When he says the guard stopped him, does the game freeze like in oblivion? god i hope not.

Thanks for posting. Resurrecting a Khajiit is cool, but Khajiit ghosts would earn game of the decade.

Khajiit Ghost is just a blueish Khajiit... While Reanimated Khajiit Zombies are... Undead creatures of no-beauty. :flame:

I didn't break any rules.

Yeah I don't know why he quoted you...

necromancers can resurrect chickens and harvest their eggs.

Lolwut? So necromancers resurrect dead chickens to make undead omlettes? Thats got to have been a joke.

he was referring to the fact the game world stops in the conversations.

Curse you!

<---- my face after reading the new info. It's best to wait till the screens are officially released.

Also, regarding the horse, he most likely stole the horse in front of a few NPC's and when he returned to the scene, he was stopped.

ok screen shots

the first is of a dragon in flight shooting flames at the player. the player is shooting an arrow at the dragon. the article points out the scale of the dragon saying that it dwarfs the buildings that are underneath the dragon.

the second shows the player using alchemy equipment from the 3rd person perspective. in the device is a green liquid and gas. the player is hunched over a mortar and pestal. he is wearing a blue/purple robe and a greyish hood which draqes over his shoulders and back a bit.

the third is of a female player in the horned helmet and hide(?) armor. she is in a camp of some sort looks like it has a watch tower made of logs.

next is a small screen shot of the lockpicking mini game. looks like a skyrim themed version of the fallout lockpick game (not new).

fifth we see what looks like the player with a companion in a partially flooded dungeon, they are approaching a skeleton that is shackled to a post with water pouring down over him.

next is a guard with a torch and a full face helmet.

next is a player dual casting a fire spell in a robe and hood.

they show an awesome shot of the night sky with the northern lights.

player shooting a bear with an enchanted glowing bow (this looks really cool)

a giant mudcrab, looks freaking huge.

and a really good looking female npc.

all of these shots look amazing! i can not wait for this game!

What I mean is that I have heard stories that the guards act more realistic, but then I hear stories about how the guards are telepathic like in Oblivion

Pete all but said once that guards are still telepathic. The difference is that the different holds have different crime statistics, so if you steal a horse in Riverwood, the guards in Solitude won't know/care.

» Sat Sep 17, 2011 3:29 am

Nope, the horse went back to town and reported the crime. :woot:

you know, due to the limitations of the responsibility stat and crime system in oblivion, horses reporting their own theft was an actual possibility. this might be a genuine concern... :cryvaultboy:

he didn't say. but I have faith that its not like that again.

not a joke. todd used it as an example of how there are things in the game that amaze him, and that he is unsure of all of the things we will encounter when we get our hands on the game.

off to check the mail....
no dice

» Fri Sep 16, 2011 6:26 pm

BLARG. It's too bad we can't post scans or anything. It's the most effecient (and least-costly) way to spread info.... :banghead:

On a side note, did you see how Gears 3 got a 10? I can hardly wait the 5 days.

» Fri Sep 16, 2011 6:55 pm

Is the magazine out yet?

The new footage shows someone talking to Alvor and the NPCs kept moving.

I know that, but im wondering if guards act differently when theyre after you.
