TES 5 Skyrim

Oblivion was the first game that I ever owned on PS3 & I still enjoy it to this day. Skyrim is an eternity away, but I'm definitely getting it on day one.

Oh yeah bro, Bethesda does have an amazingly creative talent for sculpting massively lush & beautiful worlds. But their post-launch support is really in the $hitter (read: patches for glitches & bugs). Plus M$ has its co¢k shoved so deep down Bethesda's throat that they literally $hit green turds. But even with these glaring, obvious faults, they're still one of my favorite developers. Right up there with Square, Insomniac & Naughty Dog.

The latest edition of Game Informer magazine came out and they feature the new Skyrim on the cover! Some of the new things:

1.  You will be able to pick the perks you want for your character, just like you do in Fallout.

 

2.  Your character will not be able to back up from an enemy as quickly as you could in Oblivion.  I didn't realize it but apparently your character, when backing away from an enemy, would go just as fast as when moving forward.... they wanted it to be a little more realistic in that way.

 

3.  Now, when you talk to characters in the game, "...Conversations no longer occur in a zoomed-in view of the person you are speaking to....".  The characters will continue to do whatever they are doing and might look at you occasionally.

 

They also got alot more voice actors to play the different parts so you don't  hear the same person's voice coming from multiple characters like you did in Oblivion.

 

4.  In the cities and towns you visit, there will be alot more activities to do... for example,  forging and carving new weapons, farming, mining, woodcutting and cooking!!!! 

 

5.  One of the biggest changes to the combat is, ".....Every weapon or spell in the game can be equipped to either hand at any time, leading to limitless combinations of attack options.  Dual wield two of the same weapon, or place a dagger in one hand and a mace in the other.  .....Set two completely different spells in either hand, or put the same spell in both hands, letting you combine the spell to extraordinary effect!...."

 

6.  You will be able to level up your character past level 50 it will just be slower.

 

I'll reread the article and add anything else that looks exciting!

Thanks!  Below is a link to Game Informer's site which features a FAR more detailed look at the new Skyrim.

Agreed. i wonder if you're going to be able to create your character on this one to, they didn't show much like SYZYGY said. but i still play oblivion elders scrolls but from the looks of this one; if it has to do with skyrim then it's probably going to evolve around Nords like "Nords of skyrim" as you hear alot about throughout oblivion. but i think it will still be a great game to get.

That would be awesome! bout the create a character mode but as for it taken place there... i don't know lol but even still it will probably still be a fun game. elder scrolls was and still is awesome to.

Holy cow, that IS amazing! Nice to see that Dragon Shout in the footage and gameplay graphics look awesome.
