There are some who walk until their legs fail them and they fall to the ground. I find that respectable.

Game rocks been playing non stop for 10 hours. I will say this having logged many hours playing morrowind/oblivion, the game feels very similar. Horses still blo, tho.

Every Dakkanaught gets a 4+ Pinch of Salt save.
When you suffer a Falling Sky hit, roll a D6 - on a 4+ the hit is ignored as per the Pinch of Salt save. On a 1-3 panic insues - you automatically fail common sense tests for the next 2 weeks and get +7 to your negativity stat. -Praxiss

I don't know, I haven't joined it, just heard about it. They're dicks, they already tried to tell me I was in a restricted area in the middle of the woods and that I had to pay a 100 fine (it was very heavily implied that they were being corrupt).

Well mine was dispatched yesterday, so after waking with some mild toothache (had a filling two days ago and I think I was grinding my teeth last night, so aggrivated it.) I am sitting her expectantly, hoping the postie will bring me a lovely little console game shaped box.

Wish I didn't have to work all weekend - I'm having a blast with the game. I love the killing animations you sometimes get in melee, and being a werewolf is just amazing.
Played for 4 hours straight when it decrypted on Steam at 11 PM. Still haven't come close to the main storyline.

Are you guys that have it for consoles (specifically ps3) having any problems with temporary freezing, sound delays or anything like that? I want to play this game, but my experience with Bethesda games is that they don't run smoothly in the open world. I've had this sort of thing playing morrowind on PC, Oblivion on Xbox and Fallout 3 on PS3. Have they done any optimisation this time around?

Does Prime use posties to deliver it, or does it use the parcel service that drives up to your door? If the latter, i'd give it some more time since it probably has to make a LOT of rounds.

I have it for Xbox and it does freeze up a good amount in the menus. Only for a few seconds, but it does. Sorry, can't speak for the PS3.

Work is killing me today, I stayed up late to start the DL off Steam, expecting it to take all night and a little of the day to DL.
Woke up, and checked the man cave before my shower and saw it was done and waiting.
Checked to see if I was sick, and I wasn't.... CRAP! The work day has never taken so long. And though it is heresy, I am supposed to play 40k tonight, but I think the nids are going to have to take a week off...

You know what they say about Bethesda games right? That the only way to be sure they work is to reach the 50% mark for game completion in order to allow the game to warm up enough that glitches may start.
If the Imperial Legion is corrupt then I'm all over it. I want to be the corrupt officer this time, making people pay fines for not speaking Imperial dialect or for being Khajiit...
