Elder Scrolls V Skyrim Pics Incoming

Did I see a dragon there? Hopefully we can tame them and use them as mounts!
Reading the articles a little, it seems the dragons will be the antagonists in some form or another. That should make for some interesting conflict, seeing as the Empire (if it still stands) reveres dragons.

Let's just hope they do away with the level based encounter system of Oblivion =/

The Empire doesn't revere dragons, they revere Akatosh, a god that takes the shape of a dragon whenever he shows up on Nirn (almost never).

They also have a bunch of other gods that are not shown as dragons, as that is Akatosh's* thing.




* How am I supposed to write that? "Akatoshes" doesn't sound right.

It would be Akatosh's
Akatosh being a name it's just "'s" on the end

I am looking forward to this, a LOT.
But then again, so is everyone, I guess.

 

[NorthernTrooper]

Oblivion looked nice too, they probably fucked up the animation system.

Let me get this straight... You fight dragons but you are part one? Sounds like a Divinity II rip off. Way to reach a new low of plagiarism, Todd.

Divinity 2...which came out a year and 2 months ago. Skyrim, which has been in production for years, and Elder Scrolls lore which has been around for decades. Think before you post.

Ahem, not to mention the idea of X-Slayers (Replace X with foe) needing to have some kinship with their foe to get an edge has been around for years.... Grey Wardens? ... Hell even the Dragonslayers on Adventure Quest use abilities like Dragons Breath to fight their winged foes.

And you think divinity II was made in a second? It was released on November 20th, 2009. By that time bethesda just finished with Fallout 3 and were in pre-production for the elder scrolls.

Arena the first Elder Scrolls game was RELEASED April 1994. So ummm the Lore of TES is a little larger..

 

[GrizzlerBorno]

I never got into The Elder Scrolls. This may be my first foray, because that does look pretty sweet.

 

[Dana22]

So much snow.... I hope they have a bit of variety in the environments.

Then again, it is Nord-country. But still... I hope it's not all white.

Its Skyrim, its like saying there is too much snow in Arctic. And no I dont think it will be all snow. Solstheim was half snow, half taiga.

 

[Arachon]

How would you explain all the years of Elder Scrolls Lore? But no, of course Bethesda are a bunch of unoriginal, plagiarizing douchebags because you said so.

Simple, Todd Howard wasn't involved in that lore.

 

[Zer_]

You know, I never liked The Elder Scrolls styled dragons. I find they look like retarded penguins or something. I prefer my four legs plus two wings dragons over these weird things.

That's the only real complaint I have with TES, though.

 

[Super Toast]

Holy Christ that looks good. I'm gonna go get my pre-order on.

 

[Indignation837]

Many thanks for the pics! I can't wait for Skyrim!

 

[phantasmalWordsmith]

So much texture, so Viking-ish, such better graphics...If they don't fix the bloody combat system I'm raising hell

 

[Israirie]

I would be utterly blown away by those screenshots, but I just remembered we're dealing with bethesda here. Surely, all perceptions of beauty will be replaced with sheer horror the moment the first character animation plays. This followed by a mass exorcism, with my sword, and post traumatic nightmares for the weeks to come.

Bethesda studios are the worst animators on the planet, bar none.

Yes, I'm aware of that. But do you want to look at nothing but white mountains for 300+ hours?

 

[Kenny Doyle]

The graphics remind me of the Age of Conan's when I used to play it.. All the warrior viking-ness gives me high hopes that the melee combat isn't utter crap like in oblivion..

 

[Nupu]

Im confussed, if the game has dragons it makes it a Divinity copy. Doesn't that mean that WoW is a Divinity copy because some of the bosses are Dragons? That doesn't make anysense. Oh and the game looks nice, can't wait to give it a try.

You maybe wondering why I didn't just take the small pyramid of reply's? Because I don't want to make it bigger.

 

[Nickolai77]

Look's really good, i'm glad that it's set in Skyrim and that their giving it a "Nordic" theme, i like Norse culture and mythology. Carn't why till it comes out.

 

[Jatyu]

Can't help but notice one of the magic skills is enchanting...

Hope for Morrowind 2 yet!

 

[EHKOS]

Fuck, I was saving up for a violin but that's going to take a backseat....unless of course there are no pre-order goodies.
