Would You Like It If I Did This?

Post » Thu Sep 22, 2011 7:37 am

Right, so, I've been thinking a lot, and what I'd really like to do is make a video on Skyrim's character creation on the day I get the game, I have it pre-ordered from gamestop with overnight shipping, and my pre-order was placed a month and a half ago, so if that backorder hits me I'm going to be very mad.

Then I thought about it more, and I was like "Oh, well, people probably want to see more than just the character creation." So, I was thinking, if you guys wanted I could make a few videos for you guys, maybe for those of you who aren't getting the game the day of release or are unsure as of now. I actually legally have Fraps (gasp!), so I wouldn't mind spending a couple of hours to show people what the game's like.

Now, I'm also going to want to play, so I can't do like, 20 videos about everything in the game just to make everyone happy, I'd be willing to make approximately 4 - 6 videos, depending on the length, and one of them is going to be Character Creation, so the undecided ones are 3-5.

Anything you guys want to see about it the day of release (or if I somehow don't get it that day... a day or two after that?). I'd like to plan in advance, so that I won't be swarmed with random requests while I want to play.

Some of my ideas for videos are:

  • Magic, Combat, & Stealth
  • Homes, Daily Jobs, and Skills (such as Cooking, Fishing, Wood Cutting, Mining, Blacksmithing, etc.)
  • Exploration with Areas that Epitomize the different areas of Skyrim without spoiling things


Feel free to suggest anything that you think I should cover. :)

How about "Cool stuff you found in your first few hours exploring."

Like maybe a couple suggestions of places you went early on and found good items or spells at. Since I will be waiting for the mail at least until the afternoon on the 11th, I wouldn't want to see a live stream or anything that would take the PC far from the starting area (and ruin the sense of surprise and exploration), but I've already seen enough of the Riverwood/Falkreath area that a bit of a heads up on what's around would be cool.

Thanks for putting in the time to satiate our curiosity.

I am gonna play an assassin, but I would like to see videos of you as a warrior/mage so I can see how the Radiant Story/AI handles it differently.

I second the OP's idea :D

Alright, I might be able to do that.

Then maybe a Magic/Combat/Stealth idea would be good to show the people the diversity. :D Awesome.

I'd obviously show different aspects of it like how people react to you throwing spells around town, how people react when you do different things with different skills, etc. :)
