Didnt they announce it December?

And @ everyone else in the thread... me too..... I think

mostly the cryo

I recently reinstalled Oblivion and Morrowind and downloaded both Arena and Daggerfall from Bethesda so that should keep me going strong until Skyrim

Don't complain... before Bethesda started announcing their game a year ahead of time, I remember there was a tendency to announce games years and years before they came. Look at Rage coming from ID software / Bethesda a few months before Skyrim. I has been around for quite a long time. Yes ID is one of the companies announcing projects years ahead of they completion and they dont seem to ready to change their ways... A few years ago you had to wait for years to see your cherished game come out... I think the developers went a little too far with this.. look at Duke Nukem Forever.... I've noticed things have gotten better in the past few years.

alredy 1,000,000 post abut:''I hate Sykrm because it comes so late!!!''

I've never understood how people are even able to "have nothing to do" before a game is released. I mean, what would you do if they never announced it at all?

That said, I can understand it to some extent because that is what hype does to people. It changes their focus. It's like a striptease - look but don't touch

They dident announce it for 5 Years, so i had other things to do with my life, i never even thought that there would be an Elderscrolls 5

id say there is probably someone writing scripts for elder scrolls 6 right now.

Sometimes the hype is better than playing the game. It seems to me that once I actually get a game in my hands, some of the excitement dies away because it is now guaranteed that I will be playing it.

Hyping the game is half the fun! :celebrate:

Early? They didn't announce it early in the year, they announced it late in the year. Last year.

May i be bold and refresh you:

- Generic missions picked by your 2 higher skills. It means your character will basicaly walk a corridor in skill reward, harder to be an hybrid "class" not because its more rewarding or you wish, but because you end up shackled by the system.

- Everytime a generic mission is given the AI will look at where you ve been and sent you somewhere you havent been a clear time sinking and a bit killer of suspension of disbelief and a clear pain in the ass in long term. I hope this only has a % of kicking in.

- The above allied to frozen bracked LVL if places, the game froze a bracket of lvl arounf the lvl you are the first time you get in.
This allied with a randoneer system, sendig you to everywhere can be a limiting factor in how much the game is rewarding for middle to high level PC.
There s also a paradox, it send you to wander around, while at the same time it punishes you if you wander too much because the game will freeze in low lvl. And it looks a lot like the scaling lvl we seens and hated so much in OB, it seems they couldn t let loose the failed system and had to imput it in some way.
All these damage is otencial only and based on information we ve oficially got. I hope bethesda is smarter than that, but past has shown bethesda can be very smart and very dumb.
if this sadly come true it also shows they have a problem at looking at the game system in a integrated way, which can cause potential problem with gameplay.

- Generic system blending weaponry and armor use to a non important factor in the game.

- Jerkish Diablo skilltree like system instead of a natural flowing reward system. It will certainly generate a killing in the imersion.

- Lesser skill revolving basicly in the unwill to implement situation of skill use in the game. A clear tendency to remove instead of fixing.

And some more not so relevant.

Finding the holes, weakness and failures and warning the company before launch and watching them flounder or scurry around is the other half of the fun.

I am playing DA 2 right now,so its ok for now.

This is the latest an elder scrolls game has been announced in development. In fact, Todd Howard and Pete Hines have talked about waiting longer to discuss the announcement stuff to build more excitement. Anyway, I for one am glad they announced when the did, and Bethesda is far better than Blizzard or Valve, I mean, this game has a date that will be here faster than you realize I'm sure.

Be happy that we don't have to wait 13 years for Skyrim

Pff, and here we Half Life fans thought we had it hard waiting years for word on Episode 3.

This

Haha, I don't post much in the forums but OP your a light weight .

I personally have been waiting for Star Wars the Old Republic for two and a half years , since it was announced, with an expected three quarters of a year to go. We're all lucky this game isn't coming in out in two years, imagine the same wait for the elder scrolls 5 as Tor , or perhaps even Duke Nukem! Not a pretty thought.

the game takes note of what i spend most of my time doing and tries to give me more stuff to do related to that, thinking (quite rightly) that i'm having fun doing those things? oh no!

would you rather an NPC give you a quest where you have to go steal something if you've spent the entire game wrecking [censored] with a warhammer?



how DARE the game try and find a location for a quest?



i don't think you understand quite how this works. protip: it's not nearly as intrusive as Oblivion's system and does in fact provide a nice challenge for characters of all levels.



for real i have no idea what you're trying to say here. can you clarify?



here either.



MORE NUMBERS == MORE IMMERSION (or, "I Don't Understand The Perk System But There's Less Skills So I'll [censored] About It Anyway"

Being a Treatise on Sensationalist Whining about a Video Game)

I find it is a lot easier to jump on the hype train for a game coming sooner. For instance Mortal Kombat is only a month away yet it feels like forever! I try not to even think about Skyrim... :sadvaultboy:

HELL NO.
what about all the interviews and all the speculation, that wouldn't fit in a 3 month time frame!

Very cruel indeed... I cursed them for this. But hey, its worth waiting isn't it?

I'm cool with it. Now I know there will be a grand finale to what shoud be a good year of games.

Its so they can get feedback from the player rather than from other developers. "Third party influence"

Create hype. Get fans. Gain a market. Make money.

This way EVERYONE will know about it by the time it comes out.
