No Argonians, Khajits, or Orcs in the trailer.

I don't know if anyone else noticed, but during the first part of the chorus, the words are sung in pairs of three

The first pair is a dragon shout, so the rest might be as well.

Edit: Thats what it sounds like anyway

Ah, thanks. I guess it was just a trick of the eye then, lol! XD I was watching the youtube one, not the HD one, so that may be why. My bad, heh. :blush2:

The first three words as in Dovahkiin? Is that a dragon shout? I think it's just the main character's title, I don't think it's a dragon shout by itself.
Also, someone asked what the dragon shout in the trailer was... It sounds an awful lot like Fus-Ro-Dah to me.
EDIT: I watched the trailer again and I'm pretty convinced that that's what it is.

No, I mean when he says Fus-Ro-Dah, then afterwards for a while the chorus is sung in pairs of three up until the "Dovahkiin! Dovahkiin!" part.

Gotcha.
Also, I made an interesting discovery: in the new wallpaper, the Dovahkiin has been mirrored. His armour is the same as in the trailer, but reversed. And he's using the larger weapon in his left hand.
And a note about the water: it doesn't look all that great at 1:24, but it seems to look pretty good at a distance. You can see it at 1:11.

I get that you folks are trying to hype this thing up, but that's why you didn't announce it until the release was less than a year out. I mean, if we extrapolate the standard developer hype-train time line that might last a few years with fairly large gaps between info dumps, it would seem we won't get actual gameplay vids until a month or so from launch. The question being: Is releasing a single bit of gameplay footage really going to kill the hype? I'm not even asking for a comprehensive video, just something that shows some combat, or thievery, or this Radiant Story stuff or whatever.

My point as too magazine previews is that you guys have the perfect system for disseminating information right here. AT least, that's what I would hope for. The whole point of an official developer forum is supposed to be communication between us and you guys, yes? And as interesting as your particular grooming habits or cell phone choices might be, the real reason we are here is because we want to hear about the game you are making. Instead we get everything second hand, a lot of it indecipherable or contradictory. And I see that Pete offers clarification sometimes on Twitter, but why not right here where you have a much larger audience and you're explanations aren't limited to a hundred and forty characters.

Jesus, I fricking hate this attitude...it's something that's infested gaming nerd-dom like a virus. This notion that the designers don't even know what the hell they're doing, and that it's up to the modders to "save" their games from their poor, inept lack of skill.



Fallout 3 and New Vegas allowed the player to "grab" objects in the world, by clicking the control stick (which is what I use on both PC and Xbox 360). I wouldn't expect them to drop this.

There's one thing they did to the graphics that I definitely LOVE:
They've made it around 95% realistic, and 5% cartoon-ish
I think it sets the tone quite well, while also reminding us that this isn't Earth, it's Nirn. It's a completely different world.
That's one thing I loved in OB, and I'll love in Skyrim: a true fantasy look

Um....Beth owes me a new pair of pants

The scene where he's sneaking near the wolf and the leaves' shadow are moving over his skin was BEAUTIFUL. I think I'll just be walking around enjoying the scenery. (That is, if my PC is powerful enough to even play the game... I really doubt it will be with the way these graphics are looking.)

Bethesda owes me a new pair of pants! the trailer made my old ones explode

I don't know if anyone mentioned this yet, but I remember that mounts being in game was uncertain. At ~1:20 there is a horse just to the left of the windmill and it's all saddled up.

i still really wish they would have shown an argonian or a khajiit or even an orc

God forbid that a modder mod what they want to and that it doesn't affect you in the least.

:rolleyes:

This is me giving my opinion on the trailer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdfzJG0x3NY

Wow, just wow... Really...? The TES franchise doesn't revolve around the people on this forum. It seems obvious but its almost as though you don't understand that. Its just bizarre that you presume to know better than the professionals who make a living making, marketing and publishing games. They'll release the gameplay video when they're READY to show it - not at your beck and call.

I get really sick of these came in my pants comments. Its not funny, creative, or anything!! Its stupid and kinda disgusting.

Dude that's how I'm feeling now :celebration:

The water animations look pretty shallow, but everything else is great!

Wow! That would explain why I couldn't do them by myself Well like I said it was well worth it, they look fantastic I guess they needed to as Dragons are the main focus of Skyrim, well storyline wise anyhow!

And its very immature.

I absolutely love this screenshot ..

Its perfect, I love the lighting, I love the great view distance, I love the way there are buildings and a castle on top of the rock outcrop, and there are even a few birds flying about! :goodjob: I can imagine my Ranger sitting up on the keep watching the sun come up over the ocean Wow... just wow! :tops: Anyone else agree?

Currently uploading a half speed version of the trailer and though the audio just barely works(Max sounds 120 instead of 80) you can really see the game at a speed i think it will be. I think the whole thing was sped up. You'll still be able to see it in motion but you'll be able to absorb it better. I'll post link when it's up.
