I just hope my 480 is enough. Keep in mind I'll be pushing a 2560 by 1600 resolution and likely turn every single setting possible up to the max, even faders and LODs. Something about Skyrim looks like it will be harder to run than New Vegas and Fallout 3.
[QUOTE=MrCasual;32330806]Something about Skyrim looks like it will be harder to run than New Vegas and Fallout 3.[/QUOTE] Really? I don't see it.
[QUOTE=stepat201;32330934]Really? I don't see it.[/QUOTE] Well, the models look better. The terrain, trees, and foliage look better. Pretty sure that fog stuff is new, too. But I guess if they can get it to look and play good on a console, my PC should have no problems at all.
They seem to have improved upon the weather system immensely. Definite increase in atmosphere if anything.
[QUOTE=MrCasual;32296924]This series doesn't need multiplayer. For one thing its not balanced for multiplayer. Also it would ruin the immersion and story not only for having thousands of Dragonborns, but everything else that goes on when people play an online game. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v327/magicemperor2000/shitcock.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] Why is it that whenever someone mentions multiplayer everyone assumes he means 2000 players cluster fuck MMORPG? guys it's possible to have both singleplayer AND multiplayer in one game. sorry for bumping this old discussion
The Elder Scrolls games are built around the single player experience, and I personally love that fact. Can't wait to pick up my preorder! There is so much I am looking forward to. Honestly, I try not to get super hyped for games, or anything really, but I am quite excited!

But honestly, I think it would be so restricted and limiting that if it were attempted, it would be a huge disappointment and not what anyone thought regardless of how hard they tried.

If you looked up, it'd look like the rain decided to shoot forwards.
Adding multiplayer to The Elder Scrolls is a terrible idea. It sounds fun, sure... But there's absolutely no way it could do the series justice. To be realistic about it, they'd have to cut back on all of the immersion and expansiveness that the series is famous for. There's no way that the character creation system, the world detail, the open-world map, the amount of quests and just the over-all feel of the game could stand up to standards if there was a multiplayer function. It sounds great on paper but it just wouldn't work out. Multiplayer in TES is something I personally don't want to ever see happen.
It would be cool if they had an arena in the game that you go to that could match you with people from the internet while simultaneously keeping track and affecting your single player game. Like when you bring other people to your town on Animal Crossing: City Folk, how you stay in your single player game and they can pop in and out.

If that were the case you wouldn't have to play it so why would you care. Time and time again the only thing that I feel can be improved upon in TES (and Fallout 3+, by extension) is cooperative gameplay with another person.
[QUOTE=hypno-toad;32333606]Or they could just have a simplistic multiplayer with cut features and leave everything else the same. If that were the case you wouldn't have to play it so why would you care.[/QUOTE] That's exactly the point though. People want the same gameplay experience as the regular game but with another person(s) which just isn't possible. They'd have to cut features and dull it down which defeats the purpose of making it in the first place because it won't be what the players wanted. Like I said, it does sound fun. On paper it's a great idea, but technically and practically it just wouldn't work, at least not without heavily nerfing all of the features that hold the series up to so high of standards. And regardless of all our personal opinions Todd has said multiple times that he doesn't want multiplayer in TES, which I fully support. Also, how exactly can they make a "simplistic multiplayer with cut features" and "leave everything else the same?"

Ooh, character creation [url]http://www.gametrailers.com/video/tgs-11-elder-scrolls/721142[/url] I like the fact that there are less sliders that perform more general changes to appearance since it was really fucking hard to make a character that stood out from the default faces on Oblivion without making him/her some kind of deformed inbred mutant, or at least it took time or mods Also scars and warpaint for Khajiit [editline]10:35[/editline] also what fitting music
I like the fact that we can customize our characters without giving them potato faces. Anyway, it seems pretty alpha as fuck when you see the helmet right after being done with the character creation and the disoriented neck.

[QUOTE=Stud Muffin;32333931]And the eyes changed position when the helmet appeared.[/QUOTE] Actually, if you watch closely, what happens is the helmet rapidly reset the eye position to default and then switched back to the modified position. Not sure why, but it hardly seems like that big of a deal. [editline]pooplol[/editline] I changed my mind, game-breaker. Canceling all 7 of my preorders.
[QUOTE=PhantomGamers;32327596][t]http://www.notmydesk.com/npc/nondrick004.jpg[/t] so immersive.... [editline]16th September 2011[/editline] I hope your right... I only posted that article because it's more recent then the nerdtrek one. Or at least I think it is, I just saw it on the N4G twitter feed when I posted. [editline]16th September 2011[/editline] Oblivion and Morrowind both had pretty good graphics for their time, good enough for me to find some immersion in them in my own head, only because there was only so much more that they could do at that time. It's 2011 now, if it doesn't have good graphics it's not going to be immersive at all for me. This and the first comment aren't supposed to contradict each other, maybe I didn't word this right, but I'm extremely tired, try to make some sense out of it, even if you don't agree.[/QUOTE] You didn't live in the N64 era, did you?
Where is that picture of the Oblivion races updated to Skyrim, can't seem to find it.

Territory fights between Dunmer and Argonian players could be pretty cool. But trying to worm it into Skyrim or Oblivion or whatever would be silly. It could end up being silly in an interesting sort of way though, like Multi Theft Auto.
[QUOTE=Noobmaster;32334228]Fable 3 has multiplayer though.[/QUOTE] Funny, I played that in its entirety without noticing [sp]pretty easy to skip over minor details like that when it only takes you six hours to finish[/sp]
[QUOTE=Generic.Monk;32330439]recommended will probably be something around an 8800gt[/QUOTE] I'd guess more like a GTX 260/Radeon HD 5770 .
Something I noticed from the character creation vid, apparently Khajiit have unarmed claw attacks.
The snowy winds blowing into his face when he discovered Bleak Falls Barrow was really nice.
[QUOTE=Ganerumo;32317587]Dark Brotherhood was the best quest ever. It could even have been the main quest if it was longer imo. The passage I both love and hate is when you have to [sp]cleanse the sanctuary by killing everyone inside[/sp], because at this point you've been working for the brotherhood long enough to consider it a lesser evil to a greater good, something that has to exist and that is thankfully existing, and then, they ask you to do that - it's a huge slap in the face. [sp]Especially because I liked a lot some of the characters in there, especially the two argonians you can befriend with and help as much as getting help from them[/sp] Same for what happened to Lucien, and even the first and last time you go [sp]in the hidden tomb under the statue[/sp], you're both pushed towards thinking the Brotherhood is good and is evil at the same time. Compared to the "Hurp a durp you're a prisoner I didn't trust a second ago go give that to the emperor's hidden son and save the world :downs:" main quest, it's hella deep.[/QUOTE] This fucking this. When I saw [sp]Lucien's body hanging, stripped from all that he once was[/sp], I was so fucking disturbed and sad. It was a really intense moment. And also, the cleansing. [QUOTE=Playguy;32318687]I agree. I walked into the sanctuary and saw Vicente Valtieri. He looked at me with a wide smile and greeted me saying I was a gift. [sp]after I finally killed him[/sp] I sat in a corner and cried.[/QUOTE] This too. Gahhhh.
the thieves guild questline was my favourite. the grey fox is one of the coolest characters in anything ever.
