That would be remarkable if true. Basically that means that a group of people from BGS have been working on it since Oblivion, up to the end of Fallout 3 and then the rest of the main team took over after Fallout 3 came out. I'm guessing during the 1st two years that was the brainstorming session.

Now I recognize him!

I preferred Stargate SG-1 more IMO.

Stargate SG-01 was awesome too.
I liked Stargate Atlantis a bit better though... but SG-01 wasn't far away. Both amazing TV-series. So sad that they ended

Mhm.

I'm wondering how different 2 different character's quests will be.
It makes me want to think that we won't be stuck with the same set quest(at least side quests). and have many things to do outside quests like finding an enemy or another that wasn't there before in a past run-through.

Replayability?

They had to develop the new engine. My guess is that was their primary focus during that time (in addition to brainstorming and storyboarding). Fallout 3 didn't use a new engine so a lot of the people who work on that stuff would otherwise have been idle.

Replayability... definitely.
As the writer said. It could be a never-ending adventure I think.
Skyrim will keep us happy for a long long long time
And that's without mods.

Radiant Story COULD be pretty groundbreaking (if implemented well, but we should still not overhype... just for safe) for games. Most games are so linear and once you've played it, you've basically played it. I think Bethesda should take this replayability thing in mind and take advantage of it. It could benefit them for more DLC / expansions, since the replayability factor should mean that more people will play Skyrim for a longer time.

Skyrim rules! Just think...there are some people who are casual gamers who have not heard about it yet. If they do eventually buy it...they are going to be BLOWN OUT OF THEIR MINDS!

Sounds good, thanks.

There are no pre-determined meetings with dragons

Not buying this though.

Also, rather sceptical about all items showing on the character

This sounds tremendous.

Replayability all right...

I just hope it is random caves...not the same one every time.

It should be. It said in the cover story that dragons can appear practically at any time and anywhere.

All this info needs to be put into that one thread somebody was running....about everything known about the game thus far.

I have a scan of that pic, but naturally I can't post it here.

Looks pretty good.

i think it meant equipped equipment

Regarding number 16, that is what I would love to see...a serious NEVER-ENDING adventure.

Well, that would be awesome.

I'm glad Skyrim is going to be more dynamic visual than Oblivion (not mention Morrowind who was too static). I wonder if these finishing moves are in real time or slowed like in Fo3 critical like a "slow motion" mode. I hope it's in real time I don't like the bullet time effect.

Yup, I hope that too about the finishing moves. Real-time and that doesn't "force" you into a cinematic camera view. If not, the finishing moves would pretty much kill the combat experience for me :confused:

Thank you, thank you.

Well there won't be any game that is "SUPER OMG AMAZING" impressive like Oblivion from Morrowind this generation from any developer because there was no game that was "SUPER OMG AMAZING" impressive after Oblivion came out on the console. The console has limitations and the screens from the 360 is equivalent to the best looking console games, so that bodes well for the PC especially when Todd already announced that they will be working on the PC version separately to add in PC only features. People expect the graphics in Skyrim to be as huge of a jump as Morrowind to Oblivion but people don't realize that jump was from Xbox to xbox 360, it was a jump into another generation. I expect the PC version to look SUPER OMG AMAZING impressive over Oblivion PC though. The console version of Skyrim definitely looks worlds better than Oblivion though, people just don't remember how the console version looks into relation to each other, they are used to screens of Oblivion on the PC with highest graphics settings and some even only remember Oblivion with graphical mods.

I agree on the cinematic camera, it was really annoying in Fallout: New Vegas.
I wouldn't mind very short and slight slow motion moments like in Dark Messiah though.

Thats a great screenshot.

If slow motion moments are tied to finishers at all I really hope I can turn it off. I'm just not a fan of that kind of thing :shrug:
By the way you can turn it off in New Vegas. Alongside turning on Iron Sights that was the first thing I did in the game.

Wait, what?

This is news to me.

I knew that.
