New hands-on impressions for Skyrim
Destructoid – "'Epic' is a word that has been thrown around to the point of irrelevance, but it's absolutely the right word for Skyrim. Skyrim is huge, majestic, and genuinely awe-insipring. I have no doubt that hardcore Elder Scrolls fans will play this game for the next half a decade."
DualShockers - "Playing three hours of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was the best tease I've ever had"
The Sixth Axis – " Skyrim isn't just 2011's biggest RPG, it could just be the best ever. You should be very, very excited."
Shacknews – "Very few games get such a charge of excitement out of me, but Skyrim is probably my most anticipated game of the year."
New York Post – "From the limited time I had with Skyrim, I can say with confidence that this will be one of the biggest and most engrossing titles ever. The massive world, numerous side quests and the seemingly endless paths will certainly make Skyrim a game worthy of the Elder Scrolls name."
CVG - "But what we can't do is present our readership with a full picture. We can't put them in the mind-set of being swallowed by the incredible world that Skyrim contains, or becoming immersed in its truly epic storyline."
Joystiq - "Ever since Skyrim was announced, I've had one thing on my mind: dragons. You see, I need to kill them. I need to kill an infinite number of dragons. I don't know what it is that is fueling this need within me, but there it is: I'm a genocidal maniac and every last dragon must die."
Videogamer - "The franchise has always prided itself on its open world tendencies, but this is easily working up to have the most vivid depiction of a fantasy setting in an RPG."
G4TV - "The weather mechanics implemented into Skyrim are the best I've ever seen. The blizzard I walked through looked like snow, milky white diamonds plummeting to the ground."
Kotaku - "Skyrim is so immersive and deep an experience that a person could play for a third of a work day and never even brush by the main storyline."
Wired – "Though the three-hour demo didn't answer those heavy questions, it did get me pumped to spend hundreds more hours immersed in Skyrim's ridiculously detailed world next month. And the first thing I'm going to do when I pick up the game again is collect better loot, max out my skills and slay that freaking dragon. I can't wait."
IncGamers - "And what a world. After exiting a small, claustrophobic, dimly-lit cave we emerge into a landscape composed of a lush green grass and trees, vividly-coloured wild flowers, galloping deer, stalking foxes and singing birds. In the distance we see blue-grey ice capped mountains sheltered by imposing dark clouds. Separating the distinct hues of blue and green is a river, at some points flowing gently, at others rushing over rocks to form small whirlpools and dramatic waterfalls."
IGN – "Skyrim feels like a real place, from the way the wind kicks up snow from the edges of rocky cliffs to the way the surface of ponds ripples under a light rain. It's packed with structured content, but also filled with plenty more reasons to explore."
VG247 – "Bleak Falls Barrow is a dungeon immediately more memorable than any from Oblivion: vegetation fighting to gain a hold amongst the cold rock, low tunnels giving way to exposed chambers through which the bleak sky can be glimpsed and a narrow bridge hewn from the rock spanning an abyss into which an underground waterfall cascades."
Rock, Paper, Shotgun – Part 1, Part 2
Married with Videogames – "Bethesda took a lot of elements from Fallout 3 and Oblivion to create what is going to be a fantastic game that will keep you quite busy throughout this holiday season and for quite sometime after that."
Tech Digest TV – "A game that may well not just meet the hype, but best it"
Inside Gaming (Machinima) – "While your character will no doubt be at the center of your Skyrim experience, it's the game worlds of The Elder Scrolls series that are always the stars of the show. It's tough to say just how big Skyrim's world is compared to the other games, but even in our short play session it's obvious this is quite an expansive slab of land."
Coin-Op.TV – "Skyrim looks great and we already know that Bethesda is going to bring us a fantastic story and exploration of the world. I played about two hours of the game mostly in third person perspective and can say that Bethesda has really opened up the world and nailed this point of view – makes me wonder how I made it through those earlier games in first person view!"
Gaming Truth – Rookie Playthrough, Veteran Playthrough
Eurogamer – "Skyrim's landmass is comparable to its predecessor Oblivion's, but it has the benefit of ruddy great mountains adding a whole lot of vertical space to the world."

The only Bethesda Softworks games I've played are Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The attention to detail, the open worlds, the replayability (is that a word?) of those games and the fact the everything they do is better than what they did before gave me confidence that Skyrim would be filled with all the things that make their other games great and lots of new things to make it even better. They know how to build and RPG and create worlds.

