» Fri Sep 23, 2011 4:57 am

Hi there,

I've been away for the weekend and I know there is suposed to be alot of stuff announced/demos/videos and stuff to come to light - one thing I want to know is have we learnt anything more about the races? I.e what abilities/stats/traits they might have?

Not yet. But they will probably be the same as in Oblivion.

Similar to oblivion. New traits are claw attack for Khajiit. Argonians regenerate health. Those are the only ones I can think of

Dunmer have some form of fire shield (I think...)as racial power

I know that Wood Elves still have the Beast Tongue ability, and that they are also 50% immune to disease and 50% immune to poison.

Bpoth argonians and woodelves are 50% resistant to poison and disease... argonians also regen health faster and have waterbreathing.

Altmer regen magicka faster

imperials can calm one apponent...

it was said that nords are 50% resiatnt tpo both frost and fire.

bretons are 50% resiatnt to magicka.. thats about all I know so far.

I've never seen this for Skyrim (I know they were in Oblivion and Morrowind).

I wouldn't be surprised if this wasn't the case. 50% magicka resistant is OP.

The "ancestor Guardian" power gives thema 'fire cloak' or somehting of the like, IIRC. Not sure its effects though.

Thats why I said "I Think"...Im not sure either, but thats my guess.

It would be, but magicka resistance doesn't count for elemental damage, which is what is usually the most damaging.

My B man, I was trying to support what you said, not refute it

Argonians Hist POWER, have to activate, restores health. It is not an auto regen, just to let you know.

Any orc power? I'd love a battle cry. "WAAAAAAAAAAGH" (Any 40k fans out there?)

Love 40K, but bought Dead Island instead if Space Marine for the RPG/open world take on zombies and LOVING IT, I think this can hold me out until SKYRIM and then Skyrim will hold me until Mass Effect 3. Then it's going to be both Skyrim and ME holding me out until Fallout 4 lol.

Berserk is good power, I think all races now have one or two active powers in addition to some passive stuff.
