Hey, i was curious as to when you guys think Skyrim will be announced, aswell as do you think it will use the creation Engine.

Sometime in 2012

Creation Engine, I need to check that out :ermm:

I just hope they take more from the Originals when it come to game balance. Lock picking, Special and keep all the things New Vegas brought back from the Originals such as damage threshold and reputation system.

I'm guessing Q1-2, Skyrim was announced a couple months after New Vegas released, so it would make sense. Release would probably be October-November 2013, leaving 3 years between it and New Vegas. I don't really want to wait longer, and 2 years of hardcoe development between the release of Skyrim and the release of the next Fallout is enough to make it fleshed out and good. Also, I have a strong feeling it will use the Creation Engine, just hopefully with more adaptions than what they did between Oblivion and Fallout 3/NV.

You did mean Fallout4 and not Skyrim right? I think they'll announce it maybe in a year or two if Fallout4 is to ever be made. If they were to make a Fallout 4 they probably would use the same engine as Skyrim which is creation I assume. So now we get to say fallout 4 well be Skyrim with guns!
