Elder Scrolls Turns V at Spike VGAs

[binvjoh]

Awesome. I should finish Oblivion then.

 

[Credge]

Not like Oblivion, not like Oblivion, not like Oblivion...

Whats wrong with Oblivion, the only badthing I can think is my computers to crappy to run it well

Oh boy...

Everything to do with leveling in that game was awful.

The weapon selection was awful.

The spell system was awful.

The game unintentionally broke the third wall with the way NPC's looked and responded in the same four voice sets.

The skill system had a decent idea but was executed awfully ESPECIALLY compared to morrowind.

The only redeeming qualities of the game were the quests and the combat... some of the time. The combat was very fun, but the character development was stagnant because of levels and everything they did, caused, and resulted in.

I'll put it to you like this. It should not be the case that it's better for me to level up skills I did not pick as the primary skills for my character.

 

[Spectrum_Prez]

Awesome. I should finish Oblivion then.

Yup, this is the impetus for my '100%'ish runthrough of Oblivion. I spent a good amount of time on it, but never got around to actually exploring everywhere. Old computer was too crap + I lost interest after the main storyline wrapped up. Just wasn't as good as Morrowind, but I'm sure it'll improve if I give it time.

I just watched the trailer again and I cried again. Oh man.

 

[skeliton112]

YES! I've wanted them to come up with another TES. I hope it combines the good from oblivion and morrowind.

 

[imnot]

Not like Oblivion, not like Oblivion, not like Oblivion...

Whats wrong with Oblivion, the only badthing I can think is my computers to crappy to run it well

Oh yeah, I did hate the leveling and NPC's

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone get me some new underwear! Cannot wait. So glad it's not Cyrodiil again! Oh man... DO WANT!!!

 

[John the Gamer]

Dragons? Yay to that!

 

[Mcupobob]

I just craped my pants in joy.

 

[Super Jamz]

Looks like that giant dragon statue we made at the end of Oblivion is actually going to be doing something useful...

 

[Shoggoth2588]

I've been on the fence about Dragon Age 2 since it was announced. Several trailers later, I still don't know if I want it or not. It only took this one teaser for me to long for the frigid peaks of my native Skyrim.

Elder Scrolls Turns V at Spike VGAs

[gametrailers=708368]

One of the biggest announcements made at the 2010 Spike VGAs will greatly please RPG fans.

The 2010 Spike TV Video Game Awards held a major surprise for fans of Bethesda's Elder Scrolls [http://www.amazon.com/Elder-Scrolls-IV-Oblivion-Game-Pc/dp/B000V9C9FO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1292126761&sr=8-3] series. Revealed at the show was a brand new installment: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

RPG fans are set to have at least 100 more hours of their lives sucked away by the franchise, but Bethesda didn't reveal anything other than a story-based trailer for the game. Gameplay wasn't shown off, nor were details shared, but the Elder Scrolls games have been similar since Arena [http://www.amazon.com/Elder-Scrolls-Arena-Pc/dp/B0002XMKVW/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1292126799&sr=1-7] was released in 1994, so expect the same, but better. The game is named after the region of Skyrim, a cold and mountainous area where the first human settlements were said to have been founded.

The trailer that was played at the VGAs uses animation that appears as if it was carved out of stone, with the narrator saying that someone "should have acted" while imagery shows dragons or similar creatures annihilating a civilization. The game's Elder Scrolls apparently said these creatures would return, which had been defeated long ago, and they seem like pretty serious foes.

Luckily, these creatures fear the Dragonborn, which the player is likely is one of. The events of Oblivion are mentioned during the trailer, so it's possible that rumors [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/95699-Rumor-Next-Elder-Scrolls-Game-to-be-set-200-Years-After-Oblivion] that put Elder Scrolls V 200 years after the previous game could be true.

The trailer reveals that Elder Scrolls V will be out on November 11, 2011. With less than 11 months to release, expect Bethesda to provide more details soon.

Anyone else hear 'Dragonball'?

Anyway it's nice to have a setting set out, can't say I wasn't pissed at 11/11/11, but that's how it is with Bethseda, get GOTY.

Can't wait! (But must =[)

 

[GundamSentinel]

Oh dear, another one for the 'must have' list. It's starting to get rather long. Not that I'm complaining, of course...

 

[w-Jinksy]

well shit there goes another 100+ hours of my life, ah well at least its going to be fucking awesome.

and about the engine weren't bethesda supposed to be using the id engine used for rage for this?

 

[Imbechile]

Dragon Age 2. Mass Effect 3. TES V. Who the fuck. Is going to win. Game of the Year. Seriously, it will be impossible to make that decision.

I know. Deus ex HR will be the winner

 

[SadisticPretzel]

Looks really cool!

Although... the whole dragon theme kiiinda reminds me of a certain other game by a certain other major developer...

Not naming names of nothin'... just sayin'.

That was the first thought to cross my mind as well.

 

[Kurokami]

Yay, another boring-ass Bethesda game based on the buggiest engine ever cause it needs to run on every console that'll need at least 100+ Community Patches to be playable...

When you saw 'Elder Scrolls V' and chose to click on it, were you somehow unaware of what you were going to see? Or is it just that you felt everyone on here wanted to know that people who dislike Bethseda exist? Personally I don't get why the bugs should bother you in a game you're already displeased with, that's kind of like complaining that you can't chew on poo.

Anyway I hope you enjoy whatever games you are looking forward to.

 

[Vault Citizen]

Yay, more Elder Scrools to enjoy

 

[Doclector]

Thank Sheograth for that! My offerings of cheese, yarn, and human feet have been rewarded!

 

[ImprovizoR]

Nords were always my favorite race and now we get a TES that's all about Nords. A Norse epic. I can't wait. This is going to be awesome I just know it.

 

[the1ultimate]

YES YES YES YES, FINALLY!

Can I just submit now that this game needs to have less bugs than Oblivion. Preferably a new engine but...

No gameplay footage yet, but a solid date is good. And they'll want to make that date since it's before Christmas.
