"Ray" keeps nodding and smiling super awkwardly at Matt Carofano...

I don't think he's comfortable being filmed, he was like that in another GI video as well.

Does anyone else think the most awesome thing was the elven armored guy flicking us off?

Personally i think the fishery was the most awesome thing. It could very well mean we have some good water animal mechanics in the game. That means fishing is viable and if not in vanilla a mod will do.

Elves live for so long they can afford to make wicked intricate armor.

And after going through all of the trouble of getting glass in the TES universe, I'd hope they at least spent some time on making it look nice. Haha. Volcanoes and all that, if I remember correctly about where it comes from. Elven and Glass armor is supposed to be like you go through a huge ancient ruin and happen upon a chest that's been hidden in the shadows behind a pillar during daytime: "By the Nine Divines...GUESS WHAT I FOUND!!!"

And then your adventuring buddies circle around and gasp.

They're supposed to be rare and only found in tombs and ruins in Oblivion Times. The fact that it's been 200 years later means they're probably even rarer, and given that Elves weren't exactly welcome in Skyrim for a long time, Elven armor would be that much rarer. And Glass armor is probably only from Morrowind, so you're talkin' more elves there too.

I agree, it's elven and glass armor after all. As long as it's really rare, not like in Oblivion where everyone has it if their level is high enough. I'll be worried if common armor looks like that. I don't remember why I reacted that way

Really cool, but I never was a fan of over the top armor like shown here. The armors in Oblivion and Morrowind seemed like something one would actually wear for protection. Except Daedric, which is allowed to look freaky. The armors here look like decoration, I mean the glass and elven ones...

Well said. I agree wholeheartedly. Luckily so far it doesn't look too over the top in Skyrim.

It's no longer a question. It's a fact. Skyrim will be Game of the Millennium. :celebration:

by "millennium" you mean "of the next 1000 years"?

I hope that's not the case.

Did anyone notice the walrus in the bottom right at 0:35? For some reason, the idea of walruses really amuses me, I like it.

Oh yeah, didn't catch that. I am getting way to excited about a game ten months off.

Thats a really nice looking Argonian. Seems to be going for the very hard scale, crocodile skin look.

Love the picture with the boats. I wonder if we can sail them or at the very least watch them set sail.
