Sir Digby:

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:

Whatever. I’ve played the last two games and never remember that being all that notable. But I guess if you are “hard core” or something, it might be considered a spoiler. And the earlier spoiler was hardly a big shock either. I’d put it on par with the following spoiler: THERE ARE ELVES IN THESE GAMES!

Ben_Sones · 2011-11-02T12:25:48.000Z

Another surprise…

Cliff Racers everywhere!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Major spoilers inside.

Mirriam · 2011-11-02T12:45:11.000Z

Warning, huge spoiler

Giaddon · 2011-11-02T13:10:00.000Z

See, now I’m assuming these are jokes, but it’s not worth the risk to click 'em. It’s a quandary.

TimJames · 2011-11-02T13:12:25.000Z

Just squint your eyes! The last two are jokes, the latest Sir Digby one is some character dedicated players might care about. Never heard of it.

Did you miss Morrowind or something? He was all up in dat bidness.

AlanQ · 2011-11-02T13:31:49.000Z

Am I right in thinking they got rid of the unarmed combat kill? I can’t find a clear answer by googling.

RepoMan · 2011-11-02T14:24:23.000Z

Hm, I was just looking at the Skyrim Wiki’s perks page and saw this:

Unarmed attacks with heavy armor gauntlets - damage increased by gauntlets’ armour rating

So that’s hopeful for you, I suppose, though I’m going to be going for big fat fucking one-handed axes, I think.

StephenC · 2011-11-02T15:04:39.000Z

Preordered sometime ago and today I got this from Amazon uk:

Hello,

As you’ve pre-ordered The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, we wanted to let you know that Bethesda, the game’s manufacturer, have been in touch with us.

They’ve confirmed that all customers who pre-order The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim from Amazon.co.uk will receive a ‘Premium Quality World Map’ included in the game box.

For more information, visit: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/feature.html/?ie=UTF8&docId=1000592243

We hope to see you again soon.

Warmest regards,

Amazon.co.uk Video Games Team

I guess that means I get the quality cloth map with my 360 version :)

Royal_Fool · 2011-11-02T15:25:41.000Z

I want to order the one from Amazon UK for that neat cloth map, but Steam ends up being cheaper in the long run, and much, much faster.

Talorc · 2011-11-03T08:18:06.000Z

thanks to various f*ckwit regional pricing policies, I am reduced to having the game pressed onto its plastic disc in its dead tree box shipped halfway around the world AT HALF THE FRICKING PRICE THEY WANT TO TRANSFER THE DIGITAL BITS SITTING ON A SERVER LESS THAN 50KM AWAY FROM ME.

At least i get a map.

Guido_Jones · 2011-11-03T08:36:03.000Z

RepoMan:

Try THAT at Best Buy. Or maybe Best Buy does have midnight release parties, I don’t know. Anyway I like the rabid nerd camaraderie at Gamestop midnight releases.

Depends on the game but they do. Also if you’re not calling in sick, what’s the point in staying up until 12AM to get the game…?

You’re a wierd guy.

inactive_user · 2011-11-03T08:59:57.000Z

You didn’t provide a link, so I am enthusiastically hoping that is all a lie!

What’s That Taste in My Mouth?

Knightsaber · 2011-11-03T09:03:44.000Z

It’s just Xbox Live Avatar crap. People actually buy that, huh?

Based on the items available, a dragon’s fat bone.

Big deal. You guys act like this is new. Have you seen the Avatar items for Call of Duty or Halo?
