Q: Todd, why do you force me to label you as a bouchedag?
A: Because I lost any trace of humanity a long time ago.

(you all knew there would be some of these posts, so don't get too annoyed by it.)

1. Why do you want to force all platforms to look equal?

2. Will the graphics be improved before 11/11/11? If so, on all platforms or just on the PC?

3. Are we going to be able to climb in Skyrim?

4. Will there be polearms, spears, throwing weapons, crossbows, or any other kind of weapons that weren't in Oblivion?

5. Are there any new guilds in Skyrim? If so, name one of the new ones please!

6. Will there be "invisible walls" that surround the ends of the game world in Skyrim?

7. When will you start working on DLCs and expansions and such for Skyrim?

8. Why wasn't the world size made bigger than Oblivion's?

9. I understand that mounts are a maybe for the release, but how is the development looking at this moment?

10. Do we have footprints in Skyrim?

11. Will there be any improvements for the underwaters in Skyrim? Any chance for us to see sea monsters or such in deep depths? :)

12. Will we walk "in snow" (as in, wade through snow; snow has a depth) or walk "on snow" (snow is just a thin layer that you always walk above)?

13. Are dungeons also seperated as interior cells, or is it just houses and buildings that are seperate cells from exterior cells?

14. Are there any courts in Skyrim, where you are able to defend yourself if accused of a crime?

15. Is there a "hardcoe mode" (optional or non-optional; the need to eat/drink/sleep, etc...) in Skyrim?

16. Will we be able to see our feet/body in first person view?

17. This is the best RPG in the world. Thanks for making this!

Question 1: We have heard about the improved combat animations and "meatier feel" of fighting. Does this extend to your weapon animation changing or halting when it hits an enemy and not continuing past/through him like the flail-a-sword system in OB?

Question 2: Please may I have a job? Physicist for hire, will work for sci-fi and peanut M&Ms.

1. How much detail can you go into with us regarding Radiant Story? There's some concerns that it may be used to generate scenarios out of context, or that it's randomizing nature will create an unrefined, and/or underdetailed feel to a lot of the quests.

2. How many weapon subvariants can we expect? For Example, in Morrowind you had in what could be described as a "1 handed Long-Sword" Category. Longswords, Broadswords, Sabers, and Katanas, where as in Oblivion, there was just Longsword and the unique-ish Akavir Katana (Inc. Goldbrand and Ebony Blade)

3. Building on 2 a little bit, how unique does each weapon feel? Aside from maybe a little bit of a speed difference, the actual "Feel" of a weapon in Oblivion was almost identical, right down to the special skills one could execute. This created a rather unsatisfying feel to the combat, and players generally stuck with the weapon that had the highest DPS potential.


4. Will Skyrim be able to take advantage of the new Xbox360 Disc storage capacity?


5. With the Dialog changes, how will Criminal Scum be forced to "Stop Right there?"


6. Any perks you wish to share, that can give us an idea of what to expect, and how much flavor and variety it'll add to specific character builds?

10. Do we have footprints in Skyrim?



In the slow mo version of the trailer I can only see puffs of snow as the pc is running through. Like little clounds of dust, but white.

It won't be too long that we'll be able to ask our own questions (well... maybe not ALL of us. Or ALL of these). Beth usually does fan interviews where we submit a mass of questions and they answer them.

Theres been alot of interviews with Todd Howard on Skyrim here lately and i know alot of you can think of a few questions that you would love to ask the guy that never seemed to get asked.

My question?

What armour is the dovakiin wearing in his pics and trailer?
How intuitive can we expect armour and weapon crafting to be? (ie type, design. material, colour)
Will there be references to the Akiviri?


I would ask him for his autograph then ask if I can work as a network manager at bethesda :disguise:
