Dunmer, naturally. >)

And a guy my son came across when he was playing

Stop posting! I'm at work til 5 today!!! I want to go home and play! ARGH!

Yeah, I'm going to go pick up my copy at Kmart in about an hour.... still have to work till 4 though.

I told myself that I am going to wait until after classes are over until I get a new game.... This is by far the hardest to wait on...

Still almost 12 hours before I can play. Provided it shows up today.

I have my copy sitting right next to me. T-Minus 3 hours till I get to go home.

I made a snow leopard/tiger/lynx type Khajiit mage. I might also develop some stealth skills with him.

I love this game!! Makes me realize how boring Dragon Age 2 really was. You were right CoyAndChris.

I made a Breton for my first character but thinking I should of just been a High Elf. I like magic! My daughter has taken over my xbox and is playing her Cat right now. It will be my turn in the evening

The game is amazing!!!

Oh work cannot be over fast enough. It looks beautiful.

I've been saying Bioware RPG's past Jade Empire are pretty bad. That's including Mass Effect. lol

Why does enchanting suck so bad in Skyrim? First you have to disenchant (read: destroy) an article of clothing or weapon and then you learn the enchanting spell. What happened to buying a spell and it carrying over to enchanting? Also, I enchanted two rings of 2% magicka regen, and I can only wear ONE ring at a time! WTF!? How about one for each hand?

One last thing. I went off the beaten path and just started finding caves to explore. My Dunmer finally went against a Necromancer Dark Elf and I almost died. Good thing I had a partner along with me, or I would have died. He was flinging these ice shards at me left and right, plus conjuring undead AND regenerating his own health! N'wah! haha I enjoyed that battle, I must say.

Few more hours and I can have some stories too. You guys are making me jealous. And I do dislike when games think you only have one finger. I'm sure it's a balance thing.

Still. Have to love Morrowind where you could wear an enchanted shirt, pants, each glove, boots, amulet, rings, all the armor pieces and a damn cloak over top of all that!

I was telling my son that last night. lol You could wear clothes under armor. Makes perfect sense to me. Ebony chafes!

Mass Effect is ok but the Dragon Age stuff was just not good when I think about it more. I really am having a ball in this. So far this ranks up on my list of best games played. There is just stuff to do at every turn. Its funny you mention Necromancy PK because it seems to be the way I am going with my Breton. They get +10 to Conjuration right from the start and your able to summon some things right from the get go. I really like their opening skills. I have been on this site. Check out this page for racial abilities.

I'll probably try a build like that in the near future. I always start an ES game with a Dunmer Spellsword, though. Kinda OCD about it. lol

Nord Warrior here. However, is anyone else disappointed with the mechanics of this game? I feel let down.

Yes.

I keep waiting to find a vault or jumpsuit in a cave

Started a new Khajiit character

I'm going to try and get this tonight. What's the opinions of this so far, better than Oblivion?

You know how a Reeses peanut butter cup mixes chocolate and peanut butter? Bethesda mixes Fallout and Elder Scrolls. You see the similarities all over. It's pretty good, but I wish there was a Vet version and a Noob version. Seems really dumbed down now.

More dumbed down than Oblivion? I've heard it has a nice mix of stuff from Oblivion and Morrowind. Only thing I've seen that resembles Fallout are the execution type cut scenes.

Ruined books, just like in Fallout. Clothing is quickly turning into Fallout onesies. No more greaves. The necklace and one ring only thing is akin to the hat and sunglasses accessory option for Fallout. There's more than just that, but it's pretty evident if you take it all in while playing.

Good call Kevin

Some Dude in the Rat ways in Riften has some gloves with an unarmed enchantment.
