Tears in my eyes, the epicness just was too much for me

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.

This. Very cool trailer I say.

Also, something of a lesser importance:
>saw the cuirass guy performing whirling attack with sword and dagger
>looks back at earlier images with similar cuirasses
>decides that it is very safe to assume that pauldrons are definitely separate item to cuirasses.

Watching the trailer and eating a bacon based breakfast at the same time was the most euphoric experience I've ever had.

That trailer was stunning!

My mind was blown! I love that both warrior, stealth and magic was shown in the video.

The architecture looks fantastic. The province looks beautiful. Characters and graphics looks much better than Oblivion.
The theme kicked butt. The tavern looked much more interesting than for example http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Olav%27s_Tap_and_Tack.

I can't wait for Skyrim!

My favorite part of the trailer was the windmill location around 1:20

Finally some ingame footage. Looks amazing!

» Thu Jan 13, 2011 2:18 am

... That was so worth 47 minutes of non stop F5ing.

Those dragons look amazing and when the guy ran down that snowy path... WOW. And when he did the dragon shout, just... just... AMAZING. I can't stop watching it! This is the best game trailer I've ever seen.

Bethesda, I love you guys, my virtual first born is for you!

I think oddly I liked the sound most! The dragon shout was really well done, they PC's breathing, the sound when weapons conect, the giants footsteps! All awesome!

I actually gotta admit the sound (normally don't care much about sound) fit really great...
but my favorit part was combat... it was really detailed when you think of Oblivions slash, slash, spell, slash, slash, slash, power slash... or morrowinds slash, thrust, thrust...

that was quite a few flavors of epic and awesome. i got chills hearing the main theme.Dragon age 2 doesn't stand a chance......................WOHOOOOOOOOOOO. :drool: :mohawk: :disguise: :foodndrink: :celebration: :intergalactic:

Just watched the trailer, and I have to say one thing.

I CAME!!!

But in reality, I'm a lot more excited for Skyrim.

I have one concern though. To me, the water doesn't look all that great. I mean, in the river it looks ok, but in the waterfall over the rocks, it just looks sort of "plastic-y"

I mean it's not bad, but not like what Pete Hines was constantly praising about.

But all in all, can't wait.

That's the most awesome and epic trailer I've ever seen in a long time! Disappointed that there wasn't any two-handed weapons shown though, but everything was too awesome for me to take that into account!

My favourite part was when the Draugr was hit in the head with a mace. :toughninja:

» Thu Jan 13, 2011 9:16 am

The Dragon Shout almost deafened me. And I liked it!

Animations - absolutely fantastic.

Too much to take in all at once, I only know that it was absolutely frickin' awesome. I apologise for the large font, but really. That was ridiculously good.

Taking screengrabs...

Pretty sad I had to see the trailer on Gamespot and not on the TES site. I can't believe the entire system crashed. I couldn't even get onto the forums. Everything is so slow.

Oh well, at least Bethesda doesn't fail. Everything they do is buggy. But yeah the trailer is awsome, so sweet, I can't wait to play it.

Oh and the Shield is on the left hand, so does this mean we can't equipe a shield in the right hand?

It looks more graphic than Oblivion, lots of blood splatter. Or will this be like the Oblivion Trailer, where when the actual game comes out, things will be cut out. Sort of hard
to get excited for it, when knowing lots of things in the Oblivion Trailer was not in the game.

Also...

I saw shadows...

» Thu Jan 13, 2011 5:52 am

3 words, best freaking trailer ever OMG the trailer rocked sooo haard .

» Wed Jan 12, 2011 11:09 pm

I liked the music, but, beside few first person and landscape views, doesn't show how really figting with dragons look, it's all staged.

» Thu Jan 13, 2011 5:08 am

Damn! I didn't think I could be any more excited, but I am now!

» Thu Jan 13, 2011 2:37 am

Been watching it through youtube repeatedly until I was let back on here

I loved it! I think they definitely got that "brutal" feel they were aiming for.
Can't wait to walk through those towns/cities/settlements too.

» Wed Jan 12, 2011 6:59 pm

it looks like they weren't lying about the new engine looking better than Oblivion in every way

At the 1:25 mark, the water looks pretty bad. Dunno how Pete could brag about that. But, still, really nice trailer.
