Why are you surprised? I just bought Oblivion.

I try to get games I don't play (i.e., all of them) when they drop in price enough. Although I've been on a buying binge lately.

Well for the most obvious reason, it's the newest. If you have the Wiimote and a Bluetooth adapter then I suggest grabbing Dolphin 3.0 and playing the games on PC. Looks so much better.

Thanks a lot for the Dolphin mention. I've heard of it but didn't pay enough attention. I will definitely try it, for two reasons: first, it allows me to free the TV, which is always an issue and one reason I rarely play the Wii. Secondly, I previously bought Metroid: Other M, but my Wii can't play it (it's a known problem with old Wiis and dual layer disks), and hopefully Dolphin will let me play it.

It should. The only way I started playing Twilight Princess is because I made it high res on the PC.

**ET3D** · 11-24-2011, 05:22 PM

I checked it out and it looks like ripping the games is a pain. I'd either have to homebrew my Wii and rip on it (and won't be able to rip Other M) or rip on the PC only if I have a supported drive (which I probably don't). I naively thought it would be easier.

Is this any different from Oblivion? Didn't really like that one

**swmeek** · 12-01-2011, 01:53 AM

Yes and no !
It depends on how you look at it .
The visuals look better to me and there are dragons!!

I was hoping for a bug fix with the recent patch
I still can't complete "the way of the voice quest"

**swmeek** · 12-02-2011, 02:03 AM

I don't see any hint of it having updated in my game .
I played for awhile today and it never showed any sign of it updating.

**James86** · 12-02-2011, 04:12 AM

it was a small update
when you press esc to save it should have the version in the bottom left corner
should be 1.2.21.0 I think

From Bethblog

As of today, it’s been three weeks since we released Skyrim worldwide. We’re simply blown away by the response, from new and old fans, and amazed by the sheer number of people playing the game. It’s been absolutely fantastic hearing your stories, seeing early mods, and watching fan videos (more live music ones please, we love those).

We want to thank everyone reading this for playing our game and supporting all it tries to do. We wouldn’t have this success without you, and we want you to know we’re committed to making your Skyrim experience even better. And not just in the short term, but over the life of the game. Here’s a quick peek at what we’re working on right now:

Creation Kit (PC Only) — Beginning in January, PC players will be able to download the same development tools we used at Bethesda Game Studios to create Skyrim. In tandem with the Creation Kit’s release, we will roll out a new Wiki and videos to help you get started. It also features something we think you’re going to love…

Steam Workshop (PC Only) – We’re excited to share news that we’ve been working closely with Valve to integrate Steam Workshop into the Creation Kit. Using the Workshop, you’ll have free user content with the push of a button. The Creation Kit will bundle your mod and upload it to the Workshop, where everyone can browse, rate, and flag mods for download. You’ll be able to do this from any web device, including your smartphone. Like a live Netflix queue, when you fire up Skyrim, mods you flagged will be automatically downloaded and installed. Everyone here is really excited about the opportunities and possibilities this opens up for our entire community.

Prefer to use existing modding sites? Not a problem. You’ll still be able to upload/share/access Skyrim mods on fan-created mod sites.

Continued Game Updates – This week we released update 1.2 across all platforms, and we’ll be releasing an incremental update next week. We anticipate it will be up on PC first, and then hit PS3 and Xbox 360 later in the week. Among other things, the update will fix issues like magic resistance not calculating properly and the rare, amazing backwards flying dragon. Once the update is released, we’ll share the full release notes.

After the holidays, we’ll continue to release regular updates for the game — through full title updates, as well as incremental “gameplay updates” to fix whatever issues come up along with rebalancing portions of the game for difficulty or exploits. We plan on having a lot of these, not just a few. Overall, you should expect updates to be hitting the PC and Steam earlier and more often, as that’s a process we control. Console updates will follow, as they must be certified and processed by those manufacturers.

We all know this is a huge game, and everyone has a different experience. We’ll continue to do everything we can to make the game better and better for as many people as possible every day. We’ve also realized that with the millions upon millions of people playing Skyrim, we need to treat our updates with greater care. If we get too aggressive trying to fix a minor issue, we run a risk of breaking something larger in a game like this. To be safe, we are prioritizing code side fixes right now over data fixes. Quest and balance issues are usually data, and those will start rolling in a large way with the January updates.

Thanks again for your continued support and patience. We truly have the best fans in the world, and we couldn’t do it without you.

Looks like I have to wait till Jan for a quest fix

Why not?

It may have auto-updated the game while I was sleeping or before I got home from work.
On another note if they started releasing dlc packs what would you like to see in one ?
I would like to see the dwarves return to Skyrim and start wreaking havoc or whatnot!

They are extinct, so I don't see how that would be possible.

If Bethesda went to DLC for TES series, I'd be pretty pissed. On that note, it would be cool for the modders to add in Cyrodil and Vvanderfell and remove the borders of Skyrim to have all 3 to explore.

**swmeek** · 12-03-2011, 03:57 AM

I've already heard of a borders removal mod somewhere.
Yeah but still would be cool if some way or another they came back.
And I think I recall them already talking DLC for Skyrim.
