I know i'm late to the party, but I am loving Skyrim!

Yeah, I am late. But I picked up Skyrim for the 360 last night and I am loving it. Played 6 straight hours so far and was gonna call in sick to play some more. Was torn between the 360 version and the PC version but opted for the 360 as my couch is more comfy than my pc area. Anyway, quick question, is there not a built in map system in the game? That would be awesome.

call in sick to play more? wow

Lol, dude I've done this so much it isn't even funny. Welcome to the modern age: where people actually enjoy doing other shit besides working their life away!

OP, there is a map in the game. Press B then hit down on the joystick or D-pad.

It will wear off once the formula is obvious.

1. Get mission from random stranger.
2. Go to cave to kill someone or get something.
3. Return to person and get lame reward.
4. Repeat for 200 hours.

is it worth playing if you refuse to go anywhere near WoW and tried oblivion but couldn't get into it at all?

if you love it so much you should post in the official skyrim thread instead of creating a new one.

The creators of skyrim thought it would be more engaging if each player devote the few shreads of your remaining free time to hand draw all over you parents basement the map of the entire skyrim realm. So no there is no map system in game.

Name your favorite game in the entire world and I guarantee I can break it down like that, too.

My only regret not getting the PC version are the damn load times on the 360. Certain quest lines require zoning in/out of multiple doors just to hand-in quests and wow, what a pain in the ass.

Except for the button that says "Map"...?

Yes. I cant get into WoW and never finished playing Oblivion because it got to daunting for me at times.

Don't forget the awesome combat! Attack, lose HP, drink potion, attack, lose HP, drink potion. Dodge attacks or use any sort of strategy? nah this is skyrim!

Got 8 hours in before I stopped, repetitive quests, terrible story and voice acting, terrible combat.

I guess video games just aren't for you.
