why would he give a [censored] what kind of legs they have, or how long their faces are? i mean seriously.


Umm cause he's trying to create an informative article to preview skyrim & if he did any research at all on knowing what the fans want to learn, he'd know that what argonians look like is at the top of the list for a lot of people.

Well now, let's just get cranky >.>

I was just pointing out the irony of how everyone is desperate to see an Argonian and now this dude has but gave us no description.

The Destructoid preview says it's a late alpha build. Pretty late to not be in beta yet.

Yes he did. He said she was sixy and big-boned. Does this mean we have confirmation of scaly badonkadonk? Who knows.

I read a lot about Skyrim and its features, but I hadn't seen this individual article, so thank you very much for the link. : )

Why would he know what state of the development the game is in? It's the same as "oh, this game has some bugs in it, so it must be alpha." A press member wouldn't know anything about game development.

It concerns me very much as well.

@Luke Unless he asked, or Beth told them what build they were playing. I'm sure they were told.

Pretty cool things I noticed:

1. Mining requires a pickaxe.
2. Can request bards to play songs in taverns.
3. Alchemy combinations can fail (meaning you can't immediately tell if something will work, or there is a chance of failure).

And most importantly to me:
4. "Take for example the black door adorned with a skull I found near a frigid pond in a rocky recess. When I approached the subdued soundtrack of a tranquil forest was joined by a faint, menacing drum beat. The door spoke to me in an otherworldly whisper while shimmering faintly, and asked if I knew the music of life. I ran through the conversation tree to exhaust all options, answering drums, screaming, some kind of choir. The door promptly declared me to be unworthy and refused to open. I don't know what the correct course of action was, but knowing that oddities like this exist in Skyrim is just as exciting as the knowledge that I'll eventually be able to fight dragons."

From the GI interview; "This game looks very far along in development, and has the current level of polish is a great sign that this game will be ready to go on November 11."

Hope that eases your concerns slighty.

Game goes to press a month before release? So they've got a little over 2 months of development time left.

Hrm, If the beta build appears in the next few weeks I'd imagine we're still on track for 11.11.11.

However I know absolutely nothing about game development - just trying to be logical.

So QuakeCon is happening on 5 August... in Australia thats today... Im not sure if there is a time difference and today is tomorrow or tomorrow is today over there....

Anyway, I just hope for this:

1. Fans will pay attention to the use the controller in respect to charging and casting spells - how does it work so far?

2. Fans will pay attention to what Argonian and Khajit leg structure looks like.

3. Fans will advise on what the other skill areas are for the Thief Archetype.

4. Fans will advise on any noticeable difference in facial structure on the playable races.

5. Fans will confirm is gold in an inventory item that is droppable or is a status number like in Oblivion.

6. Fans will provide us answers that dont leave out even the most minute detail.

7. Fans will tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help them Todd.
