Behind the Scenes of skyrim

Post » Wed Sep 15, 2010 4:18 am

What a wonderful video! :celebration:

I think the most impressive thing for me was seeing Bethesda's on site recording studio. I hope this means that there will be a large number and variety of voice actors with MUCH more dialogue than Oblivion...

The game map poster had a wealth of information on it, as did the whiteboard.

Based on that, it seems that Skyrim will have rivers and lots of different environments to explore.

The devs are using a construction set...Does this mean we're getting one too? :goodjob:

I saw some concept art of an Azura statue near the beginning. Lots of cool concept art.

Let the video dissection begin! ^_^

Edit -- Anyone notice the numbered grid around the frame of the map? Are those grids the same size as in Oblivion? Can we now figure out how big Skyrim is compared to Oblivion?

Werewolves have been confirmed. If you look at the meat slide one piece is labeled as such.

And horkers.


Sad face. Maybe not. Now i kind of think it's something else. Anyone wanna upload screens.

Based on the video, crafting is in. And it sounds really nice. Check it out on 1:50.

"Button help" on the bottom. Does that mean that help will be politely suggested, and not inflicted by pop-up ?

Did you guys pause and anolyze the whiteboard yet? There are some very very promising ideas for stealth up there.

I am. :D

Detected, undetected, caution, danger. It does look like there'll be more layers to it than in Oblivion.

Looks like there's a new stealth system in place.

EDIT: Darn, ninja'd.

I like how they suddenly don't care what gets shown off now. :P

But also notice that there is a big blue X through it, and it says "wrong ____" next to it. I dont think we can confirm anything on the whiteboard. Too many contradictions.

Look at the wall at 3:52!!

It looks like the STORYBOARD for some of the trailers!!!! It is right outside the office of the EDITOR that handles all the trailers.

I can make out a SHIP (looks like a small viking transport boat) and some MOUNTAINS/CITIES views.

If you pause it around 3:52 1/2 you can see what looks like an Orc of some kind.

Can't wait to see THAT trailer!! :celebration:

Does that say goat meat or guar meat? I saw horker meat very clearly.

EDIT: Also, on 708, is that a werewolf or a khajiit?

So devs, is the food as good as it looked? o.O


Secondly, that studio looks like an amazing place to work.

Seems to me that werebears are in too. If not, the bears in Skyrim surely are terrifying!

The stealth levels look like the same stealth alert levels used in Fallout 3.

What do you mean it hasn't grown?


A forum goer stated in the last thread that Skyrim was creeping into Northern Morrowind.

But it ain't :sadvaultboy:

Just sayin'

Guys I think we should take the whiteboard with a grain of salt. There are too many contradictions and conflicting ideas.

It's the same size as in the Oblivion map.

I have a decent pic of the map I captured and fixed in Photoshop. There are some things that are unreadable but I did straighten it out. Not sure where to post pictures online though... just never post them really..

Assuming this makes the final cut, you can sort alchemy ingredients by effects now!

I'd watch the video again, but it just keeps whining to me that it can't find the video on GI's website.

Where exactly are people getting "Creation Kit" from? I don't recall hearing it, but I may have not noticed while going crazy over Bethesda's magnificent office. Was it shown at any point?
