Other info from the french magazine

Post » Mon Feb 14, 2011 9:47 pm

Translation of some details from the french magasine. I speak french as a native language so I have no trouble translating it

"les dragons survolent les temples qui leur sont dédiés" ---> Dragons fly around temples dedicated to them (though they do other things too, but I didn't want to write the whole paragraph)

"les coups critiques se voient désormais affublés d'actions contextuelles. Planter sa hache dans le cou ou une dague en pleine poitrine vient parfois clore le combat" ---> critical hits now have different animations, and sometimes an axe in the throat or a dagger in the tummy will finish the fight

"Il y a par exemple, ce géant que nous avons croisé près de riverwood. Tant que vous ne l'attaquez pas, il continuera sa route" --> As an example, there's this giant we saw near riverwood. as long as you don't attack it, it'll keep minding its own business

"...qui se focalisent sur les 120 dongeons de Skyrim, TOUS DIFFéRENTS" ---> ...who focus on the 120 dungeons in Skyrim, ALL DIFFERENT

"...ou de lancer..." ---> Couldn't really CLEARLY make this out, and the actual sentence is LONG, but it seems like throwing weapons are back. Unless they consider bosw as throwing weapons, but I think they would have said it otherwise

That's pretty much all I could make out that I haven't heard about in the forums

So I assume these are the finishing moves we've been hearing so much about. Not bad. And thanks for the post.

I didn't want to get into telling the other things, as the rest is just what we've been told: they can attack cities, they can crash when they're wounded, all that old stuff

But the not-so-good thing is that I haven't read the whole article. there were a few pages missing in the scans I got. I know because some sentences aren't finished at all

and yeah, throwing weapons sounds awesome! I just hope we can throw axes, so I'll be a real viking!

So with the throwing weapons, I take it you are focusing on the word "lancer"? Can you say a bit more about how this word is commonly used in French, and why you think this isn't merely referring to bows (for instance, is there another word which is more commonly used for bows?)

One of the captions reads "Armor will be in two parts: the torso and legs, as in Morrowind".

Quite a contradictory statement don't you think? Too much misinformation. Where's the direct info?

basically, "lancer" means throw.
and in the context, in pretty much was "-one or two handed, bladed, blunt or even throwing- weapons"

But yeah, it could also have been the journalist simply meaning bows... I hope he's not

What do you mean captions? I didn't even need to translate anything, I read the pages directly. not all of them though, as I didn't have all the pages

Edit: sorry for double, I keep seing question after answering someone lol
