The actual first 20mins or so of the game.

Must, resist. Oh, nevermind. It's been taken down anyway :P

This is one thing I will refrain from watching. I'll save it for 11/11/11.

Part 1 (new upload)

Part 2 (new upload)

No comment, that was a much needed watch. I would resist if i was you guys. Hope there will be more videos soon.

Must, resist! Why do you do this to me!

Awesome. The game looks great. But now after watching this..... The wait for Skyrim feels even worse..

How ya holding up resisters?

Not well.

AWESOME!! Thank you SO much for the wicked post/links.......sooooooo freaking excited!!

just watched it with audio. my god that is some poor voice acting, but i guess it's par for the course when you play a bethesda game

My resistance is holding up well so far.  For any other resisters, this guy's blog post may help renew your strength.  :-)  http://theskyrimblog.ning.com/profiles/blogs/you-never-get-a-second-chance-to-make-a-first-impression  (PS - he does a very nice job on his blog. I enjoyed reading it these past months.)

That was a good read. And for the most part agree too.... But IMO watchig the beginning and actually experienceing the beginning are 2 different feeling for me. So watching a video doesn't spoil the " first impression" part of it.

If poor voice acting is all that you guys found wrong with it then I'm feeling a little more optimistic.

Thanks for that Jeff! There is one part that I would liek to see though. Can someone tell me the time when the Character Creator starts and stops? That Kajiit one doesn't do it for me.

Video Part 1.

4:30 to 7:20

Thanks! I have to be very careful to not see any more than this though!

lol. I just can't help Myself.

I'm actually really annoying the wife and kids by constantly talking about the game now.

Well, I kinda failed. I heard half a sentence :( Oh well. It didn't make any sense to me anyway lol

.

I really liked the character creator though! Even though he didn't change facial features, his character looked way different when he was done. Looking forward to that!

I failed. I couldnt resist. Rachel.......you've won the bet. I lose. I guess I will buying two versions of Skyrim.

no, there's quite a bit more that i found "wrong" with it, the va was just really bad and i only just heard it after my second or fourth viewing. 

There were a few other things that I disliked about the video as far as gameplay. I will keep these comments to myself. There not gamebreaking, jus caught my attention.

I'm really tempted to watch it, but I will stay strong!

You cannot resist the dark side... We have cookies!

Yeah, but the light side has cake......

What kind of cake?

Chocolate ice cream, the best kind.

Minor Spoiler:

What I did like with the finishing moves was that the action was still going on while the finishing move was being performed (arrow flying into scene from another enemy). It wasn't just a canned cut scene.

As far as the gameplay,  The player wouldn't enage in melee combat in the traditional sense and tried to run around to the backs of the enemy. That's what I thought anyway.

Very true Bird. There is an assassin picture out of an assassin finisher from behind that looked amazing. So that was really a plus ( not being a "canned cut scene" ) Also, the game was only starting. Basically i just want to reiterate, You are what you play. With so many play styles available, and this video was this guy and his character. My play thru would not have looked anything like it. I honestly think if i was playing i would not have experienced any of the "issues" that i mentioned before.

.

* Note, I had no game ending bugs in new vegas. ( truthfully only experienced 1 glitch where i had to load the game file again, the whole game )

True melee alone is impossible actually in this game. Mainly due to Dragons.  I can't wait to use the bow, dual wields (especially shields :D), and Dragon shouts. I might start with that Axe though, with my fire spell....

SO MANY CHOICES!!!  @.@
