Umm... you got all that from a picture of a constellation? When exactly did Todd Howard say they were each perks? Looking at the stars in the constellations I can see how your theory makes sense, but as of yet I have seen nothing indicating this.

Does anyone else think that it was Mark von Sydow in the trailer now?

If this is NOT a joke, then its possible that the game takes place in cyrodiil (maybe northern cyrodiil) and Skyrim. I honestly am confused by this myself, even though I heard many say its a joke.

It's a joke, please. The game takes place in Skyrim...

[Josh Lozier]

Mournhold and Solstheim were both still in Morrowind...

Technically Solstheim isn't owned by any province. It's kinda like it's own sovereign area.

Anyone got any idea what woodcutting might be usefull for? The wood you cut must have some sort of use.. building ur own house would be cool.

it "wood" be cool to cut down trees to make house like a log cabin in the snow or a tower in the mountains

Mournhold and Solstheim were both still in Morrowind...

Actually I believe that Solstheim is an island on the edge of skyrim, and if I remember my lore right, it has been contested for by morrowind and skyrim over and over and is firmly in the hands of skyrim now, and when we played bloodmoon I dont think morrowind was in charge of it then.

Hey guys, I can't seem to make out the caption on the "Inside The Interface" page next to the Giant, what does it say ?

I'd like to know as well.

Found it.

looks like the perks are anologous to talent trees like in World of Warcraft (for example). i don't think they're be quite like fallout's perks. look at the screenshot displaying the skills and constellations, each star of which (according to Todd Howard) represents a perk

- each skill has a perk tree associated with it.
look at the screenshot - skills are at the bottom, and destruction is highlighted. above this skill list are stars. there are bright 'baseline' stars, above which are lines connected to other stars. the centre constellation has bright white lines, and behind it is a symbol of hand representing fire - this must be the constellation representing destruction.

- the perk tree has multiple paths, indicating specialization is possible within each skill.
eg conjuration has four lines from the bright baseline star. eg there may be an armor summoning path, an undead path, a daedra path, etc.

- perks requiring multiple skills are possible.
the magic skills in the screenshot are not alphabetical - presumably so displaying perks requiring previously-earned perks from multiple skills is less cluttered. such perks were in fallout, of course

Well, that fits in nicely in my http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1156643-skillsperksattributes-theory/ :biggrin: Hopefully the real deal will be much closer to it than I initially hoped.

When you installed the expansion packs.

We were never meant to believe that Vvardenfell comprised the entirety of Morrowind.

To my knowledge wood is used to make fire, but I could be wrong.

Woodcutting, mining, don't you people realize? Skyrim's the next Minecraft!! :celebrate:

Friggin' sweet!!


I've been on and off these forums suggesting ideas for TES 5 for years and minecrafting has been something i have repeatedly suggested.
I'm also excited about Dual wielding, body customisation(*cough*big briasts*cough* just kidding I'm usually a dude when I play tes games anyway), sprinting, and equiping two spells to one hand sounds interesting as well.

You hit it right on the head there. Looking at the pictures now I can definitely see that, and it was what I was expecting anyways.

In essence, every skill has a deep talent tree system. From counting, it seems like each skill has some 3 perks deep (discounting the first, base perk), and also 4 perks wide (also discounting the base perk), for 12 perks. Add the base perk and that's 13 perks per tree. 13*18 is 234 perks, not including perks that are general or require multiple skills.

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS JUST DEDUCTION, THERE IS NO PROOF THAT MY MATH IS CORRECT EXCEPT A SINGLE SCREENSHOT THAT SEEMS TO FOLLOW MY OBSERVATIONS

[Veronica Flores]

So does this mean I can have my real briast size in the game for my female character?:)

To my knowledge wood is used to make fire, but I could be wrong.

Fletching arrows, bowmaking are my first guesses.

a little question to those who have the actual magazine: the screenshot on the double-page with combat/leveling, where one guy slays another and he's about to fall to the ground: what does the text in the little box say? cant read it on the scan

I dont remember the exact quote, but it tell us we can choose from 10 races, customize body and face. Yes, body customization!!

alright thanks alot. nothing i didnt knew already, but had to find out :thumbsup:

[Russell Davies]

Just wish we heard something about being a werewolf or vampire. The fact that you can duel wield weapons/spells is pretty sweet

[Jimmie Allen]

I dont remember the exact quote, but it tell us we can choose from 10 races, customize body and face. Yes, body customization!!

So that's where it confirms the 10 races? Just want to be 100% sure.

Can someone quote that little bit in the box?

Yes, why? Of course there would be 10 races like every TES game...
