@DCDeacon Are the cities in their own Worldspaces or open?

@Scharesoft Everything outside is one open space. Interiors are separate spaces.

The plot thickens!

@DCDeacon You made the forums pretty happy with the tweet about the outside world being one open space.

I love the news! Thank you!

@The_Impaler22 Uh, why? It's been like that in every ES game we've made for the last decade +?

And most recently...

@SamuelBacklin Yup. Had a brain fart. They were talking about loads. I don't know the answer for the cities. Sry for confusion. I svck

So, we're back to where we started, without a clue. :sadvaultboy:

Not really confirmed. Just implied.

"Everything outside is one open space. Interiors are separate spaces."

Cities are outside. Sounds like confirmation to me!

Yeah, it sounds very vague...

Still, it could be great news!

Not too surprising given the presence of hostile dragons, but good to know all the same. Thanks!

Awesome!!!

Arthmoor can make other mods instead now

Oh, oh, oh my god... Wait, wait, does this mean that, there's no gate you have to enter and load into a city??? Just, the ENTIRE outside area is one cell, but there is still loading screens for going inside houses and stuff???

Heck yes! AWESOME

Hopefully. Hey this gives levitation a fighting chance too.

» Fri May 13, 2011 3:59 pm

KICK ASS!!!! That probably means that levitation is in too!!!

That sounds about right... The city would probably just load itself as you get closer to it.

Exactly.

OH YEAH!!! WHOOOO!!!!!

Erm, excuse me while I cry tears of joy...

Correct. Awesome huh? :celebration:

As far as I know, the two reasons levitation was removed were the closed cities, and the fact that speedtree looks horrible from above (and maybe balance?). Now that both of those are gone, levitation for all! Hopefully!

Bummer about interior cells though :confused:

» Fri May 13, 2011 12:38 pm

Correct. Awesome huh? :celebration:

Immersion FTW.

This could have implication for Dragon raids too. :celebration:

» Fri May 13, 2011 7:17 pm

So I can lure dragons into cities and have them take out all the townspeople?

» Fri May 13, 2011 10:22 pm

Unless, of course, cities are enCLOSED by gates, like in Oblivion. This is hardly confirmation of anything.

» Fri May 13, 2011 7:02 pm

I want to see an attacking dragon to enter an inn chasing you :tongue:

» Fri May 13, 2011 3:01 pm

Yeah, but that means they're that much closer to getting those open too in the future!

Also, quick question. Does this pretty much confirm no transparent windows?

What you said with your trollface avatar made me laugh very hard!

There may be walled cities, but there won't be any loading time in between them and the outside world. Unless you're calling Hines a filthy liar!
