Its good to have you back Mankar

My bet is still on the podcast, possibly more screens.

I'd be happy with the screens from the article. I'm in the UK, have only seen crappy scans so far...

I'd have thought they have more screenshots as well. There must be some which weren't good enough to make the magazine.

Its good to be back, Dovahkiin. It didnt occur to me that there might be a podcast on Skyrim soon. That is something I would really like to see. I doubt it would be a hub update though. That is something that would be left to the Bethblog dudes.

Just erase Skyrim's preloaded Steam cache from all computers 1 hour before the game is unlocked. "Uups, server failure, sorry!".

Hopefully it's up in 1 to 3 hours.

I came home and misinterpreted the Roman numerals as an eleven. Well done.

If we're hoping, I hope it's up in the next few minutes

What's the difference if you click on a location on the map and fast travel there or if you pay for a service (like boat or animal) and travel there. Either way you're getting "teleported" to the location.

You have to be at the place or travel to it first before you can use the fast traveling service. Rather then being anywhere and fast travelling from that spot.
Usually the travel services only transport you to known locations, cities and the such. Rather then being able to fast travel to anywhere in the world.
You have to pay to use it so there's a sense of I don't want to do that always. Rather then oh it's free why not use it.

Personally I like the way World of Warcraft does it, or the way Morrowind was. Where you have to pay for the ride and the ride only takes you to other cities. Plus it's always cool to ride on the backs of cool creatures like Gryphons, Hippogryphs, Wyverns, Giant Bats, Dragonhawks, and of course the ever awesome http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3200/3134862056_71f2bfa875.jpg.

I would think the Radiant Story random encounters would be better utilized in a system where you actually had to walk from town into the wilderness to the cave or wherever your going. Walking through the forest and all that is how you level up, where the action is. Rather then fast travel and skip it all. You would hardly ever see the random encounters in action then. A fast travel between cities system is a good idea though. Cities should have roads between them, or at least trails. And then Skyrim could have a fast travel or taxi service between them, via horses or something.

Yeah but it kind of svcks. Or maybe the one I listened to what just a off day. All podcasts have them :shrug: I can't wait for the next Bethesda podcast.

Do we have any hints as to what this one might be?

Might i ask: why do a lot of people seem to think it's gonna be a podcast, i feel like i missed something :cryvaultboy:

» Fri May 13, 2011 4:12 pm

I'm going to bed, enjoy the update. I'll enjoy it tomorrow... kinda like Christmas morning

Better contains some screenshots *fingers crossed*

You should PROBABLY fix that link.

Every one of GI's hubs has a podcast update on them, which usually come towards the middle or the end of the month. And since it's around that time already, why not just go ahead and get it over with so to say?

Oh, okay thanks. I wasnt aware.

I don't think there is a real reson. People heard the idea and its grown on them.

You should PROBABLY fix that link.

Done
