what if you were offered an advance copy of skyrim, but... : V

If you were offered access to the complete game a month early (october 11th.), but if you accepted the release date was changed to 11th december 2011, would you accept and ruin the fun for the rest of us, or be nice, and wait till we all get it together.

I'll be honest, i'm a horrible person, and am incredibly egotistical, so i'd get it a month early. sorry.

EDIT.
It would not be a buggy unfinished version, i said complete!
(Or as non-buggy as it would be on releas day anyway. This is hypothetical.)

yup. made it clearer now. maybe...

Are they doing anything with that month or just twiddling their thumbs? Because I am patient and greatly jaded/annoyed by games with great potential being released too early. If it meant another month of fine-tuning I'd probably take the deal and then NOT play the advance copy.

No for me. I can't picture myself sticking it to everyone like that. Plus, I'm not too fashed about waiting until November.

Not to mention, 12-11-11 (or 11-12-11 for others) doesn't look or sound as cool.

Screw everyone else, I'll getting it a month early. This is killing me. I'm on the forum, talking about a game 6 months before it is released.

yup. made it clearer now. maybe...

11.11.11 is too cool.

What do you mean its fun getting it together? lol I hope you don't believe everyone who knows about the game is getting it on release date.......And I'm pretty sure once you get Skyrim the notion of -everyone else- is no where near the front of your mind

» Wed Mar 30, 2011 6:50 am

No. I can bet I need mods and I'm no modder so I need the modders to have the game.

» Wed Mar 30, 2011 1:58 pm

No.
Because I dont want to be hunted down and torn to shreds by an angry mob.

» Wed Mar 30, 2011 10:39 am

I'm selfish as hell so Hell yeah! who cares about other people!

» Wed Mar 30, 2011 4:41 am

Come on! You know you would.

» Wed Mar 30, 2011 12:14 pm

Well, lets just call it all off and put the release date for

12-12-12

» Wed Mar 30, 2011 7:47 am

No, because I'm not a jerk.

» Wed Mar 30, 2011 7:27 am

No, because I'm not a jerk.

Nice edit.

A curse upon you for your willingness to do that!

Seriously, I'd love to get the game early to help test it for everyone else but not at the expense of pushing the release date back. When I play these games, I do all the helpful quests to make life better for the world I'm running around in. I sure wouldn't want to make it worse for people IRL while I was at it.

No, because it would be a buggy, unfinished version.

I hate these psychological questions...

» Wed Mar 30, 2011 1:04 am

No since I expect I'll be getting my kids to get it me for Xmas so I wouldn't get it any earlier anyway :sad:

» Wed Mar 30, 2011 12:04 pm

I wouldn't do it. Mainly because I plan on modding a few days after release, and there would be NO input on what mods people want and things like that if I am the only one with the game.

Was just about to say that. :brokencomputer:

My first thought was absolutely, but that means another month before mod'ers get their hands on it, so no.

» Wed Mar 30, 2011 10:30 am

Of course not. We must advance as society, not as single egoists.

Hahahahahaha, like I care about you lot, I have Skyrim early.

Would be my answer

» Wed Mar 30, 2011 12:56 pm

If it was just as good as the normal copy, then HELLZ YEAH! As you can see I have no sympathy.

» Wed Mar 30, 2011 8:38 am

Nope I am not that selfish - I would wait. I want to play it and swap stories, read the experience of others, ask questions and give answers with all the other players. That to me is part of the fun of a new game.
