Announcing the Skyrim Fan Interview # 4 : V - Skyrim

» Sat Aug 28, 2010 4:54 pm

I have a few questions:

Todd: You said that Arrows were harder to come by. Please Elaborate? Does this mean we will see less Archers, or the same amount of Archers but with Less Arrows?

Todd: Will we see a wider variety of Distinguishing Armor? Like in Morrowind?

Todd: Will we see throwing weapons this time around?

Todd: Could you elaborate on "We have spears, but not in the traditional sense"?

Thankyou

Will you have to ask a person their name like in Arena, or will you magically know their name like the other Elder Scrolls games?

in skyrim, are we able to join any of skyrim's political bodies like we could join the Hlallu, Telvanni, and all of those in Morrowind?

also, the environments in the current screenshots look very realistic. I personally preferred the surreal environment in morrowind such as the mushroom trees, nix hounds, etc. are there any places in skyrim that are at all like that?

will cliffracers come back? I loved those things

will we be able to live outdoors in skyrim? like maybe a carry-able bedroll or the option to sleep instead of wait when we press the "wait" button?

Will the giants speak the common language, or only Giantish?

Mr. Howard,
IN Oblivion to level up your character you had to practice your main attributes in order to do this. In Fall Out, you gained experience by doing all most anything and when you levelled up you would then choose what to upgrade instead of having to upgrade by practising. I was wondering if Skyrim would be like Oblivion or Fall Out in this respect. I proffered Oblivions upgrade style to that of Fall Out.
Sincerely Noah - B.

I have an actual question:

ZOMG can we ride dragonz? :drool:

But seriously i'd like to know about the armor system in Skyrim.

» Sat Aug 28, 2010 7:43 am

How often will the fighter's guild hire a consult from the mages guild when they run into a magical situation that is beyond their abilities?

» Sat Aug 28, 2010 2:05 am

I have only two questions:
Will all the DLCs be available for PS3 owners or will it be like in Oblivion in which we only could get two DLCs Knights of the Nine & Shivering Isles? :banghead: Because certainly this is a big issue.

And if the answer is that we will get all DLCs, will they be realeased at the same time?

Can guild missions fail due to unforeseen circumstances or the mistakes of npc's? If so, can the npc's be held to blame for losing you money?

» Sat Aug 28, 2010 11:57 am

Will the thieves guild be tedious and bland Robin Hoods, or charming and cruel villains?

» Sat Aug 28, 2010 12:01 pm

How will speed work? Will it be based off perks related to your armor skill (are those even in?) Or is there another system you're working on that covers the things like carry weight, balance (by that I mean the chance of staggering as a result of enemy attacks, previously governed by the agility attribute), run speed, etc?

Hi um will the weapons and armor be the same as they were in Oblivion (Iron,Steel,Dwarven,eetc) or will there be more variations and types and also will dwarven enimies make it back into game?

What does Mara's role as the handmaiden of Kyne entail as she is the concubine of Alduin?

» Sat Aug 28, 2010 11:30 am

Is there going to be Yarn?

And lettuce?

» Sat Aug 28, 2010 5:41 pm

will characters expressions better match there emotion and over all tone? (in oblivion luciens expression makes it look like he didnt really care that you killed the members of the black hand despite the fact he was overcome with rage)

» Sat Aug 28, 2010 9:31 am

What does Mara's role as the handmaiden of Kyne entail as she is the concubine of Alduin?

Mara MIGHT be his concubine. UESP says: "Depending on the religion, she is either married to Akatosh or Lorkhan, or the concubine of both." Akatosh=Alduin Lorkhan=Shor (Kyne is widow of Shor)

"Mara, Goddess of Love, patron of the bountiful earth, and source of mortal compassion and understanding." also this does not sound as someone who would condone such acts as Alduin's which points towards a seperation of the nordic and emperial pantheon as the equivalent gods not being the same entities.

Will fast travel require a spell and only when you have discovered the area first?

» Sat Aug 28, 2010 6:22 am

» Sat Aug 28, 2010 10:20 am

And lettuce?

And Pickles?

Will the beast races get physics-enabled tails?

» Sat Aug 28, 2010 2:16 pm

How will the look sensitivity on the console version be different from Oblivion? Will we be able to look around even faster? I hope so B)

Will Fast Travel be exactly the same like Oblivion? Or will there be minor changes? Elaborate!

I'm wondering about this whole "magic" thing.

Is it like D&D, where you learn a spell, use the spell's requirements (verbal/somatic/ingredient) then the spell is cast; or like Dragon Age, where all you have to do is will the spell into existence, gaining new spells by practicing a certain type of spell ie: casting a fireball spell would eventually lead you to being able to cast a flame tempest spell?

Also, are there different kinds of magic? Runes? Rituals? Evocation?

1. Will pauldrons be seprate from the chest peice?
2. Will we have a right/left version of gauntlets/bracers?
