Melodia Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Maybe we should start a topic where we post the newest info about Skyrim that we can find. I'll start, I think this is new because of the date but I apologize if this is an older video...Interview with Todd Howard for a German? website. http://www.spikednation.com/evideo/elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-interview-todd-howard Some things mentioned in this video that I didn't know- There are lots of puzzles "More than we've done before." The traps have taken a huge step forward. Hopefully they are more deadly now. Current count of dungeons - 110 unique ones!! Giants will have mammoths with them..I'm guessing the mammoths will be big too There will be loading into towns, like Oblivion Some creatures are more important than others, they spent more time on them..and not just the dragons Link to comment
weirdtexan Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Great idea, Melodia. And thanks for the link; hadn't heard any of this info. Mammoths...hell yes! Edit: Found a small tidbit about how there won't be a limited number of dragons in the game, for those worried about running out of fire breathing death bringers. http://www.joystiq.com/2011/05/19/well-at-least-we-wont-run-out-of-dragons-in-skyrim/ Link to comment
Hitman69 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Surprised that no-one dropped the wiki-bomb yet. It even got a fancy countdown-timer. And, I don't know if any of you guys knew this already, but Skyrim will include children. (I didn't, but then again, I didn't care for the game much before, either). Link to comment

weirdtexan Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Just finished watching the video. I said "holy shit!" no less than a half dozen times. Seriously, even for an elder scrolls game, i'm really, really impressed. Link to comment
sora3 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Also, it seems that the Creation Kit is similar to the Construction Set according to Todd Howard. So that means it might be easy to convert Oblivion stuff into Skyrim... Link to comment
TheoryoftheDead Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I almost had an orgasm when he displayed how you could use any hand for casting a spell - and dual hand casting for more powerful spells(I've been a mage player ever since I started playing Rpgs. Hate me if you must!) Also - Dual wield Link to comment
weirdtexan Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Here's 13 minutes of Skyrim gameplay. Some of it is from the previous video posted by UNREAL, but there's plenty of new stuff too. http://kotaku.com/5809807/nothing-but-thirteen-minutes-of-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-gameplay Damn I miss X-Play.

Siouliusn Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Taking the dual wielding in account in vanilla game *___* This really looks promising. (rofl for the bullet time) Link to comment
Hitman69 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 The Nexus gave us an interesting bit of data, today: it might be possible for romance/friendship type of relationships to make it into the game. It originally came from this (german) article (page 3 of it): http://www.giga.de/top-themen/00152378-the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-vorschau-episch-neu-definiert/ Note that I stated that it might be in there, as the article only states they're planning on it, and it hasn't been confirmed by Bethesda itself, yet. Edit: Holy shit, I just realized something. They already confirmed children before. Combined with this... That could mean that getting children might be an option, too. (and if not, modding the game to do so would be a lot easier, methinks, with children already included. ;D ) Link to comment
Jexsam Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Also' date=' it seems that the Creation Kit is similar to the Construction Set according to Todd Howard. So that means it might be easy to convert Oblivion stuff into Skyrim... [/quote'] Please God no. Conversion already ruined any armor and clothing related originality in Fallouts 3 and NV, I pray to whatever deity will listen that that won't be possible for Skyrim. Or at the very least, let it be difficult to do. We need originality, not port after port after port after port after port after port... Link to comment
Siouliusn Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Porting the bestof of the TES4 mods wouldn't be a bad thing. Seeing Bethesda porting all the TES4 stuff into Skyrim, THAT would be bad xD. Link to comment
sora3 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 When I posted that, that was one of the vague things Todd discussed. But I do think the Creation Kit will be a lot different but those that are used to CS will probably find it similar or familiar to it? Link to comment
Hitman69 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 This just in: Mod tools... FOR THE CONSOLE. I don't know what to think of it... Yet. We'll just have to wait and see. Link to comment

HanPL Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Well I just read CD-Action (game magazine in Poland ) and reactions from Skyrim E3 presentation *Graphics is not so good as on screens or on trailers its more like enchanted Fallout engine or even oblivion (low res textures while zooming and unatural glow ) *Fighting is like button mashing rather than RPG style. *Npc behavior is not so great as they where telling NPC are doing their work and sometimes give some comments for example farmer telling how hard his life is but his voice is not matching to expressions. It still can be fair RPG but I think unless modders start working on it ..we will be back to Oblivion Link to comment

It still can be fair RPG but I think unless modders start working on it ..we will be back to Oblivion Well, they seem hard to impress! What do they mean by "button mashing rather than RPG style"? I honestly am confused. Do they mean Dragon Age style combat is better? The Witcher 2 Style Combat? From what i've seen, it's much more realistic in the sense that your free to move around, fight dragons like you would have in reality, instead of waving a sword at their toes. I'm also positive that any weird things regarding NPC's and their facial expressions will be fixed by the time it is released (Skyrim isn't even a beta yet). The graphics will also improve over time and they looked great to me, MUCH better than fallout or Oblivion, even though they are in a whiter or "duller" environment than Oblivion. Todd Howard also said that the team is taking stuff from Oblivion mods and implementing them into Skyrim (one example is with the slower but more powerful bows). Who knows what else they've added/will add? Skyrim will also be moddable, even so for 360 users and they've already fixed a lot of gripes about oblivion. Not to flame or anything I felt like saying this. No hard feelings to anyone . Link to comment
Daguy Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Those videos utterly stunned me. Oddly, despite all the awesome effects and fuctions, the trench the second dragons body left in the dirt awed me most I think. That, and the storm spell. Immediatly made me decide I was going to be a Mage first time through (even if the game doesn't restrict you; I prefer to RP and restrict myself) so I can do the whole 'Gandalf on a tower, making storms, and slaughtering dragons'. Except, you know, a young female gandalf with the possiblity that the dragon may pin her to the roof and have its way with her once Lovers is ported. Link to comment

Daguy Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiZdYoLAzM4 QuakeCon video; pretty decent quality. Also revealed some pretty awesome stuff. Best watch it before it gets taken down. Shame it seems to go out of sync for the last 1/4. A quote from Arena and the dunmer sounding like they have a sore throat as in Morrowind give me hope that they learned from Oblivion. Link to comment
