I'm wondering why none posted this already Just went to the gas station and found the latest issue of the german PC Magazine PCGames and saw that there is a 10-pages-coverage of skyrim.'each of the 5 big cities in skyrim will have a fancy flair. Riverwood to example is a rural city in which you find roughly built blockhouses inclusive a fitting sawmill. The city Markarth is a massive, in stone built stronghold with buildings standing on vertiginous cliffs and with waterfalls which gives you a breathtaking view. In Haarfingar, a port city at the coast, it's really busy. Even the from the series well known dunmer get an own settlement with a fitting, dark style.'

So it sounds like Riverwood is one of the major cities...

€dit: Hope Sphagne is right

Of course my idea above means it would have to be a crime if you're caught sabotaging the economy, otherwise it'd be too easy to destroy the crops yourself and then just waltz in with all this convenient replacement goods to sell.

Where did you hear that? And why would quality>quantity bug you? Fourteen settlements is plenty for variety.

And just so long as the Facebook thing is tucked away in the options menu and never once pops up uninvited to ruin my experience I don't give a [censored] what BGS do with it. Just keep it well out of my face. Stupid Facebook.

Yes you would but it wouldn't repair the economy because money would be being taken out of it as you would spend it elsewhere (economics exam in a week so it's kind of in my mind :confused: ).

Welcome to modern day commerce buddy!

NO Facebook please!

And would your bounty be the scale of the economic damage?

I am happy to hear that there will be a few nonthreatening dragons that we will be able to talk to. Should help the storyline be a little more gray.

Can anyone ask on twitter to confirm this facebook thing?
The only things that can keep me from buying Skyrim are social network connections in-game and DRM.

Please don't tell me facebook is the new steam. No FB account - no play. Just joking

I'm not a big user of Facebook, but I think people are over-reacting.

1. svck it up. Facebook is hugely popular. It's natural for Skyrim players to want to share their characters. What better way to do that than through the existing infrastructure?

2. The only way this could be bad is if it is intrusive. But there's no reason to think that. Indeed, it is more likely than not that it won't be intrusive. Bethesda can't require you to have a Facebook account to play. So why would playing the game require you to be logged into Facebook?

What bothers me is the commercialisation. If Bethesda are catering for people who want to share their characters over facebook in one aspect then this implies this focus in other parts of the game which could be more intrusive.

NO, NOT THE CORN!

I don't see any reason to think that building in a mechanism to share Skyrim characters over Facebook is some sort of corrupting influence over other parts of the game. That is, beyond that of Bethesda's already manifest desire to appeal to an audience well broader than traditional PC RPG fans.

I just have an image carved into my mind when I'm starting the game up for the first time, preparing to be greeted by the main theme and then gets a gigantic facebook logo overlapping the menu shoved into my face. If the feature is in the game, Bethesda is hopefully going to make a log-in to facebook window hidden deep within the main menu options and not forcing it upon us.

all the other information is Old


this FB thing was a rumor, I hope its STILL a rumor.

Optional or not Its not apart of the Fudging game and Im paying for it, I liked TES on Facebook already, thats it I don't need it in the damn game.....

Since I will be getting this for the 360 and I don't have Live Gold, I guess I don't have to worry about the Facebook thingy. You need Live Gold to access Facebook. Pretty silly anyways to have face book

If they can do Facebook they can then do multiplayer. I don't want either.

Come to think of it, if they have a chat window in game it will save me alt-tabbing to switch to chats... Damn I just became that guy everyone hates.

:brokencomputer: bliviongate:

all sounds good, i dont really see what the big deal with facebook i use it to contact friends and if people want to share their skyrim characters with their friends i cant see anything wrong with that (i wont be doing it though). As long as the option isnt a big pop up menu, people need to calm down its not like all the people who play farmville are going to start playing [censored] skyrim just because it has facebook

All I need to do now is to tell you I will be playing on my Ipad and that I wish that the guns will be a bit more like COD.

I don't have any problem with the facebook connectivity thing but for those who don't like it you'll just have not to allow Skyrim to acess to your information (like you would do with any app you don't want on facebook) :wink_smile:

Also, its nice to know that the wind will affect water, can't wait to see this

There better not be any special benefits associated with Facebook. I don't even have a facebook account!

Facebook is interesting for companies because it allows them to acces your profile and private data.

I personally don't want companies to know everything about me. Some people don't care, that's their choice...

But what ussually happens is that companies will try to encourage you to use facebook. They could for example link a unique set of armor to using facebook-users on skyrim.

I also don't care if that option is in or out, as long as it's 100% optional (as in not obligatory or linked to game content).

I hope the facebook thing wont make it into the game or it was a mistake by the article. They should rather work on horses.
