5 days until Skyrim. What are you doing first?

[Roofstone]

Pick a dot on a horizon and just wander

Pretty much this, I'll follow the main quest of course. But how can I stay focused, when there are pretty things to look at, interesting things to do, and rich people to pickpoc-...greet?

 

[IlikeLolis]

Begin courting the hotest woman in town, kill her husband (Secretly).

And inherit Vast Estate through Matrimony.

 

[Sir Thomas Sean Connery]

First I'm going to nerd all over the floor.

Then I'm gonna steal something.

 

[KLJT]

I will find the nearest town earn some money, make friends, make enemies perhaps find a lover then i'll sit in a chair with a glass of mead and just listen...

Watching walkthroughs, cause I have no money to buy it.

I wanted to quote you and say something reasonable and nice but I'm pretty much out of words. That's pretty damn depressing.

But, that said, two months of no internet pretty much equals the amount of money you'd need for the game and you don't need internet to play the game (heck, you probably wouldn't even miss the internet if you had the game).

 

[MidnightSt]

what is your first action (in the game, after you´ve inserted the disc, smartass.)

damn

there's many games i'd LOVE to play, but i can't because i have no money to buy them NEITHER a machine (or money to buy it) to play them on if i bought them - pretty much anything since 2007. i watch let's plays (not walkthroughs) to compensate. it's not ideal, but i wouldn't say it's "pretty damn depressing". sometimes it's even more fun to watch the let's plays (depending on the LPer) than to play the game myself.

 

[Fieldy409_v1legacy]

First thing is to attempt to steal weapons and armour from the blacksmith.

 

[tairos lal]

Marvel at the scenery.
Then, join the Dark Brotherhood/get some good spells.

 

[EHKOS]

Find that one bandit along the road that the devs set there for you to get a sword and a few pieces of gold, visit the first town and be polite. First guy in the bar looks at me funny will have the honor of donating some decent clothing. Then, I just travel to all the main towns, see what's up, and then just get lost in the sidequests.

I do that a lot. It is pretty sad, but at least you get to enjoy the game a bit. You watch SSoH? He covers a lot of new releases and his commentary is pretty damn decent. Just wanted to let you know I know that feel bro.

 

[Megawat22]

Play through the tutorial 100 times because my guy looks funny, his hair isn't right, his nose looks big, the beard clips through the helmet I like, I don't like some stats I chose, etc.
Although once I do start up I'll probably spend a few minutes wandering around dazed and confused and unless I'm given a clear objective, wander off into the forest to look for beasties to slay, never to return (because I got lost and wound up in a town on the other side of the map).

 

[Vhite]

Skyrim fans are suddenly more annoying than bronies were. I would understand if this was a day before launch but will I have to edure Skyrim thread spam for another 4 days?!

 

[sumanoskae]

Become a vampire and then hunt down some juicy bystanders. Then I'll head to the nearest town and go into service for the lord there, little will he know that I plan to murder him!.

 

[Feylynn]

Mod out the regenerating health and see how long I can go without quick saving or fast traveling.
Then somewhere after getting a nice knife I'm gunna cut somethings throat and learn some ice magic.

This of course is assuming I ever finish getting my appearance just perfect enough to start playing it.

Prepare for the worst of us then.
The bronies that are also Skyrim fans that have nothing better to do for the next five days!

Sorry I should explain that a bit better. I have no excess money to buy it. I decided to use the money for Skyrim and Deus Ex: HR to buy a new pair of Sennheisers.

 

[Shakomaru]

Acclimatize. Probably set out following the main quest until/unless something really catches my eye. This is going to be the first Elder Scrolls game I've played, so I'll be doing my pedestrian sod getting-to-know-you run.

This. I have no Idea what I'm in for, but I'm going to shut up and take it like a dragon.

 

[Knight Templar]

Find a Temple of Talos. Seems the right thing to do given who he is and who/what I am.

 

[Xaio30]

Slowly sweep over the map, doing every sidequest along the way.

 

[Slowpool]

Installing the game.
