I loved this article. It has so much great detail. Mind Takeover spell? I can't wait. Bows are like a Viking sniper rifle? I can't wait. I'm just learning to get better with bows in Oblivion too.

"We reach Bleak Falls Barrow, a snowy, ruined temple where we’re told the thieves are hiding. Todd casts a Detect Life spell, and two well camouflaged guards are revealed. He hits one with a Mind Takeover spell, which forces him to attack his companion – merciless. When only one is left, Todd bulls-eyes the survivor with his bow and arrow. Bows are greatly improved in Skyrim. They require two hands to operate and take more time to pull back than they did in Oblivion, but they do far more damage. Think of them as a Viking sniper rifle."

The forums crashing was a given, no surprise there. The IT people are going to be busy this year, sorry IT. :)

Did anyone catch that the priest was able to levitate? Does that mean that we are able to levitate?

Also, a very good read gamesradar!

I like dual shields (well, not that I like it, but I like the freedom of choosing whatever you want). If you want to wear dual shields, it's your problem ^^

I foresee that we'll see a lot of fun videos on YouTube about it, though....

This is the best article, in my opinion, that has come out today. That was simply 1 quest out of a supposedly limitless amount if the Radiant story thing works out. I've never anticipated a game so much in my 27 years of life.

It probably just means that shields are equippable on either slot but then not the other, allowing people to play a left-handed character.

Since a bad guy is levitating, does that mean levitate will be back in? I doubt it and think the bad guy was probably floating, not levitating. Thoughts?

Thought pretty much the same thing. Probably like the lich's from Oblivion. They did float, right?

Best article by a long way. Far more detailed. He elaborated on everything and gave us a real feel of the game.

I want that mind takeover spell :hubbahubba: I also like how bow seem to be really improved. I always wanted to play an archer in elder scrolls games but never really like the way bows worked, looks like my problems are solved :smile:

I would have have thought the dragon fight at the end to be described in more detail...

But Todd does manage to slay the beast eventually.

Levitating the same way liches do in Oblivion. Todd already made a snarky comment about that not being in the game.
