You should have bought it 5 years ago!
Yeah don't know why I didn't really.
Like I said, I like to play games with other people.

ive played about 8 hours of skyrim now, its really good. Im enjoying ir more than I did Oblivion and morrowwind and I really enjoyed both of those. The scenery looks amazing too, not tried on 3 screens yet but will do later, but yeah, looks amazing, music is amazing, really enjoying the dual wielding, chose to be a high elf and got my trusty flame atronach by my side when I need him.

I seem to have encountered a completely game breaking bug. I finally decided on a character after trying them all out and started the game again right from the start. Watched the intro where you're being led in carts to the place of execution. Make my character, name him, get sent to the chopping block. Executioner lifts his axe and.... nothing. The dragon doesn't land on the tower and make the executioner drop his axe, it just keeps flying around the tower making noises, and the executioner just stands there with his axe lifted, for 10 minutes, with the dragon flying around going rawwwwwwwwwr.
So I started again again and it did it again. And then once more.

It's your punishment for pointlessly restarting the game 10 times over
No but seriously that sucks, have you tried deleting local game content and then verifying the integrity of game cache?

So. Anyone else think Bethesda need to recruit some more voice actors? 50% of the Nords have Arnold Schwarzenegger doing the voices. Not sure whether Americans think Scandinavians talk like that, I'm assuming the Nords are based on vikings at least, but we certainly never spoke like Arnold.

Lol tbh they have a lot lot more than they used to, I mean I swear the entire of oblivion was patrick stewart. I think they done a really good job on this one, I have noticed that austrian accent a few times but ive not found it too repetitive, although tbh Ive been travelling a lot, not really stayed in one place much.

Only 3 times! I went through the tutorial once as a Nord warrior/archer, and then through the first mine just down the hill from where you leave the first cave. Then as a Breton mage, then as a wood elf sneaky sneaky type. Then I decided and started again. Of course, if I'd been thinking I could have just saved each character once I left the cave and on the fourth time reloaded the one I liked... but I was too busy being shocked and awed.
Anyway I just restarted again and it worked that time.

Glad you got it working. What character / play style have you decided to go with? Or not decided on a play style yet?

OMG kinda annoyed, Skyrim doesnt natively support surround . some guys here http://widescreengamingforum.com/dr/elder-scrolls-v-skyrim/en are trying to fix the problems with it, essentially the game looks amazing in surround but the menus dont work and you cant read books etc. Guess ill have to stick to one screen for now then

Well, before the bug I was adamant that I was going to go archer... light armour, bow and arrow, sword and light shield. Then at the last moment I just decided to do the same damn thing I always do and go heavy armour, sword and shield. I'll do the main story like that. Once the mods start coming out then I'll try more complex characters and truly explore every single cave and crevise of the game, and do the dark brotherhood which is always my favourite thing. Can't exactly do the dark brotherhood as a heavy armour wearing knight who always does the right thing can I...

sounds gd, im so stuck, cant go back out the room, cant defeat the person, im literally screwed
What difficulty are you playing on? I had mine on the hardest (Master) for the first 5 or so hours, however some enemies just take way too long to kill (took around 70 arrows to kill a Mammoth, however i've not put a single talent into bow), so have changed it to the fourth difficulty - alot more fun. I made what i'm sure a million others have made, a Triple H looking Nord with a 2hander, all points into two-handed, heavy armour & smithing so far xD
If you can't kill the person, i'd suggest lowering the difficulty for that room so you can get out, then putting it back up. The game got so much easier with a few levels & skills behind me, at Lv1/2 I could barely kill a guard xD
If you're literally stuck in the room unable to get out & have no other option, you can push the tilde key to open the console, click the target & type 'kill'. But that's severe cheating so i'd only suggest that if your save game was in jeopardy.

For those people who didnt want to play Skyrim until there was a pack that made mobs difficult in different areas, well don't wait.
I'm playing on normal as I always do, 1hander /shield spec (Awesome since I can stun and mitigate more or less all incoming damage), Well I still get spanked by mammoths at level 18. And I've walked into caves in areas far beyond the starting area where I got my arse handed to me, my companion rarely takes much damage, well in some caves she gets 1/2 shot and same goes for me.
So yes, there are areas where things really do tell you to bugger off and come back later.

You could lower the difficulty like Usukane said, but whenever I do that I always feel like I cheated real bad. Have a look through your inventory and see if you have any appropriate resist potions or paralyze potions that might help. If not, kite it around the room or look for some ledge or something that doesn't compute in the AI's pathfinding. There has to be something you can do.
