Stare at the sky for around an hour. Every Elder Scrolls game has had amazing sky textures/animations.
I knew it wasnt just me.... I also like looking a how the trees move to the wind -_-
I'm pretty stoked for the water effects. I wanna just sit in a cave, looking through my loot, as a stream trickles through the floor of the cave, out into the open world beyond.

Skyrim is coming out that soon? Seriously? I haven't been following the game that closely and just assumed it was out in 2012.

When I played Oblivion I never actually did a single main story mission beyond the opening, just spend my time wandering around exploring and looking for side quests. I'll probably follow suit with Skyrim. The very first thing I'll do after getting into the world map is look for the most distant point on the horizon I can see and walk to it.

Once I'm aloud into the big game world and I'm given my big important quest I'll probably do what I do in any open-world game and say "fuck that I'm going exploring".

I'll get myself settled down somewhere, enchanting weapons for the local smith.

*Make a Nord,
*Learn some lightning spells,
*Get a hammer and enchant it with Lightning,
*Go around and smack some shit...
*I forgot to mention that I will call my Nord Thor.

That or:

Get lost.

What game are you talking about? I've never heard of this Skyrim.

Oh, do you mean Scrolls? I can't wait for the next Scrolls game.

But seriously? Steal anything not tied down.

Yeah, I've never even touched the story missions in Oblivion. I craft my own adventure.

I suspect you will not be alone in this. Heck, I bet that if I had a nickel for every Norse character made on release day, I'd be rich by the next morning.

And if it starts anything like Oblivion, I'm sure everyone in town will love having a low level healing spell cast on their weapons. :p

I'm going to test out both the new combat mechanics and speech mechanics and see if they meet my expectation. From what I've seen they do, but I think that's the point of expectations.

Make a Viking version of Gandalf and walk around being all aloof and bombastic and shit. Dual wielding spells and swords here I come!

Steal EVERYTHING! Because that's all any sane person can do in an Elder Scroll game is become a kleptomaniac.

Someone needs to make a "STEAL ALL THE THINGS!" for TES.

I've never been one to steal profusely in games though. I tend to just steal what I need. Or, conversely, very, very valuable things.

I have no need for 60 pewter mugs.

I wish I could play this game on the day it launches. I have to wait until 18 November because I'm busy with exams. When I do play it though I'll just do whatever the game leads me to do.

Get a wife probably ... those weapons aren't gonna clean themselves :D
/internet high five!

And you'd better get her some good alchemy equipment to keep them potions coming. And get her some ice-spell scrolls so she has no excuse for them to be warm.

I'm going to Mr. Mochi the place up a bit.

Prolly what I'll really do is ignore the main quest and hunt for the more interesting side quests.
