Expanding on this, is hand to hand even in?

Will Unarmed be a viable specialization? Because in OB and Morrowind, unarmed svcked. A lot.

OK, this is fun.

Is there an NPC named Guri Nail-Face? If so does he have a nail lodged in his face? Can we drive a nail through our character's face?

Elves aren't the only victims of militant, Nordic jingoism. The Bretons and Redguards have contested with the Nords for millennia. Does racism manifest, toward the half-elf Bretons and black skinned, alien Ra Gada? Or, are the Nords given the sensitive treatment, because you're afraid of not being politically correct?

On the subject of food:

Is there an eating animation?

Is there armor fat characters can't wear?

Will someone in Bethesda confirm Alduin is going to eat the world, not just symbolically burn it, but he has awakened to actually eat it?

So, Alduin is remarkably similar to Cthulhu, in that both are sleeping, primordial terrors, whose awakening means the world will certainly be eaten. No one fights them; it's just damn impossible. Fortunately, the chances of Alduin waking are slim. Unfortunately, he's waking. If we have no hope of fighting Alduin, is our only chance to eat him instead?

Will there be anything different than just slaughterfish in Skyrim or will the water be the same old, useless waste of space?

1) Will there be a VIEWABLE BODY in first person view?

2) Is there an improvement in the cloth simulation? (is it dynamic, moving with the wind and movements?)

This is the 2 must important questions i have!

Will not ask anything like mounts and otherthings that i know it′s not the time to answere.

Thanks!

mine is a simple yes or no:

since the champion is dragonborn will said champion be crowned emperor at the end of the main quest?

What was the most difficult/annoying feature to implement that you think will go unappreciated by players? Most appreciated, easiest?

It would be great to hear the response from multiple people. Thanks!

I question if it exists anymore also, hopefully they tried to improve it in someway. I hope I can set one blade to my right hand and one hand have nothing equipped so I can throw a jab in after I swing to keep some distance.

How will relationships work? Will there be a system alike to Oblivion in which you just adjust the person's disposition, or will there be more depth to them? Will we be able to
go places and do activities with them? How about relations of the different six?

Will there be gambling games ?

Cause if there are, this will be the last time i buy one of these games. I know you didnt make New Vegas, but the inclusion of card games was by far the worst part about that game (besides the bugs of course)

What was wrong with the card games? You're never forced to partake in them.

What kind of activities will be present in taverns?

You're not necessarily forced, but you more or less are if you wanted to get all of the implants. So each time through the game you end up playing a rigged game of blackjack for hours on end. If i want to play blackjack, i will either

1) go to a casino

2) go online and play for free on any one of a million websites that offer it (or go to an online gambling site and play for money)

3) download one of the the casino games on xbox live

4) get a game going with my friends (poker, probably not going to find anyone who wants to play blackjack at home)

I could also play new vegas or that other cowboy game, red dead or whatever its called.

Point is, its a waste of disc space and im sure in a world infested with dragons there will be little time for people to waste on playing an electronic game of cards

Will Steam be used for DRM management?

1. Are there unarmed finishing moves?
2. Do weapons have visual que's if they are enchanted? (like them glowing different colors in Oblivion)
3. Do perks have prerequisits? (like level or skill level similar to Fallout 3)
4. Are there many non combat focused quests?

I am more of a mage class myself. I saw in the skyrim preview trailer a burst of fire around the player sort of like on fable but more i would say epic. Can we look forward to new magic spells or tomes that grant us magic powers? Are there different spell classes like if we wish to profess only in fire spells would that be strictly a spell sheet or would it be combined into elmentalist type sheets like on Diablo with their sorceress how they had strictly fire ice or lightning even though you had the ability to choose all three? Also will it be possible to merge spells sort of I heard in an interview that you were sort of tampering with that ability so I was curious if I could merge ice with fire and lob it at an enemy? Lastly with magic I have seen whats in and out but ultimately will there be strictly Magic as a whole perk sheet or individually like i major in the mysticism and I am granted a special perk specifically set for mysticism?

ah now we can ask questions about the game? good.

what are the limitations of weapon forging? for instance can you customize the weapons aesthetically?

will argonians mostly be found in the southern parts of skyrim and near the morrowind border or will they be at any old city in skyrim?

will there be an adoring fan like npc in skyrim? (so we can unrelenting force dragon shout him off of high hrothgar :whistling: )

and lastly (even though i know he most likely will be there) will M'aiq the liar make his return to give voice to our most foolish ideas that didnt make it?

