With the picture where the guy is getting stabbed in the gut, the water looks much better. The water in the trailer before must be mixed with snow.

Would someone mind responding to this? I do not see another way, with the addition of a sprint and dragon shout button, i do not see room for a object grab button, unless i am missing something or there is a button combination for it that wouldn't be awkward.

How are we suppose to confirm this. There is no info on controller layout.

No one knows for sure, but personally I think we can expect to be able to "grab" objects... I don't know if we should expect the player to actually physically hold them, but I'd be pretty surprised and disappointed if they removed the feature.

Also to anyone who is interested, here is a link to my new album: http://throwmeaway.imgur.com/

Edited out all but the dragon fight and it uses original audio. 720p

Don't need one. The grab key is likely the same as Oblivion. Seeing how spells are mapped to hands, and dragonshouts will probably be treated like greater powers or something, it seems plausible for them to just be like a spell.

Altmer I would guess. I can't tell with the guy standing next to her.

Someone asked Pete on twitter so hopefully he responds. Dragon shouts are the R3 button on the PS3 so that we do know.

I'd say either Altmer or Bosmer. Impossible to tell while she's sitting down; the best way to distinguish between those two races is by their height.

Left hand replaces block and dragon shout replaces cast so still room for grab.

In the last scene of the trailer those mountains along with the fog are amazing! I want to live in this world.

Well dragon shouts are R3 on the PS3 and in Oblivion that button was used to switch between first and third person. Also, you said left hand is block so can we not block with our right hand?

» Tue Feb 01, 2011 5:36 pm

Wow, the dunmer and the altmer lady's' faces are very sharp and somewhat gaunt,wish we had more of a close up though.

@dragonborn1~hopefully he does reply soon because i can't see a button for it currently.

Also, i think it would be wierd using a dragon shout in your hand, mostly because they have cooldowns, and they seem very powerful.

after this video, ?where is the complaining people? :celebration:

My point exactly.

Where have you been for the last week? We have gone over this a thousand times. From the info we have you can only block with two hands, whether it be with a one-handed weapon in your right and nothing in your left and pressing L1 to block with both hands gripping your one handed weapon or with a two handed weapon also using L1 or with two one handed weapons by hold both L1 and R1. No one handed blocking as far as we know, sorry.

Too unclear to be sure, I blame the fire.

Here is a link to my album: http://throwmeaway.imgur.com/

28 hi res .png images, captured in VLC. The source is the HD .mp4 file from the official Elder Scrolls website (see the OP for a link). I'll start working on my anolysis of each individual screenshot and post it as soon as it's ready.

edit: swapped out old album link for new one...

Hey thanks for putting that up! I haven't seen any still images with the staff and the caves look SOOOO much better

Am I the only one that doesn't really like the way the Mer in the tavern's face looks like? I like that they're trying to make the races have differences, but it almost seems a little... TOO different. It's not bad, just a taste thing.

» Tue Feb 01, 2011 2:02 pm

Anyone else think that those "elf" females faces are really sharp? I'm not sure...

No, they are more like Morrowind's elves now.

I'm really kind of wanted to play a mage at first now. Or at least a battlemage. I really want to use that staff

I meant blocking with a shield. Can we not have a shield in the right hand?
