When you get Skyrim...

[Frogmander]

I just hope that I experience that feeling I got the first time I ever inserted Oblivion into my console.

I got through the dungeon after a few tries and even though my character was probably horribly created, exited the sewers for the first time.

Thats when I fell in love, for I honestly felt like I was dropped into a completely other world. I love how I didnt know the land, and wandered around like a complete foreigner.

Thats the idea I hope the game isnt unbalanced in damage, and isnt to easy

[Unionhack]

I'm gonna check out the Radiant AI first of all by dropping a sword in the middle of town. XD

[sidheag]

I'll most likely make an adorable white Khajiit. Because recently I've been obsessing about how damn fluffy they are.

But I wont, because when I see the pure awesome of Skyrim's character creation I'll postpone the fluffy, get freaked out when I see the Argonians and roll an Imperial. Do the tutorial quest, wander around trying to find a city. I'll join the Companions ASAP, do that questline, get sick of fighting stuff and wander around talking to people. Then maybe the DB, then I'll eventually get to the Main Questline.

[HatofMadness]

I never thought of it, but a white Khajiit would be awesome...obviously like a White Tiger

5 years of oblivion, jeez.

[Chaos the N'wah]

Such dark times, A NEW AGE IS UPON US!

I mean more on topic stuff...

Agreed! I was blown away when I saw that one journalist's white Khajiit. The Argonians look great, too. I'll probably play a red one at some point.

As for me, the first thing I'll do is probably spend a good hour getting my Nord right in the Character Creation. After this, I'll work on getting pair of matching war axes, an iron helm (the one with the horns), and some greaves (forget the cuirass, he won't need it).

I've just realized that I may not be able to do the greaves without the cuirass. Eh, I'll find a way.

[psychicfiredemoness]

I am going to find a city/town, find a house, and steal everything I can. Then repeat.

[Unionhack]

I'll make a Redguard, make him steal something and try to run away even though his athletics skill is super low.
He'll also hold his bow sideways because he thinks it makes him look cool.

In all seriousness though, I want to test out the Radiant AI so bad. I wanna make villagers kill eachother over a potato >:D

[Harald_Drake-Eyes]

I shall nerdgasm to the beautifully re-worked graphics and peoples. Then do something productive, like stalk a potential mate.

[b3rgx]

Lol, is it me, or is life SO good right now. i could lose a leg, and still be happy.

Bethesda, i really love you.

[Lynx2069]

Eat everything I can find!

[Rhcpftw]

Do the main quest, find out about the other guilds as I progress, find Chain Lightning.

[Fathis]

Get to Riverwood and listen to the rumours, ask questions. I'll find nice equipment and raid a dungeon or two to gain levels and perks. Then start the main quest.

Eh, I have a feeling they probably improved it. At least, I hope they did. They had more than enough time...

[dubq]

Hmm, I think since Riverwood seemed to be the first place everyone went to during the previews, I'm probably going to avoid it for a bit. Maybe head as far north as I can, to see some snow. Perhaps I can kill some bandits and loot their Skyrim Snowboards and have some fun on the slopes? Probably not, but a Nord can dream, can't he?

[Avron the S'wit]

When I get Skyrim, I am going to do only one thing, and the most important thing: play the game and enjoy my experience. Honestly. I can't even begin to imagine what I will do when I first step into the daylight of Skyrim, because, naturally, I haven't gotten there yet. To me the game isn't so much about planning as it is about making a character, getting inside his head, and just letting him react in his environment. Call me old fashioned, but to me that's the best way to enjoy a game.

And that's what you'll all hear about come (OMIGOD IT'S ALMOST HERE) Friday.

[Unionhack]

I think I'm gonna invent 'potato dropping' and make it a total national sport.

[Chaos the N'wah]

Run to the nearest river, walk along it until I find a large beast or npc, kill them, invent surfing in Nirn.

No seriously, my first 'must do' is head for the ocean, I want to see what it looks like...

[exoclipse]

I've taken 4 days off of work to play this game, so...I plan on spending a very long time exploring the new stuff, especially crafting and the NPC economy with my Orc scout. I want to give a mountain a good climb and see what the game world looks like from the top of a mountain, even if I get horribly murdered by the creatures up there. Be a good way to build sneak, for sure.

[Sav]

Complete the tutorial.
In all seriousness though, i'm going to create an Imperial and explore, and do a few minor quests. I seriously want to go to the fall forest area badly.

[I_am_one]

Go out and kill stuff, and steal bandit armor. I'll probably sell wolf hides and rat meat for money, and raid bandit dungeons for a nice shield and sword.

[Imperfect Three]

I'll be finishing the running around trying not to die and having difficulty with the new combat system. My friend will be with me to laugh at my struggle to get used to the game. After the tutorial I'll probably be exploring for a few hours before I try smithing, Three more days!

[ParanoidAndroid]

Just got the game for PC with some extras. It's already sold in some european countries.
Some boxart here: https://www.file1.info/album/YNRYNJS

It can't be installed or activated yet on the PC because it requires steam. Xbox users can already play the game

[Shady Sam]

probably gonna play...
