Re: Elder Scrolls V

All i have to say is WOW!
This game is what have been waiting for , for years.
This ad a new Hitman will make me sooooooooooo! happy.
I hope it looks as good as those pics , also with Graphics like this , i imagine on the xbox 360 it will be on at least 3 discs , so i may get it for the PS3.
Also the main problems on Oblivion for me were , they way castle's and ruin's appeared , they just appeared in front of you also some big rocks done this.
Also when blasting through the woods on a horse the loading would freeze , although this is fixed to an extent now i would like it not at all.
Also the charatcer faces were pretty much the same and the necks were terrible.
I also would like manequins so i can put suits or armour i collect on them , instead of them being put away in a cupboard , like one for the glass armour set , one for ebony and so on.
The same with shelves for books and display cases for rare objects.
As i loved collecting weapons on oblivion and every house was full of them.
I hope they do a nice special edition , better than the Oblivion one with the Septim coin which i still have.

I can't wait , as i have done 160 on Oblivion without completing the main quest or stepping foot into shivering isles.

Also storage bags on your horse , so when i have looted a cave i don't have to fast travel back and forth to get my loot.
And last but not least the mountain lions , bears and other wild animals that took 50 flaming arrows to kill them , but they swipe you once and remove all of your health.

Re: Elder Scrolls V

I picked up Oblivion earlier this month, and finally finished it today.[Had to get the training wheels off for this one] Awesome.

Gonna crack some skulls with a big Nord sob in Skyrim.
 
Re: Elder Scrolls V

From a poster in the Bethesda forums:
Just picked up the latest OPSM which came out the other day and they've got a nice 12 page preview of the game complete with an interview with Todd Howard and lead designer Bruce Neswith.

I'm still reading through it and I'll update this post with more info after I'm done but I'm on the second page now and they've thus far delved a bit more into combat and spells; including something described as magnetism meaning our attacks will be slightly attracted to enemies so as to avoid 'friendly fire' in the bigger fights, they've spoken a little bit on dungeons and its enemies and puzzles and a little bit on spells. I'll arrange the major points in a summary here soon so this is just a heads up.

Edit with the info:
-'Magnetism' in your attacks draws them more towards enemies rather than allies so as there is no 'friendly fire' in bigger battles.
-Taverns will play a large role in getting information, gossip and rumours from a town as it's naturally where most people go after working and you can listen to peoples conversation and learn more about the town and/or skyrim itseld - it's a lot more natural.
-Quest givers won't be so specific, an example given is say in Oblivion a QG would say you'd be paid 200 gold for doing something, they've tried to make it more natural so the QG would say something more along the lines if 'I'd happily pay if you could do this for me'. (Maybe your payment is dependant on how well you pull off the task?)
-There will be some enchanted weapons which don't tell you what they do - so you'll know it's magical in some way but you won't know how exactly, you'd have to find out yourself - (this would most likely apply to the things you find in dungeons, ie people wouldn't know about it so the PC wouldn't either untill it's used)
-People will be more vague or specific when talking to you or giving you quests depending on how much they like you.
-If you are using a two handed weapon then you use Left Trigger to block and Right trigger to attack, however if you have a one handed weapon in one hand and a spell in the other, you won't be able to block - left trigger will then be a spell and right will be attack - it is done to make you play more stratigically - be more offensive, defensive, magic based etc.
-They mention some new spells such as one which acts as a shield against magic
-They talk about dungeons; one in specific which they go to on a quest called 'Bleak Falls Barrow' - it is inhabited mainly by the Draugr (the undead guys in the screenshots we've seen), a 'ghostly dragon priest' who bursts out of a sarcophagus to attack and startle the player and the 'boss' of the dungeon - a giant 'Frostbite Spider'. They said that they were proceeding through the dungeon when it dropped down from the ceiling where it was hiding, it was said to be terrifying.
-A rune that you can throw down and it fires out shards of ice, similar to the flamethrower one we've heard about.
-They describe a finishing move they perform on a bandit - they 'plunge the sword into his chest' and the bandit can be heard gurgling his blood as he dies.
-Outside of quests you can perform; Woodcutting, Cooking, Mining and metalwork
-They mention some of the 18 skills although I don't know if they're being specific or general (ie they could be grouping a few skills into one, and these are probably not the names of them): Combat, Magic, Stealth, Conversationalist.
-They mention a Dragon Shout that acts as a sort of 'Bullet Time'.
-Riverwood is described as 'A smattering of timber buildings, including a sawmill'
-They get the quest to go to Bleak Falls Barrow from a shopkeeper called Lucan who has had his antique golden dragon claw stolen and wants you to retrieve it.
-Radiant Story is in part inspired by the random encounters in Fallout 3.
-The game apparently looks amazing in motion, with great environment effects such as the wind making the water swirl and make waves.
-Some Dragon Shouts are found in dungeons.
-It is possible to raise all skills to 100 but not possible to get all perks.
-The King of Skyrim is dead, which has sparked the Civil War.
-Dragon Encounters aren't scripted and they will 'Merrily ravage towns without warning'/
-NPC's are said to be improved, having proper jobs and routines now and some will even take out a vendetta on you and will come to find you if you killed a loved one or relative for example.
-The regions are said to be extremely varied, Markarth Side is entirely within a stone wall with no buildings whatsoever poking out of the surface.
-Haarfingar is said to be home to the largest trading port in Skyrim.
-They mention breaking and entering to find out more about people, but I'm not sure as to what extent - "Because of the open world set up you can even progress by snooping around - following people, looking out for strange behaviour and even some light breaking and entering".
