The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim V5: But there is one they fear - Dragon porn!
55,644 replies, posted
I just realized that Skyrim is being released on Veteran's Day, which means it's going to be out when I've got a 3 day weekend.
I sent an email to G2play to see if they know for certain that it wasn't steamworks/steam redeemable
[quote]
Me: Has it been confirmed that it doesn't use steamworks or will not be steam redeemable
G2P: Unfortunately we dont have any info about TES Skyrim on steam.

Very quick reply I assume it's automated
I liked the part where he clipped through the dragon's mouth
Can't wait to begin playing. Only a few months left.
TBH the combat looks pretty boring (atleast blades) LoDs still look pretty damn funky, and it still looks pretty unpolished for it being this close to release. Still going to buy it anyway because I've always been able to look past the ridiculous amount of faults Bethesda games have and enjoy the game

Yeah, the combat doesn't look much better for melee, so I'm going to stick with archery on my first go.

It's an improvement on Oblivion.

At least now enemies get force knockback from strong hits, and ragdolls are easier to watch, even if the transition wasn't nice (The first dragon he killed just stood still for a moment then sudenly, ragdoll)

anything is better than oblivion's combat
[QUOTE=DilemmaMan;31593623]It's an improvement on Oblivion.[/QUOTE]Oblivion isn't a great game in the first place so it's really not that hard to improve on anything with a little bit of effort.

The only way you could seriously say this is if you just played it for the first time in the last year. It was one of the most amazing games ever made when it released over five years ago.

Then it should still be good now.
I like Oblivion, but if it isn't good now that doesn't mean we should put on Nostalgia goggles.

I just played it for the first time ever without knowing anything about the series after I bought it at the Steam Summer Sale, and I say it's pretty good. No nostalgia here.
I'm playing it right now, and I love it. Sure, it's no Morrowind, but it's a standard Elder Scrolls game.
And I'm sure Skyrim will be somewhere between Morrowind and Oblivion.
the crowd in that 30 minute video were really annoying

No, I still think it's a good game, just don't give it a benefit for comparing to modern day games just because it was good back then.

Hey, games that are good at one time can be good now. EX: Half Life, Morrowind, Quake, Counter Strike 1.6, etc.
I'm getting some strong "graphics whore" vibes from you, mate. Please, for your sake and mine, prove me wrong.
It makes me sad that it doesn't look like they improved horses too much.
In Oblivion horses just felt clunky to me...
I blame Red Dead Redemption :(
They need to work with R* on the horses. lol.
[QUOTE=PhantomGamers;31595813]In Oblivion horses just felt clunky to me...[/QUOTE]
mainly because everything in Oblivion felt clunky
When I got Oblivion in 2006, it was the most amazing game I had ever seen. I never played any Elder Scrolls before, so everything was brand new. For it's time, it was amazing.
It has aged HORRIBLY though, so it is only natural for a bandwagon to form.

do you have any idea what bandwagon means
I'm expressing my opinion not jumping on some gay bandwagon
[QUOTE=IdiotStorm;31596176]mainly because everything in Oblivion felt clunky[/QUOTE]
True, but the Horses stood out the most for me.
Considering there was a lot of land to travel and Horses are the only real transportation method without Fast Traveling, they just weren't proper.
I just hope the horses feel better in Skyrim then it seems in the presentations.

It was amazing, and still is amazing, but it's still Clunky.
I wouldn't say the clunkiness ruins the amazing status at all, but if it WASN'T clunky it would have far surpassed amazing.
About the UI, I can understand wanting a minimalist one, but does it have to be literally all over the fucking god damn screen? Hopefully it will be easy to edit / mod it

The fuck are you on about? Deus Ex is one of my favorite games of all time, along with Half-Life. I'm just saying don't say it's always better because it's older.
[QUOTE=JerryK;31595089]the crowd in that 30 minute video were really annoying[/QUOTE]I'd have been cheering as well.
I don't think they have swimming animations working all the way yet.
He just barely stepped into the river then turned around and ran away when we were chanting "Water" :v:

I think that was because he didn't want to be taken away by the current.
Should I buy Skyrim for $42 and wait 1-2 weeks for it to be delivered or pay $90 and get it the night it is released?
