I use it in Oblivion with DR6, I think they could do it!

personally i thought we already knew about horses. I mean they were in OB why would they take them out?

Because horses will be hard to handle in Skyrim with all the rugged landscapes.

13 different types of ore, that's actually more interesting than it sounds.

I can only think of Glass, Ebony, Silver, Adamantium and Iron. Add in Gold if you're considering materials not particularly suitable for weapon/armor smithing. Though I suppose Gold Armor-Weapons could take better enchantments, at a cost of, obviously physical performance? So maybe this is hinting at a lot of weapon/armor variety. Especially considering "Ore" doesn't even account for the leather armors and such.

Hoping 3 factions "Confirmed" doesn't mean only 3 factions. Hoping for an Imperialist/Nationalist faction(s) that conflict with one another still.

Ahem...

YEAH..! WOOHOO!

My apologies.

Always expected Skyrim to be amazing, but it's a definite Best Game Ever? contender now.

there's 9 seperate bounties in each hold.

I think it's more likely that it is 9 bounties, one for each hold, rather than 9 in each hold.

you forgot that the Dark brotherhood is confirmed as well :spotted owl:
i just wanted to see the owl....

using torches as a weapon is awesome and the dragon shout is incredible

If I can't figure it out myself in the Creation Kit, I'll be eagerly awaiting a mod to make horses essential so I can ride again.

I never play evil so the regional bounties don't matter to me.

:tes:

i hope horses can be used for more things that just being slow, weak, 2-hit-lasting enemy magnets like they were in oblivion
id really like to see them be faster than player unlike the obliv horses
maybe some sort of attacking abilities while youre mounted too

If horses are in then i definitely hope you can see your body in first person...its one thing being a floating head with arms...but looking down and seeing your empty saddle was seriously unsettling... :facepalm:

Awesome about horses...hope they animate like Red Deads.

Torches were Oblivion so whats the big deal? Better lighting this time I guess?

The torches are a weapon, as in it takes a hand slot and you can beat someone with added fire damage.

All of that's sounds amazing but a source link would be nice.

You're not allowed to post transcripts, links, or scans of magazines. He said it was in Playstation Magazine, that's all he can do.

If horses are mountable, there better be mounted combat or it might be my first big disappointment. It frustrated me when i couldn't hurt anyone on horseback.

Nicely said, and what better weapon than a spear.

Riding horses is painful in the long-run. Nowadays I prefer sprinting, jogging, running and wandering. I am not gonna ride horses anyway, just brings back painful memories. But nice that they brought it back, for the sake of immersion .

» Wed May 18, 2011 11:07 pm

huzzah! now all that needs to be confirmed is the ability to attack on horseback

Its finally been confirmed in the PSM, horses are indeed mountable.

Beth is shooting for the hard M, I see.

No more physic guards, there's 9 seperate bounties in each hold.

This is good. I'm also hoping for guards forgetting bounties over extended periods of time.

3 factions confirmed; College of Whispers (Mages guild) Thieves Guild, and the Companions (Fighters guild).

Does this mean that the majority of fighter's guild quests will be escort missions? :/

» Thu May 19, 2011 9:02 am

if horses are in i really hope that you can use spels while riding them because that was one reason i never rode them i just walked to the towns and got my alteration and conjuration up while walking. also the environment is awesome and i am big on alchemy so i need to pick up ingredients

LOL :rofl:

» Wed May 18, 2011 7:55 pm

the Fighter's guild is called "The Companions"?

wtf?

» Thu May 19, 2011 3:22 am

Very happy with all this new information. Hip hip hooray!

» Thu May 19, 2011 5:35 am

HALLELUJAH!!! (god I cant spell right now but I dont care)

I love horses, probably the biggest thing I missed in Shivering Isles and Fallout 3. It gives you some sense of security when roaming through dangerous countryside.

» Thu May 19, 2011 10:22 am

Lightning storm dragon shout? Lol will there even be an incentive to learn magic? I really can't wait to see the thieves guild. I hope the stuff we steal will be more valuable, and won't need a fence for it to be sold. Lastly 9 separate bounties for each place? Hell... Yes.

» Thu May 19, 2011 12:32 am

if its true, then all I have o say is. nooooooooo

I didny want ridable horses, I prefer to go on foot.

Agreed.
