Game Informer Update Today

Post » Sun Feb 27, 2011 11:27 am

I don't recall seeing any elven screenshots from the snippets of info that we've had so far, but yeah, the concept art does look cool.

I wonder whether we'll see the return of the 'classic' glass and the daedric armour sets? A lot of the art before today's update has stressed the Nordic armour sets - fur 'n' chainmail stuff. I'd be happy if they concentrated on this and ditched the glass etc.

Armour like http://www.northwestmuseum.org/userfiles/image/Out_of_this_World/Highlander_furponcho.jpgwould be more in keeping with Nordic tradition.

I disagree. I'd like to play TES5: Skyrim, not Conan: Generic Vikingland. :P

Hmm, just saw the update. I Saw the Argonian, and they look... different. I would like to see more pics of the beast races before I say ok. However has anybody noticed at 3:05 at the bottom right on the table. Could that be a khajiit face?

I wanna see the UI first.

I'm hoping the next GI informer is based on UI. I'm really interested to see 3d previews and how they're handling the large amounts of information the game has to offer.

Todays hub update gave me a gut wrenching stomach pain i used to get when i had a crush on a girl. Art amazes me, so does promises of customization beyond that of previous games. :P

A lot of people seem concerned about one-item armor because this video shows sets and names them as outfits. But that's just how a concept artist works, you don't draw a character that looks like a patchwork doll. You draw a coherent character that wears one type of armor to depict the style and design of that particular armor set. On top of that, like some peope quoted, it's already been more or less confirmed that armor will be like previous TES games. I just hope they bring back pauldrons, because pauldrons are really important when it comes to character looks.

I'm really excited about how the game's art style that's shown so far. It looks much less like the bright generic renaissance world we had in Oblivion and much more like a hostile and gritty environment which you'll have to survive and master.

There's one update left which will be the ui.

Did you guys see this dungeon with what looks to be blood and guts all over the floor at 2:32 in the video? Also, what is that "woman" at 2:34? Lastly, in some parts of the video you can see other pictures such as Plate Armor or what looks like panthers

I took a few screens through the video which can be found http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp90/john123_0/chrome2011-01-2617-00-36-00.jpg, http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp90/john123_0/chrome2011-01-2616-59-39-99.jpg and http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp90/john123_0/chrome2011-01-2616-58-56-53.jpg I quite like the designs of the armors, they look so different to th Oblivion versions!

For some reason the last updates I see are the 'wallpapers' and (building better combat'. The page ends there. I can't see any 'art of skyrim'.

We speculate that the woman is a vampire.

Game Informer seems to never update the actual hub at the same time that they release new information, so you should always check the http://www.gameinformer.com/ first.

Stop looking at the Hub and just go to the GameInformer home page.

That is the same shot as 3:05 but I don't see what you are talking about. Looks like there is a SketchBook at the bottom right, but I don't see a Khajiit anywhere.

I think you can only see it on the GI homepage, they have not updated the hub yet

Looks a lot better.

Hey, you can kinda tell their races!

High Elven Woman, Nord to the Left & Imperial/Breton to the Right, Probably a Nord




Also, the Game Informer update a while ago mentioned something like the Dragonshout ability being like magic, it was used more in the past.

So.. is Magic rarer now? Random civilians won't be tossing spells at me anymore?
