If you manage to get anything I will be amazed. For me just ask how much of the Meristation article was true.

Thanks, It is my B-Day Aug 7, so I will try few tricks up my sleeve. Also I will write as much detail as possible. It may be 3-4 posts long if not more.

If you manage to score an interview, EVERYONE here will remember to congratulate you on Aug 7 :celebrate: . We'll prepare a Deluxe Fishy Stick. ;)

Thanks, even if I don't get an interview I will post a full transcript of EVERYTHING. I might also make a video with footage of the event as a whole.

Didn't GStaff say it would be a no-filming event? You don't want to get thrown out :nono:.

Just your impressions would be fine, and any factual details you can recall. Thanks :).

Lets see,
1. Will lycantropes be in skyrim, nevermind being one, just are they in the environment?
2. Will blocking be handled differently per weapon as some forum goers are expecting, or will it be a universal "button"?
3. Elaborate on smithing and enchanting, will it be actual mini games, or more like alchemy was in oblivion?
4. Will there be other adventurers in skyrim?
5. To get my fishy lunch will I have to jump in the water and show the fish my pointy weapon, or will I be more practical? i.e. fishing rod

Well, the one thing I'd truly like is this:

Can you clarify the method used to transition into a city cell for the 5 that are in separate memory spaces?

1) How will assassination be handled? Will you be able have stealth kills; such as in Crysis 2.
good question also ask if the PC can disguise himself like in FNV


2) Will there be multiple ways to complete quests?
you need to rephrase this - they have already mentioned this in a few ways -I would make the question more specific.

For example, you could ask about the Spanish Meristation magazine which reports that you can complete many quests in more ways than you could in Oblivion, and even the Civil War can be ended in different ways. Is this article accurate?


3) How will the factions be handled? Will there be be more factions then oblivion? Will there be branching quests in the factions?
good question, but keep in mind the definition of factions
there were 331 "factions" in oblivion, so I would ask "factions the PC can join" not just total number of factions.
Also, ask specifically if there will be multiple Arenas, since the Skyrim lore suggests multiple Arena teams for each city and Emil Pagliarulo was so upset about the scrapping of all the Arenas he painstakingly crafted with unique NPCs, quests and dialogue for every city in Oblivion due to space limitations on the Xbox disc.

Ask if the Necromancers, Dark Brotherhood, Bards College of Solitude, all three factions already confirmed by Todd Howard or other devs in previous interviews, will be joinable by the PC.

Ask if any of the factions described in Skyrim lore, such as The Horme Bandits, Whiterun Witches Coven, Synod, Volkihar Ice Vampire Clan, Haafingar Marines, will make an appearance and if they will be joinable by the PC.

Ask what are some of the differences between the Mage's Guild of Oblivion and The College of Winterhold, or Fighter's Guild vs. The Companions?


4) Do you believe the leveling system, along with the new skill system, allow for more customization?
this is a bad question. Of course he will say yes.

5) How will the AI of npc's be handled? Will they be as smart or smarter when you showed them for oblivion in 2005/2006.
Good start, but i think there might be a more detailed way to ask about this that might force more information

And you will fail. Especially if that Avatar is a pic of You.

:rofl:

Whatever you do DON'T ask about werewolves, spears, crossbows, greaves and cuirasses, hardcoe mode, Meristation or riding dragons. If you do you will get told to move on.

That out of the way, What role (if any) will the Falmer play, an NPC or two or Ruins?

How do you collect ores used in Smithing? Is it similar to the way it was handled in the Shivering Isles DLC or are you actually going to mine them with a pickaxe (this one hopefully)?

Will there be all 16 deadra shrines?
Which planes can we expect to see?
Jyggalag?
Werewolves/Werebears/Vampires?
Joinable witches/necromancers?
Is smithing, alchemy, and enchanting minigame/spreadsheet?
Fishing minigame?
Real estate details?
Who can you marry?
Branching MQ/factions questlines?
... I'm all out... for now...
Spanish article is a must, though.

Ask if the generic townspeople (you know, the ones who you don't go into a dialog menu with but simply give a rumor or other comment) will have names or if we'll be seeing "Riften Settler" everywhere.

Ask if they well use a name randomiser like in Daggerfall to sidestep the "We have better things to do than name generic townspeople"response.
