So it's back in Cyriidal but you get to go to Skyrim? Is that right?

No, I was just joking. Hehe.

this right here doesn't seem like Beth would do...

Im surprised too. But its true.

Characters can now sprint by expending stamina.

They are amazing...but not jaw dropping...

Like they dont QUITE live up to the OMG GORGEOUS hype but they do look really really good.

its hard to explain without showing you

Also, dragons are "real and regular" threats. They fly into battles at unexpected times and can ravage towns.

*sniff sniff* I smell Warcraft.

Kidding, but seriously there must be more than that!

Three devs are now combing this thread. If the information within is false, we'll know. Soon.

In the meantime, this thread has exploded with a power so magnificent that it shakes the very foundations of Mundus.

"Smi" could be "Armorer" renamed "Smithing", which could imply some sort of craft system.

As in crafting items, yes.

Completely daydreaming about such a thing.

Smithing ?

I really don't see any other skills that start by smi...

Hurray!

Dude, how do the characters look now? Khajit/Argonians? Do the elves and men actually look like people now?

scans are up. Meaning he is telling the truth.. Meaning 18 skills

» Tue Jun 08, 2010 6:25 pm

I'll believe the OP, but contrasting info on graphics makes me think that those people are lying. Interesting how they waited for this post before speaking up.

Also, 18 skills. Sheeh.

well so it begins... Ive already seen the images. Looks nice. And OP you should have posted a pic of you holding your copy because no one can doubt you with a quick google search. Thanks man. Epic thread

Smithing ?

possibly Smiting.
hrm.

He is allowed to quote some small parts and a pic of him holding the mag is not against the rules.

A picture of him holding the magazine wouldn't be a problem; the cover has been shown already.

If it helps any, I do think he's got the magazine.

What types of wildlife, besides dragons, are there?

Yes it looks like a T after the "smi" so I think you're correct.

this is giving me a cencored

:o scans are up. Meaning he is telling the truth.. Meaning 18 skills

Holy [censored] hell. That means no swimming or climbing skills... Bethesda! Where are you gone?! :brokencomputer: If there's so few skills, I can easily imagine it will be less complex than Oblivion.

Again, if someone can answer : any pictures of faces ? Bethesda does great landscapes, but faces need cosmetic mods usually. Are we out of uncanny valley this time ?

» Tue Jun 08, 2010 1:32 pm

I thought so, but thank god

No...

There are apparently perks now and it sounds like the levelling system is different. Any skill growth contributes towards levelling, but raising a skill from 34 to 35 contributes more than from 12 to 13 for instance. There's apparently no level cap but 50 is a soft cap and it will be much slower from that on.

The game looks prety much like Fallout 3 with some better shaders...no dynamic shadows,ssao,etc

I highly doubt that. If it's true, I'll be very disappointed.

I mean seriously, basically every game has dynamic shadows these days

There is a wolf, a deer, and a HUGE-ass spider

The huge-ass spider has dynamic shadows on the wall so I think the game does have them

who wanted sprint back curse you!!

on combat
"The core change is the addition of a two hands/two options approach to combat. Every weapon or spell in the game can be equipped in either hand at any time, leading to limitless combinations of attack options. Dual wield two of the same weapon, or put a dagger in one hand and a mace in the other. Fight defensively with a shield in one hand and a cracking ball of electricity in the other. Set two completely different spells in either hand or the same spell in both hands, letting you combine the spells t extrordinary effect. The choice is yours"

Seriously.

What about the level scaling enemies? What does it say about those fetchers?

If someone with a copy of the magazine wants to start a second iteration they may. You can do this right away but if you're going to give us a synopses please edit the information in to your OP so people don't have to read the whole thread to find it.

Also, when GI revealed the Oblivion cover their were subscribers who got their issues the next day - it certainly wouldn't surprise me if the same is true this time around so please don't accuse people of lying.
