Nice little refresh of console vs PC vs demo
Although Skyrim doesn’t look as spiffy on the Xbox 360 as it does on PC, the fact that Bethesda have squeezed everything onto one disc is impressive in and of itself. Still, this is not really a problem, as I was assured by a rep that this is nowhere near the quality of the finished build still being worked on.
I knew it was confirmed to be automatic, but random?
randomised slow motion killing moves help a hard fought victory feel all the more sweeter.
Water is VERY physically realistic now!
No sooner had I put my Imperial's foot into the water was I swept off the precipice and, demonstrating the game's impressive ragdoll physics, I was thrown down the rapids like a jumper in a washing machine.
Taste of reputation
Now more confident, I made my way up and down a small mountain to the outskirts of Riverwood, where I walked into the middle of a battle between a giant and some human hunters. Relishing the opportunity for combat, I waded in bravado first, before realising I was the worse off in this David vs. Goliath contest and ran headlong into the woods again as the giant made me its prime target. Just as it reached me, it died, apparently due to the hundreds of arrows in its back. Kindly giving myself the credit for killing the beast, the leader of the humans invited me into their guild sect as a protector, to which I of course accepted.
Faction names, and a duel *Its time to du, du du, dudududu duel!*
Soon into my short stay I was challenged by a hairy man who asked if I was a Battle-Born or a Graymane (an apparent source of racial tension). Not knowing the answer, I hit him in the face with my sword and ran away. In no time at all guards and villagers alike were swarming after me. I bravely continued to run out of the settlement and found the stables, from which I stole a beautiful black horse and galloped off it into the woods.
Lolwut?
Now, I would have gone further into the woods and continued in my journey had my horse not become attached to a tree, hanging there like an equestrian leaf. Unable to move, or do anything apart from furiously take out my inaction on the horses head, I was ushered away from the controller by a kindly rep, who assured me that my time was nearly up anyway.
