Personally, I could care less about greaves and pauldrons.

I just want some interesting factions, kickass perks, shouts and spells, challenging combat, lots of cultural details, more dynamic economy mechanics and hopefully some kind of survival features.

I would especially love to see some fun, well written quests in Skyrim on the level of Whodunit? or Paranoia from Oblivion

That's not too much to ask for, is it?

To me, pauldrons would be sweet. I loved having some specific pauldrons in Morrowind. Still it's not a big deal... lol. I think a lot of people are making a way too big deal out of stuff like this. I like pauldrons but I rate them very low on my "what I care about list".

Greaves... I don't care. I think it just looks ugly to have a different kind of greaves armour than your cuirass.

Do all Americans say 'I could care less' and do you know if any other nationality has this as a phrase? I'm curious.

pretty much




I have no idea, maybe some Brit or Aussie forum members can respond.

I'm not sure if it's a problem exclusive to the US, but it sure is annoying.

This.

Well here (Britain) we say 'I couldn't care less'. Meaning we do not care at all. It's only Americans that I have so far heard saying could and I just wasn't sure why.

There are separate armor models for males and females.

Also, as for the whole armor discussion, I am quite sure the Smithing skill will allow incredible customization on armor that will make us laugh at previous TES games for having such shallow armor design. All the evidence so far points to armor being more variable, with the possibility of combining materials as well, which would completely blow away any concerns about "armor options" for the worriers out there.

i.e. Elven Glass armor as a possibility (granted, I just think they've decided to call "Glass" stuff "Elven glass" because it sounds cooler and makes more sense) as well as the variety of pauldrons and cuirass pieces we've seen in screens and vids that range from leather to iron/leather, etc.

I just want interesting quests and characters on par with Fallout New Vegas. Yes, I know New Vegas wasn't made by Bethesda, but I think Bethesda could take some pages out of the books of Chris Avellone and the rest of writers that worked tirelessly on the game. New Vegas had many great characters (Caesar, Mr. House, to name a couple), quests that made me feel like I was having some sort of impact on the world, no matter how minuscule that impact may have been. (Oblivion made me feel like the only thing I ever did in the game was save Kvatch, I was that guy, the one who saved Kvatch. Not the one who worked his ass off to get into the Mage's Guild or saved helpless kittens out of trees.) :tops:

Fallout 3 and New Vegas all around had better quests and dialogue than Oblivion, in my opinion of course.

I could care less, but that would take effort on my part. Effort the thing in question doesn't deserve. So, yes, I could care less, but it's simply not worth it.

Think of it that way. Though to be honest I usually say I couldn't care less.

OT:

Couldn't help noticing your avatar...

It's...errr...peculiar.

I second that only more so,

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo (take deep breath).......

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Because this game is about being whoever you want and doing whatever you want.

It might not be a big deal to you, but a lot of us enjoy the freedom of Elder Scrolls game and that includes the customization of your character. We want MORE choices as far as customization, not less.

I had never thought of it being used that way. Thank you.

That's moronic. It takes no effort to not care. It's just another idiom that's been warped by people who don't know what they're saying.

Yes, hopefully, considering (i) the backdrop of the civil war, and (ii) the map on the Bethesda Studios wall that revealed REBELS based at Windhelm and EMPIRE based at Solitude, there is some likelihood of a more dramatic main quest where the player must choose which side of the civil war to support.

Some have argued against any multiple endings because they want their playthrough to be faithful to canon.

Personally, I COULD NOT CARE LESS :rofl: about whether any particular playthrough of mine diverges from whatever Bethesda determines to be the "canon ending" of the game, since I will play the game multiple times, making different choices along the way. IMO, having player choices dramatically impact the world and the game's ending trumps fidelity to the literary canon any day.

Shh don't taunt the americans. They might make our release date later than theirs. D=

I'm an American myself. :sadvaultboy:

Well in that case, carry on good sir.

Oh, I'm so happy now. I could just...just...DANCE! :dance:

It's common for americans to say this phrase wrong as it's actually 'I couldn't care less' as that actually makes sense, also why you are going off on this tangent i don't know as it's way off topic.

OT:

Yeah, it's from Gundam. The symbol for Zeon, the flag is fitting considering the series is kind of a science-fictional take on WWII. (Axis-Zeon and the Allies-Earth Federation)

It ended about as well for the Zeon loyalists as it did for Nazi Germany in WWII also.

We went off topic as soon as we stopped talking directly about the Ashley Cheng Interview video. I don't think a small side discussion is going to change the whole theme of this topic do you?

I could care less that the term "I could care less" doesn't make any sense.

Because they feels some users are to dumb to understand the concept of "pants." Hence the term "pants-on-head [censored]. "
