Switch continues to impress me, when seen as a 3DS successor it's a massive generational leap.

The Skyrim music in this stream is really taking me back, think ill listen to the soundtrack on way home.

Ditto. I'm in a very festive mood today and Skyrim is deffo one of my Christmas games.

I already have the PS4 Pro Version and would love to play this on the go, but have way too many games to play and complete.

He just met Lydia, my current save on X1 has my female hero married to Lydia and we live in white run with a kid.

I didn't know you could marry Lydia. She was always my first follower and as a result, the first to die. Still filled with guilt that I left her naked corpse in that falmer-infested cave.

I thought they couldn't die unless you struck the final blow?

I didn't use followers precisely for that reason, I disliked the immortality.

Well I must be a murderous bastard because I've got through dozens of followers over both versions of the game that I've poured countless hours into

I think once they get to a critical level of health they kneel down and are then ignored by their attackers (who move their focus onto you), but if during this period of kneeling they receive any more damage then they'll die real dead for good. Can easily happen with environmental damage or stray arrows etc.

So what you're saying is Preezy murdered Lydia and then left her naked corpse in a falmer-infested cave. Probably knew they'd eat her too, a convenient way to dispose of the body!

STOP RIGHT THERE, CRIMINAL SCUM!

Yeah I just looked it up, I am wrong. So I'll be playing with followers for the first time on Switch

I thought them dropping to a knee was exactly the same as essential characters dropping to their knee, but it isn't.

Attacking an imperial camp but not being able to kill the captain was the /worst/

I’m unreasonably excited about restarting a game I’ve poured 400+ hours into over three different platforms.

This is absolutely surreal playing handheld, looks and feels fantastic.

Obviously dosent look as good on tv but still pretty good. Still getting over the novelty of Skyrim on a tiny wee cartridge.

Cant wait to properly get stuck in

Text is still a bit on the small side but it's easier to see than Doom text.

Great stuff .

So, has anyone picked this up for PSVR yet? I put 100hrs + in to the 360 version when it first came out, but am incredibly tempted. ResetEra forums seem to be largely positive on it also.

I'm struggling to visualise how mad Skyrim in VR would actually be... finishing it would be a complete non-starter for me though due to limited VR time.

I've picked it up.

Looking forward to delving into it later on tonight/tomorrow. Probably going to stream at least some of it as well I think.

Waiting for my Amazon order to be dispatched still. They've gone out of stock at £42 and now resellers at £52+ are listed. Guess I have to wait for more Amazon first hand stock.

Oh well, I have a hectic weekend anyway so a few more days won't hurt

Enjoy it those of you who have it

Yeah same thing happened to me too, was in stock when I ordered. Cancelled that order and just traded in some games at GAME (Smash Bros 3DS & Wii U, Zelda ALBW and Pokemon X for £65) to get it.

Would like to hear your impressions. My main concerns are how well the move controllers work for moving through menus etc.
