The trailer was ferocious from start to finish but that shout, in particular, really makes the hair stand up. The music really gets the heart pumping. Every person working on this project deserves great respect for their expertise. Well done Beth!

When he did the dragonshout, I was like OMFG1!!!!!!!!

For the first second or two I was like "wtf, this is the same trailer!" Then it switched to the 1st person view of the dragon, and then I lost conscious comprehension until he did that shout. And that's about when I started to nerdgasm.

Phew, forum crash !

Well. First, dunno the name of the guys putting the trailer together - mighty work, guys ! Perfect epic, truly impressive and chills-giving.

Expanded trailer, short and impressive, with dragons and fights and awesome views thrown in alongside powerful choir, yup. As I expected. Fights look decidedly sweet and deadly, and the towns, oh my... I don't know we've had towns that looked so gorgeous.

Beyond that, a few kinks regarding visuals. Water, for one thing ; branches of trees, looking a bit Morrowind-geometrical. Definition of the guy fighting the dragon looks weird, cannot explain it. Personally, though don't care too much : I expected a few visual flaws, and what I wanted was superb environments with character. Between the towns and the moutains, we have it.

Damn we need a MP3 of the Skyrim theme !

OK, here's what I've gathered:

All the while:
Features a much longer version of the main theme.
How a dragon fight looks
Awesome graphics and vistas.

Highlights:
0:29 Wobble when running (possibly sprint)
1:07 Awesome fire effects
1:08 We can hear and see a dragon shout (possibly Unrelenting Force)
1:16 A cool dark town
1:19 A larger town with a tower
1:21 NPC Cutting timber, city on a cliff arc
1:24 Ruins based on concept art we saw (the one with the massive arcs)
1:26 Raging river (looks cool)
1:27 Walking giant
1:28 Cape, village. note sword at the side
1:30 Hunting (sneaking up to a stag)
1:31 We can hear what an Ice Troll sounds like. also notice how the spell equipped in the left hand looks (it glows in your hand ready to be cast!)
1:32 Assasination finishing move (cut throat)
1:33 Draugr got hit square in the head with an axe
1:35 Staff and sword (gandalf style)
1:36 Dual-wield special move (don't know whether it's a finnishing move or a power strike, but it's grand)
1:37-8 Fire spell hit against the ground, launching an inferno in all directions (Destruction will rock :goodjob:)
1:41 Ice wraiths
1:42 Bow and wolf
1:43 Dual hand spell special animation
1:44 Finishing move (stab in the chest)
1:47 Giant Spider (yep, they're in)
1:59 Absorbing a Dragon's soul

I liked most animations except the wolf (looked like he was floating) and the dragons' legs in flight (way too stiff).

Now I'll just have to wait for the real graphics (aka PC version).

Meh, meh, meh,
PC, PC, PC... :bowdown:
Oooooooooo so special!

Damn... pure awesomeness. A truly epic trailer!

» Wed Jan 12, 2011 5:04 pm

I'm speechless...that was too beautiful for words... :touched:

» Thu Jan 13, 2011 6:16 am

OKay... Completely awesome.

» Thu Jan 13, 2011 12:57 am

Wow! Just had a major nerdgasm. :drool:

» Thu Jan 13, 2011 5:44 am

In the kinda grassy area (with a few deer in) there seems to be an old stone head in the background! Very cool!
Oh also horses! Yey!

Ok, did anyone notice the musician in the bar? He's got a lyre.

I couldn't spot any beast races yet, sadly.

» Thu Jan 13, 2011 1:57 am

Epic video.

Nights are disappointingly not dark enough.

» Wed Jan 12, 2011 4:20 pm

I still have no words to say....maybe I'll try later.

» Thu Jan 13, 2011 7:25 am

wow that was actually better than I thought it would be

Saw some of the gameplay and the specials kill look amazing

» Thu Jan 13, 2011 12:52 am

I got goosebumps the moment the main theme kicked in. Bethesda, you guys should be giving each other high fives all day for delivering something so awesome.

All I need now is an MP3 of that music.

» Thu Jan 13, 2011 1:19 am

trailer playing like guar dung for me

» Wed Jan 12, 2011 7:45 pm

my favorite moment has to be when the the High Elf in the tavern flinched when she witnessed you perform a sneak kill. That's... wow! While you were doing it! The AI must be really improved!

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:

Link to Youtube version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSRtYpNRoN0

WHY IS IT NOT WORKING FOR ME???

Try the youtube version:)

My brakedown of it;
1:27 Third person view looks better woot woot:D
1:29 and 1:47 Looks like they have made some changes to the stealth element in the game
1:31 Is that a warewolf or something?
1:33 Assasinations! also at about the same time it looks like he is killing a dead Dovahkiin, but the helmet is different so probably not.

The combat in it looks complately different, they have made some great changes to the game. I cannot wait to get my hands on it!

I can see it now....The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim GOTY.

Awesome indeed, but the River looked awful

» Thu Jan 13, 2011 4:20 am

I can't stop watching the trailer and I have an overwhelming desire to stalk this forum. Bethesda what have you done!

» Wed Jan 12, 2011 6:28 pm

That was well worth the extra 30 minute wait. I just want to watch it over and over and over....

1:45 is that a Dwemer Ruin?? Do you see tubing there?

Better head-bob, okay. But I've yet to see LEGS IN FIRST PERSON MODE. Seriously, Beth, keep up with the times.

Other than that... I had to restrain myself from yelling "THE QUICKENING!" when the Dragonborn had slain his foe. ^_^
