Please don't flame if this has all already been mentioned.
Just trying to share.


There are Birth signs but not like Oblivion.
There are large standing stones called Doom Stones by the Mag that let you choose your Birth sign.
You can only have one 'activated' at a time but you can switch out your Birth sign if you don't like what it does.
Birth signs impart skill boosts and special powers.

Dragons can pick up Giants. The Dragon mentioned actually picked up an already dead giant.

You CAN encounter more than 1 dragon. The mag mentions encountering two at the same time but had help from some Guards defeating them.
The first Dragon was killed by an NPC guard BUT the player still absorbed its soul and unlocked a new shout that helped to defeat the 2nd Dragon.

Some shouts mentioned are Whirlwind Sprint, Ice Form, Slow Time and Unrelenting Force and Storm Call.

When the player used Storm Call at the highest level it still didn't kill the 2nd Dragon. It was an area attack that damaged everyone unlucky enough to be caught in it. Poor Guards.

There are Foxes in the game that hunt rabbits in the game.

Horses can Sprint.

Wind blows dynamically generated snow.


Clothing is simplified with clothing and armor coming is single suits and not separate pieces.
THIS IS APPARENTLY WRONG INFO REPORTED BY PSM ACCORDING TO PETE. SEE BELOW POSTS.



That's it for now.
There are other threads that mention about the different ores and Meats,etc already so I wont re post all of that.

Hope you enjoy.

The mag is a great read and the Screenshots are AMAZING. Get this mag if you can. You won't be disappointed.

:ahhh:NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

........I.....can't.....WAH!

:shakehead:

Yeah I died a little after reading that myself. I hope they screwed up and got that wrong myself.

Buh-fasdfasdf-sdfdsf- WAHHT?

Ok...... Ive been supportive of everything Ive heard thus far... but this is just disconcerting


WOW :sick:


I repeat... WOW. Absolutely TERRIBLE NEWS. Anyone that has seen me post knows Im not partial to the whole "oversimplification" argument, but I have no idea what else to call this. Fallout was fun - but it was FAR more simple than Oblivion and that is partly why I favored the latter.

(so this information was wrong?)

oh christ not this again.

Pete already confirmed that's wrong. stop complaining and read the other ten threads we had about it.

Everyting sounds interesting, thanks for sharing. I'm wondering about the armour tho, Pete Hines said a few hours ago:

pity to hear that the armor has been simplified.

Link it NAO! :ph34r:

another bit of info:

"Players don't have to eat"

Noooooooooooo!

Guys, armor question is in the fan interview. As I said, it's not Fallout 3, one piece. Beyond that, stay tuned.

Speaking of the part where guards help you take down one of the dragons, it'd be cool if NPC's reacted to you absorbing a dragon's soul. Seems like that'd be something ya don't see every day, even in a world of magic, but I don't know. :lightbulb:

This. Really hope an otherwise fine OP doesn't turn into another armor freakout thread. Separate pieces are confirmed. The mag is talking about the armor being displayed in inventory - at least that's what I've heard.

nvm read above post

ITT people posting after reading only the OP.

Read the whole thread guys.

I want extremely complicated, multifaceted, layerable, totally customizable clothing! Ugh, WHY WITH THE SIMPLIFICATION! Just let me wear boots, pants, greaves, shirt, cuirass, belt, individual gloves/bracers, amulet, two rings, hat, and robe to go over the top!

:ahhh: :ahhh:

I could see some people doing that. Haha.

I'm so confused....I need someone to explain this to me.

Thats not confirmed, just a rumor. But we do know that armor isn't in one piece and a helmet, thats been confirmed already

I put a caps 'however' in the OP.

Hope that clears some air.

I was just reporting what the Mag said and had no idea about the Pete post myself so I'M relieved too.

About what?

There have been edits. If its false then hooray, however not eveyone sees every thread, so lets not get upset at people being shocked.

If you know more than the rest, just let us know without being pretentious or pompous (not you Great P)

Me too....Thank God!

Okay. Lets move to more important things

I like the idea of Dragons picking things up,and i do remember in the trailer that it picks YOU up.
But that adds the question...will the Dragons be throwing boulders and crap at you?

My question is 'ok it picked it up, then what'?

Did it use it as a weapon?

Did it eat it?
