not being able to JUMP in Skyrim : V

» Tue Jun 29, 2010 4:32 pm

So I was playing the witcher 2 as many of you suggested NOT to do. And while my mind was filled with rage about the money spent away, worries attacked me out of nowhere, clues became puzzle parts combining themselves in my mind! here are my fears - 3 reasons why there will be no jumping in Skyrim

1) Since the last 3 singleplayer RPGS ive played this year had no jumping in them!
2) Since we have no acrobatic skill.
3) Since they said "some mountains will be too steep and you will have to pass around them"

:cryvaultboy: :sadvaultboy:

EDIT: ive posted this so you can tell me im stupid and wrong! hippity woopity jumping around plz :<

The steep mountains were kind of annoying in oblivion... I think it would be cool to use tools in Skyrim that can help you climb mountains

Some one asked Pete the other day on twitter about jumping and he said "An exploit that had been rendered useless in Skyrim".....

Baseless fears, don't worry, we'll be able to jump. It's an open world for christ sake

Um, oblivion had mountains to steep to pass without using paths. Morrowind as well (Although levitate was neat). Even fallout had some areas like that.

I think your worries are baseless. Its hard to see why they'd remove that mechanic. Especially since its a new engine. Stripping that feature out would be like shooting themselves in the foot if they use this engine for anything else.

so you are basing your fears on companies other than bethesda? thats seems like a reliable source, in what bethesda game can you not jump?

I'm sure he meant that you cannot level up by jumping around. You know, the main reason why they removed acrobatics and athletics.

whoa we can't jump.. that is stupid someone please tell me these are lies

You can jump.

The twitter post was about Acrobatics, which was removed as it's a redundant skill. And jumping around would increase your level, thus making it "An exploit that had been rendered useless in Skyrim".

Don't base such things on other games. Other companies can screw their game up as much as they want by removing jumping, but from what I know of Bethesda, they won't. (They love us you know!

)

I'm actually glad that Bethesda removed acrobatics and athletics, but I do hope that they'll incorporate those skills into the player somehow. It would not make sense for everyone limited to the same run speed and same acrobatic abilities when I know for a fact that agility, endurance, and strength definitely affects how a person moves and fights. I for one, would hate to lose the ability of creating an assassination/high agility/speedy type character that can't outrun a heavily armored warrior or an out-of-shape mage.

lol

I'm sorry, Bidderlyn, but this seems more like a jumpy doom-saying than anything on your part, to be perfectly honest. But if you're talking about whether or not the NPCs will be able to jump, on the other hand...

They will probably be perk related boosts...

No jumping? Thats rediculous!! I hope!

Who ever told you not to get TW2 ? The witcher 1 is a real masterpiece and so is it's sequel.

» Tue Jun 29, 2010 10:16 pm

i can say with 99% certainty you can still jump it just wont be under a skill

and such is the mindset of beth, this alone tells me that the engine hasnt change, new engine shouldn't = still be able to run up steep inclines ala Oblivion. and since they axed acrobatics and Athletics lol :facepalm:
will we be able to jump? I don't see why not, will we not be able to jump over gates like in FO3? probably. will it be useful in that matter?

Nope

Im sure you can still jump.
Seriously, not being able to jump in a game is preposterous to me.

» Tue Jun 29, 2010 12:53 pm

Why would you not be able to jump and just because 3 other RPG's didn't have jumping doesn't mean that Beth won't have it.

In Witcher the npcs don't react if you steal their stuff in their presence. Should I be worried about stealing in Skyrim now?

» Tue Jun 29, 2010 8:33 pm

I was just saying that so you guys can shout on me "WE CAN JUMP! NOW SHUT UP".

Now I can finally rest in peace.

That's easily solved with perks and equipment bonuses and/or penalties.

Would you kindly think before you jump to the conclusion that the game is ruined...
