Telefrog:

I really wish that hadn’t been posted here. I would’ve liked to have stumbled across that surprise myself.

Ugh. I agree.

Sir_Digby · 2011-11-02T08:19:31.000Z

Sorry, had no idea this was a spoiler free thread, people even linked the leaked 30 minutes of gameplay…

Telefrog · 2011-11-02T08:20:04.000Z

Right, but the link doesn’t give anything away. The direct image does.

And if you wanted to post a spoiler, we have spoiler tags.

I agree too, but now the cat is out of the bag I guess I’m more exicted than angry. Plus, there is a good chance I’d have missed it anyway. Sigh.

Sir_Digby · 2011-11-02T08:24:50.000Z

@Telefrog: I get your point but I stand by mine: there was no “no spoilers” warning on the thread, had no intention to spoil anyone’s future fun though, honestly. :/

TimJames · 2011-11-02T08:25:42.000Z

By far the most exciting thing about that picture is having a conversation with someone 20 yards away.

RepoMan · 2011-11-02T08:28:25.000Z

Digby, you just contradicted yourself. The ONLY place for untagged spoilers is in a thread whose title says SPOILERS. ALL other threads have a presumption of spoiler tags only. Make amends now by retro-editing your posts to remove the offending references, please.

Er… Even though I don’t feel obligated to I did that right after the first complaint.

Thanks for doing it though. I still clicked and sort of wish I were a stronger man and had resisted the impulse, but at least it’s on me now.

Speaking of getting the game on Friday, my Amazon pre-order will probably ship via UPS. FedEx? Gets to my house around noon-ish. UPS? Oh, like my copy of Dance with Dragons from Amazon, it’ll probably show around 7pm, last delivery of the day off the truck. And I’m off work since it’s Veteran Day, so gonna be a loooong wait (though I’m making it a 4-day weekend since that Monday is my 47th b-day, so I’ll have plenty of time to play it that weekend).

Nah just blame Bleed. I know I am.

Yeah, after I sent that I realized it was probably something you’d rather NOT know about. Oops!

Tweet from Pete in reply to my question about Steam unlocks:

Me - Steam is going to unlock every hour on the hour for all the various time zones? Every steam game I’ve gotten is usually 12am PST.

Pete - one for oz, one for UK/Europe, one for US (EST is planned), etc

Further tweets make it sound like this is what they are TRYING to pull off, no idea if they will talk Steam into it or not though.

stusser · 2011-11-02T09:35:30.000Z

That’s even better yet, for people to the left. Worst case scenario, it unlocks at midnight. Best-case, 6PM (Hawaii).

I was protected by the spoiler tag, but not my own impulses.

The spoiler doesn’t really surprise me. I know there hasn’t been confirmation yet, but it seemed like enough people wanted it that Bethesda would do it.

That’s what I thought we would get. 12EST/9PST is fine with me, though I won’t get my game until midnight PST anyway unless I go digital. Which I wasn’t planning.

I am strong! I am pure! I haven’t viewed it yet. Lets make a bunch of posts so it goes to a new page.

Although at the end of November, I will have to come back and see what was shown.

Brace for another one:

M’aiq is back! I wonder what references he might point to this time.

For those that don’t know the character:
