Syraxis Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 The modding community will fix that! After the first wave of nude/sex mods that is.
WDeranged Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 I remember when I first realised that I had to levitate to get up to the towers, definitely a cool moment.

Tigranes Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Modding community couldn't do it for Oblivion AFAIK, so I'm not holding my breath in Skyrim. Yeah, it would be awesome to have someone attack you by levitating. E.g. in a defend-this-place-for-x-minutes kind of setting.

WDeranged Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 As much as I'd love levitation to return, modding it into Oblivion or Skyrim would break the game, you might as well just type noclip into the console

Gorgon Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 The way they handle maps and level design doesn't allow it, both for memory constraints and because it would make putting obstacles on the player's path more difficult if you can circumvent them and break the flow by levitating. It's a pity, I've been replaying Morrowind recently and levitating in Tel Fyr is a really great and subtle "setpiece" moment. I hope that doesn't mean you are effectively glued to the ground like in the Witcher series. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
WorstUsernameEver Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 I hope that doesn't mean you are effectively glued to the ground like in the Witcher series. ..what? No, in Skyrim you can jump.
Tigranes Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 You've always been able to jump. I mean, you have an Acrobatics skill... Or did they remove that now?

entrerix Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 there is no acrobatics skill anymore, running and jumping will be handled like in fallout new vegas or fallout 3 (at least, this was my impression) Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game.

HoonDing Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 MW3 comes out tomorrow for the entire world. Since 11-11-11 is a public holiday here, it's released on Thursday. But since I pre-ordered, I expect to get it on Wednesday. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Hurlshort Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 MW3 comes out tomorrow for the entire world. Since 11-11-11 is a public holiday here, it's released on Thursday. But since I pre-ordered, I expect to get it on Wednesday. The 11th is a federal holiday here in the US, but I still think it's coming out on Friday. It's actually an issue for me, I am going out of town Thursday and won't be back until late Sunday. I've never picked up a preorder that late, hopefully it's not a problem.
HoonDing Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Well, even if I get it earlier, it still unlocks on 11-11-11. But at least I can sniff the box until then. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Starwars Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 New trailer: Voices and characters still pretty damn iffy if you ask me but the world looks really nice. Will probably be fun to explore it. Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0
Slowtrain Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 The main narrative appears infantile but in a Bethesda game who cares. Beyond that everything looks fine. Voicework and animations are good enough. 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.
SadExchange Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 The main narrative appears infantile but in a Bethesda game who cares. Beyond that everything looks fine. Voicework and animations are good enough. I agree and expect preorders to be able to preload by tomorrow. Just need to get past the onslaught of folks who are downloading MW3 still.
Tale Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Preloading the very day before is a bit late. If it's not tonight, I don't expect it at all. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
WorstUsernameEver Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Morrowind's main narrative was hardly juvenile and had a solid metanarrative to go with it. I don't care about the main quest anyway I'll probably focus on the civil war quests immediately.
