You should probably have waited till Friday to make this thread. People would be able to discuss it with you then.
I'm a journalist (okay, final year journalism student, almost the same thing). I bring news.
That was news? Huh. Seemed more like a rant to me.

I'm a video editor for a gaming journalism site which I won't name since I want to stay here a while longer. I play games to capture the gameplay and suches. I know what you speak of. But come on, you didn't really expect angels to descent from heaven with an entire chorus of gregorian throat singers right? :p

No, because Bethesda. Apparently I'm here to shatter other people's dreams with my magic wand of valid criticism.

Is there claw type weapons, I can't find anyone saying it isn't in the game, but that would make my sneaky Raptor-esque Argonian build so much better

Oh yea, I'm one of those weird people who actually thought the silly character animations were funny, and more enjoyable because of that, I enjoy a few stupid looking things as long as it doesn't impact gameplay

Played it yesterday for a few hours since a buddy of mine got it (legally) early on PS3.
Yes, it looks nice, but why does everything else feel the same? The same weightless physics, the same horrible character animations, the same awkward standstill conversations, the same absolutely idiotic AI...

Now, I had some fun with Oblivion, it's a good game, especially for its time, but why is the ONLY damn thing they've improved over the years the graphics? They've had so much time, yet most of the stuff we get is directly ported over from Oblivion. Worst was when two characters were standing in front of each other, completely motionless (save for their faces), shouting at the top of their lungs something like 'OH MY GOD A DRAGON WTF WTF WTF'. I mean, shit. Another thing was when a character runs for his life (again, with the exact same character animations of people running in Oblivion), then when he's reached his waypoint he turns around to meet you super damn slowly like everything is alright.

It's like they took all the (valid) criticism they got with Oblivion (a good game, but by far not perfect) and just decided to disregard EVERYTHING.

Oh well, it'll still be a nice walk-in-the-mountains simulator.
I wanted to just say "Lol" and then walk away but, I wont.

Bluntly stop being a shit stirer, wait the game is out. Because until then opinions like this have no valildity.

Was this not clear to anyone who saw a single gameplay video? The non-premade character animations in Skyrim are terrible.

(Uhh... that came out more douche-y than intended.)

Rants =/= valid criticism. Plus as a journalist you should know better then to highlight out merely the bad things and end with a snarky comment about mountain walking simulations.

(Plus your opinion does not really matter for my experience anyway. I know it'll be fun, I know it'll be good and you won't have much fun if you're going to nitpick over every dustcloud there is.)

Besides, keeping in mind that it's Bethesda made it there is always -something-. Therefor, not beeing hyped and have adjusted cautious expectations, I think I be receiving the game in a better way.

No idea, I played as an Ork. There's a golden claw in the game but that's a quest item.

well that's a shame after seeing how GOOD the animations and immersion was in RAGE (aside from all the bugs which killed the game for me). Bethesda should have collaborated with ID on that part, character interaction and animations in RAGE are awesome

From what i have seen in reviews and such this should not be the case. Would be weird that those reviews just skip over something like you describe as is should be super obvious. Those reviews are for PC though so i could indeed be that the console version is just crappier. I think you just had a bug or bad luck though. I did see the near-weightless physics though, in that trailer where the dragon picks up a giant and drops it, that does look weird. Other than that i think (well, hope)that you are just having some bad luck.
i would gamble to say that the poster is probably just yanking our dicks

Also, as final proof that I DID play the game.
During the intro, the dragon cannot kill you. Its scripted fire breathing events are nonsense, since you can literally walk right up to its face while it's incinerating everything around you. After the introduction, I went left. Found a villiage run by an old woman. I killed the bard in the tavern (I requested an Imperial song and he criticized me for it) and fled form the guards. I then went a bit north-west, found an old fort held by ork bandits, slew them all and got some really good loot from their boss (magic helmet). Afterwards I got attacked by bounty hunters, apparently now they send those after you if you mess up. Also watch for watch towers. They try to throw rocks on you. They hurt.

So long as those obsessively efficient guards return from oblivion it'll be worth playing for several hundred hours.

When I said I was the worst student of my year, I meant that. I'm the best video-editor (yes, I'm jealous of your job) they've got, though. That's enough to save me (hopefully).

*raises eyebrow* No sarcasm?

What I'm unclear on is the "it's a reskinned Oblivion" when it's running in a completely different engine. Were all the demonstration videos showing different animations merely elaborate hoaxes, and this forum post from Ein is The Truth? Or are you possibly exaggerating a touch?

It's the same in Fallout 3 and New Vegas. What's the problem?

Ok, ok, yes I'd like it to be more organic but the game is about... other... stuff? Right?
