I haven't been impressed so far.

Favorite update so far.

I loved the new update, concept art was amazing I was only dissapointed with one thing: at the beginning of the article it says new info about specific shouts and then just says the same thing that was in the GI magazine...

i like how the release date looks like it can fit in the dragon alphabet

11.11.11

Nice.

I doubt now, given what they said about the alphabet (ought to be writeable by claws), that the choice of the date hasn't anything to do with it.

Second screenshot is named "word wall". So that's where we're going a-shopping for the shouts. Nice twisted architecture.

Only thing I didn't like is that they made it sound that the pc will have a pre-set voice

It sounds like Skyrim will be hugely epic - I mean we need to use these ancient powers in order to advance in the plot, as without them the mission would be too difficult. I think we will play our most EPIC role yet in this title! CAN'T WAIT!

So basically they just invented a new language? :clap:

Nice update.

Now: sleep.

Cheesus that was good! All those that were hankering for a lore-heavy TES game look like they are being catered for

Those walls sound great too.

The Dragon Shouts are sweet I'm liking the concept. Hopefully Bethesda won't make them too broken.

I liked it, I was so happy when I read that the man behind most of the story and lore in the Bloodmoon expansion also was In charge of this ancient dragon language

that really gave me a goooood feeeling, this game is gonna be so epic!!!

Where's the enlarged version of the digital screenshot?

It could only be for the dragon shouts.

It said "the amount of time you hold down the shout button is how many words come out"...I thought it had to be three words so why would you hold it down for only one or two?

Maybe would work like Fable(II and III) area spells, meaning you are vulnerable when casting, so you might want to cast at two words to stop yourself being hit by the enemies, instead of trying to risk all three.

I CAME

SEVERAL TIMES

IT'S AN ONGOING PROCESS

Seriously, that was genuinely interesting, and the concept art was great. We needs high-res!

Pretty concept art, and insight into dragon language. I am pleased. :wub:

» Fri May 13, 2011 5:05 pm

Does 60 words of power mean 60 dragons scattered across Skyrim?

» Fri May 13, 2011 8:37 am

Only thing I didn't like is that they made it sound that the pc will have a pre-set voice

Not exactly. According to the sound design videos, the pc will just say these words in their race's VA. So it'll be the same as anyone else of that race. Odd vocal trait of Tamriel that everyone sounds the same, you know.

It was amazing IMO but I thought that being the last one(I think its the last because the screen is filled)it should of been a beta version or a short demo

» Fri May 13, 2011 3:58 pm

I want some actual Screenshots!!!

Interesting article!

All I can say is, "Wow". I am very impressed!! :goodjob: I am going to learn this language, so that when I see it in-game I can read it outright.

Question: Is Bethesda planning to include a RosettaStone module with the game, or perhaps as a DLC? I would buy it. :yes:

And this line, "An entire internal wiki at Bethesda contains an evolving vocabulary list of words and phrases used in the game – any new uses of the dragon language have to be checked back against this list for consistency." - I hope they post a version of that WIKI for us when the game is released!

Indeed. That nordic temple we already glimpsed in the Todd-tour would make a superb wallpaper.

is the summonable dragon your mount?? - The equivalent of the heli in Just casue 2 to be used for fast travel?
