Lack of werewolves and vampires. If werewolves are not in, then I may or may not buy it. If vampires are not in either, then I won't buy Skyrim. One of the two needs to be in the game in order for me to purchase it.

everybody who is not buying this game should speak up now. for every person who does not plan on playing this game, i intend to by three collector's editions apiece.

i will use these collector's editions to build a great effigy to Todd, which i will proceed to burn on midnight of 1/1/2012.

I'll obviously buy the game, but the thing I listed (bad scaling) would VERY significantly reduce my enjoyment from it.

Mandatory steam. If the only way to play the game is to set up a Steam account, then I will walk away disappointed.

what I mean is I hope Bethesda doesn't pull the same crap as crytek and say the new engine is so great and much better than the old one when it turns out to be worse
:(

A dealbreaker? The gameinformer comes in and says 5/10.

If the appropriate deal breakers are in the game and I don't buy it, I'll pm you.
Just remind me...

Am buying it, regardless. gamesas has already earned that $60 based on past gaming pleasure. If Skyrim svcks it will be their next game that doesn't get bought.

I'm torn. I'd like to get the collectors edition, but honestly, I'm scared it won't be worth it. No one thing could make me not want to try the game...but if it lacks certain elements, or has flaws that are similar to the one's in Oblivion (not the same flaws, similar flaws...of course if it did have the same flaws that would be worse)

I'm hoping for mounted combat, werewolves, some type of pole weapon, thrown weapons. I'm also looking for cities with reasonable populations, and all the necessary requirements for good exploration (unique landscapes, tombs, and items). I'm guessing those first four won't be in, and I think that not including them is a mistake. If the game gives me the same feeling as Oblivion, I will return it. I hope it doesn't.

hahahahaha i didnt think of that that would svck really bad hahahaha

small render distance, [censored] graphics slow framerate, mainly 360 performance issues.

If there were persistent freezing issues, game-breakers similar to the A-Bomb, or vampire bloodgrass game breaking bugs left unaddressed and unpatched.

I'm buying it no matter what now, but the only thing that would piss me off is if they made it "end" like Fallout 3 & NV.

Oh, and if they made the game a hack and slash linear storyline that has no link to elder scrolls at all, and lasts about 2 hours to complete. :facepalm:

Seriously you need to stop, any time I See you posting your always trash talking, I Misread so what?

ONLY deal breaker for me would be if it turned out to be "The adventures of Lilly the Magical Unicorn"

wait... I still might play it...

I'll play it at least once, but what would stop me from playing after the first time is not having spellmaking and bad level scaling

For me a Dealbreaker would be Steamworks, A Steam option is fine though

Not having some type of blocking system for duel wield melee weapons. You can't have a warrior who can't block/parry, might aswell have a mage who doesn't know any spells!

Sorry man, didn't mean to offend you. Just please try to read things better before making replies, thankyou.

Day one DLC ala Dragon Age II.

one of the worst deal breakers POSSIBLE for me, is knowing that THERE IS NO DWEMER RUINS, AND THAT THE TRAILER AND THE songs of skyrim game informer video LIED TO US!! BUAAHHH!! BUT knowing this is not true, there is no deal breaker, and obviously there WONT be any....is :tes: we are talking about guys, not even oblivions, the living cliche , could stop us (even tought i loved it, but some guys got really dissapointed with it[i dont really know why])

I'm going to buy the game. I'm going to play the game. It's going to be awesome and that's that.

Sadly, its just a re-branded modified gamebryo engine which is a VERY big negative for me. The only reason they called it a NEW engine was because a very large response to the announcement of skyrim was "oh, please don't be using that old gamebyro engine", "Think I will avoid this if its using the same engine", "gamebyro is ancient, create a new engine bethesda!" etc..etc.. on most gaming news forums. Its 100% pure PR BS to svcker reluctant people into buying it, it isn't the first time that bethesda has flat out lied about their games to get a sell. Honestly, just watching the trailer told me it was still the gamebyro engine, oblivion looked just as good and the little bit of NPC action/movements are EXACTLY the same from oblivion. So, I am really saddened that I will have to suffer through gamebyro once again, it might look prettier and run a little better, but it wills still have a bunch of left over warts and possibly some new ones.

However, that isn't a deal breaker, just a big negative. Another huge negative is that if the games feels dumbed down, even fallout, while better, felt pretty dumbed down in character interaction wise, I want to actually have some dialog besides just quest related stuff. Sadly, bethesda isn't known now for their great character interactions. Still not a deal breaker.

Overall, I will get this probably, HOWEVER, I will NOT be buying it on release day. The deal breaker is DLC! Sorry bethesda, I stopped buying games a while back that have DLC(you got me with fallout, learned my lesson), I just can't stand to feel like I am getting an incomplete game. I will probably borrow a friends copy to play, but I will not buy the game till the GOTY edition with all DLC is released. I have not bought fallout new vegas yet for this reason and I will not be buying Skyrim for the same reason.

Nothing.

Nothing could stop me from getting Skyrim. It is my most anticipated game of all time.
