Backwards Windmill in Trailer : V

» Thu Feb 24, 2011 7:37 am

Why is the windmill going backwards in the trailer?

it doesn't matter which way it goes, it does the same thing.

The windmill is practicing its right to free will. You aren't the boss of windmills, you can't tell it which way is forward or backwards.

according to physics, it should be going the other way

I agree it should be spinning the other way, but I guess this can be fixed in no time. In fact I guess it's already fixed, this problem has been pointed as soon as the trailer went online.

This has already been pointed out before, it's a valid mistake, easily fixed.

The original video had all the people walking backwards and it started from the top right corner..but they thought it would be better if it started from the bottom left, so they reversed it and the only noticeable difference was the windmill.

who cares really...thats kind of ridiculous if it bugs you that much

You know how the human brains work...it wasn't a problem for many, until someone pointed it out. Now it would really itch because I know it is there...

Yeah, its most likely an easy fix. It was probably just one of those "whoops!" moments.

Right. It was brought up a day or two after the trailer was released, I'm sure it's been addressed by now.

lol i noticed that in the trailer aswell but the flat water rapids bothered me more

If this hasn't been fixed (and I don't see why, it's a very simple fix) then I shall regret people ever having brought it up on the forums. If they hadn't I never would have known and it woudn't bug me. :meh:

Still, as I said, it's a very simple fix and if the dev's haven't spotted one of the threads or been informed otherwise I'll be surprised. :tops:

haha it could be worse, Dragon Age has this thing in the final game as well, watch the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Pvf9rTI_ts (from 0:17 - 0:20) and http://images.wikia.com/dragonage/images/6/68/Windmill.png of that mill.

As before its not backwards. IF the blades of a windmill face outward instead of inward they will rotate the other way around when the wind blows.

Maybe they played the clip backwards...It has been done before.

You mean in reality the blades can pull instead of pushing? I never seen a windmill myself, but it sounds weird.

I thought it's the orientation of the sails that gives the direction.

OMG you serious?

Bethesda sort this out now, this is unnaceptable in this day and age. Seriously get it sorted or im not buying.

» Thu Feb 24, 2011 10:04 pm

I'm sure it will be fixed, now that we've seen it we can't unsee it

First thing to do in the game, go check the windmill

According to Earth physics. We don't know for sure that Nirn physics work the same way, now do we?

Nope. It really can only go one way, and it's backwards in the trailer.

According to Earth physics. We don't know for sure that Nirn physics work the same way, now do we?

Well, let me put it this way. If Nirn physics allow air to exert forces in the wrong direction, then why do the characters even have lungs?

That's it, I'm not playing until they fix this :rofl:
