What we know until now : V - Skyrim

Confirmed that each Skill has it's own constellation, and each star in that constellation is a perk.

This is why the 7 skills were listed horizontally and took up the whole screen.

Thanks, didn't see this before and didn't think of it. At least it makes sense for that iPhone interface. Was it confirmed somewhere or did you observe this in the image?

confirmed in direct text and image.

only dual wielding crossbows would be possible and AWESOME

Maybe you'll be able to hold two long bows against each other with arrows laying across opposite sides and fire off two shots ?

That's actually a pretty good idea, I hope they thought about it. Still, having some fire in one hand and some healing in the other will bring up some interesting new gameplay.

hmy:

Remember that moon that almost crashed into Vivec (the city), but then Vivec (the god) stopped it with his divine power?

And then you destroyed the source of Vivec's divine power?

Yeah.

Don't have the mag right now, are you sure? Not talking about wolves?

I can confirm that there is something big that *looks* like it might be a dog, walking next to someone that *looks* like they might be a guard. It doesn't appear to be on a leash. It actually looks more like a cheetah to me, but could just be a large breed dog.

Im slightly worried that this game is falling from TES Roots, and 18 skills? CMON.....we need atleast 21+ skills to help the uniqueness going. No more mysticism :swear:
Oh well, i guess the more things change the more they stay the same perhaps?

For now, I'm pretty optimistic. The game almost goes a bit back to Morrowind with F3 level scaling and more tactical combat. F3 was a step up from Oblivion in terms of RPG stuff, so I'm sure they have built more on that.
Regarding the number of skills, 18 is still enough for a very long and balanced game. Mysticism spells were redistributed among the other 5 schools, so the spells are still in. It will be interesting when they reveal info about the Attributes and how are they managed now.

Updated with some of the facts stated in Alduin's Wall.

You forgot to add that there will be finishing moves with each weapon and different finisher's on different types of enemys. :ninja:

Don't forget: Windows confirmed to do nothing.

» Tue May 17, 2011 1:02 pm

Not really, through that the confirmation is that like always, we have separated cells for interiors and exteriors. But yes, you could call it that they do nothing. At least I hope they light up at night like in FNV.
Some screens would be great, I wonder why don't they release any on the net and how does marketing decide when to do it. Wait, GI might still have exclusivity seeing no other site is getting any new info. That must be it for January.

You're aware it's constantly like this, there was even a thread some days ago about the fact that the PC and NPC models might not have self-shadowing. Yes, you could be concerned about that too, but with a game like this there are bigger problems.

From what i have seen, dwarfs ruins are in, and a few nord settlements/cities are built on the remnants of dwarven cities
