Skyrim in-game footage

[Excidium]

I had no idea Jesus was a blacksmith too.

Oh my god I just noticed that.

BEARDS CONFIRMED IN SKYRIM!

 

[Machocruz]

Bioshock combat? LMAO

Spell effects look shit as always.

Those are probably all the weapon and enemy types that will be in the game.

 

[Black]

Looks fucking awesome! Can't wait for November!

They got another one of us!

Compared to d&d, the monster types are fuckin wack in these games.

 

[.Sigurd]

Feels just like Oblivion, only with better animations and artistic direction.
And what's up with the horse? Funny thing is that Todd criticized how the horses in Oblivion felt robotic and now they come up with that.

Search your feelings, Black. You know it to be true.

Oblivion: Pretty Edition




(might pirate, but there is no way i'm paying 50 usd for the shitpile)

 

[catfood]

Dragons will be the new cliffracers, mark my words.

 

[Metro]

Dragons will be the new mudcrabs, mark my words.

 

[Max Heap]

I've fought mudcrabs tougher than those dragons.

Remember these from Ultima 9?
Mudcrabs are smalltime!


(These and the crabs from Drakensang 2 = Toughest crabs ever!)

 

[meanwhileInPoland]

It will be better than DA2, at least.


Right?

Yes. Yes it will. To be fair, un-modded Oblivion is better than DA2.

no its not

4/10 fuckface

the only game worse than vanila oblivion is arcania faggit

It's looking that way isnt it. Only these cliffracers are going to be a lot more time consuming and annoying to kill.
Jesus. What the fuck was Bethesda thinking by making these things infinite. They should have had a limited amount that were rare and really hard to kill, and dropped phat lewtz.

 

[jagged-jimmy]

The FPS crowd will love this game, as it did Oblivion. People who actually have a clue what a good RPG game is will have to wait for mods...

..if you'd told me this was an Oblivion DLC pack I'd have believed you.

After Mount and Blade and Dark Messiah...combat like that just looks so..dull.

Looks nice, but I'm ready to be dissapointed.

Stop posting all those negative comments on the consoltard site, you wont fool anyone anyway.

Yeah, that was incredibly disappointing. They could have made every dragon encounter special, with each dragon having unique abilities and attacks, yet Beth decides to throw in some more of their lazy copy + paste design by repeating the same fucking encounter over and over again. This idea of more = better really pisses me off, it's like Beth doesn't realize the concept of diminishing returns. If one dragon is cool that means that a million dragons must be like the coolest thing ever!!!

I dunno about cliffracers, maybe this will be more like Oblivion gates.

 

[DragoFireheart]

The question is, am I a moron if I buy this for the Xbox360 and after playing it for a couple hours I enjoy it for what it is?

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Why does Bethesda still not seem to understand that gravity accelerates things. Objects and people still fall at a leisurely, constant pace, just as in Oblivion. Wtf?

The part where the dragon snatches and drops the giant looks hilarious.

 

[Esquilax]

No, you're a moron if you ask strangers on the Internet if it's okay to like a game or not.

But seriously, I had a lot of fun with Oblivion... for the first four or five hours. The first dungeon I went to after the tutorial was a lot of fun - just the right amount of enemies, a few scrolls detailing what the bandits inside the ruin were up to, decent level design and a nice little statue at the end which pointed me to a quest.

The problem was that once you gain a few levels you realize how hollow everything is. Every ruin is the same, level scaling is everywhere, enemies have a ton of HP bloat, and exploration sucks because almost all the loot is scaled too. The quest design is really bad as well. It's just a badly-designed game, overall.

Apparently the gravity on Skyrim is the same as the moons.

This is part of Bethesda's ingenious strategy to hide their copy/paste approach to development. It's no coincidence that even the game's best dungeon appears literally right outside of the tutorial area. Front-load all of the unique, original and interesting content, then fill up the rest of the game with all the stuff they just didn't have time to polish or refine. It evidently fools the journalists who have to get their reviews out in a day, and it certainly makes for a good trailer at E3.

come on guise let's be fair we all know that it is hard to program proper gravity i mean you have to like change the velocity variable over time and pick a proper value for g and stuff that is not easy

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Tbh having infinite dragons doesn't mean they will be common. A final boss that respawns everytime you enter his room is still gonna be the strongest, rarest enemy in the game.

Since I imagine that "dynamic" thing will be bullshit, I'm guessing dragons have a chance of appearing on some spots of the map (preferbly open plains like the one where a dragon swwops in and grabs a hill giant)

 

[Trash]

Old link died, found a new one. Animations look wooden as usual. Especially the effects when people fall look ridiculous. The giant when he's dropped by the dragon and that lich when he's blasted into the air by a spell. Combat looks as bad as usual. Dragons seem as fragile as the cliff racers of old. Other than that? A slightly prettier version of Oblivion.

[drunkpriest]

Dragons are so fearsome that a npc will watch one land five feet away and then load another arrow, then after they have fire breathed on them they shrug it off, draw their sword and say "come on monster"

3rd person finishing blows = I'm out, so long Skyrim.
