The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim "And your beard's beard has beards too" - Games

I suggest the next thread title to be "The Elder Beards V: Skybeard" and the thread's Banner would have the V be someone's beard.

Clearly, Dovahkiin.

Easy for you to say

Dovahkiin barely has a beard, and he kind of looks like an 18 year old boy. Put oblivion guy in Dovah's helmet, give him a long flowing beard.

Slaying people is too mainstream.

I slayed dragons before it was popular

[QUOTE=Raijin;28316035]Best possible thread title 2011. When we get to V2 I vote the title be "A Mandelbrot of Beards".[/QUOTE] He died :smith:

you haven't heard FUS ROH DAH? well now you're dead

[QUOTE=Jund;28323051]I slayed dragons before it was popular[/QUOTE] It's funny because it's been a popular concept since like the beginning of spoken language.

so, i was searching about skyrim and found this: by the way, the image is enormous. [media]http://www.deviantart.com/download/189863291/___but_there_is_one_they_fear__by_swiftblade_tenshou-d351fgb.png[/media] and it's in our dropbox shared folder :v:

[url]http://stickskills.com/news/1516/new-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-details-listed/[/url] [quote] * Your character will learn the acient language of the dragons. The phrases can include up to three words and are mostly found inscribed on dungeon walls. The phrases will allow you to do certain things such as slow down time, knock back foes, and more. * The phrases are mapped to the right bumper/R1 and you'll learn one word at a time for each phrase. Learning more words within the phrase will allow the spell to be either more powerful or longer. * Finishing moves will be available for your characters in battle. The article describes a finishing move where you plunge "your saber through a foe's chest". * Telekinesis will be an available spell, allowing those of you who are rather lazy the ability to pick up items or objects to launch at your enemies. * Runes can be cast and used as traps. The article describes a situation where you can throw a frost rune to the ground, and if an enemy walks across it, pieces of ice will impale them. * A perk is available that gives your enemies deeper cuts. A strategy talked about is simply hitting your opponent with a solid strike, then hiding as they slowly bleed to death. * Around 80 different spells will be featured in the game. * If you find yourself below average at using weapons, you should still be able to survive in combat using offensive and defensive magic.' * The two handed mechanic Bethesda introduces in Skyrim for fighting will remind a ton of gamers of the BioShock series. * If you happen to scale one of the many peaks in Skyrim, all of the snow you see is totally dynamic. * All of the established Elder Scrolls races will return in Skyrim. * The race you pick in the beginning will only effect your baseline stats, as what you actually do in the world with your combat, magic, and stealth will help shape your character instead. * The "perks" system will still allow you to make more direct changes to your character as well. As opposed to Fallout, perks in Skyrim are on a much smaller scale. * Graphics engine for Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is "all but written from scratch". * Cities in Skyrim will all be unique, shying away from the reusing of assets we popularly saw in Oblivion. * There are 120 dungeons, with each one typically having its own feel. Far more traps and puzzles are featured in them too. * While you may be able to avoid them at some points in your journey, you're going to have to take dragons down at some point, and it won't be an easy task. * Dragons aren't scripted, they'll cruise the entire world and occassionally land on different objects or areas. Make one mad and it'll swoop down to take you on. * New to Skyrim also is the "Radiant Story system". An example listed in the article is, "If you discard a weapon on the ground to free up inventory space, you might find that a nearby character approaches you. If they like you, they might offer the sword back to you in case you dropped it by accident; if they're neutral toward you, they might ask if they can have it; and if they dislike you, they might simply nab the weapon and take off. Kill that character and the Radiant Story system will search for his or her relatives, and may even send one of them in pursuit of you to avenge the murder." [/quote] Not really sure how much is new, but might as well post it.

[QUOTE=lunarwalrus;28322660]Dovahkiin barely has a beard, and he kind of looks like an 18 year old boy. Put oblivion guy in Dovah's helmet, give him a long flowing beard.[/QUOTE] Dovakhiin has more beard then Imperial Guard.

I hope the finishing move is enabled when your oppoenent is going to die. The game could just detect whether you're going to hit them or not, and then display the new animation. Here's hoping they are not all over the top, though. I mean if you've got a dagger and you are about to do the finishing hit, your character should just give the opponent a good quick stab to the chest to bring them down.

[quote]* All of the established Elder Scrolls races will return in Skyrim.[/quote] good, now we know all the races are playable again, can't wait to see how they will look in skyrim!

Like if i just want to go Oblivions way (slashslashslash) to kill or choose to use the finishing move instead. I dont want to be forced to used them.

[QUOTE=Dovahkiin;28326451]good, now we know all the races are playable again, can't wait to see how they will look in skyrim![/QUOTE] Khajit, will be white/light brownish I guess, maybe even you can choose what form of Khajit. Argonians will be closer to their Daggerfall counterpart. Well, thats what I figured. [editline]27th February 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Dr Bob;28326500]I know they fuck this up.[/QUOTE] agreed.

I dont want to be forced to used them.[/QUOTE] If it's purely a visual aspect then it won't make a difference. The game could just casually toss in the animation when you strike and they have almost no health left. That's what I mean, as long as it's not long and super drawn out then there would be no reason to turn it off [quote]Telekinesis will be an available spell, allowing those of you who are rather lazy the ability to [B]pick up items or objects to launch at your enemies.[/B][/quote]Oh my god, thank fuck. Dark messiah was a great game, but it was ultimately a dead end franchise. I don't want to outwright say that TES: V is copying their ideas (though, I guess I just did) but they really should and there's no problem with it. Some of those game mechanics should not fade into obscurity.

[QUOTE=Dr Bob;28326500]I hope they don't gimp this.[/QUOTE] It will probably work like Oblivions "Dynamic" NPCs.

I hope the guards in Skyrim has some good lines.
