Excitement level for Skyrim?

Post » Tue Feb 15, 2011 2:26 am

I'll save my excitement for release day when I finally get to fire up the game for the first time. I'll be excited then, but for now I'm just biding my time till 11-11-11.

I said i'm here everyday. What would a mod fix?

im glad you asked since im here almost everyday too.

a mod would fix the fact that youre here everyday and not playing skyrim. :) we just need a really big bad mod put out by bethesda (called a demo version) so we can help work out the bugs. ;)

As a counterweight to the rediculous excitement percentages referred to in earlier posts, allow me to present another view:

I am still interested, as the game tentatively seems to be OK, and I have greatly enjoyed both Morrowind and Oblivion. (For Oblivion, I actually bought the game and all the DLC's twice so I could have backup copies, as I belong to the mature/affluent/well-educated segment, and the cost of a game like this is no real issue, if I want to have it.)

However, I am not excited. This is largely due to the prospect of the game requiring third party online activation software. To give an example, I have all the Civilization games apart from the latest, which I did not even consider buying because of this issue. A friend of mine, who is a software professional, and a greater fan of the Civ series than I am, is even more adamant, that he could never get Civ V and agree to have 3rd part software like that on his personal PC. Why? I think my friend does not want mystery software doing mysterious things amidst his personal data. Personally, I mostly feel insulted (yes, really) by the notion, that I would be deemed stupid enough to pay good money for a product, when its EULA gives a third party every right to withhold that product from me at their whimsy, and potentially cause other frustrations as well. That is a bad deal, plain and simple, and I think it is insulting to even suggest it. (See, I repeated that word.)

So, I am still keeping tabs on the situation, but mentally I am preparing to call it a day/close the book/pull the curtains on Elder Scrolls. To be honest, as time goes by, I am gradually feeling less and less disappointed and more and more comforted by the notion, that I may be able to spend a couple of hundred hours more constructively than playing on my PC.

50-80% It differs between days.
I love TES, but im unsure of the future of the series. So if Skyrim fails to be what I want it to be, excitement drops, if it proves to be, excitement goes up.
And its in such a difficult state to tell which way its leaning completely.

The only other game to match my excitement level now was Halo:Reach

I'm here everyday. 'Nuff said.

I hadn't been on these forums for a good year, then I happened to check out elderscrolls.com just for the hell of it.............. and ......... :woot:

So yes, I'm overly excited, and come November.... I will pretty much disappear from public for awhile.

I started off at 60%, gained 5% every months since. So... 80%. For now. By the release, I'll be at around 2500%

I cannot emphasize enough my excitement for the game without this turning into a lot of !! & caps. The graphics & physics on the dragon for a open world tes game like this is just amazing.

I'm on my phone so not sure how to link to that tweet. I use a twitter app. I assure you he said it though. He's actually tweeted that 2-3 times recently.

Completely excited about it everytime I start playing Elder Scrolls 3 or 4 I think of how much better looking Skyrim will be and wonder about if the gameplay will get better.
Except when I read the forums excitement levels drops to around 55% then.

Why?

Nothing specific really, I wouldn't want to detract from anyone elses excitement.
Just reading some of the stuff on the forum tends to make me think buyer beware at times.