Probably spent 10 hours over the weekend playing. I love it!
I've run across three dragons so far. One is in the intro of the game and your hands are literally tied and you are left to run for your life. Of the other two, the first was part of a quest and I had 6 or 7 NPC's with me and we took it down easily enough. I did have to drink a few health potions when I was on fire for about 30 seconds, but the dragon died nonetheless.
The next dragon I saw freaked me out. I was on my way to retrieve and item for a quest and I looked up at a distant mountain top and spied a dragon circling a structure of some sort and it was breathing down hell on who/whatever was on that peak. I decided to take a closer look.
It took me a good 20 minutes to make my way to the top of the peak. I was going slow and staying off the main trail so I could get up without being noticed. Once I was close enough to see what was going on I noticed that the dragon was attacking a group of frost trolls. There were 5 dead already and only one remained and I watched him wither in a rain of fire.
So I had a choice. Stay put in my cozy hiding place in a crook between two big rocks with a dozen or so trees for additional cover and hope the dragon goes away, or try and kill the dragon on my own. I attacked!
I had a great spot to launch my attack and I was hard to see because of my cover. The dragon was confused. Every time he circled into view I would loose and arrow and get a hit, but after about a dozen hits (and only 1/4 of his life gone) the dragon knew where I was and down came a rain of fire. I had taken a potion of fire resist, but my health was rapidly draining anyway. I was so eager to get arrows in the air that I almost forgot to drink my health potions, but I got over my fear of burning to death and drank some potions and kept loosing arrows. Luckily I had enough potions and food to keep my health at a manageable level and was able to take the dragon down after several dozen more arrows. Whew!
This video pretty much mirrors the first dragon kill. It's part of a story line quest (as opposed to my second which was a random encounter), so I image a lot of people experienced the same thing.

I had a great spot to launch my attack and I was hard to see because of my cover. The dragon was confused. Every time he circled into view I would loose and arrow and get a hit, but after about a dozen hits (and only 1/4 of his life gone) the dragon knew where I was and down came a rain of fire. I had taken a potion of fire resist, but my health was rapidly draining anyway. I was so eager to get arrows in the air that I almost forgot to drink my health potions, but I got over my fear of burning to death and drank some potions and kept loosing arrows. Luckily I had enough potions and food to keep my health at a manageable level and was able to take the dragon down after several dozen more arrows. Whew!
This video pretty much mirrors the first dragon kill. It's part of a story line quest (as opposed to my second which was a random encounter), so I image a lot of people experienced the same thing.

I just ran across a character in Skyrim with the last name Frey. I think I am going to kill him. Not because it's a bad character--well he is the leader of the thieves guild--but because of the RW in ASoIaF.

Bethesda: Why we turned down A Game of Thrones
George R. R. Martin's best-selling A Song of Fire and Ice is coming to our gaming fingertips real soon now, some gamers are a little surprised that the fantasy series has been translated into – of all things – an RTS, and not, say... a massive, beautiful RPG.
Now, Todd Howard from Bethesda Softworks has revealed that his company actually turned down the opportunity to turn the Game of Thrones series into a video game – and it's all Skyrim's fault.
A story in the upcoming EGMi: The Digital Magazine reveals that Bethesda was approached to make the official games based on the novels years ago – and the company, all "big fans" of the franchise – were thisclose to taking up the challenge.
"With A Song of Ice and Fire, we went 'We want to do that!'," says Howard. "People in our studio liked it, and it seeped in a bit to what we were doing."
But there was one problem – the soon-to-be created Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
"We wanted to do our own world. That's where we wanted to put out time into. Before we were even making Skyrim, there was a conversation with George R.R. Martin's people. They thought it would be a good match—and so did we, actually—but then we thought about if that was where we wanted to spend our time. It was tempting, though."
With Skyrim very nearly in our hot little hands, and the television adaptation A Game of Thrones doing ridiculous things for the success of the novels, we can't help but hope that Bethesda has an opportunity to revisit the proposal. Who else really would do those characters justice? Bioware? You busy?

I find myself making a lot of kill shots to the knee. It is funny when you get into a fight with a really tough bandit boss and he has eight arrows in his head and then take the last shot to his knee and he dies.

Hey Spooky, I know you've moved on to more-fun games (e.g., dating), but just in case:
You may be able to get into the Elder Scrolls Online beta test this weekend. Another friend signed up just a few days ago and got an invitation.
