Something regarding the demo character

Post » Sat Jun 11, 2011 4:11 am

Didn't Todd Howard or someone say the character he was using for all the demos shown was hacked for those demos? I remember someone saying that and would imagine that holds true for just about every character shown at a big conference. It would be very embarrassing to die and reload on TV in front of spectators, especially when it's your game you're playing.

But I don't remember right off where I heard that little piece of info, it could have even been in a magazine.

He didn't want to look like a [censored], so he beefed Mr. Prisoner (dude in background) up. This was stated multiple times when magazines were previewing the very same demo.

I think it was for demo purposes so that the maker over the video does not stuff up.

So when they show the interface, the demo character has 999 health and 500 magic. When he gets hit by the giant, a chunk of his health is drained, same with battling the dragon.

Does this mean that it would be possible to die in one hit by Giants and Dragons? Considering those hits must have done at least 200 damage to take such big chunks of health away.


I agree with what your saying. Yes it probobly does mean that.

Hopefully


I agree with you because it would make sence only a deadly warrior or a highly skilled mage or a stealthy poison using arrow shooting weapon slining assassin could take a dragon or a giant down. Besides it adds to realism and imersion as a farmer fresh outa jail being tought my Esbern I do not expect to take down one of theese for atleast a few years of my life. (in game realism you know what I mean)
They are giants and dragons. Giants aren't things you'd want to provoke on a whim and I'm pretty sure dragons don't show up for a little while anyway.



They are there through the entire game dude. Dont you listen to the interveiws or read the articals? Todd Howard has said (not an exact quote ""No the dragons are not somthing you will see the last 10% of the game. They are dynamic and un scripted and show up anywhere any time and your in for the fight of your life. You basicly have a moment of indicision where you want to run away."""

:facepalm:

They are giants and dragons, ya' know. Not things you want to provoke early on, and they should still pose a challenge in the later game.
