Would be the effin' treat especially if the cliff racers migrated to Skyrim. Say hello to your dearest old pals :frog:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Can't wait for those :goodjob:

There should be a slinky toy up the top of the stairs that you can send crawling down.

Hmm, I remember that from somewhere:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Z2GwwmE0ec

the best part is that there will be different counts from different people. everyone is going to accuse other people of double counting or missing some steps. i predict massive flame wars between the "overs" and "unders". lots of warnings and outright bans will be issued.

i hope they use a generic step that is common in the game or even mix them up a bit so that someone just cant look at the item count in the editor.

also, he never did say how big the steps are. what if they are like those teeny tiny steps on the mayan temples?

I want there to be EXACTLY 7126 STEPS. No more, no less!

I expect a lot of threads of

"what, only 6997 steps!!!"

"what? I counted 7001"

"I got 7003"

"well clearly you all can't count, I got 6998"

"well if none of you got 7000 then beth must be liars! remember in morrowind when they payed attention to detail? man I wish this game was morrowind 2.0"

cuz steps are important. :whoops:

They'll probably use a ton of repeat segments, so if you just count how many steps there are in each segment, it should be easy to figure out the total with the CS without counting each step.

I wonder if characters will be able to actually step on each step rather than run up the stairs as though it's a ramp as it usually works.

That's exactly what I was thinking! If there's one thing that would be satisfying to see, it'd be your character actually putting their feet on every individual step. Would make it much easier to count them, too.

:rofl:

one of my friends was into video game design and coding and they will be able to do this, if you look in fallout you could see that this happens, it is something about the collision correcting the bones or something I forget

I thought it wouldn't be doable but I guess it is:

If you count 5 steps every 2 seconds (which is pretty fast consider you have to walk and count) it would take about 13 minutes.

Still though, 13 minutes of counting the same thing over an over is no fun :rolleyes:

Todd has already confirmed the 7000 steps

Little details like that make me happy~ hoot hoot :spotted owl:

Ha! You're a layMAN :rofl:

Don't make me break out the fists.

The second song of King Wulfharth glorifies his deeds in the eyes of the Old Gods. He fights the eastern Orcs and shouts their chief into Hell. He rebuilds the 418th step of High Hrothgar, which had been damaged by a dragon. When he swallowed a thundercloud to keep his army from catching cold, the Nords called him the Breath of Kyne.

The Nords do not believe in creation. "We always were," they'd say. However, their Song of Return is anologous to a creation myth. The Breath of Kyne calls the Nords, so they aren't erased from pattern, in the Kalpa turning. If Clan Ald Eats the World, Man is wiped from the pattern of possibility, and life returns to the immortal days of mythical Aldmeris. Or so the Altmer believe. Keeping the steps is vital. They fortify the pattern, for the Nord's Hero to make the mythic transition, over the layers of the Cosmic egg, to the Sky. From the Sky, he returns with the power to kill their enemy, Alduin. "Eastern Orcs" is a repeated reference to Dwemer. Their chief is Dumalacath the Dwarf-Orc, whose Tonal Architects erase the Dwemer from the Heart of the World. The Heart belongs to Wulfharth, anon Lorkhan.

The Podcast said they`d make damn sure there were 7000 steps, so I`ll believe it and trust at least 5 people to make youtube videos of themselves counting them all.

I hope they have random monsters while climbing the (stupid) steps. Otherwise, an elevator would be good.

Someone had fun of paralyzing bears in Oblvion just to watch them roll down hills.
So yes on top its a guy casting a damage stamina spell on you.

Not gona count the steps, not now, not ever, never.

Since this is going to be located on the highest peak in the world, I think they may have to have the staircase begin a ways up the mountainside.

yes, Todd has stated that he will be counting himself

I have a smart plan for counting the steps. I need to have at least 7000 gold so I can put a coin on each step the way up then find the difference when I reach the last step
Of course I'll have to refrain from looting any gold on my way up. I can take all my loot back on the way down :thumbsup:

Your method reminds me of how to get out of a labyrinth...drop sand as you walk along.
