It depends on if they do any special "pre-order bonuses" which I hate... If so I'll pre-order from whatever retailer has the best one. <_<
If they do not do that, which I hope. I will just go buy the super deluxe edition day one from my local Wal-Mart. (assuming my friends and I don't go to a midnight launch)

I know. Yet I can handle the other things that might disappear. Spell creation is different though. Even after 100s of hours I find I come back to experimentation with Spell [...and Enchantments and Alchemy], it is one of the more intricate parts of the game. I have to say I like that sense I get that there is a Morrowind-esque turn in the depth of the application of culture and lore. If it is even close to Morrowind in this regard, then I have to recognize that it is easily worth paying full price for. Yet, if there is no spell creation... that is a big problem. I can't let that go. At the very least, I have to buy it on sale, because it sends the wrong message for future games. I mean, sure you spent a lot of time with making spells unique Bethesda, but next time you guys are having a brain storming session on the next game and you get to the part where someone says something to the effect of "I can make this look fantastic, but we might lose this or that gameplay mechanic."


...just stop them right there and pretend it never happened.


Because if you don't do that, then I feel forced to hold off on my purchase lest I appear to be rewarding you for doing something stupid.

I'll try to get my hands on it the 10th :wink_smile: Pre order for sure

where is the already pre- ordered option? :mellow:

Voted day one but I forgot that you often can pre-load big Steam releases so I'll pre-order when it becomes available on Steam

I'm going to pre-order the CE for the computer and pre-order the normal version for Xbox 360..... Its a tradition to play it on a Console before the computer for me... Mods are just to tempting.

I'll probably do what I did with New Vegas, pre load it on Steam so I have it downloaded a few days in advance, then just load it up the second it launches. I will keep plenty of alcohol handy to deal with any crippling bugs at launch, I'm actually hoping to drink as little scotch as possible that night for that very reason

Wow can't believe some people put "Not untill I hear it is accually good" and "Bargin Bin" O_O sad


I preorderd it so day one i guess, gonna upgrade to CE as soon as it comes out at gamestop

Pre-order CE for PC like I always do for Elder Scrolls.

How is that sad? It's priorities. My enjoyment of the game will be greater if I wait for patches to come out, and I get it at a better price to boot, which allows me to purchase other things I enjoy.

Games have one of the highest depreciations in monetary value. It's quite smart to take advantage of that... kind of like waiting for movies to come out on DvD instead of going to the theater.

Ill preorder it most likely might get ce if it has what I want.. otherwise normal version.

I'll probably pre-order it after summer.
Collectors Edition obviously.
But can't decide on which platform, x360 or PC.. PC mostly.

This,

Pre-order. It's a given purchase, and has been since the announcement trailer. I have complete trust in Bethesda.

Already pre-ordered in full amount, did it when it was announced at EB games. got the reciept in my wallet, and first on the call list for when the CE is announced for the upgrade, which i will do.

I'll get it a few days after it's been released, most likely. I never pre-order things and I don't want to go down to the store and see the lazy people in my small-ish town have not yet stocked the shelves with the game yet or something. I don't have any friends who play TES so it's not like I'll be hearing about people playing it before me or anything.

Based on past experiences combined with current trends: Bargain Bin once the GotY edition comes out so I don't have to piece the "whole" game together DLC by DLC by DLC on top of waiting for the inevitable "Whups, some really ugly bugs made it through testing but don't worry, we'll fix the state the game hit stores in RSN!" (Real Soon Now?) patch. I have complete trust in Bethesda...to be consistent with the way their releases have been done before.

It's interesting how people always say, wow this game is so crap, I've lost alot of trust in this developer ( *cough* fallout new vegas *). "Next time I'll wait for the reviews of a game before I buy it:".


*next game is announced*

PRE-ORDER!!!! PRE-ORDER!!!!!!!!11!!

I don't really know yet. I have to wait until we have more information; if I like everything we learn I'll pre-order the collectors edition. Otherwise I'll wait until there's a plethora of reviews and go from there.

First Day...I plan on heading to a local Wal-mart Superstore...about 3 miles from where I live, and forking over the dough.

Definitely pre-order. What I'm hoping is they do the same thing they did with Fallout NV... don't want to stir anything up here. But I'd like the get a physical CE for the PC, but be able to download from Steam so I don't have to use the discs.

You must have a huge amount a patience. There is no way I could wait that long. I do understand your point with the DLC but I could never wait that long.

I'll just walk into Best Buy or Future Shop on day one and pick it up... well unless they have some cool Collector's Edition in which case I will pre-order.

already pre-ordered and paid off at Gamestop. Just waiting for announcement of the CE to change it up; and pay more on it
