Same ole', same ole'.
Honestly, watching interviews at this point is completely pointless. EVERY question is the same, EVERY answer is the same.
Just gonna wait till 11-11-11.

Find Howard an interesting fellow barring the [censored]ization of Fallout but doesn't his statement on the PAX demo contradict others such as the northern portion not being available in the demo due to players not being able to get there fast enough in the demo time.

I'm sure they must have blocked some it off to prevent major spoilers like main characters, the monuments in the game, more important areas, etc.

We should all become the ultimate Flowerpickers now to make Todd laugh a little at himself. xD

-DL :chaos:

Sorry but maybe next time the poster will say more information in the title about where they found the video. Not my fault.

While http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxFOOEOlBF8 is playing?

Is there a YouTube link? This won't play on my phone.

I haven't watched the video yet (can't get it to load on my phone), but what did he say about preparing us for glitches?

Transcript please?

I died a little on the inside when he said that. Just a little.

The games gonna be great, but I wanna be a hth fighter. It's gonna be hard if there's no way to get better at hth fighting Todd. I love ya dude, but you keep given me low blows.

Good to hear the game keeps track of how every single NPC feels about you. I was hoping for this but not assuming.

Ya know what I like best about this interview? There was no interviewer asking messy questions on screen.

Here you go...had to listen again.

Todd's saying how big the game is and it's hardcoe and they layer in the complexity so we're not overwhelmed. That it's an in-depth fantasy world where we can do what we want and have the game reward us for whatever we do and how they want Skyrim to deliver on whatever character we have in our head. They try to make the game so we can go for whatever kind of character we want and sometimes that “creates a little bit of a mess, you know the player does this, this and this that we didn't expect but we think that percentage of time that something gets messy or weird, the payoff, because it lets you do all this stuff is greater. We give up control to the player.”

Added: I'm ok with this. I have a lot of patience for these games because they are so complex. I do want lots of bug-testing before release though.

:tes:

Nothing new here, moving on.

(Thanks for posting though)

Thread FearTheLiving posted is to the youtube vid of the GT interview.

Thank you!

Thanks Kicenna, everything sounds great

Can the game dynamically generate voice acting, too?

Thank you!

Go to 4:33 that guy gets owned! :flamethrower:

At 2 min in.

"We want to have the game reward you for what you want to do. So the people have this idea of the character they want to play in their head and we want Skyrim to deliver on that. So if they're gonna decide that 'I gonna be, like, the ultimate warrior', 'I'm gonna be the ultimate wizard/thief/assassin' and all this...."

I am gonna hold him to his word.

To be honest, Oblivion failed to deliver on this very thing. You can do just fine as a warrior type. You can get by pretty darn good as the mage type. Assassin type...not so much. Even working on your alchemy, coating your blades, sneaking up to get a crit and using long sword for maximum damage with the crit multiplier..you quickly go from assassinating the person to taking out a good chunk and finishing them off with 1 or 2 blows to little more than tapping them on their shoulder and fighting them fighter style (block, swing, swing, repeat). Of course since you didn't do it from the start, your endurance and thus your hit points are lower than they would be if you played as a fighter.

Unless you maxed out your sneak and it is a remotely dark environment. Then you can simply crit, crit, crit, crit, they die.

Which is why I would prefer if the act of sneaking was more in the hand of the player and not the AI/skill system and is why that sneaking up on someone with a stealth build should be a challenge on par with fighting them with a fighter build. So that once the challenge is over and you are successful, they end up dead at your feet. Hence assassins actually being able to assassinate someone and not fight with the npc toe to toe regardless.

Say what you like but you have your preferred way of playing and I have my preferred way. That was always the beauty of Morrowind and Oblivion. The freedom to play the type of char you want to play. Only with the leveling system and how enemies leveled with you in Oblivion, you really couldn't play certain ways and with certain character builds.

Like taking sneak as a primary and lock picking. Those two alone would cause you to level so fast that entering a dungeon to do any quest meant you were overwhelmed by how much more powerful the enemy was over you. Taking too many non combat skills basically made the game unplayable. Hence cutting the freedom to make the character you like.

What happens?

is there a youtube link?

gametrailers doesnt work for me... :banghead:

Thanks
