First Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Details Leaked

[archvile93]

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.

Yeah I gave up on that story pretty quick when I realized it wasn't interesting. And shouldn't the game be about playing the game anyway? If I wanted to spend my time reading books instead completing quests and other stuff I'd...well, I'd read books.

 

[Lt. Vinciti]

I cried...

I really did...

WHY ARE YOU SO FAR AWAY NOVEMBER!

---

Really tho this should be awesome....I mean....Dual Wield...

Can not wait to Dual Wield or...even Create a Weapon..

Swords oh lovely Swords..

I wonder if the Enemy NPCs will do silly shit do...

"Battlemage" - Fireball/Shield

or a Captain of the Guard will be a Southpaw

Maybe a Rogueish character that DWs?

 

[Debatra]

I wonder if the AI will be as... "Radiant" as in Oblivion?

If it turns out we really can dual-wield shields, I swear I'm naming a character as close as the character limit allows to Sir Schmoopy of Awesometon.

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

Sweet Bioshock 2 style combat! Fire in one hand and primary weapon in the other! Also I had a nerdgasm because of the included picture.

Yeah Bioshock was the first thing I thought when I saw that picture. I like the new approach on combat, and the the other added mechanics sound like a good idea to.

 

[EnigmaticSevens]

They must include sword-chucks! I must dual-wield sword chucks!

 

[ChupathingyX]

If you can't join the "bad" guys then the storyline will automatically be as crap as Oblivions. I seriously don't want to go do another fetch the magical item questline again. I just wanted to shove a dagger down Martin's throat.

Oh and Bethesda if you plan on hiring any big name actors this time, actually give them large parts, don't kill them off during the damn tutorial, or make you see them only twice.

 

[imnot]

Yay looking forward to this.
Pitty theres no way I could get it for PC.

Why cant you?

Well I could but if its got better graphics than oblivion it will run about 1 frame per day

My entire point is that The Elder Scrolls series has been about letting people choose how to play. If I want to throw myself into reading all of the books in Tamriel, I can choose to. You don't have to, but lots of people will. By streamlining and catering to the masses, they'll spend less time on smaller subtleties like lore. I'm not saying you can't act like a throwable weapon for a quest giver. I'm just saying that I like my freedom to choose in games, especially games that encourage me to just wander around and do whatever I feel.

 

[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!

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.
