Visually very impressive (especially being from the XBox version), but it's the gameplay that counts. I'll be hoping for some gameplay footage too before release. So far: :drool:

The guy sitting next to the lute-playin bard.... High Elf?

He/she looks cocky enough for it.

Stunning. Jawdropping. Amazing.

Bethesda, take a bow.

What does everyone think of the animations?

At 1:35ish he hits in the AIR (doesnt even come close to the enemy) with the swords, making the other guy bleed... So, meh... But otherwise, pretty nice!

The Trailer brought tears to my eyes when the main choral theme came on. WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE HOW COOL IT LOOKS!!!!!
It has proven to me that EVERYTHING that i am going to play from now till 11.11.11 is a MERE FILLER compared to the GRAND ADVENTURE TO COME!!!!

Bethesda DEFINITELY got a winner here. DEFINITELY GAME OF THE YEAR STUFF!!!!

GO BETHESDA!!!!!!!!!!! YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree about the flowing water, it doesn't look very good. It was just a texture, and not a very sharp one at that. Nothing reflective. It looked almost cartoony. Overall we don't have to expect miracles when it comes to the sharpness of the textures, but the rest looks fantastic. Especially the lighting, shadows and all the different particle effects all over the place.

Leave the super high resolution textures to the modders.

You are correct. The water seems really...off. Really that's my only qualm about the trailer.

What does everyone think of the animations?

Fantastic.

Are you sure that wasn't in your head? I've been rewatching that part over and over and there's not nearly enough time for anyone to react. :shrug:

I don't think I am, she's staring right at you and you slice the guys throat right in front of her. But then again, the flinch I think I see happens less than half a second before it goes to the next scene, as if she just started to react to what she saw. Meh, even if I am imagining it, it doesn't make this trailer any less awesome.

This. Was. Incredible. I keep watching it over and over again, and I still get chills running down my spine the entire time. The graphics, the audio, the score... it's all just wonderful.

My three favorite parts from the trailer:
1) The Dragon Shout
2) The sound that the dragon makes just as it starts to breathe fire
3) The spell graphics

I cannot wait for this November!

OMG! I just have to say - that high elf lady looks soooo gorgeous! She actually looks ELVEN! Not just like a human with pointy ears...WOW! I hope dunmer look that good. I can't wait to play this game.

Oh my gosh!! Just seen this, was wondering why the forums were going so slow, I really liked the look of the towns and everything! So cool!

» Thu Jan 13, 2011 6:18 am

It really looks like they took some inspiration from DA:O's first trailer... Which is good!

» Thu Jan 13, 2011 2:55 pm

Haha, that high elf in the bar looks like a na'vi.

» Thu Jan 13, 2011 2:24 pm

Epic! In my opinion trailer is very well done and does show good amount of gameplay. Dragons look amazing.

» Thu Jan 13, 2011 4:43 pm

So now I need a clean pair of pants. The game looks amazing on the 360 and I can only imagine how amazing it will look on the PC *drools*

» Thu Jan 13, 2011 8:50 am

Absolutely floored. The screenshots did it no justice. Great work Bethesda!

» Thu Jan 13, 2011 2:45 am

I think this will keep me sated for a couple months.

» Thu Jan 13, 2011 2:06 am

I'm still at a loss for words... So many awesome things happening at once...

» Thu Jan 13, 2011 2:12 am

About the water guys, i don't think it's wrong or anything. Notice water in scenes other than the waterfall: it looks great. In the waterfall scene i think they tried to make the water look foamy or something. So i wouldn't worry about it. Fantastic trailer, anyways!

» Thu Jan 13, 2011 6:41 am

I'm sick of that [censored] helmet, but otherwise I'm blown away.

Favourite part? First person finishing moves! I was so worried that they would force us into third person for those.

» Thu Jan 13, 2011 10:53 am

Wow, that was amazing. What epic music - and that dragon shout made my hair stand up. Awesome, Bethesda!!!

Works great in Quicktime for second by second scrubbing with the left/right arrow keys!

Anyone spot the Nirnroot at 1:45?

Edit: Bah, ninja'd haha - Trailer is amazing, cannot stop replaying it.

» Thu Jan 13, 2011 6:00 am

Ok. i'm back, is it normal to be tearing up? My brothers sitting there while I shake like a idiot. I think I will go contain myself and run through my head what I just saw.

» Thu Jan 13, 2011 1:26 pm

The shot of the guy walking through the village in his cloak was awesome, and where the wolf is running and the archer is lining up his shot and one thing I noticed was a two handed spell at 1:43. Interesting...
