Skyrim Preview

[Your Nightmare]

Meh, I'm still not jumping on the hype bandwagon. Oblivion also promised loads of cool stuff, looked unbelivable, but, IMO, all we got was a watered down action game that barely represented an RPG. It's going to take more than a few videos and promises to get me excited for this one.

TBF, it was released in what, 2006?

They must have been working on it since 2004, back when PS2 was king. Unlike now, where they have a large technological advancement over its preprocessor. I doubt this is going to be another Fable 2

"Every user gets their own, unique dog" LIES PETER, LIES!

 

[The Great JT]

Guys? Can I speak to you on top of the volcano? And could you please wear the Ceremonial Sacrificial Ropes of...uh...Conversing? I just want to talk to you about a volcano god...

 

[Bek359]

Uhhh why does this ruin look exactly the same as the ones from Oblivion?

Well, from an in-universe perspective, it's an Imperial fort, made using Imperial construction methods and in the Imperial style. Just like the ones from Cyrodil.

 

[Fappy]

Awesome preview! November, why are you so far off?

 

[Purplecoyote]

Oh my god, I'm so excited. I'm seriously considering camping outside a store, just for this game..and ME3, but mostly Skyrim!

 

[oldtaku]

But can you arm two SHIELDS? Huh?

(I suspect the answer is yes, you go ahead and do that if you want.)

 

[Mumorpuger]

Looks awesome!

Also: Whenever I play an Elder Scrolls game, I like to imagine that all my new characters have been imprisoned for public urination.

Man with you going to an execution in this one, he'd have had to piss on something really important, like the Emperor's tome or something. Which would be epic in its own respect.

Indeed! It gets funnier with every addition to the series!

Heck, they had to ship me to a whole new land, in ES3.

 

[Ophiuchus]

Yup, I said I was gonna stop reading Skyrim previews 'cos it just makes November feel so much further away. I'm actually gonna do that now.

Also, I can't wait until this time next week, when I should be able to afford to renew my PubClub membership... forgot how annoying it was to have reviews and articles spread over two or three pages.

Great now I have that image.

"Sir we're going to have to banish you; the fact you kept urinating on everything just does not lend you to this land. One more infraction and you're off to Morro....Are you urinating on my leg right now?!"

 

[Ekonk]

If my laptop can't run this I will rage so fucking hard.

You say that as if it's not TOTALLY AWESOME.

Now I want to roll a Redguard and kit him out with full plate and double tower shields. My character will be a walking fortress.

 

[Darth Sea Bass]

Holy shit i want it and i want it now!

"In Skyrim difficultly levels are locked in place once you visit an area, so you'll have a chance to go out and get stronger before coming back and facing a challenge that's been getting the best of you."

So, discover every location at level 1, then gain 50 levels, and just mop up? Am I reading this right?

And that sir, has become my Twitter quote of the day. Congrats.

You win one internetz.

It gets even better as the shopkeeper's sister offers to guide Todd to the path the robbers might have taken. As Todd walks alongside her, she pours out most of the "tell me more" information that keeps the action from progressing in games like Mass Effect.

So kind of like the walking/riding expository conversations in Assassin's Creed 2/Brotherhood, but with dialogue options?

Yes, that's close. It reminded me more of the walk-and-talk sequences in Red Dead Redemption. It's a nice way to fill in the backstory while the character is busy doing something else.

I've heard about this and apparently they have a level cap system thingy, for example if you are level five and u travel to a far off place you will find some dungeons that are set to 10-20 meaning if u enter them the minimum level of monsters is 10 and it will scale with you up untill 20 then after that it will cap and you can devestate it at level 30. dont qoute me on this though.

 

[Jonluw]

And I jizz in my pants.

Really. I can't say anything else.
When this game comes out, I might just climax so hard I end up destroying my surroundings.

 

[SmilingKitsune]

Fantastic preview, and those screens look amazing, the Orcs actually look imposing again.
I've said it before but there is no game I am looking forward to more.
