Game informer November is up digitally.

Post » Wed Oct 12, 2011 4:58 pm

Just read my digital copy, an awesome read indeed.

One thing has me worried though. Towards the end of the article it mentions that the player approached Azura's shrine and was given a quest. I'm worried that the only daedric artifacts are limited to doing quests from shrines like in Oblivion. If this is the case I hope that I don't have to wait until level 20+ just to get the best version of an item due to level scaling.

Daedric artifacts do not change based on your level. They're one kind of quest reward that is always the same no matter when you get them.

I doubt that will happen and with it being Azura your probably going to get Azura's Star as a reward, at least I hope you get that item.

So when I get an artifact, do you think the stats for it will increase as my skill level increases?

Yeah, I hope so too. I was worried that the only daedric artifacts in the game are the few that you get from shrines. I want to be able to find well hidden artifacts while exploring.

Thats fine, I've already heard about
Spoiler
the orphanage where the guy kills the mean nanny and the kids cheer about it
I just want to read it in all its un-edited glory. So if someone can post that part, word for word under a spoiler tag, it would be awesome.

They wont effect the game for me either. I'll forget them by the time the game is available anyways. I've got a mind like a steel sieve.

On a side note, the pictures that were released on a site that shall not be named now that I can get a closer look at them and am spending more time on them I am getting even more impressed. Take the bound bow picture, my eye was initially drawn to the awesomeness of the bound bow, but even the robes the guy is wearing look awesome. I might actually like wearing robes if they look like that, not a bathrobe but like a robe bordering on a trench coat.

Gotta love this forum. Someone offers to post any information, they get a pack of yappy terriers at their heels. Read it in your own time , my good man, and thanks in advance if there is anything interesting. Thanks anyway, even if there isn't, for trying.
*laughs* Yep that's how game hype works.^_^

First line:

"Skyrim is the story of a mortal imbued with ancestral draconic powers used to fulfill a prophecy and oppose the dragon god Anduil [sic]."

The writing here really irks me, not to mention the factual inaccuracy (It's spelled "Alduin"). It's just an over-simplistic summary using convoluted, pretentious language.


Anduil is the Norse version of Alduin. Get your own facts straight.

Just finished reading it. Points we may or may not know yet.

-No fast travel locations are unlocked from the beginning.
-Water flows and carries bodies/objects.
-Wolves come in packs and flank to attack.
-A faction called the 'Battle-Born'
-Can claim allegiance to factions without joining them (can lie).
-Allegiance allows you to take items freely from that faction under a certain value.
-Simple errands and fetch quests show up as Miscellaneous tasks, not quests, organized separately. Some may become quests as you complete them.
-Difficulty ONLY modifies the challenge of combat, not loot or XP.

Most other stuff is spoiler-ridden, so I won't post it.

I think that was all known but I will add it to the OP just in case it was assumed but not known or something.

One of the new screenshots does show a bear that has a couple un-bearlike features, so, yea, let the speculation begin.
