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




Fantastic.

I wouldn't judge the water too harshly. Keep in mind this was more than likely done on an Xbox 360 setting, and this isn't the final build of the game.

Overall amazing trailer. This easily topples the Oblivion and Morrowind trailers.

I'm just glad the forums are back up and running lol. That was insane.

Bethesda, you did it this time. Im incledibly hyped. Never in my whole live was there something that made me dance, but this did it. This was without doubt the best video game trailer I've ever seen. Probably a trailer, for the best game ever made. Bethesda, if anyone of you reads this, thank you, you made me so happy.

Absolutely amazing. Beautiful landscapes, interesting cities, and from what we've seen of combat and spellcasting the effects and animations seem to be substantially improved as well. I believe, no, I know Skyrim will be the best Elder Scrolls game ever if you look past the nostalgia you may have for Daggerfall and Morrowind. Thanks for the trailer Bethesda, and all of your hard work! :celebration:

Oh, and look at http://i54.tinypic.com/21alpok.png. Instruments! And not-blue Dunmer.

New concept art from the website:

Is that a nirnroot I spy?! http://i.min.us/ijz6f2.png

Also you can download the trailer in HD from bethesda, found it in the source ;)
http://cms.elderscrolls.com/sites/default/files/tes/trailer_downloads/TESVSkyrim_OfficialTrailer_US_HD.mp4

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


That 2nd one looked like they were intending to use horses as pack animals or something - hope it makes it in :)

[Edit] 2nd link :facepalm:

It's got me really excited. It's good to see some of the combat in action, and the finishers. It's pretty much belayed all problems I had up to this point. I loved seeing how the NPCs worked in the villages.

Amazing! So Amazing! I love the part where he says the dragon shout with the song! The Cities we saw look awesome! But we still only got to see the Nord race. :(


Not true. I saw an elf. You have to pause in rooms and whatnot and look in the background.

Okay a more serious post:
LOOKS AWESOME.
SOUNDS AWESOME.
FEELS AWESOME.

The only "faults" I could find in the video was:
- 0:36 Really sharp, unnatural edges for the snow.
- 0:55 Very low-res dragon texture? Could be the video though.
- 1:24 Bad-looking waterfalls.

Other than that. Definitely the best piece of a game I've ever seen in my entire life. I only listed those "faults" because I care so much about this game and want it to be as good as possible.
Nonetheless, this will be the Game of the Year!
Perhaps even the Game of the Decade! :D

Thanks a lot Bethesda for making this game... :celebration:
The best RPG in the world!!! :flamethrower:

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!


It is from an unfinished game lol, the animations are a great edition to the game.


The combat play looks to be touched up a bit to:D

By far the Dragon Shout was one of the highlights of the trailer. The power behind it and even the fires from the dragon were utterly amazing.

Awesome new concept art as well!! Love it!

http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/9339/screenshot20110224at110.png from the trailer looks curiously like a Roman legionnaire... I'm hoping thats what they're going for with the Imperial Legion.

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*

I don't think that was from the 360, but PC. I haven't seen a 360 game with graphics this nice. I will be shocked (but happy) if the 360 has graphics like this, I expect about half or 3/4 of this setting, but nothing like we saw.

I am curious as to WTF is with the water flowing? Did they hire the person who did the rivers in Civ V? It looks horrible and cartoonish, really takes you out of the game. I hope Bethesda can fix this. I just want to know how did the rivers even get into the trailer? They look really bad.

wow just wow!!!!!!!!!

i loved the hole thing and when he did the dragon shout(i kinda knew it was coming because that was a "oh crap i need something good here" moment) i got a tingling sensation through my body. the shout was really well done... im just hoping its a different voice for each race saying it.

i was impressed with all the finishing moves. all of them looked well done and constructed. i especially like the stealth ones because well.... i like assassin players over all :ninja:

i could only make out a few races though. races being: nord, (im guessing some of them were imperial and breton) in the tavern assassination seen you can see a altmer and im not sure but to the far right it might be a redguard. in the seen where the hooded character is walking down the road ahead of him looks to be a bosmer.

over all im impressed with the sound of him running through the woods. very imersive. and the clothing and armor designs looks amazing. though i cant wait to see the higher res pc images and game play.... should put the consules to shame. :evil:
