    Has anyone seen this?

    I just looked at some of the screenshots and it looks really cool. I've been longing for a good Single Player Story Driven RPG.....

    Just wanted to mention that I actually bought this game recently but I took it back though so never installed it 😉

    Read a lot about it and the one guy at CompUSA, that I am trying to get him to play BF2 with us, is addicted to this game. It is supposed to be HUGE. It is single player only and is not a network game just FYI. The map is something like 16 square miles so that is rather large. Not as large as other Elder versions but still large. Hell to me that is HUGE!!

    He said it takes months and months to play it even at 10 hours a day. You can stick with the main mission but can also head off and do whatever you want extending it to a very long time..

    I really do not have the time for this type of game but think it sounds really really cool.

    This game also is the most graphic intensive game for the PC at the moment. It will tax your video card to the absolute max!!

    My husband is kind of playing it right now. We got it when it came out. The min. specs lie - you need at least a ram of memory to make the game playable (I'm sure ya all have that here though). He's running 9700Pro card right now and it won't support full shading, but what he does have is simply beautiful. If you have played any of the other Elderscrolls games you won't be disappointed. We have even started the game up just to watch the sunset/moon rise.

    The npc's all have real lives, you can stalk them. They wake up, get ready for work and head out - hang at the shop for 8 hours, have evening convos with friends - the whole enchilida. Its a very well thought out game. There is even an expansion pack out for it already!

    If you have the time and a significat other that understands she has to say goodbye to you for a few months I highly recommend the game. I am however just a spectator of the game and not actually playing it myself - I have other gaming addictions to attend to at the moment.
