11-11-11 Can't wait!

+1 to your wife! Somebody on here is playing Amalur...it's justyourhero who is playing it....can't remember but it is somebody on my FL. I don't think you'll regret Skyrim. It's so easy to get immersed and explore.

Got it today. All I can say is wow! I've only played for maybe a total of 2hrs so far and I can't believe how much there is to do already.

I finished the main story for skyrim Thursday. Played alot of the side missions too. I am kinda board with it now. Always get that way witha game when I'm done with the main story. Now back heavy into mw3 until mass effect 3 is out. About to prestige for the third time. Also playing twisted metal. Will post a review when I have played enough of it. U will love skyrim bloody. Just save as often as possible cause it is glitchy. U don't want to have to replay large sections of the game after a glitch cause u forgot to save. Take it from someone whose been there. It does auto save but sometimes there is long periods where it doesn't. So just be safe. I lost my favorite sword toward the end of the main story cause someone disarmed me with a spell and I could not find where it landed. It had been a really long time since it saved and I didn't want to replay that section so after 20 minutes of searching I gave up and moved on without it. So I cannot say it enough. Save, save, and save some more. Good luck and good fun.

I can't wait for mass effect 3. its going to be exciting barking commands at the tv via kinect. I never used any of the controls for my team mates but ill yell at garrus to snipe a fool or grunt to run in there and soak up some damage lol.

Anyone use the Nord character? That's the one I picked...with so much going on in the game i feel a little overwhelmed. Any advice on what to do? I'm only a level 5. I'm thinking about starting over with a hybrid type or should I keep going?

I decided to start over...going for a High Elf Mage.

I didn't use a Nord. When I played Oblivion, I used a Redguard b/c I felt they were the most balanced. I tend to prefer melee, 1 handed, sneaking, and archery. This time around I went with an Argonian b/c I thought they looked cool. It worked out that they are good with Sneaking and Lockpicking. I just wanted to have a cool looking character...and unfortunately, I named him after myself which was stupid... I doubt Ryan was a popular name in Skyrim. I like my name but not fitting really for an Argonian.

This game has proven to be the one to pull me away from CoD. I've been playing pretty much only CoD since MW2. I'm just bummed I didn't find I would like Elder Scrolls sooner. Not saying I won't play MW3. Skyrim has taken me over...lol.

I went nord. Just kind of go with the flow of the game man. There is A LOT, but once you take it a little at a time and just play it flows together. I am almost done with most of the main guilds like the black brotherhood and thieves guild. I still have the companions to do and I do as well.

this game is engrossing thats for damn sure. Only problem is if you stray from MW3 for too long you get rusty as hell.

Currently I'm up in Winterhold, schooling up my Mage. Loving the Dual Casting Destruction!
