New Preview from "Wired"

Pete RT'd this link on Twitter, its (new) preview from "Wired".
Contains new information, not much that's particularly incredible though, but worth the read.

Hell they took away more then half of Todd's 999 god mode health from the demo, it certainly won't be an easy task for normal playing.

The dragon killed him 3 times! :rofl:

Perfect though! I sooooooooooo want to have to work for it and fight for my life when I take on a dragon! :drool:


Seriously, I want to be walking and then hear something, then be like "OH CRAP OH CRAP OH CRAP OH CRAP RUUUUUUUUUN!"

That'd be awesome..........

Good preview, nice to see they weren't bluffing when they said NPCs react to you dropping items... I wonder if a stealthy character could drop items to distract guards or something...

This preview is ancient! :whistling:

I really do like how this guy wrote up his 'journal' in the review though. Made it more interesting to read.

I loved his sense of humor, i thought it was great!

I was excited by a few new details, the cities must be found on foot before you can fast travel (Fallout style) and NPCs ask "Can i have this?" when you drop an item.

Also sounds like he's not really all that good at playing.

Wired is one of my favorite magazines. Still not sure why I buy physical copies when I can read it online....

Anyway, I liked the review. However like all limited time reviews, it is difficult at best to really review the game, just some features like combat. Quest progression, the most important part to me, is kind of lacking in these short term reviews. The reviewer at least went on a quest, even if it was just a go and fetch one.

At least there were no real spoilers in this one. I did enjoy the humor.
