Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim announced

Kunikos:

Because I don’t think it’s a big deal.

Look, if you don’t want to get anything spoiled on a game like Skyrim, you shouldn’t be looking at anything Skyrim related at all. The walkthrough videos alone spoil tons of things, screenshots of various things, etc. Internet black-out is the only way to be sure.

Fuck you.

I guess I wont read this thread anymore since theres no moderation and you’ll just spoil everything you can.

But its okay cause your opinion is more valid and important than everyone else’s.

Actually, if people promise not to quote you I can just ignore you, but someone is bound to fuck it up.

That’s an assumption on your part but hey, do what you want. I’m not spoiling where and how you get it, what NPCs react to it, what quest lines in the game, what effects it has, etc. But yeah, fuck me.

Staff Sergeant:

Bottom line is Bethesda didn’t mention it for a reason and people have a right to be annoyed that it got spoiled even though there were definite hints. I just dislike the “well it was obvious to me so you can’t call it spoilers” attitude.

Would you be more surprised by being able to join the Dark Brotherhood, or NOT being able to?

Again, not “obvious to me” but more “I want to know because it’s either purchase now or purchase after DLC 5 is released.”

Kunikos · 2011-11-04T14:50:17.000Z

Fine, whatever, delete all the posts referencing it if you want.

WTF? Seriously?

Do me a favor and assume that us spoiler-phobes aren’t seeking out walkthrough videos, okay? Some of us are purposely not looking for spoilers.

The refusal to use the damn spoiler tags that so many of us fought to get implemented on this forum really sucks.

stusser · 2011-11-04T14:56:29.000Z

Yeah, eat a dick, Nikos! Spoiling Nazi dickeater! Heil Speurer! Why don’t you go beat your kids some more?

What exactly are you talking about on the topic of Skyrim if you are avoiding spoilers completely?

stusser · 2011-11-04T15:05:33.000Z

Clearly he deserves to not only have the game spoiled, but be kicked right in the nuts.

Kunikos · 2011-11-04T15:06:46.000Z

I feel like you are trying to troll everyone at the same time.

stusser · 2011-11-04T15:12:16.000Z

Lets deal with this like rational adults. You are a spoiling baby eater, and while I’m all for eating babies, I simply cannot condone spoiling videogames.

Speaking of which, has anyone else heard the rumor that a tribute to the band Menudo is in Skyrim? They’re orcs, and critical to the main quest. But I’ve already said too much.

Golden Mead for a Golden Game

It's done!!!We're pleased to announce that after more than three years of hard work, the team at Bethesda Game Studios has completed over 20 versions of Skyrim -- across multiple platforms, language

Skyrim officially reached it’s 20th version release, being now officially gold, so they celebrated with some mead.

Really, I envy them so much, it’s really hard to get some decent mead around here unless you brew it yourself (last time I had mead was 4 years ago).

From what I have heard, mead is incredibly expensive to make these days, what with honey prices in the stratosphere.

Becuse there can still be discussion of the game that doesn’t involve ruining spoilers?

What about wanting to discuss character builds, or heavy armor vs. light armor, or talking about the racial traits? None of these things are really spoilers, as it’s all stuff that’s “gameplay mechanics” or “RPG mechanics” - but we DON’T maybe want to hear about specific quests or encounters that could occurr.

You’d have folks who want to avoid spoiler stuff but still talk about the game just have to go dark completely? Fuck you.

BleedTheFreak:

Fuck you.

You gonna let him disrespect you like that Nikos? I thought you was hard. Sheeeeiiit.

Kunikos:

What exactly are you talking about on the topic of Skyrim if you are avoiding spoilers completely?

Let me break it down for you:

Not spoilers: The fact that Skyrim features the same races as Oblivion, has swordfighting, dragons, magic, Daedra, Nords, and anything else officially featured on the box or in marketing. Rule of thumb - If I can see it on the official media page of the Bethesda website, then it’s not a spoiler.

Spoilers: Any new info that was gleaned from a livestream of somebody playing the game early.

Just so I’m clear, I played the sample of the game at PAX. 15 full minutes of play. Guess what? Somehow, I wasn’t spoiled. The Bethesda folks did a good job of whittling out anything from the demo that would’ve spoiled the game and I trusted them to do so beforehand.

Theres no mods, so thats not going to happen.

Sarkus · 2011-11-04T16:01:26.000Z

I guess I don’t consider Kunikos’ “revelations” much of a spoiler since we’ve seen them in previous games in the series. It’s hardly a shocking new twist. I mean, Bethesda decided to spoil one of the biggest new things from the start, the inclusion of dragons. That’s bigger then anything that is a retread from earlier games.

John_Reynolds · 2011-11-04T16:04:48.000Z

It’s not just the spoilery aspect, it’s that there was already grumbling about it, a previous poster nicely edited their post to add the spoiler tag, and Kunikos decides to just Pitfall right over all that and drop it in a new post. Douchebaggery at its finest.

Mead sucks. This is not a spoiler.
