Skyrim Hands-On From TheSixthAxis

Nice little Radiant AI example
It’s the interaction above all that’s what makes Skyrim very special, and bearing in mind I only played forty minutes, what I saw was incredible. For example, there was a moment where after chasing an Elk into a village and setting it on fire with a spell, villagers rushed out to aid my character in defeating it, before one woman began to spread rumours that it “flew over the mountain” with other townspeople making various comments as I collected its hide and meat.

There was also another moment that I experienced which really showed off the game’s quality – after noticing a group under attack and aiding them, I spoke to one of them. He tells me I’ve to be on my way, but before I get a chance to he pulls out his axe, runs towards me and then kills a wolf that was about to sneak up on me. I’m aware he might have only been killing the wolf because it was there, but it truly did feel like he was returning a favour, due to the sheer immersion found in Skyrim.

Lol, the way the article reads, and I don't know if it was intentional or not, makes it sound like the woman is ranting about how the elk flew over the mountain (as opposed to a dragon, which is what she is probably really on about)!

I like the new interaction system they've made for Skyrim, makes the game feel more real and vibrant. In Oblivion ppl either attacked u for no reason or they'd leave you alone. It sounds like random NPCs will help u if they come across u on trouble and enemies might not be too hostile unless you get too close.

Wow, the level of intelligent AI in this game is insane. Seriously, this is going to change gaming forever.

Loving these snippets of information from the people lucky enough to have sampled the Skyrim experience (albeit for a very short time).

Yeah, can't really tell whether or not the writer is assuming the woman was talking about the elk or a dragon.

I remember way back in February or march, a journalist said that despite the graphics not being revolutionary, the Radiant AI and Radiant Story will be. It seems it is living up to that. Of course, WE have to see :D

I agree with Dragonbone but it's still funny to imagine.
