Next GI podcast, “Ask Todd Howard About Skyrim” : V - Skyrim

» Tue Jan 18, 2011 10:49 am

I'd like to know to what extent armor is customizable. Will pauldrons be separate objects for example?

I'd also like to know if there is cloth physics in the game.

How moddable will Skyrim be? How much control will the Creation Kit give to modders? Will modders have access to some of the new features (like the new tree-gen used to create Skyrim)?

» Tue Jan 18, 2011 8:11 pm

I've put up two questions via GI: will MK be writing any in-game books and when will we be hearing more about the out-of-game books.

Good ones. I like both of these questions. I hope he answers about MK. Still...Game Informer is picking the questions right? I don't see them selecting one with the words "writing" and "books"... :shrug: :read:

can they please confirm if spell creation is not in skyrim like the Italian article claims

» Tue Jan 18, 2011 5:21 pm

Has anybody asked about conjuration yet? I'd like to know if we can summon more than one creature at a time.

Conjuration has been asked; I hope we can summon more than one creature just like in MW.

lostinspace i still can't post questions and i signed up two days ago. Could you ask these questions

If they are included in the game, what are the physical traits of the vampires?

And

I what i heard is correct and there is a random encounter helping giants, that must require some communication with them, do the giants speak the same language as the player, or the language skills back from daggerfall or is it just them grunting at you?

Thanks lostinspace.

Read better : I can't help you, I am also waiting upon the kindness of others.

And for the second question, I doubt Todd will answer : that bit was in the article about Tech, and it was quickly edited at the wish of Bethesda. Either there's no basis to it, or there is, but Bethesda isn't a 100% certain they will implement it.

Can you give us any info on Vampires or Werewolfs?

» Tue Jan 18, 2011 10:59 am

I'd like to ask something, but I don't have a GI account.

So, here it is!

1. Will the events of The Infernal City (and its upcoming sequel) have any major impact on the events of Skyrim? And if so, to what extent?
2. On the topic of The Infernal City, will any of the Daedra introduced in the Infernal City (Hobs, and Sul's scorpion/spider/hornet) be present in Skyrim?

» Tue Jan 18, 2011 8:50 am

Will there be talking Scamps like in Morrowind that hand out free drinks?

Will there be saunas? According to The Infernal City they are popular in Skyrim.

Will the story about that child who was born with a knife for a right-hand and carved himself out of his mother make an appearance in the darker corners of Skyrim? Maybe as a boss or companion or NPC?

Will there be a region in between where it snows and where it rains where there is freezing drizzle and whenever you try to run you slip and fall on your butt? Because that is what the weather channel is forecasting for where I live, generally turning Pennsylvania into Skyrim weather wise...

So. It's doubtful any question posted now will make it (sorry for those held by the GI bug, I share your pain).

Care to place a bet on what questions will be answered ?

I know quite a few asked the kind of off-topic stuff we ask in the "devs" thread. Some of my money will go on that, and on info already present in european mags. GI will cut out the questions answered in their coverage, but the best way for them to select questions that will find an answer is to select questions that have been already answered - but that not everybody knows about. -_-

Not setting my hopes too high.

@ LostInSpace - you made a comment in the previous thread about the virtues of Todd answering questions on GI, rather than here: namely, that if Todd were to answer questions in good faith here, he'd probably end up giving away too much information and spoil a lot of the game for us.

Don't disagree with that, but just to add a followup thought. It seems that Todd could give us some useful information about stuff we care about, without giving away too many details. For example, with fast travel, he could just say "Yes, there will be more immersive modes of fast travel in Skyrim, but we aren't ready to say what they are". Or, with spellmaking, he could just say "Yes, mages will have substantial options available for customising their spells, but we aren't ready to say more about that." I guess I hope we get something like that.

how does knowing what is inside the game spoil it?
we are bound to find out sooner or later, and sooner would mean less pointless bickering over speculation.

Okay, for those of you who didn't see that, since the announcement was late for Europeans, and since the http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1162963-ask-todd-howard-about-skyrim/ is nearly dead :

http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2011/01/28/ask-todd-howard-about-skyrim.aspx

Guessed ETA for Todd Howard's podcast, thursday february 3^rd :

To add a question :

Folks who don't have a Game Informer account and wish to ask a question that isn't already among the comments, please make it clear in your post : the few who have an account can try and post them.

If you *do* register at Game Informer though, be warned that your comments (like mine or other's) may end up not showing. We don't know the cause : if such is the case, get them reposted by someone else.

Note that questions about spears, pikes, crossbows and or any other sharp implement devised to throw or poke with, have already been duly asked.

... Yep, fast-travel, were-things and vamps have been asked about too.

I posted like 5 - 6 times I gived up posting there , my comments never appeared ....

Anyway I hope there will be a transliteration of what will be said for non English speackers ....

Haven't heard any of their podscasts. You guys think there's a chance they'd play the theme in it?
