Apart from "Open the Box" what is the first thing you will do?

Play it.

Squeal with glee?

Read the manual, of course.

I always read the manual and optimize the game in the option menu before i play any game.

I'll close the blinds and read the manual and look at the paper map while the game installs to my Xbox hard drive.

Open disk drive.

Cram game in.

Wait for menu to come up.

Click 'install.'

Play.

stay up for 72 hours constantly playing, with no breaks

Depends on how I get it.

If I get it via hard copy, I'll install the game and read the manual while doing so, play when ready, and never return to my real life for a matter of days.

If I get it via Steam, I'll play a marathon of Folk Metal on my computer while waiting for the download to finish, play when ready, and ditto what I said above. Except I'm turning of the Steam community in my game as I don't want to be bothered by some of my more pestering friends who would be like "OMG YOU HAZ SCKYRIMZ, HOW'Z IIT?" right when I'm trying to kill some level 7 troll or something. Not to mention seeing messages pop up in the lower right corner just ruins immersion. And blocks your UI. :brokencomputer:

1) Squee.
2) Find out my computer can't play it.

At first I will wait a couple of weeks for the decryption key to become available. On release night, I will spend two hours restarting Steam constantly, until the button finally says "Play" in stead of "Preload Info." Then I will smoke one four cigs in the ten minutes decryption takes, after which I will keep playing until I literally faint from exhaustion. (the last sentence is ofc highly dependent on the quality of the game)

Beat off to the logo on the box....

Okay seriously, what kind of answer do you expect?

1. Open box.

2. Smell the manual.

3. Insert disk.

4. Play.

ill most likely just buy 2 copies and [censored] on one

Read the manual. Then make sure everything is perfect (I have to be like a sim with green bars full on everything) then I play until I collapse.

Get to work on finishing off the http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1148207-the-library-of-tes-frum/

Not play it and study the strat guide.

Once I set it in, I'll go directly to options and turn on general and diolouge subtitles. (Very hard of hearing here.)

Listen to the intro as best I can so I get a gist of what the plot is about.

Then I'll begin a new game. Wherever my character is, first thing I'll do is check out the races to se what they look like, and to see if they have new ones.

See what customation they have now.

Make an Imperial female and name her Lydia Oscarus.

Begin her adventure.

Take a very long nap.

-Track down the Severed Nord Leg THAT MUST BE IN THE GAME :stare:

-Proceed to go on a killing spree with said Nord Leg, killing every Nord I can find.

The people will tell horror-filled stories of the event for years to come.

lol


I'll be playing for a full day.

I'll be spending the first week or so with very little sleep.

Spend hours on Character Creation.

When Steam unlocks my preload I will disappear off the face of the world for a week.

After I get home with it, I'll put it on my office table and see how long can I resist the urge to install it.
