Well, an odonata is apparently a dragonfly, and all RPG fans knows that dragonflies can be pretty huge in Fantasy RPGS.

(Might & Magic or the Gothic series anyone?)

'Oly Cow!!!!! Humingbirds, and the ability to kill/catch them? Just the level of detail Betheseda is going for with the wildlife is astounding :biggrin:

I had a similar reaction a few weeks back when we heard about dragonflies and bees!!!

And melting ore into BARS? One of my characters will definitely be melting gold and silver into bars for hoarding in his mansion basemant LOL :tongue:

I got sick of their dutch accents like 10 seconds in. It all sounded like gibberish.

Poor boy! Of course it sounded gibberish to you, as you don't understand a single word of it. Us Dutchies on the other hand can handle ourselves pretty well in English. B)

Cooking dragonflies?... Should taste funny....

After my Orc smelts some gold bars he is going to fry them in batter using his frying pan and eat them for breakfast... He's gonna be hardcoe. :disguise:

Maybe we'll get recipe books in game.

Recipe 1: Butter-fried Butterflies. :celebration:

You can use a mining pick to get ore from rock.
You can melt the ore in forges to get bars.
You can make these bars into armor and weapons.
You are able to attach "spell badges" (as he called them) to weapons. Seems to have the same effect as enchanting.
You can catch fish, dragonflies and hummingbirds.
You can combine these as ingredients and make your own poisons.

I have this horrible suspicion that spell badges is enchanting.
I think its going to be exactly like the sigil stones in Oblivion.
Which wont make me happy.

I just dont see how they can make it interesting and complex without the spellmaking system behind it.

I would hereby like to invite everyone for a taste of my world famous "Hummingbird Jambalaya"

Yeah me too, and I'm Dutch. These self-proclaimed "game reporters" piss me off like you wouldn't believe.

Humingbirds? In Skyrim?

Oh well, as long as they are tasty... :celebration:

My perspective of the innuendo and gossip is agnostic in nature.

» Sat Aug 20, 2011 10:38 am

Wow so insects and stuff are no longer untouchable sprites? This may be the first game to do that.

Me no understand the language :sadvaultboy:

As has been stated before, they where talking about dragonflies, not butterflies. My guess is that dragonflies will probably have about the same size as a rat or mudcrab.

The hummingbird has be baffled though, wonder how that'll look.

Hi, first post so be kind

i dont know how good your dutch is but these gamecritics do a tour around Gamescom and the first part of the vid is about Skyrim.

http://www.gamekings.tv/videos/gamescom-2011-de-eerste-beursdag/

nothing new except you can (drumsounds) COOK!

(don't beat the sh%t out of me if this was already common knowledge)

some basic translation:

- it's sort of the same as crafting ore/mining
- it doesn't 'feel' like a minigame
- you actually use a frying pan
- apparently the person who was showcasing the game was cooking a butterfly (yeah your not the only one wtf'ing here)

Toppie :thumbsup: ff kijken.

????

Should they have a non-Dutch accent when they are speaking Dutch?

» Sat Aug 20, 2011 7:56 am

I'm excited to see how the cooking system plays out.... For me, cooking is my passion... :foodndrink:. So, we'll see how this goes :tongue:.

» Fri Aug 19, 2011 10:55 pm

Thanks for posting this OP - it was actually fun to watch these guys even if I don't understand Dutch

Groeten

Another nice thing they mentioned was, that the crafting perks for smithing will allow you to personalize in certain armour types, like getting better at smithing dragon armour, or steel, ect.

Dragonflies as big as rats and mudcrabs? Also, I wonder if everyone will start with a pick axe?
