Yup.

Now if only they would ditch that skill system and go with exp.
You can't raise smithing or enchantment with out grinding abuse, and if you use a variety of skills you level way too fast.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

I've only just bought Oblivion - Game of the Year Deluxe Edition - for £4.99

Skyrim will have to wait until I can afford to upgrade my PC.

No. You should get Dark Souls and unlease fury and stay away from those boring , talky games for LOTR nerds.

I don't think there's any need to. I'm not sure how or if the different games actually relate to one another. If you can afford it and your computer can run it, you might as well get the latest - they got equally good reviews.

It's on Steam's MIDWEEK MADNESS at 75% off, to get it at that price. Offer ends in 30 hours.

Steam is a lot better than it used to be. I must admit when I first used it for half-life 2 etc. I hated it. Updates preventing me from playing games and shit like that - but I haven't had any problems with it in the last few years. And when people do have problems, there's now a big enough community that they're likely to get it solved fairly quickly. Now it's where I buy the majority of my games.
