Only one thing? I'm starting to wonder if Bethesda aren't making this game specifically based on my preferences. It's really very considerate of them. :thumbsup:

Animations. I play in 3rd person. They look great.

Yes they are! I'm most looking forward to just exploring a whole new world. I think Skyrim will be majestic and the world will be stunning.

No matter What Skyrim will be better than most RPGs in recent time.

I'm positively looking forward to Skyrim so much and the advances I can see in the Skyrim trailer are tantalizing. It's going to be great. I'm trying to play Morrowind to learn more lore but it seems so primitive that it's hard to stick to it. So I started a new Oblivion and it's so much more fun.

positive.. got to think.... oh ya...

SKYRIM IS COMING OUT!!!!! haha. I can't wait to get it. I am so stoked that I am only buying this game on the day it actually comes out, I will be pretty busy with it for sure!

Despite the cries of dragons as cliches, I think very few other video games (if any at all) have given justice and attention in detail in fully realizing them out as much as Skyrim is giving them.

I hate to pick just one, but I could go with this. I agree I can't recall off hand a game that did dragons really well. If Skyrim makes them half as awesome as the trailer makes it look, we might finally have a winner. :celebration:

cripes where do i start

lets see there are assasinations the dwemer stuff is back the graphics look incredible (that trailer was from an xbox so pc users can exect some far better graphics) you can set traps with magic via setting runes on the ground the magic system all together seems vastly improved weapons get finishers and over all the setting is more serious also finnaly get to test myself against an elder scrolls dragon (should be interesting) npcs seem like theyr gonna be more alive then ever before and for now thats it

also i applaud you creating such a positive thread
this forum needs more of em :thumbsup: . not just baww that water looks bad because its moving so fast its white :cry:

(Ahh, good night's sleep.)

I did say, choose one thing, then again you are the first one to applaud me, so I'll let it pass.

Good stuff from all of you.

To the one playing 3rd view: (I don't know how to quote two times on the iPhone and you can't search the thread when you quote someone)
3rd person camera could be a great way to fight this time

Skyrim will be the greatest RPG of all time. You all know this to be true.

» Fri Apr 22, 2011 5:08 am

well..............its not Call of Duty.

» Fri Apr 22, 2011 12:22 am

The best thing I have seen is the landscape. It looks like an actually place. Magic and mythical creatures aside i really could see this place being a real world location.

well... skyrim has an amazing set, looks like the dwelmer ruins are BACK, and i love them, i don't know why, i never really played attention to them until knowing they would be redone for skyrim, that just gave me hope for better dungeons, since there is MUCH more then loot covering them, im even trying to do an mod remaking dwelmer ruins for oblivion, not taking them from morrowind and adding in oblivion, no, remaking all of it, with better models, and some models and textures used in oblivions dlc, the orrery...

I too am glad to see the return of the Dwemer. I also look forward to seeing the architectural differences between Morrowind and Skyrim, as the Dwemer seem to have integrated a lot of stonework this time around. I think the Orrery in Oblivion was also a nice direction, but sadly it was a very small example.

My personal joy is mainly the animations, like the OP said. I'm a big fan of getting to watch what I do and what others do. I tend to play in first person for the immersion, but for some epic battles I may just switch to third person to watch myself inflict carnage. I've never been able to do that in Morrowind and Oblivion because the animations were so jerky and didn't work well. You swing a sword, you seem to miss a little but still land a blow because of basic attack range, and the opponent does not recoil. The footstep animations were skippy if you tend to dodge around a lot like I do to avoid being hit. One feature I really like when it comes to animations is when they work together. That is, when you animate, and someone else reacts to it by animating along with you. You stab someone in the heart, they react as if stabbed through the heart. You hug someone, they hug back. Too many games simply have one-sided animations where one character animates and another character animates, but they don't make contact. Oblivion did this, and Morrowind really had no animations aside from attack and move. Havok Behavior seems like very capable technology, so I'm looking forward to its implementation.

The only game I'm looking forward too more is Duke Nukem Forever, but that is only because its taken them over a decade.

» Fri Apr 22, 2011 6:52 am

Hair style's that don't look fake and....FACIAL HAIR. Nothing say's Nord like a beard. I'm talking actual beard or stubble. If it looks half like the Video showed i'll be happy. Skyrim will be my most anticipated game of the year for sure it just looks good.

We will have horned helmets. As you can tell I like horned helmets. :drag:

» Fri Apr 22, 2011 6:06 am

There is just so much it can't fit into one posts :thumbsup:

But here are some, very briefly:

-Better spell usage and control.

-Better level system.

-Unique Dungeons

-SKYRIM!

-Combat has been made more immersive.

-Enchanting is back

-Smithing, possibly new gear for ourselvesf(?)

I don't think I can pick just one...

...but if I HAVE to, it would have to be the new quest system.

You don't have to. You can post more than once.

I wanted to prevent a list of list's

Played it. Not the whole thing, but enough of it to get an overall feel of what it's like. It was alright, but there is still a small amount of work that needs to be done to make it perfect. Most notably, aiming was difficult. Sensitivity needs to be turned down.

Are you a beta tester or something?

No, they just had it at PAX East which I was at recently. Got to sit at it for about a half hour and essentially play through some of the parts they've been showing off at events for a while, like the football stadium boss battle thing with rockets, and another place in the desert where you get to drive around, kill some aliens, shoot down a ship, and ride a minecart roller coaster thing. It looks pretty shiny, and I'm looking forward to getting it.

But that's beside the point. Skyrim is awesome. Potentially better. Hopefully better.

It's amazing Penny-Arcade started as an online comic and look at them now.

The strip they made about Oblivion was, well, look it up.
Hope Skyrim will do better.
