New Skyrim Gameplay

[newwiseman]

The biggest problem with combat in a TES game has always been "how far will this sword reach?".

It doesn't look like they have an answer to that, but 3rd person actually looks playable this time around so I'll let it slide. The dual wielding system looks to be the biggest and best improvement.

As for graphics who the hell cares. Every TES game I've ever played I've ended up installing custom textures and meshes that go way above whatever Bethesda originally offered. And, if the Bethesda got the plan worked out with Microsoft and Sony, the console version should offer some of the modding options.

I'm looking forward to sinking a lot of time into this world and hope it's bigger than Oblivion and more jam packed full of stuff than Morrowind.

I'm not feeling it. Graphics look pretty mediocre, and the combat is much too clunky-looking. Not to mention Bethesda has a terrible repuation for writing, so this is probably going to have a very poor story.

If you think those are "mediocre" graphics(Taking into account it is the 360 version being shown) then WHAT, pray tell, do you consider "good" graphics? This is the single most beautiful game I have ever laid eyes on.

Any doubts I had about this video have been completely forgotten. My biggest worry was the animation (animation in previous games was terrible), but it shows off amazing improvement.
Thoughts?

I want this game. Dynamic events like those dragon fights are the future of rpgs imo and I think this looks awesome.
Thank you. I wasn't sure about this game but this video has sold me.

Woooooow. This looks absolutely amazing. I'm getting this as soon as it's out.

Dear me, this looks incredible. I think I'll go third person on this one, maybe I can extend my Demon's Souls skills to this game...

When the giant was rushing at the player ... holy shit.

My doubts are swiftly evaporating.

Arglbarglwargl! This is gonna be awesome! I was afraid that dragon battle would be scripted/qte's, but seeing it in action is a huge relief. Also: did I see the option to talk with the Giants pop up?

"Being lead to your execution"... sounds familiar... (not in a bad way!)

Also: fighting a dragon at the top of a tower with lighting: I'm getting Unending Stairs/Zirkzigil flashbacks...

 

[T8B95]

Holy.Shit.

This looks absolutely amazing. Ridiculously good. Day 1 buy, here.

I just hope that we will see more of this at E3 over the next few days.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go watch it a few dozen more times.

Have you played Morrowind, because that game has an amazing story and writing. Sure Oblivion's wasn't great, but Bethesda can deliver.

OT: The gameplay was awesome, I've waited so long and it definitely didn't disappoint.

 

[Yosato]

Holy crap this game looks incredible. I really can't wait now, five months seems like a lifetime to me D=

Not just any dragon. An unscripted dragon! Once I heard unscripted dragons and saw how quickly you could swap out weapons for spells I became ecstatic. I loved my Battlemage in Oblivion and now he's got some dragons to kill!

Definitely a day one purchase.

Seeing the giant whisked away was great

I'm hoping at QuakeCon they show off NPC interaction.

 

[Infernai]

BY THE FORCE! THIS GAME LOOKS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

 

[Baldry]

I was impressed all the way through but the two things that I really loved was the giants and when the giant got killed by the dragon and the fact you can summon a storm! I literally can not wait for this game!

 

[Distorted Stu]

SO MANY GAMES. SO MUCH WANT!

 

[JochemDude]

That is the definition of excellence right there. 2011 is a good gaming year.

 

[Josh Horton]

I love how they flat out said, "We stopped counting after 300 hours of gameplay." I got freaking chills seeing the gameplay video. This is gonna ruin college for me... Lol

 

[DustyDrB]

Just when I was losing interest, they pull me back in. Those dragons look too majestic to kill...

I'm loving the 3rd person view. I'll probably play the whole game in 3rd person.

 

[Life_Is_A_Mess]

I knew it was epic, but after I saw this... EPICGASM! And, it has DRAGONS!!!
Dragons are awesome.
