I love orcs in all their forms but couldn't play one in Oblivion since they looked so bad. The Skyrim orc looks [censored] badass! :thumbsup:

It is. It allows you to quickly select a preset set of weapons/spells, without having to look through your inventory or spell list and swapping them out.

P.S. Don't confuse the quickmenu with hotkeys.

That's not something that I remember about Oblivion. Quick menu? How was it accessed?

BTW this sounds a lot like the quick menu in Planescape Torment, if I'm reading it right...

I can't wait.

Reading the articles, it seems there are going to be multiple ways to solve a quest like in Fallout 3.

Also looking at the new pictures and rewatching the trailer, I just saw many small details I've missed before. Small ones like animation, the dog, the background, they mostly add to the atmosphere.
I don't know why, but my favourite scene became the one where a Draugr points his axe at the character and gargles something, like "get 'im" or he casts a spell, I don't know.
These small details really helps making the game a lot more lively.

EVERYTHING!
Even the Orcs look awesome.

I believe the term your looking for is "ugly green piggies".

Yes I believe thats what you meant. :wink_smile:

This!

Aside from the gender choice, which I'm glad is being retained, I'm very glad that the game doesn't have multiplayer. So many games these days have multiplayer slapped on when it isn't needed, it's good to know that Skyrim won't have it.

Everything :shrug:

Seriously since the reveal trailer till now all of the things that were confirmed are awesomne IMO. Skyrim really is shaping up to be the greatest game ever...

I don't think that there is anything that I am disappointed with. I mean at first I was concerned about a lot of things when the game was announced, but after understanding why they made the changes that they have, I am very happy with how everything is turning out.

Quickmenu is what "hotkeys" are called in the console version. So it would stand when they said the favorites menu would be the quickmenu, then that would be the same as was in Oblivion console version. That's just what has been pieced together from what has been said and it could be just a mistake in the info or something else. But if they are using the same terminology as they were for the console version of Oblivion, the quickmenu would be the hotkeys.



It's accessed by the Dpad on the 360 controller and it is also the numbered hotkeys in the PC version. I still refer to it as a quickmenu. If I'm right and it is the same quick menu (hotkeys), then it's going to be annoying when the game pauses.

I really don't mind the 3d world map unless i have to wait quite some time for it to load it up every time i want to see it. Otherwise i wouldn't really mind a pretty well drawn normal map

As I understand it, in Oblivion, on the console, each of the eight circles in Oblivion's hotkey menu was tied to a button on the console. That means you could hit a button and it happened. The Quickmenu, as far as I understand it, has one button to push to bring it up. You then scroll through it to find the setup you want. It doesn't have hotkeys. The PC version will, though.

Yea, I like everything I've seen and heard so far.

Confused Turtle mode is back.

Yes it is.

One of my characters will be a confused turtle and it will be funny.

Then he will shout at things.

what is the link that has all this info?

I'd rather it didn't pause the game when selecting through menus.

I like a challenge but thats just me.

the characters... nom nom nom! the orc looked AWESOME

And i really like the really game depth, like when you drop a sword, people can start fighting about it or give it back to you lol
