Those links...look suspicious. Why is there a dot between the u and b? <_< Or am I just out of the loop?

You are out of the loop. Those are You Tube's new shortened URLs.

It's more of the same walk around do nothing for ages thing? I haven't watched all the vids yet but the first one is not giving me a good first impression. Although combining spells is kinda cool. <.<
I gotta say I looooooved that "point and click and warp there" feature in Oblivion because, dear christ, the traveling is exactly why I'll never play Morrowind again. You can walk for an hour and find and fight *nothing.* Argh! XD And video shows exactly that! XD ...though once you find a monster...well the combat doesn't help it but I can tolerate it. Oblivion's combat is much improved but still murder on my back, I gotta figure out how to make the controller work. It vaguely teased the idea of warping but they didn't really do it. I kinda like where they're going with skill trees. And they still haven't really embraced the idea of 3rd person yet. Oh sure you can do it, but you can't do anything precisely in it so don't bother. But that dragon fight at the end? Yeah that's exactly why you can't have action sequences in first person games, at least not without a lock on. You can't see behind you, so you can't dodge or hide properly, so you take unnecessary hits. It reminds me of Doom. Sure you can run backward but you're still gonna hit that wall and you're still gonna get slaughtered.
I think my biggest problem is that I'm not a fan of PC games. I don't have a steady hand, so it's really hard for me to use the mouse to move around and aim and my hands cramp up so the fact that Oblivion and presumably Skyrim let you use controllers is gonna be a big help once I can figure it out. Though I may just bite the bullet it and buy it for console anyway, but I gotta wait for reviews and see if the console ports can handle it. Morrowind didn't work well on Xbox.
Hey still reserving judgment but if it keeps the clear quest goals and point and click warping, I'm already leaning towards it.
EDIT And they better damn well downplay the Personality/Speechcraft thing again like in Oblivion. <_<

The other two videos are more exciting, the second video shows a dungeon crawl, stealth maneuvers, and the progression of a quest. Plus, the straight up MURDER of a dark elf, which I loved. Grabs him by the arm as he flees, and stabs him in the back. Awesome. Third video shows fights with dragons, which are pretty epic. He can summon a thunderstorm, and in a very Dragon Age flair, using sort of a finishing move on a dragon. Mounts it, jumps up and slams an axe into it's skull. Very very much like Dragon Age. I see some Tomb Raider: Underworld and Dragon Age type things in this game, which I'm looking forward too. I don't think I've ever been so excited about a game, as I am about this one.

After listening to endless stories about this game from steph, I broke down and bought it for PS3. LOVE IT! it has provided endless hours of fun, dungeon crawling, story line, expanded questing, involvement with pushing the story line...
I really thought I would end up disliking this game as I didnt care much for oblivion, but so far this one has delivered.

isnt that funny how we go on kicks? Right now I just cant stand FFXI. I LOVE that game, but needed to break from it. I felt pushed, prodded and dragged from place to place to do things I wasnt sure I wanted done yet. I dont like it when others try to force me to play their game or their way. yes, im slow! yes, im way behind, yes I have a lot of ground to cover, but ...who cares?! its MY game, let me be happy in it. So, I took a break. I will go back in a bit, just not now. I am enjoying other games. its been so fun to crack open a new game. I forgot how much excitement comes from dungeon or cave crawling. I got married to a bit nord chick. She was a weakling when I met her, but crying about how tough she is (just like a dyke) and I dragged her out, leveled her up and now she is kick ass! I married her and she ran off for home! WTH? ! So, I grabbed my trusty dark elf that I had previously trained up and off we went. let the little missy sit at home and wonder where I am. I feel a bit burnt that I trained her and the minute she marries me she runs off to sit at home and eat bon bons? BITCH!

OMGLOL. ;D
I pegged Lydia as a butch the second I met her. But as all marriage candidates, she swings both ways.
I need to get back to the game, and my beloved Argis. Eventually.

I just downloaded the Dragonborn update for my PC. I have had it on Xbox for a while, but was more excited to see it on PC. Finally they have a few updates for PS3 players as well.
I love this silly game. I can pause and walk away or do one quest and be done for the night. with FFXI or MMORPGs you simply cannot take your eyes off the screen.
Loving the ability to explore the new area.

Let me give you a tip before you get too far in Dragonborn. Make sure you have at least three dragon souls before you learn who the baddie is. He steals souls from you when you kill dragons occasionally, and some people have reported he steals every single one, which will prevent you from completing the storyline. This did not happen to me, but I had like 40 souls, so, moot point.

I still have not played much of Skyrim. I have it for PS3 but I have a brand new computer I spent 4 grand on so I might buy it off of Steam instead.

very good idea. the pc version is superior! less glitchy, patch mods, and of course user mods.
