Hey. To those who played Oblivion and Morrowind a fair bit im sure we all did a few of the wall crazy things, didn't we? But this was was generally after we srs'd.
All these dragons, great beasts, civil wars and an evil god - very scary and gives a sense of urgency. Or does it?
I recently said "y'know what, screw being a mage, screw being a warrior, screw being a ranger and a rogue...im playing a moron!" and so images of surfing down cliffs on bucklers and fist fighting dragons and mammoths invaded the land of serious and reduced it to a land of rubble before colonising it.

It's rare for me to do this first time around for a game...infact, it's the first time. Is this a mutual feeling amongst the community or am I going mad?

I got so bored on Oblivion one time I tried to skim pieces of storm atronach in lava. :intergalactic:

It didn't work but I tried.

No. The first person I ever played as in Fallout 3 was someone who couldn't fight at all and fainted at the sight of blood.

you left out shooting spears out of crossbows while you turn into a werebear/shark/wolf/whatever

Balrog vs Adoring Fan....


ON DIVE ROCK!@#!@#!@#!$!@#$!@#

sounds like the plot to pathfinder

Nahh. My first playthrough of FO:NV, I very consciously gave myself an Intelligence of 2. The discovery that I could ask Dr. Usanagi if she sold plants made it all worthwhile.

There is no hand-to-hand.

And no, for me it doesn't create a sense of urgency. It just makes the game more epic.

Well, I'm going to use double shields from the start. Might be hard to kill things before Shield Bash, so I might use fist and a shield combo at star. Ofcourse I would celebrate greatly when I get shield bash and can use two shields.

Lol I played a bum that just collects cans and similar waste the occasional battery...oooh....surprising the only problem how ritch u can be come on tin cans alone lol.

Yes, you are. Quite a serious case too, if I'm any judge. But the best people are at least a little mad... and your general concept has occurred to me more than once. The beauty of TES is that you can play that character, or anything else.



There's no skill for it, but we can perform unarmed attacks in Skyrim.

I'm glad race returns in dialogue, but I wonder if "subtle," or however Todd described it, means there are no dialogue paths, specific to one's race. Will race impact NPC cooperation with the PC?

(I'm pretty sure I asked that question in the fan interview. Something like it, at least.)

Someone is out of touch.

Proof? Hand to hand is probably one of the remaining stealth skills.

Unfortunately, http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1176076-polearms-confirmed/page__st__20__p__17389912#entry17389912


I don't think I could play a moron the first time through. Or any time, unless I was in a particular mood. But that's the beauty of TES. You can!

h2h skill is out, been confirmed, some people made rants on this forum when announced so just do a search and you'll probably find the sources.

In F1/2 you couldn't even speak properly with that intelligence.
Would be surprised if Es would add that...
"So you're Dovahkiin...the world's saviour?"
"Duh guun, hum."

I would love a mod that enabled sliding down mountains on your shield. In Oblivion, I felt like I spent way too much time carefully falling down cliff sides in order to mitigate damage. Actually...A hang glider/parachute would work just as well for that particular issue, and either one of them would be very entertaining. Personally, I'll play a relatively "human" character. Been adventuring for 24 straight hours? Seems like you could use some sleep. Been fighting dragons for a week? Maybe chat up the local wenches. Just got out of jail? Maybe lay low for a while, hang out in public places and behave, but always plotting toward my next big crime.

I spent a whole lot of time in Oblivion just trying to complete as many quests as I could. I used the heck out of fast travel, and eventually just stopped dealing with money so that I could focus on quests. It wasn't until I was dead set on finishing some questline all in one go that the merchants in the Market District were complaining to me about Thoronir. I said I'd talk to him, and then I did, and then I left to do more quests. I would always end up back in the Imperial City at odd hours. I would always notice the grave robber in Green Emperor Way. I would see Thoronir on his way to the tavern, hours before he would inevitably meet with the grave robber. Then I would leave because I had more pressing matters to attend to. Mankar Camoran wasn't going to defeat himself. Martin needed his protector. The King of Worms was on the rise. The Blackwood Company ran rampant. Count Umbranox longed for his old life. The chapel of Anvil was torn apart, and no one had brought about the revenge that was owed to it. The Greymarch was approaching, day by day...

As I played Oblivion over and over, I somehow got it in my head that there was an ideal way to play. I somehow got it in my head that certain quests were more important than others. Eventually, I came to realize that there was but one thing that really mattered: Henantier was stuck in his dreams, and he was scared, and he was suffering, and only you could help him. After you saved him, then from then on, your character could make all their own decisions, rather than trying to deal with priorities.

No, Hand to hand is not confirmed to be out. It's was actually hinted by the producer that it is in.

While you are correct that the skill is out, there will definitely still be hand to hand if you so choose.

The production director himself said "Hand to hand combat is a viable option, if you wanted to be a monk that's something you can definitely do".

My guess is it will be merged with another skill set. Much like athletics and acrobatics. And I'm sure there will be perks involving it.

Hi Im Dovahkiin Knoxville And Welcome To [censored]!!!

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The first dragon I kill, I'm cutting off his wings and goin' hang-gliding.

:toughninja:

I wonder how many of us will try to jump off a cliff or tower onto a dragon's back or a mammoth. Since it's been confirmed that we can't ride either one.
