Elder Scrolls V: "Soon"

**ReluctantSamurai** · 01-13-2011, 14:13

then again morrowind had no MAP guide! you remember those atrocious directions sometimes it was nice i guess for the challenge but sometimes it was simply ridiculous man

Plug-ins....plug-ins.....plug-ins. There were a bunch of them that added all kinds of new faces, heads, hair-styles, jewelry, sexy clothes for the ladies...there was one for a zoom-able 3D map that had every single location (yes, every one of those useless egg-mines) marked. The Sorcerer's Place has pages and pages of them.........

i always chose the hllaruu house even though some others were better simply because it was realistically located.

After my third time through, I never bothered with any of the Great Houses. What do you get? A holding waaaaaay out in East Outer Podunk, where you still have to pay for services.....meh.....I'd rather have a nice pad in Balmora, another in Vivec, and one in Mournhold. Stay close to the merchants, trainers, and quest-givers. Besides, the most fun plug-in of all.......Killgores Emporium, allows you to pimp out your pad with all sorts of things including portraits for your walls, miniature toys of all the baddies found in the game, and a whole list of stuff too numerous to mention....

No mods on the Xbox.

**ReluctantSamurai** · 01-13-2011, 18:44

Oh yeah.....I forgot you poor console users don't get access to all the perks.....tsk, tsk........

**lars573** · 01-13-2011, 20:14

90% of them are crap anyway. So your not missing much.

**ReluctantSamurai** · 01-13-2011, 22:30

I suppose the old adage of 'not knocking it, until you've tried it' would apply

But I'm just teasing, of course

**Mailman653** · 01-13-2011, 22:36

First Major Details on Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

**Centurion1** · 01-13-2011, 22:39

ive used mods.....

i prefer oblivion on the xbox. vanilla as long as it isnt glitching is really enough for anyone to be honest you can make the game whatever you want.

**rajpoot** · 01-14-2011, 08:53

I cannot stop wondering what kind of mascot they will use to show the perks in the menu....I keep getting mental images of the Vault Boy in Daedric armour.

**rajpoot** · 01-19-2011, 06:08

GI article, Technology of Skyrim.

It also has one screenshot. Makes me fear my PC won't be able to handle it.

**Fragony** · 01-19-2011, 12:59

Screenshot looks really good, and not just from a technological point of view. I like the Viking vibe, obviously more primitive and savage. Going to be a much more interesting game than Oblivion

**Beskar** · 01-19-2011, 19:35

I got a feeling there might be flying mounts in this game.

**Fragony** · 01-20-2011, 11:58

Would certainly be a perfect fit for this setting

keep dreaming it would possibly break the game.

or even worse they might brng back cliffracers or something EGADS!

**Motep** · 01-28-2011, 01:45

Ahhh...cliffracers....

those were the days

**Togakure** · 01-28-2011, 01:47

One of my favorite things to do in Morrowind was to fly all over the place, with constant effect Levitation and constant effect Invisibility. I used this to get around and explore, but didn't exploit it much otherwise, to keep things interesting. I really missed being able to do this in Oblivion, and hope to see a return to open cities and flying in the next release. I'm not holding my breath, but it would be cool in my book.

Nothing like flying right up to hovering cliff racers after enchanting the necessary items, and having them completely oblivious to me. I must admit, after all the torment they put me through up to that point, I did enjoy taking them out when they couldn't see me or strike back.

**ReluctantSamurai** · 01-28-2011, 02:22

Exactly the thing I did...except rather than using invisibility, I had a Daedric Tower Shield enchanted with 45pts of Sanctuary, which made it near impossible for them to hit me. I'd LMAO when flying up in the Red Mountain area where they seem to be the worst, and let six or eight of them collect around me before I started killing them...better than chasing them down individually.

I've always thought that the devs should have made it a quest...seeing as how there are a bazillion of them, anyways, to hunt down the local cliff racers nests...perhaps have a queen ala Aliens. It'd give a good outlet for all those millions of Morrowind players who love to hate those damn things.

The closed up cities in Oblivion were a bid to keep the game more stable. But it was possible to have constant effect 100% chameleon. And go around killing and stealing at will.

**Togakure** · 01-28-2011, 21:48

@ReluctantSamurai: I loved that about Morrowind--it was so open and full of possibilities that you could be very creative in how you dealt with various challenges. The replay value was great in this respect.

It's the flying I really miss. I've read several articles on why the developers chose to contain the cities for reasons of stability. Just recently I read that there is a mod that allows for open cities, but I have not tried it.

When I first discovered 100% Chameleon I used it for a short while, but it ruined the fun as nothing but inanimate traps could detect and therefore react to me. Now when I fire up Oblivion to have a run, I don't use Chameleon at all, limiting myself to Sneak and occasionally, short Invisibility spells (<= 15 seconds). I've found it to be a lot more fun.

I'd like to see them revive flying while maintaining stability, and eliminate things like the near invulnerability that 100% Chameleon provides, but that's just me. I will most likely find ways to enjoy the game no matter what they deliver.

Skyrim: New Screen shots

**Tuuvi** · 02-12-2011, 05:48

Those screens look cool thanks for sharing.

**Justiciar** · 02-12-2011, 08:21

Thanks for that, Mailman. Few I hadn't seen there.

I'm sure a few of you will have seen this, but it's still worth sharing; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9eG...eature=feedlik

That's really funny!

I'm sure many people reacted pretty much in the same way...

**Mailman653** · 02-22-2011, 21:04

Bethesda games for life! But....

**rajpoot** · 02-23-2011, 10:50

I cannot help but agree with Sharkey....I mean the name sounded like a dish-washing detergent solution to me when I first watched the trailer (believe it or not, there actually is a 'Nova Kleen' detergent)...Skyrim sounds better...and cooler.

**TinCow** · 02-23-2011, 19:26

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news...Naming-Contest

An update to the Bethesda blog reveals that if anyone is crazy/serious enough to name a child "Dovahkiin," which means "Dragonborn" in Skyrim's dragon alphabet, and that child is born on November 11, 2011 (Skyrim's release date), the family will receive a Steam key that unlocks every ZeniMax/Bethesda game ever. That means past, present, and future.

You're all late! Get with the copulating if you want any chance of hitting the 11/11/11 date!

**Krusader** · 02-24-2011, 20:13

Just in case some of you missed the first Skyrim ingame trailer

**rajpoot** · 02-25-2011, 08:03

That's a nice video....it seems that the whole character thing will be a lot more realistic....the movement looks better...his actions, like when he nearly falls off the cliff......No more sliding zombies.

**Kekvit Irae** · 03-02-2011, 22:30

If only Hasbro and Bethesda teamed up...

*sigh* I can dream, I guess. That would be one game I would buy the horse armor DLC for.

**Scienter** · 03-09-2011, 18:51

I loved Morrowind and played it to death. I enjoyed Oblivion, but thought that the cities were too similar. Hopefully, Skyrim will have the variety in architecture/people/etc that Morrowind did. The trailers look awesome.
