To me why would the devs lie?

And when has BGS ever lied?

I don't think it's water. I think it's icy slush, like partially melted snow.

Everyone's white...

If the people complaining didn't realize that then :facepalm:


'Tis Skyrim.

Uh, Oblivion?

[DEV QUOTE by, MrSmileyFaceDude]
You're walking through a seedy part of a town in Western Cyrodiil. People mill about, some engaged in conversation, others minding their own business, out on their own errands. Suddenly, an ugly man decides he doesn't like you. Maybe he's drunk, maybe he's just a bully, maybe he's just showing off in front of his friends -- but for whatever reason, he has taken your measure and decided he can best you.

He comes charging at you, with a nasty looking mace in his hand and a look of hatred on his face. Onlookers move back to make room for what should be an entertaining fight.

Quickly drawing your sword and shield, you wheel around to face him. He's upon you pretty quickly though, and you barely have time to raise your shield (hold right mouse button) before his first blow thunders down upon you.

But you block well, and as he recoils from the collision, you quickly perform left & right slashes with your sword (left click, pause, left click). The bully realizes this isn't going to be easy.

He backs off a bit, and starts dodging around you. First to the left, then to the right. You maneuver to keep him in view, looking for an opening. Suddenly he steps back, raises his mace in both hands, and steps forward, bringing the mace towards your head in a crushing blow!

But you're quick -- you step to the side as he attacks. As he passes by, you execute a spinning maneuver and slash him in the side (hold left mouse button and left maneuver key). The hit is solid, and your foe staggers from the blow.

But it's not over yet. The bully swings his mace wildly -- his first swing misses, but the next one connects for a blow that sends you staggering. Pressing his advantage, the bully bears down on you with a power attack of his own. OUCH. This isn't going well. You take a glance at your health meter, it's getting a bit low. You quickly back up out of the bully's reach and raise your shield (hold right mouse button).

He's hurting, too. You circle each other for a time, looking for an opening, trying to recover some fatigue. Finally the bully charges forward with a devastating overhead blow, perhaps hoping to break your shield. But the shield holds and the recoil send him staggering back. This is your chance! You perform a mighty forward power attack (hold the left mouse button, press forward) and connect solidly. The blow staggers your foe once again, and you perform 3 slashing attacks in rapid succession (left mouse button, pause, left mouse button, pause, left mouse button), and finally the bully collapses to the ground, defeated.

The crowd disperses, going back to their own business.

Maybe someone else has mentioned it, but the clip that had the windmill in it really, really reminded me of Buckkeep Castle from the Robin Hobb books. Ominous dark castle situated on top of craggy rocks that drop far down to the river? Almost identical. It makes me wonder in what other ways they might have been inspired by her (her vision of the dragon personality would make me so happy)

Fantastic trailer, and you could tell it was in game footage, if not the player viewpoint at all times.

Where is the ominous dark castle in the windmill part?

Also I've watched it a ton of times and still can't figure out what the pc is doing to that bandit/enemy towards the end of the trailer next to what looks like a nirnroot?

:facepalm:

Think before you post. A dragon is a mythical creature. In other words, not real! Dragons aren't confined to a certain look, as long as its somewhat reptilian and can fly IMO.

Dragons don't need four legs to be called a dragon...

Dragons are usually shown in modern times with a body like a huge lizard, or a snake with two pairs of lizard-type legs, and able to emit fire from their mouths. The European dragon has bat-type wings growing from its back. A dragon-like creature with no front legs is known as a wyvern.

Uploaded a new album if anybody is interested (30 pictures), the pics are slightly higher quality.

:mellow:

It's right behind the windmill. You only see it clearly just before the clip ends. Okay, it's not that ominous, but those are definitely ramparts.


I'm amazed at how advanced the game looks considering it's so long away.

EDIT: And I think he's running him through with a dagger/short sword.

Here from the Wiki for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon.



So while yes, it is still a dragon, it is a wyvern and not a Dragon. You didn't need to be so mean about it. The poster who said this was correct.
