    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

    Game » consists of 30 releases. Released Nov 11, 2011

    The fifth installment in Bethesda's Elder Scrolls franchise is set in the eponymous province of Skyrim, where the ancient threat of dragons, led by the sinister Alduin, is rising again to threaten all mortal races.

    Just fired it up. I present my Nordic Badass....

    i was thinking of getting it for the pc. are there any noticeable bugs that could fuck up its performance? that's all i'm really concerned about. also, what are the minimum and/or recommended system specs for the game? i'm almost certain the only thing my machine is somewhat lacking in is processing power.

    I don't understand how you can play it on the pc already. It is a steamworks game, so even if you got the physical disk early steam will not let you play the game until the release date. Are you using a pirated copy or is there something else I'm not thinking about?

    If you've got the rig to run this you shouldn't play it any other way imho. Incredible visuals and the modding community are enough of a reason, I haven't seen any bugs yet. Sorry for being brief, on my phone. More skyrim!

    Hope not :P From what I've read it shouldn't be an issue, but don't take my word for it.

    I payed 2 bucks for the trial at www.vpnsecure.me Download their client, turn off steam, connect to aussie server, fire up skyrim... Profit!

    I've still got my tunnel up as I'm not sure what will happen if I close it out, hence my terrible phone usage for posting. Good luck my friends, and may everyone have an amazing skyrim release!

    My first instinct was to play a Nordic badass like the OP, but once I got to the character creation screen I just couldn't resist making a dainty redheaded firecracker with a giant mace in one hand and fire streaming from the other. She's still pretty badass.
