Best-unique cities.

Worst-No NPC dialog. That's something that has the potential to really kill the immersion factor. The removal of custom spells svcks too.

Best News: Skyrim announcement
Worst news: everything after that

Best- Skyrim has finally been announced.

Worst- I have to wait until November....

I think the best news is that TES V has been announced and that the release is so close. I think that there hasn't been any bad news yet. This development team has consistently produced social life draining games. Whatever they decide to do will probably appeal to me greatly.

I cant see it on steam as a pre order yet either.

I think we need some new updates, more on the official page or some new screenshots. The forums are getting a little stale this last week.

Worst:
No spears
No crossbows
No horses
No dragon ride

Best:
Everything else

Best news- There's gonna be an ES:V!

Worst news- I have to wait until November to play it

fixed

GOOD:

The artificial intelligence, the new bow system, get jobs, new sneak system, a lot of followers, red death redemption elements,

BAD:

i'm still dont get it, what's the real problem in just add an option in wich we just can disable fast travel?, maybe in some hide menu (some place where the regular players dont find it!) a lot of fans want this, and it's too easy of add

Best will of course always be the things they do to add to immersion, people doing tasks, the ability to do crafts, better graphics (this is a pretty low point BUT I will never say they don′t add to immersion), better AI and Radiant Story, perks allowing me to feel my strengths and weaknesses in certain areas more profoundly.

The worst news is most likely that I will have to change my play-style from Oblivion, I love to be this wall of defense, a huge clump of iron that can withstand blows and magic from ANYTHING but hits as hard as a newborn kitten...

I used to make my kitten hits with a 1h mace but I will have to drop the mace in Skyrim and go for shield-bashing for damage while keeping my other hand free for alteration and restoration magic.

Best news: Almost everything. =) Improved AI, hand-crafted/unique environments, more activities (such as cooking), interesting spell system and a play-to-become-your "class" gameplay system, better looking NPC's, dragons, and more! =D

Worst news: A minor thing: cannot block without shields. Oh, aaaaaaaaaand--it's coming in November ! So far away...! :cryvaultboy: Buuuut at the same time... my birthday's in Nov. Yay! :celebration:

Good: EVERYTHING
BAD: 264 more days

I don't get, why don't you just not use it, I did not in Oblivion for the first 100 hours or so.

Best: More detailed environment, Radiant Story (though I'm on edge about it)

Worst: Possible lack of spell crafting, Cannot block with one handed weapons.

BEST: Dual-Wield.

WORST: Only some NPCs have dialog trees.

They're makind another TES game


Too bad it's in skyrim.

What does this mean? You can't talk top NPC's? :facepalm:

(nm)

You can only really talk to people who are important, merchants, and quest givers. Everybody else is useless fodder now.

It means that towns will have a lot more npc's walking around in them to make it look and feel more realistic at the sacrifice of background on some npc's. I'm sure the number of npc's that will have a lot of background and personality will still be higher than any bethesda game to date, so this is welcome news to me. The reason they're doing it is probably so that the gigantic cities won't be empty, like the imperial city in oblivion. Anyway, past TES games had plenty of "one-liner" npc's so it's nothing new, don't worry about it.

On topic:
Best: New engine!
Worst: Not being able to block with 1-hand/spells (although I'm sure there are spells that will remedy this)

temptation control

There's a mod for that.

Best: That they would design a separate UI for the PC
Worst: Block

Yes a few of mine may be cojecture but my theories are usually accurate. Given that the lead director has no care for actual core gameplay mechanic depth and seems to be beligerently ignoring fans on requests I.E. spears,spellmaking(likelyl not in), and hell probably not even lanterns......ok I am outta line with that one.... unless they are not in lol.... I would say a few of my concerns are highly probable and valid. Will still buy the game and even enjoy it but it is sad to see the developers not caring about the core fanbase that made them that nice new studio and those nice pay checks.

For the record - I never used spears or spellmaking.

Those who are against fast travel and think it would be enough to just disable it are just against it to jump in with the crowd, I don′t like fast travel and I don′t think just designing the game and then letting me disable it would be enough.

Why ?

Because it seems Bethesda designs the game around if they suspect people to use fast travel or not, in Morrowind we had a lot of transportation methods beyond fast travel and there was often better care and detail in the placement of the world. It′s about designing the world without fast travel in mind, taking care of the small details and adding services that allow one to travel by other methods than foot. It′s not about just removing the option after the world has been designed...

But I hear Skyrim will be very much hand crafted meter by meter and with I′m hoping they will take into account those that want transportation methods you can access as paid services because of all the fuss. So I won′t mind as much if there will be fast travel in Skyrim as I did when I got it in Oblivion, else that would be the only bad thing I′d mention.
