wow, cracked already. looks like the group Razer managed to make a working release from the Steam pre-download files. i wonder how long Steam will continue to offer downloading in advance if this keeps happening

works for me though, i was hesitant to buy this since i didn't like Oblivion at all

Can you use the crack on the actual preloaded Steam content?

no, it's a full release that they used the steam content to create. i'm pretty sure any crack that enabled you to unlock a game early in Steam would get you banned real quick

Less than an hour in and I've already had it crash. Typical Bethesda. It does look amazing though.

Having never played the earlier Elder Scrolls games, what's the combat like in actual use? From the videos, it looks like it's just click-swing, click-shoot, and or click-spell for either hand, without much strategy or depth.

Was this during the golden claw quest? It crashed on me in a cave near a waterfall. I wasn't sure if this was because it was the razer release or my laptop. I read a few people having the same issue and this sealed my decison to stay with the xbox version. And this video helped also (Xbox video)

Steam says "this game will unlock in approx 2 hours", so yes

I think I committed the Cardinal sin of PC gaming; I didn't have the latest video card drivers installed. I updated and haven't had a problem since.

Game is live, decrypting now. If it's anything like the Portal 2 release decrypting could take a while.

I have the day off work tomorrow. Thinking I may just hit the sack now, and get an early start in the morning.

Reviews have said that most crashes are later in the game. It is really polished to start.
