| TES V: Skyrim - *No Spoilers Please* | |

Cause you know you lurve it!
New info as and when it comes out. So far the release is 11.11.11 which is easy enough to remember and approx 295 days from now. Website Worth a read Four French dudes got 2 and a half hours each on a 3 month old build. Check out the roughly translated impressions here. Skyrim is the homeland of the Nords, the original home of man. As far as I know the game is set around the death of the king which happens at the start of the game. I imagine very much like the death of the Emperor in Oblivion (Skyrim takes place around 200 years after the events of TES IV). You take the role of the last of the Dovahkiin, or Dragon Born, and its up to you to deal with a civil war and some sick dragon thing. Go here for more info: Link SO! I had an idea. How about all of us looking forward to Skyrim get together on TeamSpeak on Nov. 11th? We can chat, have a laugh and discuss our experiences as we play. Anyone wanting to play in silent for a bit is welcome to drop in and out at their leisure. I think it'd be a great excuse to chat with each other again! 
Well, Skype didn't happen as I was busy that night. Hope everyone's enjoying Skyrim as much as I am. Can I please ask that nobody gives away any spoilers in this topic, please.

the thing im looking forward the most is... an overhauled leveling and skill system.
they probably realised its just too problematic and not worth keeping it for old times sake. i surely hope they will make the better vanilla game. if not for dark brotherhood storyline oblivion would be pretty bad. and yes id agree about blades - who the hell wants to be in the blades? definitely not me. most of their job is espionage yet all you do is kill daedric monsters.lol id also want more consequences. you become the most powerful archmage in the region and all you get is 'hi archmage' and your own room which is rather pointless. id like that if they keep the guild storylines as they were in past games, they should make some quests, stories, npc interactions being unlocked all the time. for example if you become the best assassin in the world... obviously you wouldnt want to sit around and do nothing but watch gold flow into your pocket. ill be expecting for a better combat system. even with deadly reflex mod in oblivion it took hours to battle one opponent. better stealth - if you are detected you cant hide again. bullshit. also as a stealth character you pretty much had to go invisible 24/7 and only assassinate your objectives. sometimes when you choose to... other times - you have no choice. being unseen 24/7 gets old quite fast. lockpicking was boring. and mods... im starting to realise that they arent just good things. they are double-edged swords. more mods - more mess to set your game up. games like morrowind, oblivion or... mount and blade really suffer from this problem. they really have to make some kind of mod installer. id love to play oblivion now, but im a bit too lazy to find everything... Quote: I wonder what they will do to make up for how much smaller Skyrim is compared to Cyrodil.
size of the world is hardly a problem when developers balance such things as number of quests, where they take part, how often you have to stay in one area, how fast you can travel... hah also note: morrowind was smaller than oblivion since it only took place in vvanderfell. note 2: prepare for a lot of snow. nords dont have that cold resistance for no reason. oh and tes5 really needs something that... probably wont be in the game - DECAPS! _______________ playing jk3 since 30th of january (2005), member since 1st of february.

Yeah. All the custom content that was available for Oblivion was overwhelming, you could pimp that game quite a lot. On the other hand this was highly neccessary as vanilla Oblivion did suffer from a whole bunch of flaws.
Once again a good modding tool will decide longitme success of TES 5. _______________ Proud owner of Buster Senatu's 200th & 300th, Muro's 370th, Maher's 2100th, Henkes' 1639th, Johauna's 400th, 666th and 900th, Sho Koon's 2000th and Kain Sol's 600th comment Download Laziana's lightsaber here!

Oblivion has had a longer life because of the mod base. I know I bought a second copy when I lost my first so I could continue fiddling around with making mods. I hope TESV is just as mod friendly. _______________ "Deos fortioribus adesse." |

Thought as much... companies have to go mainstream nowadays to make enough profit, especially with an offline game that has no constant profit potential except for a one-time buy. _______________ Proud owner of Buster Senatu's 200th & 300th, Muro's 370th, Maher's 2100th, Henkes' 1639th, Johauna's 400th, 666th and 900th, Sho Koon's 2000th and Kain Sol's 600th comment Download Laziana's lightsaber here!

From the information already given, Bethesda is making TESV a little more mainstream so I doubt objective markers and fast travel would be taken out. _______________ "Deos fortioribus adesse." |

I agree with Laz. I actually have a notepad in my drawer that I used to use to fill in little notes and stuff on where stuff was in Morrowind (Vvardenfell).

And they should take away all those "guiding" from Oblivion, going back to Morrowind where you start the game and have no clue what to do or where to go. I liked that. _______________ Proud owner of Buster Senatu's 200th & 300th, Muro's 370th, Maher's 2100th, Henkes' 1639th, Johauna's 400th, 666th and 900th, Sho Koon's 2000th and Kain Sol's 600th comment Download Laziana's lightsaber here!

Maybe they'll pack it with content the way they did with Fallout 3, or completely abolish fast travel; or they might have to remove horses, which would be a bit of a shame. _______________ Find out more about the Jedi Academy Aurochs here and more about Masta here!

I foresee many a fap.
I'm joking obviously but the point still stands. I'm so glad the game is evolving beyond play-doh faces and hopefully generic race/gender voices are out too. VARIATION = IMMERSION. I don't want to hear that darn Redguard voice actor ever again. Well, maybe just once more... Either way, they can definitely drop that female dunmer voice. It was the least erotic voice over of anything ever. _______________ -Padawan of Virtue -Brother of Menaxia, *|irael, Krynn Adept, Majno, Ris Win Juljul, DaMi3N, Beowulf, Dash Starlight, Carrock and Yuken Zalak Bartender at Munes bar.

I think your character will start from scratch like Morrowind and Oblivion. The dragon born thing will probably be something the player wasn't aware of and finds out because of the whole 'Skyrim in dire need' kind of thing.
While they are taking some skills out, they are adding perks and dragon abilities. I think the variety of skills will be dwindled, but the depth of the skills will be increased. _______________ "Deos fortioribus adesse." |

Yup they're reducing the number of skills (again) and dropping mysticism. I have a lot of faith in Bethesda (and Bioware) myself. I know that they made a few bad decisions with Oblivion, like failing to match Morrowinds vast assortment of groups to join, but for the most part Oblivion was a stunning experience and Skyrim will be too.
I wasn't sure about the decision to make your character the "last of the dragon born". It seems to be setting an actual history/past for the player. Its quite a deviation from their past releases in which the player has always taken the role of a completely blank slate. Allowing you to decide what type of character you are playing in all aspects. Also - GETTING SICK OF BEING IN THE BLADES! They've been dwindling in numbers for what, like, two thousand years now?! How much longer can they possibly last? _______________ -Padawan of Virtue -Brother of Menaxia, *|irael, Krynn Adept, Majno, Ris Win Juljul, DaMi3N, Beowulf, Dash Starlight, Carrock and Yuken Zalak Bartender at Munes bar.

I read a lot about TES5 and Bethesda looks like they are improving from Oblivion and borrowing from Fallout 3. More voice actors is one improvement I was happy to hear and hopefully they can improve the combat further instead of making it worse. I trust Bethesda as much as Bioware, so I'm sure the game will be great.
It certainly seems like it will be a great game. Although from what I read, the game will be simplified further. I suppose that's to be expected since it's the trend with RPGs to be more accessible to casual players now. _______________ "Deos fortioribus adesse."
