"It's a game for both" = It's a game for the people who don't like RPG's. Sorry, no matter how noble your intentions this has pretty much always been the case. I mostly suspect it's because of the "let's make it dumber so people will understand it easier" attitude, when it should be "let's just explain our complex game better."

That shopkeeper example is almost verbatim from member conversations held here from 2007, about what FO3 might potentially be like. Its cool that they actually implemented it.

Well I can't find the scan anywhere so I'll have to wait until tonight for it to be tomorrow over there so I can see the screen on their website.


EDIT: Scratch that, looks amazing. I can't wait for this to be out in the public view so we can finally put the graphics debate to rest.

Agree that the latter should be the design focus... I guess what's arguable here is whether the design decisions Bethesda have made fit into the former or the latter. So one might argue that, at least in some respects, Skyrim is more complex than Morrowind or Daggerfall. For example, now you've got a two-tiered system for how to pick skills - not only must you pick skills, but you've also got to pick skill perks! And you can't get all of them, so you need to pick wisely! Contrast that with previous systems, where there was just a single decision you needed to make - which of these skills should I use, or make my major skills - even though there were more options....

(I don't want to get in a fight about this, I just want to point out that it's not obvious just by making the distinction you make, where Bethesda lie. They probably lie on one side in some respects, and on the other side in other respects).

... the perks can be anything from advanced magic combinations to running [I guess sprinting?] while attacking at the same time.

How is this not the most talked about topic now? One week ago the forums were clamoring on account of the translation that magic creation might be out. Now we have confirmation that the magic system will allow 'advanced combinations' .I must say I'm surprised this isn't a popular topic.

I remember those!

( I lurked here for like 4 years before I finally joined )

I think it sounds like a pretty good idea. I hope that these contingency NPCs aren't infinite. If they're not, then it will be pretty awesome. Especially the revenge part.

Maybe you can try looking in the Skyrim section of other Elder Scrolls forums.

I just found it. Nice screen, but the scan quality was really low.

I must say, those mountains in the background look menacing...and amazing.

Except when you swear at someone, you are, pretty clearly, trying to flame them; me getting indirectly annoyed at a turn of phrase is different to you getting annoyed at me.


Thanks for clarifying that. In no way was I aware that I was flaming you. I mean, I even sarcastically used phrases you and the other guy used. But nope, no way.

I can't believe how hard the facetious nature of my post flew over your head, as I'm sure this one will. Incredible.
