Did anyone die during the 60 minutes play-session? : V - Skyrim

They did mention that they've gotten close to death.

Wouldn't be surprised that they would've died some times but quickly reloaded, they just didn't mentioned them...

Beth disabled Dragons for the hour of gaming in the Skyrim Demo. All it happened to be was an introduction to the game, nothing more. Nobody died because they only got through a third of the main quest!

What do you mean by "Got through a third of the main quest!"........?

I've never played a Bethesda game where hard mode was even playable, let alone easy. Do not fret.

FALLOUT 3, its hard till you hit level 7-10 and then the extra enemy health just becomes annoying,

They played 60 minutes of Skyrim. The DEMO.

The main quest in Skyrim will take atleast 20-30 hours to complete as IGN + Todd both said.

Every 30 seconds in Skyrim is a minute in real world-time.

Gamesyp guy died

But it was a fall of the clef

I'm certain they made things easier for the demo.

Hopefully the actual game will be closer to Daggerfall than Oblivion or Morrowind in terms of difficulty... where you can die numerous times in the tutorial dungeon if you don't know what you're doing.

I want the game to be brutal starting out. That adds so much satisfaction to the game when you actually progress and become powerful.

This isnt for everyone, but hopefully this is close to the Highest difficulty mode. Just hope the Difficulty slider isnt screwed up like oblivions. Easiest to Hardest was a freaking 36x difference.

The MQ was disabled for the demo, and it will take 20-30 hours to complete in real time. Also, one minute in Skyrim is 2 real world seconds, if the timescale remains unchanged.

Check your math again.

Check your math again.

Yeah... sorry, I'm distracted...

Nonetheless, is it confirmed?

I don't know what version of Oblivion you were playing that it was possible to so much as exit the tutorial, let alone take on one enemy for five hours without unlimited potions of healing.

And what makes you think he couldn't have been talking about an enemy in the tutorial?

No, I'm just assuming that they won't change it.
