New Todd Howard Interview with IGN : V - Skyrim

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 3:05 pm

Yay! I hope so. (Because Havok isn't... the best...)

Did you even read the interview at all?
"We still use some middleware that we like, such as Havok. We're not just using their physics this time, but their animation system, Havok Behavior."

Hmmm could this possibly be a goblin?

Dunmer.

Many thanks Speccy... saves me so much time and effort which I don't have to search for Skyrim info myself (which I'd probably miss anyway)

Kudos

What physics system are they using?

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 4:52 pm

Did he say THREE dragons tailing him?! And an infinite amount of dragons in the game?! YES! :drool:

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 6:36 pm

remember that dragons can take on human form ,..... so maybe we can ride some when they are out of their dragon form ???

What?

What physics system are they using?

I don't know, DMM maybe?

What else is there, really? And I'm serious, I don't know much about physics engines.

Edit: I'm glad they aren't using Havok physics, it's been looking pretty old for a few years now.

If you read the article, they are use the Havok physics engine AND the Havok behavior engine.

:blush2:

Oops! I must have skipped over the essential word, "just".

How embarrassing, thanks for pointing it out though.

I did not, I just read his comment and a few quoted lines. I just hope their animation system is better than the crappy one they have used in their past few games. We all know how those animations were. >.>

Dunmer.

Agreed, the proportions aren't very goblin-like. It's likely a Dunmer.

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 9:23 pm

( and screw spell making who needs it we got 85 spell effects)

if they were spell EFFECTS like blind slow fall, damage Health Drain health etc etc then there would be spell making without a problem.

These are SPELLS not spell effects from what we've been told so far...

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 10:57 pm

Skyrim confirmed to be rated AO and very disturbing.

hmmm a few years from now I bet someone will make an advlt movie about a guy/girl and a SGI dragon :spotted owl:

I thought they aren't using Havoc physics but are using Havoc Behavior?

no no I mean spell effects as in you can use the spell in more than one way (flame throwing, fire ball, explosion, fire trap) not the lame ass old system from OB and MW

Re-read the article.

Very important word. It means they ARE.
"We're not just using their physics this time, but their animation system, Havok Behavior."

Dunmer.

Why is no one saying Draugr? That seems more likely to me considering that the wall in the background is the same as the wall in http://i55.tinypic.com/r1x20j.jpg.

Eh, maybe you're right. Skin textures look different. :confused:

Edit: IT IS MOST DEFINITELY A DUNMER

Thanks

Armor looks http://pcmedia.ign.com/pc/image/article/115/1158651/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-20110330052317887.jpg :thumbsup:

That's my new PC-background

I think I can sleep in peace tonight, knowing that Bethesda haven't screwed this game up(as far as we know, at least). Hehe, jk I know they won't mess up Skyrim

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 1:45 pm

He just confirmed having main stats, that you level once per level up. I know some people were worried about Strength and stuff being taken out. Should calm some of their fears.

I'm pretty sure 'main stats' refers to Health, Magicka, and Stamina.

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 2:01 pm

Speccy, thanks for posting this info - appreciated.

"We're not just using their physics this time, but their animation system, Havok Behavior."

Thanks I get it now Haha!

"We still use the nif file format, because it worked fine for what we're doing and our modders know it well"
How awesome is that? Making a design choice while having modders in mind? Somebody tell me again that PC gaming is dead.
