Don't be dissapointed, the map was announced by Bethesda to only be available in pre-orders and the collector's edition.

Technically after pre-orders have finished there won't be any way to get the map other than the collector's edition (although I'm sure that shops will be giving them out after pre-orders have finished)

Just so you know, Dual wielding = max damage output but no blocking as far as I've noticed. Not that matter with my home made steel armor.

Also, crafting is in BIG TIME. You can make all types of armor and weapon now. Items like hides can be turned into leather at a tannery. Ore can be smelted into ingots etc. etc.

For an Iron helm for instance, you need 3 iron ingots and 5 leather scraps(or is it straps?) Stuff like that. Smithing perks give you acces to new materials (steel to dragon) and one perk lets you upgrade magic items.

You can sharpen weapons on grindstones, and hammer armors into better shape on workbenches to increase armor rating.

Have not tangoed with alchemy or enchanting yet.

It's been a long five year wait. Oblivion came out during my last year of undergrad. I remember telling my friend, can you imagine how different our lives will be by the time we play the next Elder Scrolls game? Five years have passed and I went to law school, moved into my own place, got married ... I'll probably have kids by the time Elder Scrolls 6 comes along. But, in the meantime, wonderful, awesome, incredible Skyrim awaits ...

I can hardly believe I'll be playing Skyrim this Friday.

I am really trying to figure out if I should just say damn the torpedos and get Skyrim this week. Saints Row, is tempting, but I really think I'll be more interesting in playing Skyrim, especially with a few days of twiddling my thumbs coming up.

360, and please refrain from calling it Illegal would you? I bought 100% legal from a store. Can't help they started selling without the greenlight.

Well my resolve melted quicker than a ice statue in the arizona desert, and its been ordered.

I made the tragic error of listening to that theme above, and then watching the trailer one more time before making my decesion.

So only thing left to ponder is what I start as.. hmm.. to the other thread!

There are some rumors going around my school (and I'm sure other places as well) as to whether or not you can ride dragons in Skyrim. If you can, I will totally fly as high as I can over a settlement, jump off, and snipe someone as I fall to my death.

If they have dragon riding, then it will be easy to swap the models out.

I shall fly on the back of Gwaihir, the Windlord, the greatest of the eagles of the Misty Mountains.

It will be glorious.

There are some who walk until their legs fail them and they fall to the ground. I find that respectable.
Then there are those who drag themselves further. I find that admirable.

And then you will jump off and snipe someone fatally. Or is that just me.

No. I will deliver the ring to Mordor.

Or jump off and fatally plunge my shortswords into the back of a dragon.

That would be amazing.

Crime system so far is better, if you have high rep with a town they will even ignore small offenses. Just don't kill chickens in front of people.

Leveling works kind of the same as in, you lvl up skills to gain a level. But instead of stats you just choose between increasing: magicka, health or stamina(which also adds max weight. And you get 1 perk per level. Consult your wiki for all the perks
