Equipping pick axes is back. Hopefully this means more less obvious weapons can be wielded so. I wailed on a dude with a pickaxe for a good 2 mintues towards the end of my first demo. The game crashed at that point, which one of the Bethesda guys said had only happened once before today (I was in about an hour and a half after doors opened for early entry) and that it seems to only be a problem with the old Xbox using this build. He said it should be fine on Elite and the new one.
EDIT: THE ABOVE IS A STATEMENT FROM EARLIER THREAD AND I AM talking about will an old xbox360 be able to run it or the arcade 360 and how to tell what type of 360 you have
