New Skyrim info coming in Playstation the Official Magazine : V - Skyrim

» Wed May 18, 2011 8:25 pm

I mentioned this in another thread, but it would be kickass if there were side quests where a hold might send you to commit a crime in a rival hold, like to sabotage someones economy. I can even see some Dark Brotherhood quests where contracts are put out out on people in a rival holds.

This might go well with the separate bounties, because if you destroy a rival holds economy, you might gain popularity in the other hold.

This latest info about the separate bounties, combined with previous comments from Todd about there being "a lot more" factions in Skyrim, suggests:

The clans that rule each hold might turn out to be separate, joinable factions...that's NINE NEW FACTIONS!! ZOMFG! :drool: :drool:

Jinjo, can you edit the OP and add the descriptions of the screens please? Anyone who's seen the article have a guess as to what town/city is in the screen with the open landscape?

You already asked that and I already have. They're at the bottom of my post.

Anyone know how many were in Oblivion?

Couldn't find Oblivions, but Fallout 3 boasted "over 40,000 lines of dialogue."

Is there 9 different environments/regions for the 9 different Holds?

that would be cool, imagine walking into a rival hold and instantly being hated, they jack up the prices only for you while your hold cuts prices if you have popularity there.
This would also go well with the info about being challenged to duels, lol.

@Jinjo Thanks.

Compainions?? That sounds lame.

Someone posted this before, but here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Companion_cavalry

Stupid name, excellent possibilities...

The regional bounties sound good.
As do horse mounts. And the nerfed guard leveling.

11/11/11 can't get here soon enough.

Their faction is probably going to be part of the comic relief of Skyrim.

You mean to say hand to hand isn't a skill anymore right?

This had quite a bit of nice reveals in it... I wonder what they're saving for E3?

» Thu May 19, 2011 9:02 am

The Companions, like, The Three Musketeers. Like The Riders of Rohan.

The Warriors Guild?

vsions(Character Designer) said in thread III of this about exploding pinguins(Easter Egg probably confirmed)

Well dammit while were at it why not add exploding penguins to the list as well.....

(for the record there are no exploding penguins in Skyrim.......or are there?)

Woot exploding pinguins easter egg

Edit: Don't forget it Vsions or put Exploding Baby dragons like Suicide Baby Dragons that's gonna stick to you and Explode that's better Wicked Creature Exploding Baby Dragon

The Warriors Guild?

I can't take anyone who calls themselves "The Compainions" seriously. The first thing I'll do is wipe them out.

Random thought: I hope there's a Cheers easter egg. :foodndrink:

» Thu May 19, 2011 2:45 am

Has anyone found the mag online?

» Thu May 19, 2011 4:16 am

There's also a screenshot of the typical Nord chracter holding a elven or glass sword fighing against a yeti like creature.

You mean like a tavern named "Cheers" or actually having a cheers with someone?

How different is it compared to the GI one?

~~Stupid~~intriguing name, excellent possibilities...

Very interesting article, thanks for posting this again!

Sounds like the the elite king's guard "Companions" of Macedonia could be a more likely influence on this faction than the "Brave Companions" gang of thugs from Song of Ice and Fire series.
