Quick Look: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

FUCKING 28:04!!!!! HOLY FUCK! HAHAHAHA!

@LegendaryChopChop:

Sure, person who signed up last week, judging by the username.

I've never played an Elder Scrolls game, but damn, I'm ready to jump into this one.

You know I love the fantast element and the huge, HUGE world, but the gameplay always turned me off about these games. I really tried to give Oblivion a chance but couldn't. Hopefully this one changes my mind.

Horse meet dragon, dragon horse.

someone please tell me, does the PC version look great?

I'm playing it on high (2nd highest preset) and it looks real nice

Holy shit...THOSE GIANTS!

30 hours in myself, and I learned the hard way you do not mess with those giants.

Does anyone know if the session with Greg playing Skyrim yesterday will be uploaded to the site?

This Quick Look feels really pointless after the 12-hour stream we got yesterday.

disagree, more skyrim is better than no skyrim.

Pretty sure its safe to assume they will.

Would've been hilarious if this was just the 12 hour playthrough.

@StandStrong: Jeff said yes, they already started loading the preshow with dave

Flying saber tiger

28:05

Arise chicken!

CHICKEN ARISE

Wait... this needed a quicklook?

OF another hour...

making it 13hours of Skyrim on Giant bomb in the last 24 hours?

Oke Brad, kil la mammoth or i'll be dissapointed!

Well done Notch.

That giants part was great

Nice Quick Look, and really made that 12 hours look like a waste of time. Good job, get yourselves a drink to celebrate.

Hey guys, remember when Skyrim was going to be the biggest disappointment evaaaar with each news story about it?

Another "derp" for the internet!

Poor poor Sabretoothed Tiger.. 28:05.. MUAAAAAHAHAHA! - Yes it is a tiger, not a bear.

Man fuck dragons... flying tiger is where its at!

That poor bear.

Best thing about this game. No VATS!

Edit: This quicklook is to long damn. cant watch anymore must play more Skyrim.

Great addition to the marathon. Now I'm off to resolve the whole BF3/ Skyrim situation which will certainly drive me insane. It'll be worth it though.

Flying Tiger, Hidden Dragon

See it much like you, Jeff. Fallout 4..I got tired of New Vegas. I don't know if I will ever get Skyrim, but it looks very good and seems a great game

So stoked for this!

Strapline on this QL is fucking brilliant. A good weekend to all!

Best start to a quick look ever.

We're blasting off agaaaaiiiinnnnnnn!

I need a gif of what happens at 28:04. NOW.

Omg finally

That giant hitting the bear was the funniest thing I saw in a while.

This has been a crazy time for games. Dark Souls, Uncharted 3, Batman Arkham City, Skyrim, apparently saints row three is really good too (haven't seen any of it yet). It's a great time to be into games.

Skyrimjob!!!

Awesome QL, guys.

Jeff: "Ice drains stamina."

Brad: "Oh, I didn't know that."

Isn't Brad "Five stars" Shoemaker the best reviewer ever?

I don't see what those two things have to do with each other.

Some of these areas remind me of the Wrath of the Lich King zones in WoW.

What he's saying is, in order to give a game a good review score, you have to know about every ability, every monster, every location, and every possible interaction between all three categories of thing. If you don't, this guy wont take you seriously.

@fantasyfreak07: After dying of laughter that was exactly what I thought lol!!!!!

I was drinking tea right at the moment when Jeff started going crazy when Brad was going to attack the troll. I had to hold my laughter, and then crack up. Jeff you almost made me laugh out my tea, warn me next time.

As to the UI...it's great for consoles. For the PC it leaves much to be desired, I think. But to be fair, someone'll come out with a mod for the PC UI eventually.

The visuals haven't improved at all since Fallout 3 and they still have that shitty blood splatter.

But god if i don't want this game so badly.

What a way to kick things off with a nice Dragon attack.

Man the combat still looks like Whack-a-mole.
