The mag remarks the dragon born as being anointed by gods.

That has some odd implications to it. I mean I could see Dagon blessing the dragonborn(He hates aka after all), but could that line mean some/all of the aedra are opposed too?

I'm really happy about the removal of Morrowind and Oblivion's, in my opinion, horrible leveling system, but I want to know about the factions, exploration, and itemization. What are they like?

A dev has already said that isn't a werewolf.

Frost troll.

Any info on stealth, Thieves' Guild, Dark Brotherhood? etc

Faces certainly look a LOAD better. Major improvement over the generic fallout/NV/Oblivion faces that we've all experienced, and.. most of us detested.

Woodcutting/Cooking/Farming/Mining is all possible, or so it seems.

PS: Seems you can craft your own sword from "red hot steel"

PPS: More voice actors? Hurray. no more generic voices.

IT has Sprint! I'm happy about that. Just putting that out there.

Gorgeous stuff Bethesda. Any chance you were inspired by Frank Frazetta? The screenshots look similar to his work.

Yea, I read his post right after I posted. Sorry about that.

Talking to NPCs no longer freezes time or does the zoom in. NPCs can walk around while you talk with them.

There's mining, woodcutting and cooking.

Is it just me or does the story seem incredibly awesome?

Also @Eolath: if woodcutting and stuff like that are in, great! I love things like that!

Any news about a possible "hard-core" mode (need to drink/eat)???

I don't care about graphics, skills etc just give me a bloody hardcoe mode.

If they haven't implemented this simple thing I'm going to be so disappointed.

Good to hear about the improved faces and crafting. I'm particularly interested in smithing and repairing my own weapons and armour.

I think a dev said its not a werewolf

Again, whoever said this looks like Fallout 3 is quite mistaken. Wow. Just wow.

Poor Dragon Age 2. This doesn't bode well for it, graphically speakig.

Since cooking is in, it sounds plausible. Didn't read anything about it though.

There one screenshot that has 7 Magic skills during a level up how it seems. On the outer right hand side you can see another skill starting with the letters 'SMI...' the rest of it is not recognizable as it is cut off. I assume it is SMITHING ! ! !

What about level scaling, i just hope it's not like Oblivion.

That white creature is not a werewolf it is a troll. And yes there is dynamic shadows, they can be seen in the scans.

Anyone? Is there any mention of that stuff, at all?

I need to start hibernating, this is a lot of info.


A quick thanks to the whole Beth team on my way out as well.
from you and for you:
:cake:

The AI sounds great - and no more suicidal bridge walkers cutting off quests!

I think you mean screenshots?

Okay, one last question... do we see beards?

So, they've axed more skills... Can anyone post some info on how attributes are handled. From what little I've read it almost seems like they've removed them altogether, as you apparently just get to mess with Health and Magicka stuff at level up.

Also, this news about killing a quest giver results in a relative offering you the exact same quests, but for lower rewards or something. [censored]. This is like Fable level "consequence" for your actions. " I would have totally given you a hundred bucks for this job, but since you murdered my brother in his sleep... only fifty for you!"

No, Todd, it really isn't. If you don't like the name, change the name. But don't pretend like one school is any more redundant than the others.

EDIT: I really like the inclusion of duel-handed combat options and the perks, to be clear. It's just really frustrating that Beth seems to play this give and take. Throw in some awesome stuff, remove other features for some reason.
