jail so he'll catch himself something to nom on then go to sleep for a bit. Then he's gonna go to a bar in the nearest town, get pissed and get himself into a bar fight, just to work off all that stress.

So, easy question. When you get Skyrim, what is your first action (in the game, after you´ve inserted the disc, smartass.) I mean, when you´re first dropped off into the world and left to fend for yourself.

Me? I think I´ll deny my duty as the dragonborn and get a job in a town. Then, I´ll realise what I must do and set out to follow the main quest for a while.

Trying to actually finish Oblivion before my military physical tuesday-wed.

 

[tehwalrus]

Murder someone, Hail Sithsis!

This, definately this.

 

[999realthings]

Try to kill an entire town.

 

[Odbarc]

Nick something. Steal something off the first person I see.

Become a thief, naturally. I'll see how many things I can get from the first shop I enter and then see if I can trick the lady into buying her own property back from me.

 

[Lewis Molyneux]

Main quest for long enough to unlock dragon shouts, then roam the land collecting as many shouts as possibe before starting dark brotherhood/thieves guild storyline (the end of the main quest is WAY down the list).

 

[2012 Wont Happen]

Dark Brotherhood assuming it is present.

 

[Char-Nobyl]

while i have no intention of getting that game, you have another hope

modders

pretty sure some one will make you werewolf/parasite hybrid doable

Meh. To be honest, mod-produced stuff can be good, but I always prefer the stuff to have been in the game in the first place. Besides, I'm getting it on the 360 because my computer doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of running it.

i think the captcha was drinking again ....

Challenge accepted! I see your drunken captcha and raise you...Kosher Kaptcha!

Got it a few days ago. As annoying as these might be, they do keep bots out pretty well, and they're hilarious often enough to make them worthwhile.

 

[SweetLiquidSnake]

Gonna spend an hour creating my character and then just wander as far as I can. Gonna see if there is any free housing I can use and then just horde any item I can, because without any updated wiki's that troll fat may be needed in a future, dont want to go selling it all first day

 

[GundamSentinel]

Probably find the nearest dungeon or town and see what's inside. Maybe see if I can loot some new gear.

 

[Jasper Jeffs]

Hope it actually gets fucking delivered on the right day. The last time I pre-ordered a game it came 4 days late. It didn't even come on Friday or Saturday, I had to wait until Monday. The worst part is my brother got the same game on Thursday, one day before the fucking release. If it does come I'll probably install it, open it up and then go ask some forums why it runs like shit, only to get the "Bethesda bro" response.

That'd be the worst case scenario anyway, hopefully it comes in time and runs fine. I'll probably just wander aimlessly around the map, I didn't even start the main story of Oblivion until over a year after release. I forgot all about it, I entered the portal thing, thought "well this is fucking depressing" and left. I can see myself doing the same.

 

[Right Hook]

Nick something. Steal something off the first person I see.

Grab a cup and watch the guards come after you.

Oblivion was just stupid with the crime system, here's hoping Skyrim is better in that regard.

From what I've heard the crime system is supposed to be more lenient and actually make sense. A guard would probably just tell you to put it back and keep walking or grab it from you.

As for first thing in game, I'm just gonna follow the main quest for a while until I become accustomed with the people in Skyrim and their beliefs, then find whatever reason I can to get lost in the world.

 

[h@wke]

Well I plan to be a stalwart and righteous knight of the realm until at an appropriate point in the plot where I have an emotional breakdown harvey dent style, and turn into a right b*****d who kills anything that gets in his way


woooo skyrim

 

[AgDr_ODST]

waiting until all the hype/nerdgasm's surrounding Skyrim subside in my man cave until Saints the Third comes out ;P....playing the shit out of it and then i might get Skyrim XD

 

[brainslurper]

Continue my person who kills everything with only his fists from oblivion. Probably going to walk around until I am ambushed by something, then kill it. WITH MY HANDS!
