Posting this geographical information yet again. Eastmarch is described as "volcanic tundra." The southeastern region around Riften is called Rift and is described as "Fall Forest."

The HUD is one thing no one has gone into depth about that actually concerns me a bit. No HUD in 1st person seems like it should be an option. Having to switch to third person just to see my health would be horrid. Unless Skyrim is being made to be played more in third-person, which would be horrible, since I always play TES games in 1st and I think that it makes it much more immersive.

After you enter an enclosed area, all enemies will be set to your level there for the rest of the game. You cant keep coming back to the same ruin to get better stuff as you level (especially since enemies usually don't respawn).


I would like to know how u know this ? what because fallout 3 had it soo u think skyrim will have it to? I would hope they have respawns in enclosed area's maybe not fast respawn rate's but still atleast have respawns for replay and roll-play value.

All items have the same set stats, and all non-human enemies have the same HP and stats across all levels. Quest rewards are always the same. This makes it so it better than Oblivion's Level-scaling. NPCs are scaled in their equipment.

Random spawns out in the world are scaled (stronger enemies appear at higher levels), but weak enemies aren't written out of the system, just become less common. Unlike Oblivion where imps and boars become impossible to find at higher levels, A single spawn at lower levels can have enemies spawning in pairs at higher levels.

Stronger enemies exist in the world at the start of the game. You're usually given enough warning if you don't want to fight anything too strong. The fallout system was created from Oblivion's but Fallout was a testing ground for tweaking level-scaling from too easy from almost no level-scaling (Morrowind) to too much level-scaling (Oblivion).

Feel free to post any other information you deem important that you found in the video so that we can compile it here. Thank you in advance.

I believe when Todd walked by the Level Designers' cubicles in the video posted today, he mentioned they are designing levels using what he called a "Creation Kit"

Concept art shows flaming arrows for bows. You may want to add that as a high possibility.

On Falkreath Hold: "Hold" is apparently a Nordic term for an administrative subdivision, like a province or county. Winterhold is both a hold and a city. Eastmarch is also a hold. So is Rift, presumably. Falkreath Hold is presumably the hold surrounding the city (or possibly town) of Falkreath. This would also explain why its label is so far from the large settlement in that corner of the map (that is, the town/city of Falkreath)

I find the map fascinating, knowing about the events preceding the "Infernal City", but since that is still set 160 before Skyrim who knows what has happened with the borders of the Provinces

Can someone with the magazine fill in these blanks in the "Inside the Interface" here?:

"Every item in the inventory has a detailed, zoomable, [unreadable] ...image to examine, which pops up as [unreadable] ...you select the item, giving a tactile quality [to the?] objects you carry with you"

I really think that Bethesda should make the "Creation Kit" for console users also...it seems they could do that...with a second disc...let's just hope so then I wouldn't have to buy a computer version as well...I have a strong speculation for this...

The run down is when you open your inventory you can see the item like you would in Oblivion or Morrowind (item icon) except you see it as you would in the game. They also show this in the Behind-the-scenes video where they have drawings of the different types of meat. Basically you get to see your items in great detail in the inventory. That also reminds me to add that to the information. Thanks Mr. Tissue Box.

Do we know if the detailed image of the object is a 3D render or just a 3D-looking illustration?

Rendered. If you have ever played SWG, it's like their inventory.

SWG?
