The Elder Scrolls - Megathread - Skyrim is 57 days away!

I hope that essential characters can die, like in Morrowind.

Oh yes, and from this interview, relationships and marriage will be possible.

Yes! Bar fights! That will be fun! :D
I can imagine just walking into a bar and punching someone and then the whole bar goes crazy. :D

[Bisjac]

prob been said already

ESV is on steam!!!!!!!!

:D

That'd be potentially game-breaking. Like if I walked up to Martin in Kvatch and put an arrow through his eye. Imagine what kind of chaos that'd cause.

[Grumpy]

but then you dont get the canvas map :/

[DracoSoul]

The enemies and loot are based on the “encounter zone” you’re in, so it could be higher or lower level than your current level.

DAY 1 PURCHASE

at quakecon they are allowing a select few to play and it is being covered

It worked in Morrowind.

the coverage is popping up everywhere now they said that the 13 guys that tested, not one of them winded up taking the same path

That was a rather disappointing article.
Sure it talked about some features that I liked, like turning the 3D items in the inventory for clues to a puzzle, but other than that it was basically the same as Todd Howard's E3 presentation. Guess they don't want to reveal too much.

Oh and I hope they don't do that stuff in Fallout 3 where the NPC shopkeepers can run out of money, because in Fallout 3 the only way to get their money up is to buy, and money is scarce to say the least in that game.

Maybe Radiant Story could make people shop and spend their own pile of gold at a shop to raise the income.

you're playing Fallout wrong if you're not rolling in caps within the first hour.

[Man 2]

I'm playing on the 360, I can't cheat for caps.

[DracoSoul]

>implying that everyone who gets a lot of caps easily is cheating

noob

[heedicalking]

tomorrow is when (i think) the public at quakecon gets to try it out, so expect lots more confirmed features. random confirmed crap:

you can kill bunnies
3d puzzles out of the main quest are more common than rare
character creator confirmed to actually work well
torches can be used as weapons
"hit detection, sound weight, all feel great compared to oblivion"
the caves sound 100x times more well designed. multi tiered floors with waterfalls flowing down them
you can request bards to play songs for you in taverns
you can store points when you level up instead of spending them

Why is there a megathread the game isn't out yet. Unless you're going to be like Niven with his Portal 2 thing, don't start threads you know will die.
