Quanon Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 hehe agreed. Supposedly there are more voice actors this round (confirmed in one of the countless interviews/articles) but "how many" remains to be seen Well, I hope that means will meet more unique NPCs and Jordy Headsmen, having Breton Face A with hairstyle F, which looks much the same as Pete Woodcutter who lives in that last village I visisted, is a thing of the past. Both gave me a big important task, involving my uber quest to save the world I think it would be fun to have a party aswell to travel around with. Somehow Bethesda never added that to one of their games. the lonely trecking gets a bit tidious. I'd rather they keep conversations between NPCs to a minimum. Like it was in New Vegas. Much less repetition that way. Aye or make the conversations bizzarly hilarious like in the GTA games. The pedestrions where whack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChAiNz.2da Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I hope that regardless of the number of voice actors, we won't constantly hear something along the lines of "I saw some mudcrabs by the water recently. I steered clear of them. Awful creatures blah blah blah" IMHO, more particularly since it does seem like we'll be fighting giant Cliff Racers... Definitely... it was novel at first.. but after about a bajillion playthroughs, it was torture.. hehe I think it would be fun to have a party aswell to travel around with. Somehow Bethesda never added that to one of their games. the lonely trecking gets a bit tidious. Until Beth can master AI pathing, (or AI in general) I'd rather save my arrows for the enemy rather than my companion's back :¬: Note to the NPC's of Nirn, when I'm swinging a large sword.. please don't run in front of me to poke them with a dagger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ctrl Alt Del Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Oh man... I think I killed just about everyone at the great gate battle in oblivion forgot how bad that system was. Worse still in Oblivion than it was in Fallout because of the melee focus. It's even hard to not kill your horse with your battleaxe by mistake when you engage highwaymen.

ChAiNz.2da Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 New Gameplay Preview vid from G4. I didn't notice any new footage.. looks like it's pieced together from all the other stuff we've seen, but it summarizes a lot of the combat aspects. Nice vid if you're interested to see more. http://www.g4tv.com/videos/54388/the-elder-scrolls-5-skyrim-gameplay-preview/?quality=hd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrisG Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 The Mods for Oblvion allow you to have as many companions in your party as you want, i have had 28 in one adventure and it all worked out fine. Knights of the Nine has a large party and it works well too. So modding should be able to help a lot. And I do hope for more voices that would be nice.

mimartin Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Director comments on improved Character Voices. Also liked this photo of another playable race. Just hope they still have female bosmer as playable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkonium Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Just hope they still have female bosmer as playable. Why wouldn't they? They've never cut or genderlocked any races before. (In the main games at least). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimartin Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Why wouldn't they? They've never cut or genderlocked any races before. (In the main games at least). No clue, it is just my experience with DA2 that is still fresh in my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkonium Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 No clue, it is just my experience with DA2 that is still fresh in my head. 1. They have already said all 10 races from Morrowind and Oblivion (it was just 8 in Arena and Daggerfall) are playable. 2. Bethesda isn't BioWare, and Dovahkiin is much more blank slate than Hawke. 3. Hawke wasn't genderlocked. Even BioWare won't do that, even if it's a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimartin Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 3. Hawke wasn't genderlocked. Even BioWare won't do that, even if it's a good idea. Really? Are you sure about that? I never noticed. Really you must be fooling, you could play Hawke as a Male? Never said it was genderlocked (is that even a word), however, like I wrote, I was unable to play DA2 as a female elf. For that matter I was also unable to play ME or ME2 as a female elf. BioWare has a problem with elves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth333 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I've read somewhere that all the usual playable races are back. Edit: found something: http://www.gamemunition.com/news/elder-srolls-v-skyrim-combat-details-races-and-more/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure why to be honest - it's exactly the same demo they showed at E3, so nothing new was revealed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChAiNz.2da Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Eye candy article. Skyrim, You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby While it looked pretty amazing when first released, time has not been kind to certain visual aspects of Oblivion, the last game in the Elder Scrolls series. Especially its plastic-faced, potato-headed characters. source HQ Image Link Hehe, I remember the days of Morrowind and the "Better" series of mods Better Bodies, Better Heads, Better Clothes, Better Beast Races.. etc If Beth keeps making these type of improvements.. the only thing on Nexus (other than nekkid mods) will be house mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimartin Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I remember almost spending more time on Oblivion Character Creation (on the 360) as I did playing the main quest. Then once I got what I thought was acceptable character only to discover she looked hideous in game. So I'd spend another hour working on her before exiting the sewer. If Beth keeps making these type of improvements.. the only thing on Nexus (other than nekkid mods) will be house mods I'm sure the modders can skill improve on Beth's improved design.

DarthParametric Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 If Beth keeps making these type of improvements.. the only thing on Nexus (other than nekkid mods) will be house mods I doubt Bethesda (or any other dev for that matter) will ever release any game that can't be improved by mods in some way, especially when they cripple it for the lowest common denominator (i.e. consoles). Even without a toolset, you'd still get mods, as this site ably demonstrates.

I was browsing the forum, clicked on your link, then the neighbor rang at the door to discuss the installation of a fence...and this video started playing in his presence I guess he'll want a higher fence now! If Beth keeps making these type of improvements.. the only thing on Nexus (other than nekkid mods) will be house mods It looks good. Love the Argonian and the Khajit but wish we could see the feet too. The wood elf and the Breton (my two favorite races) look at bit too beefy though so I hope someone will make a "better" mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
