I just got a new 360 and I'm planning on jumping into Elder Scrolls for my first game. The thing of it is that I have zero desire to get on Xbox live for any reason at all, least of which are the horror stories I've heard about mandatory updates bricking consoles. yeah, I know I'm probably missing something, but I've played videogames for 20+ years offline and "that's the way we liked it" Anyway, I just wondered what the deal is with the patches they're offering for this game.