Will NPC's be aware of my erm...lack of clothing?
:V

Don't fret readers, I've done my fair share of serious questions already.

Ok, I'm not sure if anyone has asked these questions yet.

1. Can you write on parchment?

2. Will there be tons of skill books like MW?

3. While creating your character at the beginning (probably in a jail cell) will you be able to zoom out on your character?

4. Will the Morag Tong reappear?

5. Will M'aiq the Lair reappear? (Probably a dumb question)

Thanks for doing what your doing Bethesda!

Where and when are you going to answer these questions?

They said on facebook, "in a few weeks", and i think they are going to lock and sticky a thread here.

:foodndrink:

Are you considering including any sort of optional survival/hardcoe mode requiring the PC to eat, drink and sleep or suffer penalties, similar to FNV hardcoe mode?

Would you consider releasing an official Bethesda 2048x2048 (or 1056x1056) high res texture pack for Skyrim? For the past few Bethesda releases using the Gamebryo engine, the scaled textures look pretty bad when playing on 1920x1080 resolution. The only solution has been to use third party 2048x2048 texture packs, such as Qarl's. However this results in a massive drag in the load times and some frame rate reduction. Bioware recently released an official high res texture pack for DA2, which tremendously improved the appearance at higher resolutions, but was optimized in a way that did not significantly reduce frame rates or load times.

Will Skyrim implement ambient occlusion (SSAO)?

My all time favorite quests for any RPG i've ever played are "Whodunit?" and "Paranoia" - will we see some Skyrim quests that approach this level of brilliant writing? Hopefully lots of great quests like this!

Oblivion and Morrowind are perhaps the only games I've ever played where a single playthrough can last for hundreds or thousands of very enjoyable hours. Will Radiant Story allow us to continue playing a single playthrough indefinitely? In other words, will the Radiant Story functionality continue to generate new quests based on factors such as, the disposition of certain NPCs, whether the PC has visited a certain dungeon recently, etc.?

Also, will dungeons continue to respawn (enemies, loot) after a certain period of time? (this is a follow up to the previous question about Radiant Story and being able to continue a single playthrough indefinitely)

Can you talk a little bit about how the Radiant Story features will affect the end user Creation Kit for those of us who want to create content mods?

Will the Necromancers be a joinable faction this time? Are there any cool Necromancy spells we can learn?

Will the Adoring Fan make an appearance? Is he non-essential this time?

Will we learn spells in the same way as Oblivion (purchase them)? or will there be perks that are essentially new spells?

Will we be able to improve skills by hiring trainers?

Will we need to sleep to raise our level?

Will there be any game mechanic that prevents us from repeatedly casting spells in order to raise our skill level? I loved Oblivion, but I sincerely hope that I won't find myself taking a break with the cast button on my keyboard taped down, waiting for a "bound dagger" spell to raise my conjuration level sufficiently to qualify for new perks.

Will we be able to combine many of the spell effects or only a few? For example, we know that we can combine Frost and a Rune spell to create a protective Frost Rune, but can we experiment with some crazy combinations for unexpected effects? For example, telekinesis in left hand and frost in the right hand = something new?

Will we be able harm enemies with Telekinesis? Will it be similar to the Telekinesis plasmid in Bioshock in the sense that we would be able to pick up large objects and hurl them at enemies, or hurl the enemies themselves?

Will we be able to combine some of the dragon shout words for new unexpected effects?

Will we be able to craft arrows?

Were the archery changes in Skyrim influenced by Duke Patrick's SCA Combat Archery mod? In a previous interview, you mentioned a mod called "Better Bows"; however, the only popular mod that seems to fit the description of these changes seems to be Duke Patrick's. (slow draw time, scarcity of arrows, enemies one-shotting PC, possibility of being interrupted, etc.)


Finally, please, please have some mercy on us and tell us WTH http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1186301-new-mystery-pics-thread-6/page__view__findpost__p__17621887__fromsearch__1 are. It is driving many people crazy.

What is Todd's favorite race in The Elder Scrolls. It can be any of them, Nord, Sload, Ka Po Tun, Dragon.

Hello and thank you very much for not being THAT tight-lipped about details....

Will every entrance to every building, house, cave etc. have a load switch for the interior like oblivion?

Is there locational damage in Skyrim?
