Skyrim scans

[denizsi]

you can have the same spell in both hands for a bonus.

That's actually a pretty good mechanic unless you can raise your skill levels / damage output / etc. to the point of negating any difference between the two with enhanced item bonuses.

Whoaw, did they finally hire another modeler? I guess Obsidian won't have as many problems with their expansion to Fallout 4.

Nords were the only non-magical race in TES, right? That coupled with the scandinavian allusions, I'd expect lots of white supremacist separatism and magical prejudices for that fine political chaos effect in my Skyrim but noo, dragons and chosen ones are the shit now.

Fucking assholes. How can one single company can be given the power to hurt people so double-fold with two fucking franchises? It should be crime.

I'm still trying to have some hope that I will like Skyrim. I even liked Oblivion with mods to fix level scaling and a few other irritating things...

But after seeing this poll its pretty clear who their new fan base is. It's not that I didn't realize it before but I guess I was just hoping for something for us old time RPG fans to still remain.

I mean I realize to stay in the video game business you have to appeal to the younger crowd because that's where the majority of players are but man when I was a kid games were still a challenge and werent the crappy action games were getting now.

Im 36 and have been playing RPG's since Ultima III came out in 1983 and I have a bad feeling this might be the Elder Scrolls that causes me to move on to something else. I hope Im wrong though. Mostly worried about them removing Attributes and further slide the series into the action category.

Check out the this poll, vast majority of people on the fan forum are under 25

I feel old

I think you mean you feel retarded. There is no way in fuck you can turn Oblivion into anything resembling an RPG with all the mods in the world. It's a vast adventure game. A vast adventure game, where everone looks like the same frogface and talks alike and where exploring dungeons is pointless.

There are quest and adventure mods which are enjoyable but they also have the virtue of cutting most if not all association with the vanilla game and TES. Otherwise agreed. You can replace Oblivion but you can't enhance it.

OB was blue balls made into a game, from what i read here and there V will be a shit scaled waste of potential as usual .
I am very interested on how crafted shit will scale to your level tho.

And to hell with dragons , it is time for devs to think of something new Numidium wise .

Radiant Story - stuff like this sounds good in theory, but turns into a complete nuisance in actual gameplay. Just make it simple, and give me the option to do all the quests no matter what my race, class, background, in-game decisions, etc. I hate hate HATE being cut off from a quest because of some decision I made in game. Very disappointed by this aspect.

Gentlemen, we have found the anti-codex.

I remember back in the day when the Codex would have seen through and chuckled alongside a patently sarcastic post such as that.

Actually no, wait-

More action and epic fighting doesn't make it less of an RPG. I'm not sure why people are correlating the old paper and pencil aspects of an RPG (Attributes) to being an RPG. They don't have to have stats that you put points into to be an RPG. An RPG consists of three things, World, Gameplay and Story. Oblivion had the perfect world, which is obviously being transferred over to skyrim, they are revamping the gameplay and it seems like it is going to be epic and brutal (hurray!) and of course story, which Morrowind had the perfect story. Now if they can combine a world like Oblivions, a story like Morrowind's and the gameplay they have described then this game is an RPG and a damn good one at that.

Looks like I'll be buying this after all.

And it won't take long until the nude mods appear I'd wager.

You're buying it with titties that small? Really?

 

[KalosKagathos]

You whisper words of power.

Then Words of Power is how they should've named the system, is all I'm saying. Not as catchy and marketable as DRAGON SHOUTS, but it has more to do with the actual mechanic.

Ouch. It's more difficult to find a game that doesn't fit the definition than one that does.

Her face just does it for me.

And there will be Better Bodies mods I'm sure.

mods will fix it

Graphics whores detected.

Suddenly everybody forgot the OB preview vids with the ribcage casting dynamic shadows and some scripted bestiality scene.

Except for the better faces, character models and clothing looks very similar to Oblivion.

Interior decoration, too. And we can't know for sure if those shadows are real or just photoshopped.

Remember Oblivion pre-release screenshots.

 

[denizsi]

Pre-release Oblivion screenshots were the real deal, before they trimmed the graphics. It's in the videos, too. Everybody knows it.
