Hey GiantMudcrab, did you try sneaking? If you did, how was it? Also, did you commit any crimes?

The demo started in the same place as the Todd Howard demo at E3

Also, @Dragonborn1 Sneaking felt the same, but maybe harder to remain unnoticed? I was in the open when i did it, also I killed some villagers and racked up a good bounty. *NOTE* also, when you commit a crime now it shows you how much that crime added to your bounty if at all in the form of a message in the corner that says something like "Your bounty in this place has gone up by 1000" or something like that.

Nice, thanks! How did people and guards react to you? Dud they run away? Try to fight? In Oblivion, the animations are stiff when you attack someone. The way they run away. How does it look now?

The villager I attacked and the 2 next to her attacked me. I was far enough away from other villagers to attract attention though so no guards were alerted.

Were the animations more fluid for the NPC's attacking? Did it look natural when they came after you? Also, did you talk to any NPC's?

Guess after 200 years guards lost there Telekinetic powers of knowing when something is wrong with the law :evil:

How was the default running speed compared to the default in Oblivion? Did you feel it was too fast, or just right?

Am I the only one finding it normal that dual-wielding shouldn't be that effective at all?

no there has not ever been a game I have played where dual wielding felt over powered, under powered or just plain clumsy and annoying. I will still try it thought because like my last cat I suffer frond a fatal case of curiosity.

Felt good! You can tell they put thought into how the game felt

Sorry if this has already been asked, but did you notice what the interior map looks like?
I have no idea if they mentioned anything like this since i haven't been visiting forums that much lately, just wondering if you noticed it at pax.

I wasn't at PAX, but the loading screens are very slick down. Black background with 3D objects we can rotate.

Thanks for posting!!....great info! :icecream:

I can't say for sure about how long they are because the game is still in development, but they were fine in the demo. Also I'm sure there will be an install feature on console to minimize load times.

A good read and some cool new info :thumbsup:

How are Argonians?
Did you notice any different animations?
Did you swim?
- How do they swim?
- Do they utilize their tails?
What did their tails look like?
- Could you change them in character creation?
What were some notable features you noticed in the character creation?
Did you see their feet?
- How did they look?

Really glad to see bows are getting to be more fun and satisfying. I was a marksman in Oblivion and it was annoying to shoot someone 50 times. Thanks for the info!

did it seem your stats were boosted? I sure hope so because destroying everything quickly is what we've heard from everyone. If they were not boosted, did you notice if it felt like they were going for high damage, short battles as opposed to drawn out ones.

Why is this even a concern? In Morrowind at level 1, every baddy around Seyda Neen died with like 3 hits from your major weapon.

Did you notice any players cook/craft/enchant? Was there animations for this?

» Thu Sep 01, 2011 12:07 am

How many underwater locations did you see?

Guys, I've said everything I know in the comments already. If theres any questions that aren't already answered than I don't know the answer...

And @dragonborn1... I was in a small river...
