What do you want? A PERFECT game? No game is ever going to be perfect. Besides, I'll bet $10 that a modder will fix this.

Really, I was thinking more about here comes the rain again.

I think one of the reasons Bethesda's games -TES games in particular- get so many criticisms such as this is that they get so close to perfection (and with so much freedom) that the biggest complaints we can think of are minor. (usually)

This is especially true compared to the other games being released lately, to me TES games are in a league of their own.

Anyways, this would be nice if they had finally fixed it. But I would not be surprised if I'd have to download a mod to fix it, if I wanted to that is. :shrug:

LMAO

I don't know why you'd assume it was bugged.

I'm pretty sure you're going to be able to use that shout indoors, so it would make sense for the effect to follow you if you went inside while still fighting.

They did, hours ago~ Im confident it has been fixed~ But if not... For shame~ *punches Xbox for holding back games*

I really doubt it. That would be immensely stupid.

Why? It's a magic Dragon Shout. It's meant to be used as a weapon. Indoors and outdoors. Makes no sense for there to be a shout that's only usable if your enemies are in an area where you would "realistically" see lightning.

And, just so we're clear, it's magic.

I know of the British idiom 'storm in a teacup' but it hardly seems appropriate in this case.

Having a storm while inside a dungeon just doesn't really make sense to me. I mean, didn't you receive a special 'greater power' that allowed you to change the weather after you became the new MadGod on oblivion?
And using the acquired power while inside a cave on the Shivering Isles didn't do anything to the atmosphere of a place you couldn't realistically see rain and/or sun.


Of course this is a different game, but it's the closes approximation i can give you.

Right. Because that was the power to change the weather. Not the power to summon a magical storm that shoots bolts of lightning at people.

You aren't actually manipulating the weather here. You're creating the storm out of nothing. You can't do a take-it-back shout.

It would look very stupid to have rain and especially lighting coming through the solid roof of a cave. Even for magic, that doesn't make sense. If you're going to utilize magical lightning, why not fire it directly from your hand? I believe the dragon shout magically alters the weather, but the weather itself is not magical.

I would qualify lightning that selectively strikes bad guys as "magical" lightning. But that's just me.

Like I said, the weather is magically altered. The lighting is guided by magic, but the lightning itself is, well, lightning.

Yes it has been in the game for years now, but it's something very small, maybe if you stood 100 feet away from someone and you could hit them with a sword could this post be worth having 4 pages of complaining.

Several people have confirmed that it has been fixed, also someone else confirmed that the ragdoll effect on the giant has been fixed. So can't remember who said it, but someone said why would they release one version messed up, but then fix the other? Maybe because it would make the game better? If it's a small bug I'm sure beth doesn't mind fixing it, if it makes the game more interesting and more immersive I'm sure they will fix it.

So all you haters can just wait till the game comes out before you hate cause obviously no one knows what the finished game is really like cause IT HASN'T COME OUT.

Yes it manipulates the weather. Okay sure you can imagine it works in a cave but your enemies are protected by the giagntic mountain between it and the sky.

:lmao: pretty much this

Yes, of course, but in the same way you use your magical abilities in the Shivering Isles to change the weather, you use your voice to invoke a storm.

The power of the voice in Skyrim is just as 'magical' as using a spell is on Oblivion,


In oblivion's case you could create a storm with seemingly no clouds for miles so you could argue you are technically 'crating a storm out of nothing.'
Of course it didn't create lightning bolts that deliberately seeks out your foes to harm them, but it's food for thought.

Even though I still see no way for people to use such a "high level shout" on an enclosed space, and even if we are able I'm willing to bet it will looks quite hilarious :celebration: .

The hell with the rain. Show me some damn city life!

All I have to say is that even Minecraft has rain that is properly done so if it's still falling through the roof and cliff sides then that's sad. :confused:

I have yet to see the confirmation you people are blathering on about. Please come back with a link if you want to play that card.

I have provided my evidence. Where is yours?

Considering rain has always pretty much been streaks pasted against the screen rather than actual dynamic rain I can see why it does this.

It's a Dragon Shout. What's the problem?

I keep hearing it comes through the roof but that is only if you are outside under a cover or standing under a ruin so I just think of it as the wind blowing it at me. Its not like comes through houses or shops or anything. If it does I want to see some footage of one TES game it comes inside a house cause I never in my life saw that on MW or OB.

technology still has limitations, people cant expect games to behave exactly like real life just cuz the graphics are amazing

early alpha build. we've only seen one other video of the rain in use, and for that one(QuakeCon, btw) Todd didn't actually go through the building, so there's no way to confirm if that's been changed. they did fix the giant's fall though, so that is a good sign they've corrected a few bugs since then
