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

I'll ask these for you

Mind taking mine in the same trip ?

1. About hostile NPCs. I was wondering if they were going to have the same abilities as us : maybe it's too much to hope for that one could kill you with just one arrow ; but I'd really like them to be able to sneak on me. On the same subject, will they display strategy in fights, especially when attacking in group ?

2. Journal/quests updates. We had some info about the UI, but I don't believe that topic has been talked about. What has changed ? And in particular, will we see the disappearance of the Oblivion-type quest updates ? Or at least, have they been made very, very, very discreet ?

3. Quests. Now I understand that two characters, having different skills, having followed different paths, will not get exactly the same mission. But does that mean we can expect multichoice, multipaths quests of the type of "Raven Rock" in Bloodmoon or "The Matchmaker" in Tribunal ?

4. Writing. The various updates and articles have covered many subjects, but not it. What can you tell us about it - in-book games, Lore, dialogues, etc ?

They won't make it, but I'd feel happier knowing I didn't spend all that time trying to post on GI for no result.

Will Redguards have the option of dreadlocks? Not the crazy Bob Marley ones... just http://khamitkinks.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/tra2.jpg

That is all :thumbsup:

If someone could ask this for me I'll be pleased although I know it will not be asked

Can/have anyone asked about flails, cliffracer mounts, wolf, bear, and mammoth mounts, if spells have certain effects in water, and if you gain damage if in really cold water...

sry if this stuff have already been asked...

Todd: Ok, one last question. Sorry, I've got to go!

GI: *Panics and skims the list* Um... Will there be cliffracer mounts and can you gain damage in cold water?

Hmm...

No thank you.

Just had a look at the questions posted on GI. Someone posted " What if I want to play a tranny character?" God, I'd love to hear Todd's answer to that.

That actually looks pretty cool. I hope there are long hair variations for all the races, including something like that for Redguards.

I don't really have a question for Todd that hasn't already been posted or would likely be answered, but I hope GI choose the questions wisely. Todd always seems both pragmatic and enthusiastic in his approach to games, and I can't wait to hear what he has to say to some of these.

» Tue Jan 18, 2011 7:43 pm

I hope good questions are asked and not stupid ones like, "Will There be Snow in Skyrim" or "What's a Nord".

» Tue Jan 18, 2011 10:02 pm

I'm pretty sure he'll only answer questions regarding new features, not old or lost ones

» Tue Jan 18, 2011 11:19 am

All I want to know is: Will this be called a Toddcast?

» Tue Jan 18, 2011 8:21 pm

What I really wanna know is whether or not they have bathrooms at all in Skyrim...
:teehee:

PS: I don't have an account at GI, so go ahead and ask if you want to know too

» Tue Jan 18, 2011 11:37 pm

I hope somebody asks him the question "What are the 18 skills in Skyrim". I'm dying to find out what they are.

» Tue Jan 18, 2011 8:36 pm

Can you alter your appearance once the game is under way? (I mean facial hair here really! I'd like to RP i'd been in prison for ages at the beginning and have a mad beard! But I'd probably like to cut it off later!)

He'll only answer it if he wants to. They will choose the questions before hand to make sure he can actually answer them at this point.

He'll only answer it if he wants to. They will choose the questions before hand to make sure he can actually answer them at this point.

That is true as he wouldn't be able to answer the question "How does the main quest end or does Esbern die during the main quest". I do hope that he is given good questions that can be answered but not stupid ones like "What's a Nord" or something similar.

will auto aim will be optional?
will hand to hand be different depending on race?
can we use a fist in one hand and weapon/spell/shield in the other?
will there be spears?

» Tue Jan 18, 2011 10:18 am

Can Stealth/Thievery ever really work in an RPG, or is it inherently either broken or unplayable?

Does having many plot alternatives compromise the story quality? . Is it more satisfying to let the player tell the story through multiple outcomes, or tell a good one yourself through a linear series of quests?

Why Skyrim?

Given that most players tend to become jack-of-all trades, how will you make each players experience Unique?

pleas aske : Will there be starsigns and attributes?

» Tue Jan 18, 2011 8:06 am

» Tue Jan 18, 2011 1:12 pm

Hi Todd, what's your perfect Sunday?

EDIT: This is a joke, please don't actually answer this question or the forum will hate me forever!
