Thought Oblivion was shit, was optimistic about Skyrim but apparently it's still got all the shit from Oblivion.

Because I have no desire whatsoever to play it.
Not everyone loves fantasy RPGs, you know. I am one of those people.
People will stop caring about it in a few months. Then, we'll be on to the next huge title. And then the next, and then the next, and then the next...

My tale is either tragic or comical, depending on your views of the game:

I put my pc in the shop for a so-called quick-fix on the 9th. Turns out that it's going to take 2 WEEKS for them to get the replacement warantee hard drive. They basically didn't want to honour the warantee so are making it as difficult as possible (I made them do it anyway so in a way it's my own stubborn fault).

Picked up my Collector's Edition of Skyrim on the 12th...it's sitting here on my desk...taunting me. To make matters worse my flatmate is sitting here playing his copy on X360. I've been trying not to watch but it's hard not to.

I can't afford it.
I don't really have time to play it.
I bought BethSoft games on day 1 before, they didn't go well.
I have a feeling it's been severely molyneux'd, so I want to hear what it's actually like before I decide if I get it.

That said, I'll probably get it at some point in the next few months when these issues vanish.

I have school exams this week.
But more importantly I'm only playing Oblivion for the first time and I want to finish/play it for a good while before switching to a new game. Probably get Skyrim for Christmas.

My video card is broken, I'm still on my 2nd playthrough of Mass Effect 2, I just bought Crysis 2 super-cheap and want to see how it runs on my PC, I still have Oblivion's GOTY from a Steam sale waiting for me, and I aim to get those mods working this time.

Also I'm going to military service in January, so I won't have enough time to play it anyway.

*shrug* Saints Row the Third, Assassin's Creed Revelations and the imminent Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword were/are simply higher priorities for me.

First of all, I will never ever buy a bethesda product again, after Fallout 3 fucked me over. But more importantly I'm so poor this month, I'm turning in bottles to get enough money to ride the bus to work.

Because I heard it's just like Oblivion and I don't consider Oblivion to be a very good game. I'd be bored. I honestly find all Bethesda games boring.

I have to save up £800 for a University module in January. I thought I could apply for Student Finance, but it turms out the bastards won't accept it, so I have to pay for it myself.

Thus, no games for a while.

I'm still deployed to Iraq and my internet is so slow it would take over a month to get it from steam (which is also being a ****** and and won't let me log onto my account)

Like others have already said, I have no interest in the game, I wasn't a fan of Oblivion and don't wish to subject myself to more of the same.

Same here. Fallout 3 has to be one of the most boring games I've played.
They just seem bland to me. Like they took a massive cool looking world and then packed it with bland unimaginative characters and an uninteresting, flat story. People rave about spending 60 hours playing the game and not even following the main story or caring, but I just don't understand how anyone can stand that. In fact why not just play WoW? That sounds exactly like it without the online aspect and with shittier gameplay and less rewards.

Now if we could take the worlds and environments of Bethesda and put them with the characters and story of BioWare, then add the gameplay of The Witcher we'd have the ultimate RPG devil-child!

edit: also the amount of skyrim threads on these forums is actually getting irritating

Because I don't have the money, and it's doubtful I will since my paycheck needs to go to more important things, like food, and buying for Christmas.

Because I'm not really that interested. Oblivion bored me to tears, and part of that was the setting. It doesn't do much for me, so I doubt Skyrim will be an improvement over that.

And because I have a limited amount of time with all the stuff I have going on and, if I'm honest, I would much rather finish the most recent Layton game with my small amount of spare time than I would playing Skyrim.

Seeing as Oblivion is $4.99 on steam, I can wait a few years for a price drop. I'm still backlogged in homework, anime and other games.
