Notice how there are no crosshair when he uses the bow...?

oh. nice spotting! thats actually pretty cool. more realistic i guess

and harder to hit evens out the fact that bows do more damage right?

At 1:15 the rocks really look like a face

And the town at 1:20 looks a lot like bruma, must be close to the border.

It is something incredible! A must buy unless 100 reviews come out saying "The elder scrolls Skyrim vote is....5!"Xd But I think it will not happen..will have bugs of course as all games(and especially bethesda games) but these guys from bethesda make incredible games!

I made a post about dragon shouts and it got locked because the Mod said I had to put it here. I am not trying to be negative here, just want understanding.

I dont' see what the big deal of Dragonshouts are. When I say the video, I was like, meh, that is it? I wasn't impressed at all. So a Dragonshout is like saying
"Boo" in Dragon langauge?

Before my post got locked someone said, I have no imaginatation. I have a good imagination. I just don't understand what a Dragonshout is suppose to do.
We already have magic in the game, so why do we need Dragonshouts. I wasn't impressed at all in the video.

So what am I missing? What am I not understanding about Dragonshouts?

Spectacular - loved all the little detail's , like the mill stone's , water wheel's and work horse. :ahhh:

Watched the video a few times and I'm getting quite a vibe that we play as a specific character, male human, rather than being able to to completely customise the character race and gender.

Well, you didn't really see the affect it had on the dragon or on the world. I think the point was to just show the dragon shout off a bit without showing too much. All you saw is him say it and then the camera pans out.

It's already been confirmed that we still have all 10 races to choose from... We can even customize the body now!!

Anyone knows where to download the trailer in HD? the one at Gametrailers is 55mb, i think its heavily compressed....

Just go to the elderscrolls.com and click on one of the options. I wanted to watch in HD and was surprised instead of watching it in HD streamed, it opened a new
window to download it. So I downloaded it and watched it in HD which was faster than it would have been streaming it. Good job Bethesda for doing it that way. :celebration:

I loled when I read Skygasm. That was good.

By the Nine! Did I see a lyre?! No more boring taverns! :celebration:

That's awesome. The whole HUD-less thing makes it so much better looking.

Can we confirm that all of this video, excluding the wall, is actually in-game? The 1st person stopping animation at the cliff, towards the beginning is amazing.

» Tue Feb 01, 2011 11:31 pm

watched it... looks good. it does leave me wanting and blaming bethesda though.

i want to play the game, and i want to ride a dragon (would be so cool). I blame bethesda for spending over a grand on a new computer if this game plays as good as it looks. LOL

good going bethesda.

I kick the dragon in the chest... "THIS IS SKYRIM!"

» Tue Feb 01, 2011 5:18 pm

Everything was amazing.

So amazing.

I really hope this game does not disssapoint.

But It looks amazing.

I want it confirmed that this is PC or 360. Alot of people are saying 360 which I have a hard time believing that this is 360 game play.

I want to know the new lyrics in the trailer. I know the old one by heart now but those where just a verse in a bigger song or anthem I would rather call it

» Wed Feb 02, 2011 12:15 am

They often refer to the character as male in the video, something tells me the character creation is going to be some what limited in Skyrim compared to previous games.

That's probably because the majority of players will use a male character anyway, also I think that it's generally accepted that the hero is assumed to be male. I honestly don't see ant reason why Bethesda would care to limit our choices on which type of character we want to play now, . I don't believe that it will happen, i fully intend on playing a female character eventually. (most likely my second playthrough)

Christ. Who made this trailer? Please post in this forum, we need someone to thank for the editing on this.

The theme is amazing, Skyrim looks spectacular, the combat is intense, and the characters look great. When the warrior says the beginning verses to the theme as a dragon shout, I was immediately sold. I said: "I'm buying this game". I choked up a bit at the end, when the camera pans out into the vista with the dragon diving into the forest...

This is what an RPG is. Right here.

If we pick the traile apart we could probably find a thousand small things to complain about, but I don't think we should. If Beth don't do anything totally horrible, this will become the number one game on any console at any time in history.

The trailer Rocks!!! :mohawk: :rock:

Look at the bottom of the OP...

I've been like that for about 2 hours in RL, I understand you

The word "epic" was put to shame today.
This is what it's all about.

I am so proud of being a TES fan right now.

Yes, this footage is from the 360.

EDIT: And yes, all footage besides the wall is in-game.

So...it looks like the character has a voice to shout those sixy things...does that mean we can choose from multiple voices at the beginning like in Neverwinter? I don't want my argonian to sound lame when he shouts... I might consider to play a nord because I loved this one's voice.

Right, I want to pick my voice from a list.

Personally, i loved the Dragon Shout , and how the knowing look before it was deliverd was very subtle. :>
