what are you talking about? did new footage or info got released?

in real time?.that would make more interesting.

i hope this is a joke haha

You look under "Your Profile". But, I still don't know why you have a problem with these systems being in real time :shrug:...

Third. Source?

Sure why not. I'm completely indifferent to it.

Nothing to discuss; we agree. Realtime books in RPGs are almost as bad as realtime inventory.

For those that are new to the TES series, the lore is extensive and can be learned primarily by reading the books. I doubt any other video-game has as much lore, at such a high quality. I've never seen one...


As far as the reading interface, I love the idea of it being more immersive and realistic. I hope the same system is implemented with the dialogue interface. It bothered me that the whole world froze while you were talking to somebody in TES IV.

No there is things to dicuss my Fallout brethren and that's our opinions on this. And as I said I'm indifferent to it.

However I am in favor of realtime systems just as I am that Deus Ex: HR is going that route for a few of its mechanics.

Of coarse at the same time I wouldn't support it in every RPG. A lot of Deus Ex 1's system was flawed but it allowed you the time and flexibility to experiment with the environment and not panic while say hacking.

Would you prefer it if the game used realtime lighting on the books; and it was made realistic to try to read one (without an equipped torch) in a cave or underground hall?
If "no"... Why not?

(Consider... that an equipped torch would make it impossible to turn the pages while holding the book; and it might need be placed on a table or the ground.)

It has been confirmed that when you talk to people they will go about their business without freezing the game world to talk.

really we can read and turn pages

sorry OP, not wanting this is ..... stupid

yes

I would like that. Also, what's wrong with real time inventories? They make the game more difficult?

I know

i mean its like people want ugliness

OP: waiter can you bring me some rotten monkey brains to eat.

waiter: ehhh sir we are offering some lobster made by the best chef on the planet for FREE, also you can order any kind of food you like and he will make it for you.

OP: NO no no don't be silly I want to eat crap its more realistic, this new eat magnificent food system for free is too strange for me.

waiter: as you wish sir :facepalm:

I wouldn't mind that either. I absolutely love the 3D book feature and i'll spend even more time reading and collecting books then I did in the previous games.

I think it's great, now I can read to pass time instead of having to wait.
This is going to make me read more books than I did in Morrowind and Oblivion.

Seriously, OP? This is one of the best features going into Skyrim (bar the Radiant AI/Story)..

A real time book isn't hyper realism anyways. No large game mechanics are changed unless suddenly a dragon jet tackles you down into the middle of Nirn.

... And I never implied otherwise. :shrug:

I do not speak for everyone else, only myself, and am alarmed that my comment would be interpreted by default as you have implied. :shocking:

Personally I liked it stopping when I opened a menu.

Gave me time to find the potion I was looking for in combat. Not enough hotkeys for everything.

WHERE IS THIS CONFIRMED?!?! Nobody's answered the multiple people that have asked.

Honestly, my opinion?

Its actually the same as with realtime books. If you ever played diablo, then you have at one point been reading an item description, and been hit unawares (possibly even killed). The advent of realtime inventory was to originally solve the problem of players swapping out weapons (and in some games even armor), in between opponents during a fight. In Baldur's Gate this meant that you could slip into inventory and re-read scroll spell descriptions and by the time you found the one you wanted, most of your party was wounded or dead.

Eventually a non-obstructing inventory screen became the norm, (Diablo has this, and Arx Fatalis has it), but even so, its still a hassle and very unrealistic, and an unnecessary risk IMO. There is no reason to make the game more difficult for a non-game related task. If one must pretend they are the PC and realtime-rummage in their nap-sack, the better solution is hotkeys that they set and memorize; because the menu alternative is not an accurate depiction of how it would be; As the character would know where they put something and would just grab for it (IE best represented by a hot-key). No one would sit down and dig through their stuff while a thing was beating them half to death with a stick (and if they did... they would not be scrolling though tabbed menus to find it ~meaning the delay is artificially longer than it would be because of the interface).

Players that read the menu based inventory should not have to bother with getting hit over the head while doing so. If it were really happening and they were really there they would recall the details; and not need to re-read them after a month of not playing the game.

In the absolute very least... The game should IMO allow the player to pause the game when in menus or books ~that would be the most valuable toggle addition that I have so far read in the forums.

someone plese tell me, and the other people whove asked, where 3d books have been confirmed

The simple solution: don't read things when you're in danger. It's understandable that you're punished for doing so.
