Got the Magazine ! : V - Skyrim

» Fri Jun 11, 2010 9:40 pm

Guys, guys: This is only the beginning of the information storm that's going to hit us. This article is supposed to wet our whistles while we wait for the next big information explosion. Relax. They threw us a bone.

It seems you can't actually "shape your own weapon" - or atleast I don't think that's the point. However you'll be able to craft, say, a steel sword. and this will cost you X amount of materials.

Cooking too !

Do you guys reccomend people to get the magazine?
But anyway after 7000 steps the view better be epic. The crafting sounds great, I hope it doesn't go too mmo in this regard though

I don't know if this has been asked and answered elsewhere, but will there be a construction kit?

The character models look great.

Damn you got it fast! O__O Lucky I hope mine gets here before the 19th

So i take it it shows screen shots? Any info about werewolves in it or hints about them? *crosses fingers*

I think someone said that they said our furry friends from solstheim will be back. Assuming that means werewolves. I hope we see vampires too >,< there are only a few things I wanna be certain of these two and armor slots.

5 major cities confirmed.

Will be interesting to see how many joinable factions there are, and the conflicts between them.

Also; Shield bash, Hurray. Sounds fun!

PS: Leveling is from L1 to L50. Hopefully the levels wont go a load faster, though.

They recognize the fact that the Oblivion menus were cumbersome. There's a menu button which enables a compass like overlay, with 4 options: skills, inventory, map, magic. Completely different looking menus for each. More graphics, less lists and names.

Not sure if it's really better in terms of navigation, we'll see. The magic screen looks pretty anyway.

I think that's self-explanatory. Although I'd like to know more about how they plan to improve the modding process for us. Maybe easier importation of meshes, not along the lines of UDK and the Unreal Engine, but better than what we had...

Let's face it, without modding Oblivion would be just another game really.

Spears? Spears?! Spears?!?!

5 major cities confirmed.

OB had 6, MW had...I don't recall right now.

I am more interested to see the minor cities and settlements. :touched:

5 major cities confirmed.

Ay info on number of smaller settlements and whether you can levitate over cities?

» Fri Jun 11, 2010 12:40 pm

SMITHING IS IN! You can see the skill in one of the screenshots on the outer right side next to the list of magic skills...

From reading what scans I could find I'm a bit worried in the simplification of lists and screens; Lionhead went down this route and ruined Fable (Off with Molyneux's head for the monstrosities that are Fable 2 and 3 >:[)

Other than that the graphics look amazing and the fact that dragons can attack towns might give us a glimmer of hope for open cities (YES!)

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

T___T I want my werewolves back!!! T___T grrr I need more info to see if they are returning or not T__T

The combat system is also overhauled, Every weapon or spell can be equipped on both hands, Duel Wield does also exist.

» Fri Jun 11, 2010 9:02 pm

Someone said there wasn't any 2h weapons... IS THIS TRUE?

Also is there ANY news about a transportation system? I mean... besides the fast traveling? :/

» Fri Jun 11, 2010 7:27 pm

Im really starting to wonder about weapon types in the game...

» Fri Jun 11, 2010 11:42 pm

Also duel wield weapons are to the max(magic on one hand sword on other ala bioshock)

thar be mods minding the pages, so no sources...

» Fri Jun 11, 2010 6:39 pm

T___T I want my werewolves back!!! T___T grrr I need more info to see if they are returning or not T__T

at least there are two nasty wolves in one screenshot. from the looks of them i would assume that there are werewolves too...

Spears? Spears?! Spears?!?!

I don't think we have confirmation yet, I really hope spears are in, my favourite weapons.
