The HD download suddenly disappeared from Elderscrolls.com? I downloaded it in HD right after the timer reached zero but for some reason that file committed suicide, where can I download it again in HD?

Holy crap that was awesome. Great vid this is going to be a long 8 months. I'll have to watch it again in slow motion so that I can get more info.

To summarize, everyone is either crying tears of joy or dealing with a surprise down there

Never ceases to amaze me how people can still find things to complain about. How do you people live your lives being this negative all the time?

Anyways, I'm just happy the water is finally flowing down hill!! It looks good enough for me and we still have lots of time for polish.

the only part i didn't like is when the dragon flew by at the end the animation didn't look correct, but im sure they will fix this by the release date.

1:32 is it the blade of woe that i see?

yes there was definitely blood squirting from nothing at one point

so many people posting so quickly, i dont know if these were mentioned yet

theres a rock with a face at 1:15 in the grass by the deer
the bright glowing water plants at 1:44 ala nirnroot?
looks like you can see your breath at 1:51 (but lots of fog and snow blowing around)

and horse at 1:20 somebody mentioned it already

Hey, Bethesda, could you guys release an MP3 of the song? Please? :biggrin:

Thank you so much for your hard work! Everyone truly appreciates what you guys and gals are doing every single day!

Btw also wanted to comment that the new website looks amazing as well.

Amazing to finally see it in action. I've been waiting so long for this game. As many great games as I've played in recent years, nothing matches the enjoyment and value for money I get out of an Elder Scrolls game. There are so many great games coming out this year, but this has to be my most anticipated. I trust in Bethesda to make an incredibly immersive RPG that will svck away hours of my life as the last two did. I may be 30 now and have less free time to play games than I used to, but I'm going to make time for this. Roll on November....Goodbye social life.

I am still getting shivers. I really hope they have co-op play but if it doesn't I would care.

The dragon shout part is just incredibly well set up

So the skyrim trailer...

hmmm....

It was rousing, the game looks absolutely stunning. Incredible. So much more atmospheric than morrowind or oblivion even. The animations are great. The npc's look fantastic and everything moves really well.

I think the bit where I had the shivers down my spine, was when the knight was fighting the dragon and his words matched the music, or at least seemed to. I was in joyful awe during that scene and that spirit sold me in the entire thing more than I have been so far, which is saying a lot.

That said, the trees are a step down. They fit - better, but don't - look, better. In other words, I would have them no other way, but oblivion trees, for what they where then, where better. Small detail for what it's worth, (it's worth about 0.0000000000001% of the overall picture, but i had to nit pick)

I think they put a lot of resources of the trees into, well.... everything else. It seems about as populated graphically speaking as oblivion, maybe less. But that feels so insignificant when the entire picture that's painted is so much smoother, more believable, and cohesive.

For instance, oblivion might have a really detailed scene, and that snowscene in this trailer looks bare. I don't think I could find many areas in oblivion that bare. Then again, take in 80% of the scenes shown in that trailer, and all of them just come to life in a way elder scrolls never has. They brim with life, the normal mapping makes everything seem a level higher. And while there is a most definite lack of tessellation, i think the game has taken a more "rage multitextured" look to it's surfaces. For the most part this is fantastic as rage is one of the best looking games on the horizon. In that regard things seem to merge better, rocks spike upwards, curvature is organic rather than janky. The clouds enveloping everything but only as clouds do, rather than some fogging system, is just one of the million details that add to the cohesion.

Once we move into town, things improve immensely. Maybe the snow scene being bare is due to current development. Not sure. The throat slitting, while still being a tease by not showing us any first person (theactual game folks.... sigh) is all soooooo promising. The scope of obliivon with this game running like it does, well, that lives up to my loft expectations. The fact that I am getting all the previewed gameplay systems not shown at all in the trailer. It's boggling how great this game is going to be.

In future trailers, I want to see first person, I want to see non town areas more populated with things, etc etc.

But for now, besides the trees, this is all quite grand.

They have at least 9 months to fix that I wont worry, as I said, if the GI screenshots were from the 360, then it is safe to assume the trailer was.

done no co-op in this here county.

Well effing done!

Definitely a stone head there.

Good work Bethesda, especially on the animations, they look so much smoother and more realistic than the ones from your other games.

One thing besides the water thing what I dislike is the animation of the wolf.
It seems like it runs in slow motion, doesn't fit that well but it's a nice scene.

In the city with the dragonhead roofs I had the feeling like it was an extra worldspace due to not seeing anything outside the walls, hope it's just because of the villages position and NOT an extra Worldspace ...

That.....Was.....AWESOME!!!!!! When he used the dragon shout a chill went down my spine. Now it's time to save up 60 dollars.

Oh I hope so. I just saw too much detail, I can't see how the 360 can handle this. Maybe this is what Todd ment that when playing Skyrim on the console will be like playing it on a next generation console.

I am still not getting my hopes up that this was on the 360 though.

Dragon shout is outstanding. I loved the trailer, would loved it more if it showed interface, but we all new it was too early for that.

9 out of 10

Seriously epic.

A round of applause for all the devs and everyone at Beth and of course, for Todd...that trailer...well...I just don't know what to say right now. Words wouldn't do the feeling I got when I first watched it justice. Anyway looks great, the stealth kills, the epic magic blast, the dual wield combat in action, the giant with his rattling bones and his lumbering gait , the frost troll in a bloody rage, the finishing move by the lake and the swirling, whirling ice wraiths; the cities, the steamy Dwemer ruin, the first person camera movement(excellent), the dragonshout(I think I damaged an eardrum), the sound of my character breathing and his weapons rattling around as he's running, the foggy breath, the fire left burning on the rock after the dragon bathed him in flame, the moving mist and wispy cloud cover, the big saddled horse(mounts confirmed???), the spider and its massive mess of web, Dovahkiin getting knocked out of his boots by the swooping dragon(figuratively speaking, but priceless nonetheless), the video as a whole and the music that went with it...the list goes on and on. I can't wait . Awesome! :clap: :clap: :clap:

I literally almost cried, this is what I wanted from Oblivion. Dragon shouts seem epic.

Game of the Eternity. Forevermore.

Yeah, that part raised some hairs I was impressed.
