All I have to say is... Lazy. 50% of the questions were already answered, only 2-3 of them were important. I'd take 2-3 screenshots over these questions any day.

Make the poll single option only

Somebody'll probably vote for all the options.

Overall dissapointed with the Q&A, most of the info already known and the bits they did give us, like romance, are "meh" for me.

All in all, I'm pleased. I don't agree with all the decisions, but I see the reasoning for it and am willing to give it a try before I judge.

As for the amount of redundancy, remember that the questions were submitted back in May. We've gotten a lot of new info since then. Personally, I don't think too many things were repeated, and its nice to have official confirmation on some of what was. Every single question asked was something someone (often, many someones) wanted to know.

If I can't focus on making my character move a lot faster than they do at the start of the game, that's a deal-breaker for me.

For me, that's just as bad as taking away strength completely so your character will always be as strong as when you first create them. :confused:

Hopefully I'm just mis-interpreting what was said in the Q&A...

the fact that it wasn't a big fat NO to the werewolf question seems like a ray of hope.....on the other stuff....i thought it was fine but i did feel like some of the questions were redundant

Options 2 and 5 suit me the most. I like most of what I see and since I'm getting the PC version first this time around, I got what I don't like covered.

I'm glad about the fat and thin morph factor. Marriage... (woah... I'm looking forward to marriage? [censored] don't tell the GF :whistling: )

A bit not so enthused about the whole armor and smithing info tbh. It's a bit... :stare:

I think lycanthropy might be included in a DLC, because of the complexity of making the werewolf character designs and attack animations look believable and up to the high standard of all the other new animations and character design.

There are no fat people. Only heavy and light types. Both have been shown in screenshots. Both look like steroid junkies.

Disappointed. After reading the QA, I was left with a bland "meh" feeling.

This game is firmly heading towards a bargain bin for me. Shame.

The only thing I am disappointed about is the length of the Q&A... only 25 questions? Really? Oblivion's had 100+

There are somethings that annoy me and some that I'm quite happy with. Believe it or not merging Cuirass and Greaves is one thing that I'm quite happy about, though I'm surprised I'm happy about this; I know I've been part of the more customization movement but I can't find any issue with their reasoning. I LOVE Tavern Brawls and though I'm a little excited

What really pisses me off is enchanting (though since we don't know what amounts we're talking about) being the same. Playing melee characters means you need enchanted weapons and every slash takes a charge... it just did not work particularly well. Also I would've liked some active enchantments on armour, not just passive.

Your right but it's due to the fact it took them 2 months and that meant that if they answered it in interviews they could of changed the questions out, because it was also officially said that someone went to go make changes so it was delayed.

I'm just saying were hopefully were for most people that's were the dissappointment came from, if not then eh well lol.

Best info: tavern brawls, partly destructible environment! :thumbsup:
Worst info: getting married, restoring enchantments with soul gems like in Oblivion. :down:

half the poll options mean the same thing. just ask i agree with all, i agree with most, i disagree with most, i disagree with all.

the only thing that im really disappointed it is not having a 64bit executable. that is just insane. alot if not most gamers have switched to windows 7 not and use more than 2 GB of RAM. they know about the texture mods that will eventually require more than 2 GB to run. normally its not a big deal since you can change it yourself but STEAM wont start the game up if you change the exe file. ill have to wait for some modder to do what they did with fallout NV.

So basically what they're saying is "We know how much our fans love Morrowind, so we're going out of our way to make Skyrim nothing like that. But don't worry - we all know how much you all love the Fable series, so you'll see a lot of similarities there."
