Skyrim gifting question.

Yes.

Just get someone to buy for you...

and let him/her gift it.

You can use it if someone gifts it to you AFAIK.

You can add it to your account and play it without any problem. Not sure about gift from Russia and CIS countries tho but any other should do fine.

Yes, you can install it and play it, but you cant buy DLC for example.

That also applies to DLC's , or its a different story?

as far as i know there is no region lock on skyrim. i am from germany and we are not able to buy dead island. so i contacted a russian trader and he gifted me a copy - works perfectly. i REALLY recommend you to buy the bethesda collection including skyrim, dishonored, fallout 3, fallout new vegas, oblivion, morrowind, doom3 and quake 1-4. the best pack ever in my opinion! but i see you already have skyrim?

Skyrim is not available in my Steam store also but I received a gift last year and activated without any problems.

Thanks everyone!
