First Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Details Leaked

[Sethzard]

I really don't like the idea of needing to equip a spell in a hand. Oh well, we shall see if it works.

 

[KLJT]

The levelling system never bothered me i just became super power and never slept but Skyrim sounds like a dream come true

 

[Poopster]

no news about mounted combat? like in mount and blade?

 

[Latinidiot]

must...resist...happiness....too....good to be....truuueeeee.......


YES! GOD YES! A THOUSAND TIMES YES!

I am weak.

 

[Tom Goldman]

Now I'm looking forward to it. A Khajiit with dual daggers and light armor is-a-coming!

 

[WrongSprite]

So there's no more reason to read them in the previous games than there will be in this one, pretty much destroying the argument of the one I originally quoted.

Oblivion has 109 different skill books, each adding +1 to the skill in question the first time you read it.

Okay how many people who never cared about the lore to start with didn't just open the book, get the skill point, and then throw the book away without reading it?

If you don't care about the story, why are you playing an Elder Scrolls game? That's like playing Poker for the texture of the cards.

What? Elder scrolls has never been focussed around the story, it's about the open ended gameplay. Morrowind and Oblivion are my favourite games, but I couldn't give a rats arse about the story, it's all about the immense amounts of fun the games are.

 

[Rblade]

The only thing I have to say about this is:

F#@$ YEAH

can't wait

 

[Schmittler]

It sounds awesome. But I still want a form of Multiplayer to make it long lasting. Single Player Games are great. Don't mess up the Single Player Campaign, just add on a Co-op campaign or something. I would forever love that.

 

[E-Penguin]

Can your shield be used as a weapon? If so, I'm going to make the most difficult to damage character EVER.

Maybe you could have a shield in each hand?

That would look ridiculous.

I want to be able to dual wield shields.

Exactly my thought.

"Oh no! Double-shield man is coming! RUN!"

I can see a meme coming out of this.

What if the shields are enchanted with "reflect damage"

Trust me as someone who does care: the story makes it a lot more immersive and fun. Don't get me wrong; caring about the story came as an act of boredom, but then I realized how much I was missing.

 

[DVS Storm]

Oblivion is one of the games that I've played the most. This sounds awesome but unfortunately it comes almost at the same time as Mass Effect 3. Well I think I have time for them both

That's it. I am making the most terrifying tank EVAR.

 

[CD-R]

no news about mounted combat? like in mount and blade?

Mounted combat only really works in games like Mount and Blade where most of the fighting takes place on big open battlefields. It's pretty pointless for a dungeon crawl game like Oblivion.

 

[Dusk17]

Looks like a ripoff of that 2 Worlds game. Also why does everyone want 2 shields? What is the point of that? I also hope they dont do that faction thing like they did in New Vegas.

An actual tank without a barrel?

Well, if I can find a barrel with a high enough armor rating...

Good luck with that.

 

[Echo136]

But I didn't hear what I wanted to hear: new engine?

New engine was already mentioned the day the Skyrim trailer was released.

 

[Infernai]

.....I wander if i can Dual Wield two bows? xD

Oblivion isn't a dungeon crawl game. It would probably be improved if every dungeon was removed.

The entire reason for the existence of ES is giant open world. Where mounted combat could work just fine, thank you.

And really, how hard is it to add some attack animations for horseback and a rudimentary trample/knockdown effect. It worked just fine as a sideshow is Assassin's Creed. Wasn't overpowered either.
