Yeah, right. Any Bethesda game is not a high mark to compare against though!

    Because they want to move pre-orders. The whole 45 minute direct was a massive ad campaign to get people to start buying it from now. And it’s working, right now it’s the #1 seller on Steam.

      It’s working its pull on me. I am desperately arguing with myself here. Like, i know i will buy it week 1 in ANY CASE. So why not pre-order? Just this once.

        Don’t do it mate, the game could be broken on release. Wait for reviews at least, it’s not like the game will be in limited supply.

            Pre-ordering doesn’t allow you to play it sooner (in any reasonable meaning of that). You can still purchase it as soon as it’s out. It’s not limited. All that pre-ordering does is takes the money out of your wallet and puts it in theirs while you wait.

            Maybe pre-ordering you can pre-load, but that’s not that significant usually, if it even pre-loads at all and isn’t just dummy data.
