Encumbrance in is - it will be interesting to see how they implement it. Selecting a perk on a level up to increase it slightly is boring. I hope it is tied to the number of perks that rely on strength and it is being monitored as a background stat. IE the more strength type of perks I pick - such as one handed or 2 handed weapons, the higher my encumbrance is.

Naah, it would not be called "New".

I'm sure someone else will have pointed this out, but I can't see any discussion on the last few pages?

Anyway, it's confirmed there are 9, not 20+, smaller settlements.

"Skyrim has five major cities, each with their own culture and architecture, and eight or nine smaller towns."

New crime system also suggests more advanced system of being caught maybe? ^^

Its almost a given that there wioll be carry cap increasing perks in various skills... its not just warriors after all that need more space.

This.

I think more realistic speed would be better for the lore aspect(of course including special increases for races like Khajiit, and of course special magickal bonuses possible) and would additionally improve gameplay. Instead of running as fast as my horse everywhere, I would prefer to have a realistic difference between all modes of movement from walk, to jog, to sprint, to riding on a mount. Again, I look to Assassins Creed for those examples. Different movement speeds make the world feel bigger, more difficult to traverse, and increase my personal immersive experience. For instance, when the NPCs say it takes a 2 days journey to get somewhere, it better be half way across the map and be based on a fast walking speed. And even then, I shouldn't be able to run there in 2 minutes. At least 5-10 minutes IRL would be better.

HALT! HALT! HALT!

Because every person in the world do not run at the exact same speed. A thief is supposed to run faster and jump higher than a big bulky warrior. Taking away variation of movement speed takes away a lot of tactical elements as well as character definition. If they have a fixed run speed and no way to increase it, it will be an extremely bad decision on Beth' side.


And no, it's not fixed by simply improved how long you can sprint, a nimble athletic person will run faster than someoen who's more aimed towards being strong and powerful, and it should work like that in the game aswell.

my god..the orcs are BEAUTIFUL ...tears shall fall like oblivion gaTES from my eyes when i play this game

May i ask what the daggerfall system was like,i'm just curious...i started with morrowind.
You don't have to explain if you can't be bothered.But if you could,it would be appreciated.

*Edit* Thanks OP for the link/interview. :thumbsup:

:D

Hopeful the new crime system will be more involving. Like a Daggerfall +1, if you will.

Thanks for the heads up dude. Nice small chunk of info. That's set my day up now. Thanks again. Peace out. ^^

No matter how long it is, Todd always gives a great interview.

Glad to hear about the different jails, it probably has something to do with the severity of your crime, a mass murderer is gonna go to a maximum security prison instead of the local detention center. Also means it gonna be harder to escape. I accept your challenge bethesda!

No more psychic guards probably! yay.

THANK YOU for this thread and info.

Can someone please make a compilation of all interviews and videos relevant to Skyrim?

How about faster sprint?

Ooo! I'm liking the sound of these different jails!! I'm already thinking of an Elder Scrolls style maximum security prison, filled with all the most dangerous criminals in Skyrim! Maybe you will be able to free some of them to help you break out if you get caught!

I can see people just going round killing everyone just so they can see the different prisons!!!

EDIT: How right was he about killing the first person you see when you get given a gun/sword/spell!!

Hadn't seen this other Todd interview before, which contains two interesting snippets:

With respect to the start of the game: (near the beginning)

And something about a dragonshout that can make you run faster. (near the end)

Sorry if this is old info (but I check here very regularly, and I haven't seen it before)

One prison for the average criminal, one for criminals awaiting execution, and one for soon-to-be heroes to escape from so that they can save the world.

So, can I say "goodbye" to those days where being caught trying to break into someone's house ("It's my house, I swear! My brother locked me out!") and killing someone in cold blood are equally offensive? Great! I was really tired of the guards trying to kill me for just about every wrong move I made.

The video isn't working for me, it get's as far as asking my DOB, so I type in dd/mm/yyyy and it doesn't do anything

[censored] backwards Americanisms ??

Indeed, it could be something as simple as High Security and Low Security.

Epic fail :facepalm:

I inserted my birthday, but instead of putting my actual year there I put 2011... Brain fart. Now the site won't let me enter it again, it seems it actually thought I was a few days old. Oh gawd what a stupid computer :brokencomputer: :brokencomputer: :brokencomputer: :brokencomputer:

Any siggestions what I could do to bypass this? Maybe someone could put it up on youtube? (it's not there atm)
