I have it preordered, and just tried phoning the game shop to ask if I could pick it up tonight as I cant make it to the collection tomorrow (a lie) but they werent having it. Dangnamit.
I was trading in some games a while back when I preordered it, and the staff informed me that if preordering the collectors edition, I would get an extra 15% value on the games I was getting rid of. Ended up not having to spend that much to make up the difference, so I thought why the hell not?
Then I saw the collectors edition online, and while nifty, I have no idea how im going to explain to my fiance that I own a 12" tall plastic dragon. The box is HUMONGOUS. I was expecting some artwork, maybe a little figure or something to geek up my workspace. But nope. A huge dragon which breathes infernal geek shame.
Finishing work tomorrow cant come soon enough!

You do create your own adventure as you play. So far I've racked up 72 hours play time and I can't say that I'm bored of it at all.
As usual with the Elder Scrolls games, you start off as a nameless, faceless character which you then create yourself during the exposition.
My story goes thus far:
I started in Helgen, a nordic stronghold in almost the centre of the map (which is 16 sqaure miles of terrain to travel).
I got attacked by a dragon, escaped, someone thanked me and said I must join the fight. I said 'sod that' and I've been jounreying around ever since ignoring all the main quests of the game.
That's 72 hours, not actually playing the game for the story at all but creating my own as I went.
It's utterly compelling. There's so many diverse stories to be found in the world of Skyrim that you never regret getting lost at all. One such example was a lonesome man in a village who tasked me with the quest to find the dog outside of town because, 'It was a loyal dog and I admire him how he's been sitting outside of town', and so began the quest for the dog. Sure enough, I found him outside of the town sitting down quietly. I went up to the mutt who then decided to speak and promptly tell me he's a messenger for a Daedric god (a demon). I then follow him to his master who explains he split his demon being between the dog and himself and if I ever wanted unparalleled power I must go and find a magical axe. After an hour or two of killing and searching treasures chests I ultimately come to the axe, guarded by Mr. Badass. A few re-loads later, I'm on my way back to the Daedric god proudly waving the axe at anyone coming close enough - lions, bandits and bears (oh my). Upon my return, he tells me to kill the dog and I will be granted ultimate power. Now, I'm now head of the Assassins guild after many deaths, I've stolen and pick pocketed from countless people, bribed guards, fought dragons and won but there was no way I was KILLING THE MUTT!!!! So I struck a deal with the dog, gave the axe back, the dog melded with the statue and I went on my merry way.
So the man didn't get his dog, I didn't get my axe but it was the journey that counted.
