SKYRIM!

[BoilerDown]

I hope its really something improved.

All the screenshots ive seen of the game look like Oblivion re-skinned and with a minimal graphic engine upgrade.

The quoted text could not be further from the truth.

The above text is a link.

Im excited for Skyrim, But im more excited for Bethesda to be done with Skyrim, So they can get to work on Fallout 4 

[jay]

[Tyrannis]

fallout 5??

New vegas isent fallout 4.


So the next fallout to be made will be Fallout 4, not 5.

Bethesda is my number one gaming company.


They make fantastic games,and always have.

Ya ain't played Bethesda til you played System Shock 1 on a VFX-1 VR Headset with Stereo 3D and HeadTracking (yes all that stuff in the mid-90's ).

Minimul graphic engine upgrade?  I don't know what trailers or screenshots you've seen but the graphics are hardly anything more than justa minimal upgrade. 

ack-ack

Im sorry but:

The graphics are upgraded from Oblivion's when it comes to their glossiness and crisp image quality which is completely expected of any game made today. Oblivion is what? 5 or 6 years old now.

Pay attention to the actual graphic objects in the game. The houses are the same, the NPCs use the same models (their skins are updated to new graphics), the voices are the same audio/acting quality as those found in oblivion/fallout2/etc: bland, empty, scripted.

Honestly, I think all they did was recycle the oblivion engine, upped its graphics crispness and 'modded' oblivion into skyrim. Thats how it looks and feels like.

Even the damn gameplay is the same. The same retarded raise-hand, glow-hand, lame spell cast animation.

I expected a new game not a rehash of an old one.

The background doesn't stop when you talk to NPCs

Amazon pre-order arrived 1.5 hours ago.  Installing it now.  But I've never had a Steam-required game before.  The installation is currently estimated for 3 hours, thanks to something its slowly downloading.  I've done some searching, and it looks like Steam is required to play, outside of downloading a crack.  I just hope its easy to completely unload Steam when I'm not playing Skyrim.  I'll allow Steam to exist while I'm playing Skyrim, but any other time its not allowed to run, or else I uninstall and look for alternative measures which I assume exist but can't be talked about here.

Also this better get fixed real damn fast, no excuse for such sloppiness:  http://forums.bethsoft.com/index.php?/topic/1257169-horizontal-vs-vertical-mouse-sensitivity

Been playing it since last night at midnight. 

Great so far.

Runs great on my PC at High settings and max draw distance. Game looks great, game plays great, only 4 hours into the game so far and I've already saw so much. Haven't had any issues except for the age old "moonwalking" NPCs. It's not as bad as in Oblivion or Fallout, but it's still there. A couple of clipping into walls but nothing major. Other than that, the game is a solid 9.5/10.

I can't wait till some of the mods come out. I expect and really want a realism mod like in previous Bethesda games. More damage, food, water, sleep. Worth the $60.

AWESOME game.

That game was awesome.. Creepy as hell, but awesome.

**Er NM.. i was thinking about System Shock 2

[PR3D4TOR]

System Shock 2 was truly awesome. Btw. the System Shock series was made by Looking Glass Studios, not Bethesda.

[BaDkaRmA158Th]

Thank you PR3D4TOR. 



But yes, the system shock series are fantastic games.

My god.. Skyrim's user interface is some of worst I've ever used, even MUDs have a better user interface. To get anywhere on the interface, you have to go through at least one unnecessary menu, like when opening inventory - for some reason you have to choose the category first. The skills screen is... well... massive with very little actual information on the screen, while it could be much more informative. The UI designer sure has gone great lenghts to make it a PROCESS to find what you need to know (or do).

I wonder how the modding community is going to adjust this, because this seems much more difficult than resizing the fonts that were too big in Oblivion.
