It seems like Howard was trying to level up his dodge skill by only half answering questions.


:thumbsup: I'm with you on this one.

I think the most intresting aspect of this interview was to hear some of the thought process behind design decisions. Plus Howard is a cool guy to listen to. I just wish that those journalists were better prepared for the task at hand. Although Skyrim sounds like a great game and I'm actually feeling more positive now about the game, I admit that I was quite dissapointed to hear that benthesa would rather have many number followers than few great long time companions with memorable personalities and cool sidequests.

As for spears and werewolves. I understand their reasoning. Spellmaking is still something i'd love to see and I don't agree that it would make magic feel less magical. To me it works completly opposite. Its makes magic feel deeper and more complex than bunch of predetermined spells.

It is almost like there is 9 months until the game is launched.

Me I was happy with what I heard. Sure, I'd like spears, and I'd like a definite yes to spell making instead of a maybe.(though to me it seemed to trend to yes in how he said it) But still overall I liked what I heard and how it was presented.

Okay I have just finished the GI's Podcast. When I saw it was an hour long I went straight to this Forum expecting to see a bucket load of threads about the podcast. There wasn't. Now I understand why, there wasn't any really much substantial things to discuss. I blame the hosts. They seemed very uninterested with Todd, they asked to the most part useless questions. I think Todd would have had a lot more interesting stuff to say if they asked good questions. Seriously when I first read that question from the Fallout fan Warbuff I thought there is no way this will be asked (because I saw a lot of insightful and well thought out questions. I'm guessing they chose the questions on the spot because there didn't seem to be any real planning involved. I'm pleased that the GI hub thing is over now so we can get info straight from Betheda


Something tells me we might have multiple endings because otherwise Todd could have just said no without giving away the ending.

Saying that there aren't multiple endings seems to give away a pretty big aspect of the ending. I mean, can you imagine the sole ending being one where Dragonborn fails and the dragons roast Skyrim?

I can see a mod putting "red shirts" all of the "Cannon Fodder" companions for [censored] and giggles.

I guess that is true
