pmp10 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 i think a lot of the critics who gushed over oblivion simply hadn't seen such a game before, coming from a console background. oblivion had a lot of WOW factor if you only played it for about 10 hours. it was only after longer did so many of the hideous flaws become apparent (for many people) Morrowind was on console too. yeah but you know they didnt play it Morrowind sold very well on xbox. Bethesda admitted openly that it's success convinced them to drop pc focus for oblivion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowtrain Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Nice. The face doesn't look like a bag of gas. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

WDeranged Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Must all fantasy weapons be completely impractical? I think we all know the answer to that one Also, there's a 40 minute video of the Quakecon presentation on the Torrent sites for those who are interested.

Niten_Ryu Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Must all fantasy weapons be completely impractical? Yes Saw blade weapons could be useful in fantasy world as denizens often possess superhero level strength and speed. And weapons have durability much higher then many real world materials. Thus with enough power, that inpractical saw blade weapon could cut thru full plate armor, flash and bone with relative ease. Just try it (or don't if you're inexperienced with those powertools) with your table saw or angle grinder - Start with extremely low rotation speed and see at what speed you can cut thru various materials. Remember to use Safety gloves and goggles That was complitely offtopic, sorry abou that. I'll probably wait untill next years QuakeCon Steam deal untill I buy Skyrim. It don't interest me nearly enough to buy at the full price. Let's play Alpha Protocol My misadventures on youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entrerix Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 it looks fake to me, but if its real then i approve, i was a bit worried that every race would look like the big bodybuilder nord. Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.

entrerix Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 wow, this might be the first game i ever touch the khajit and argonian races, those both look REALLY good. the khajit reminds me of The Beast from Grant Morissons Here Comes Tomorrow run.

Undecaf Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I've been quite critical towards this game, and likely continue to be so, but these character models do look really good - especially the argonian.

Neogaf has a thread up with all the new screenshots. I need a screen of a Redguard nao! (I hope Beth makes them look visually distinct and not just dark-skinned humans.)

Starwars Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Still think the character designs look silly but that's really just the lore at work, the character models sure as hell look like a big improvement over Oblivion.

WDeranged Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I've never been able to play a Khajiit, I don't mind having them in the world but it just feels bloody daft running around as a cat... I reckon I might try running around as a giant lizard at some point though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorstUsernameEver Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 The game looks really good and will look even better when the modders will get their hands on it (though as always, they'll overdo it too ), but that really has never been my main problem with Oblivion and it's not what I'm interested about in Skyrim.

Undecaf Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 (edited) The Bosmer have been de-pussified, I can't imagine him bitching about a lost ring. But isn't that one of the "TES strengths" (at least since Oblivion), having unexpected NPC behavior? I can imagine the radiant storytelling having a guy looking like that posing a quest of missing nailclippers to the player.

WDeranged Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 They've shown lots of baddass looking player characters so I do wonder if they're included normal, boring faces. It'll be a bit weird if all the NPC's are seven foot tall musclemen with murder in their eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
