[Gaming] Elder Scrolls 5 - Dawnguard is HERE!

[Krisken]

Good god, I want a computer to run this.

 

[Frank]

Not gonna lie here, I am not impressed with the orc. Khajit and Argonian, yeah, they look rad, but the orc is waaaaaay too human looking.

 

[Shegokigo]

I'm with Frankie. It looks more half-orc than full. Still worlds better than the Pig-Ganons from Oblivion.

Well considering this one that might actually be a half-orc:

 

[Frank]

I doubt it, but I forgot about that picture, so at least all the orcs won't look lame.

 

[Jay]

Mods will change this.

 

[Shegokigo]

Agreed, no chance I'd buy this for console.

 

[Jay]

After what they did for Oblivion? buying it on console would be a downright dumbass thing to do

What'd they do? You mean the DLC?

Mod Community.

 

[Shegokigo]

^
That.

 

[Jay]

To even consider buying Skyrim on a console is about as dumb a gaming decision one can make. Unless you don't have a PC or have one that sucks a dick.

 

[PatrThom]

Mod Community.

Yes, please.

Or have you forgotten things like...this?

Man, looking at those screenshots, this game is going to make my poor rig burst into flames.

Upgrade time!

This should settle the whole Orcs thing:

 

[Jay]

Earlier, Pete Hines (the Vice President of Bethesda’s PR department), stated on Twitter that same-sex marriage will be allowed in Skyrim. He responded to someone who called the topic “hush hush” by saying

"Not hush hush, just not making a huge deal out of it. You can marry anyone."
"Not any NPC, just mean any male or female. Doesn't matter what you're playing."

It appears that Skyrim is taking after games like Dragon Age and Fable, where same-sex marriages/relationships have always been allowed.

 

[Shegokigo]

Nice, it's a nice bonus. Been a great immersion builder for me in the ME games. Haven't played DA though, but glad Skyrim will do it.

No idea what race I'm going to pick yet.... maybe an Orc female and nail me one of them elfy types....

 

[Jay]

Imperial dude, maybe Nord. Then replay with an evil bitch with the shitload of mods.

 

[Frank]

Breton or High Elf, I loves me some magickin'

 

[doomdragon6]

I always liked playing Argonians for some reason.

 

[LordRendar]

Imperial Sword and Board.

 

[Math242]

Redguard 2hander for shits and giggles. I'm kinda fed up always playing mages in TES

 

[Dave]

Sneak, shoot, run, magically hide. Rinse, repeat.

That's how I roll, bitches.

 

[Necronic]

Same sex ok. Racial mixing, however, is prohibited.

 

[Shegokigo]

You gotta be kidding me....

 

[Necronic]

Yes, Bethesda cried foul at the "possibility of racial mixing weakening the purity of the superior races." They are actually an Arian Brotherhood front.

 

[Shegokigo]

Half of me hopes you're just joking. The other half sadly believes that it's a possiblity.

Fart noise goes here. I guess it'll be just like New Vegas then. They eventually release the DLC on PC and by that point I'm long done with the game.

 

[AshburnerX]

They are 30-Day limited exclusivity. You'll get them within 30 days of release.

 

[Frank]

Even by then I'll be long gone. I may get some GOTY version a couple of years from now maybe but I likely won't be plunking down for them then.

You're planning on playing Skyrim on a console?

 

[Frank]

Sweet Christ in Hell on a pogo stick in hell Jesus no.

 

[Necronic]

Then why would you care about DLC? That game is gonna have enough user made content to keep you busy for life. I don't think I have ever once bought DLC/expansions for a Bethesda game.
