I considered myself an expert on windmills...I will retreat to my corner in shame now.

Good eye!

I've never seen a windmill in my life so I guess I took for granted that they need something to make them rotate. I always assumed it was ~*~magic~*~

The Mistake:It's an easy fix, and it should be mentioned to Bethesda. And you, the one who got wound up over people mentioning a simple error ... when someone makes a terrible error on their business card, you definitely want to tell them ... or else who would hire them, seeing that error? You're their friend, making them look better to a professional world.... so don't get so bent out of shape for people clarifying errors.

Well to be fair, messing up an animation like this is like missing a period on a resume. While it probably won't cost you the job you are applying for, its good to know about the error.

The only time I can see something like this being a real business card error is if Bethesda started providing out-sourced animation work, in which quality and accuracy are more important on the individual level. But since they aren't doing that, we can just call this a simple mistake.

On another related note, how many of you are going to actually hunt down that windmill and see if it gets fixed when the game comes out? I sure as hell am! XD

This isn't real life. Besides, I still don't think anything is wrong with it. It looks great.

No its not the direction the blades face that matters its if they angle OUT or in You could have blades on both sides of the thing it wouldnt matter as long as both are angled right.

In many ways this is like a door made backwards.. It will drive people hokerrs because they feel its wrong to hang the door the other way.

That's what I meant, sorry.

Yeah, once you throw physics out the window, everything is fine and dandy! :celebration:
