First Skyrim Trailer Shows Off In-Game Hotness

[Ernil Menegil]

Mind officially blown.

Allow me to go gather the pieces of my brain from the floor.

 

[Snor]

someone please tell you have a time machine i can borrow!?!

If you only want to go forward, it's called going to a cold, snowy area, preferably mountains, where nobody will find you for a long period of time.

what is this land you speak of? is it called skyrim by chance?!
and no i will not do that i might miss the release!

 

[luvd1]

If I threaten the world with a giant laser will it make this game come out earlier. Coz I'll do it.

 

[Geamo]

This trailer really looked great, and the music in it was superb. Props to Bethesda. Looking forward to the game!

 

[Kris015]

Stream not found?!!?!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[craddoke]

I just cannot make sense of the graphics comments here (both those extolling them and those griping). What does it matter? Oblivion looked nicer than Morrowind from a purely technical perspective, but Morrowind's setting was more compelling and the game (far) more interesting. Fallout 3's graphics cannot even be reasonably compared to those in Fallout 1 & 2, yet those older games are superior on just about every other count that matters.

Perhaps I've been spending too much time (and money) at Good Old Games, but arguments about how shiny (literally and not Firefly metaphorically) a game is just seem beside the point. Sure this trailer is pretty and Skyrim does seem promising, but I couldn't give a dire rat's ass less whether the graphics are cutting-edge or "so 2002".

I hope they have all the 10 races in it, I am an insane Argonian fanboy.

 

[Big Phil]

There is this one moment in the trailer that reminds me strongly of the Highlander series - you kill somebody and get his or her powers via cool effects.

 

[Fappy]

I have no words the express how amazing that trailer was... 8 MONTHS AWAY DAMMIT! D:

 

[Heppo]

Still on the fence. I will wait till a friend buys it then play theirs before i consider getting it myself.

I thought I was on the fence then as soon as I saw the trailer I'm straight away thinking what will I need to do to get this working on max settings on my PC..... Looks like I'll be living on Tesco value products for a while!

 

[Daveman]

This does not bode well for my degree...

 

[Shoggoth2588]

THE MUSIC!!

My spine only just stopped tingling. That trailer was freaking great x3 It needs to be November now!

 

[geokes]

Great, I can't wait this long :'(

 

[Lord Kloo]

Three words to describe the next gen. graphics in TES V

Oblivion on Steroids...

 

[Sennz0r]

Holy shit they used the Morrowind theme music! The MORROWIND THEME MUSIC. I was sold when that started playing. I am going to upgrade my rig down to its genitalia and play the shit out of this game when it comes out. Don't expect me to be anywhere near humans that entire weekend.

 

[Agent Larkin]

God Dammit.

God Dammit, GOD FRICCKIN DAMMIT.

I was looking forward to this game sooooo much and then they had to do it. They had to make it un-buyable for me.

Thanks Bethesda, thanks a frickkin bunch. If anyone needs me I'm going off to cry in a corner.

 

[DuctTapeJedi]

Listen, and tell me if you don't start to cry from the awesome. Someone combined the three themes.

Good God, that episode of South Park where Cartman froze himself instead of waiting for the Nintendo Wii....

I think I may have to look into doing something similar.

As awesome as this looks, I'm still a little worried about the game. Yes this looks amazing, but so did Oblivion, all of the issues with Oblivion were game play issues. I'm hoping that the game keeps the combat system of Oblivion, but takes away the quick travel option and has a slit strider kind of thing, or at the very least make it more like the one in FO3 and FO:NV. Also hopefully there wont be anything equivalent to the Oblivion Gates thing, you know when you have to do like a million of them. In all I hope its a pretty Morrowind, so i don't have to turn it off and go back to Morrowind like I did with Oblivion.

Dragon Shouts are basically awesome powers that we've never had before, like a Force Push-type power, a time-stop power, etc.

From what I saw at the Game Informer website, the closest thing to the Oblivion Gates, where there are 60 in total, are the dragons. There are around 60 of them, and you get more Dragon Shout powers for each of them you kill (20 shouts, 3 words per shout, say more words to have a better effect). I am fine with 60 dragons rather than 60 samey hellscapes.

Yeah but that assumes that each dragon has some unique quality, and each shout actually has significance (admittedly I do not really know anything about the shouts). I kind of wish Bethesda would go the Team ICO route and have like only 10 dragons, but each of them are VERY different and require something different from the player. However, we all know that the dragons will eventually repeat, but hopefully it wont reach the level of ad nauseam that the Oblivion Gates got to.

Was it just me or did the chant in the middle go with morrowinds theme? And my god Bethesda this is a great looking engine, I cant wait.
