[URL="http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Official_Plug-ins"]Here[/URL] are the official Plug-ins.
I don't believe they are included in the Steam version.

That's what I said.

[QUOTE=hypno-toad;32878940]Im going to laugh when people realize that radiant story is just an interchangeable quest system. Its a smart system, but its nothing highly complex or innovative and you will see repetition. Like I said, it's a good system, but people are probably overestimating it.

There's going to be a bunch of "quest templates" with dialogue recorded for the potential quest givers, and throughout each dungeon (or likewise, area of landscape) there'll be "quest elements" hooked up, such as spawns for enemies related to the quest, a spawnpoint for the "subject" of the quest (kidnapped victim, family heirloom) So when you walk into a town, the game will fire off a new radiant quest check, the game will check what npcs are nearby and make sure they fit the race profile and voice of the quest giver's dialogue, then it'll look for any "quest elements" nearby and will assign the subjects of the quest to them.

At its core its just an interchangeable quest system. Its a quantity over qaulity thing, none of the radiant quests will be spectacular, but it's unlikely you'll ever play the exact same radiant quest twice... they'll always be with a new subject and in a new location and given by new people.[/QUOTE]

Considering a game like Mount And Blade kept me entertained by repeating different questish things in different areas and that was enough for me, this will keep me going along for a while just fine.

You should download a couple of graphical enhancers. And these don't detract from the look of the game.

So im guessing itll be like Red Dead Redemption's thing where Herbert Moon will come up to you and tell you to plant a battle axe into the guy that just robbed his store?

I just hope there is more to do when you are done with the dark brotherhood quests. After you were done with them all in oblivion you could do is talk to the night mother every week and get 200 gold with no real quest or anything. I just hope there are some people they want me to kill every now and then or they want me to go and recruit people or just give me some new quests of some type. Stuff like that.

[QUOTE=doommarine23;32878554]Sure Dragons, but Radiant Story and all this other Jazz they go on about. Who knows, I just don't like believing in hype.[/QUOTE]

All of that generally seems to still be in the game. None of it seems overly complicated or worth removing.

It'd be cool if the world would generate a random person for each kill too so you wouldn't be killing bigger characters off.

Sounds like that will happen with the Radiant Story.

[hypno-toad]

Not really new shots, but previously they were only really in magazine scans, so here's some better ones.

[QUOTE=jimhowl33t;32880609]The torch is glued to his knuckles.[/QUOTE]

And the final score is 6/10 - Skyrim was a fantastic game if not for the poorly held torches.

were you being sarcastic cause those are not that big at all

[editline]20th October 2011[/editline]

Unless he already fixed them but they sure as hell aren't thumbed

[Nefarious]

[QUOTE=Hostel;32880666]And the final score is 6/10 - Skyrim was a fantastic game that was brought down to it's knees by poorly held torches.[/QUOTE]

It's either an animation glitch, or a new, awesome weapon: the TORCH GAUNTLET.

[editline]21st October 2011[/editline]

Speaking about torches, they can now be smashed onto your foes' heads now, don't they?

Oh my, what wouldn't I do to dual-wield them all day...

[quote]Gametrailers is Spike TV though? [/quote]

6 minutes of skyrim footage divided between 12 minutes of booth babe contests

[Crpto2007]

[KorJax]

4 out of those 6 minutes will be rehash footage 1 minute will be talking directly at faces 30 seconds will be footage of Oblivion and 30 seconds will be actual new footage

[Generic.Monk]

don't forget
[h2]macro detail[/h2]

[hypno-toad]

I (possibly incorrectly) heard it was supposed to be a trailer or something. Dont quote me on that because there's a good chance it's a baseless rumor.. but still a possibility.
