I'm watching it again, because it LOOKS SO GOOD!

BETHESDA/ZENIMAX I KNOW YOU ARE READING THESE FORUMS LET US WATCH VIDEOS ABOUT YOUR GAME GOD DAMNIT! WHY KILL HYPE!?

Don't worry, the floodgates open tomorrow. On top of Giant Bomb's marathon, Gamespot, IGN, and Gametrailers are doing marathons as well.

 

[syllogism]

And this has been confirmed to work then?

It has previously worked with other games, yes

 

[Blue Ninja]

We have to deal with American spelling, and now American voice acting as well? That's seriously disappointing.

What?

 

[cyberheater]

Fantastic. Worth the couple of $ for the VPN service.

 

[Midou]

These last couple of days feel like all time has stopped.

Dat hype.

You could decide to only play games from... wherever it is you are from.

 

[Dr. Ecco]

Today my girlfriend solved for me the first character problem. I showed her the different races, explained her the different playstyles and decided that I play a blonde, half-face painted breton wielding a hand axe and some kind of magic. She is awesome.

My second character though will be a bow-and-alchemy khajiit. I love those adorable freaks.

 

[rasberryjam]

As soon as modding tools are available, I need to create a custom set of blue iron armor and just use a fireball spell in my right hand.

Fucking Nordic Megaman.

So you expected completely english va and spelling from an american product? That's just stupid.

You do realize Bethesda is an American company?

What's your problem anyway...

LOL

 

[Meantime]

Yeah, there were 8 slots for keybinding spells (or items). Pretty sure you can still do that in Skyrim since in the first gameplay video there's switching between weapons and spells without accessing even the favorites menu.

I might be missing something but it seems a lot more limited than it was in Oblivion. You can set up two 'shortcuts' by holding left or right on the d-pad when the quick select menu is open to assign a weapon/spell to slot 1 or 2. After that, you can tap left or right on the d-pad to switch weapons/spells. Only problem is that I don't see a way to determine which hand the shortcut refers to, and as a result it's really, really awkward to use. I'm hoping I'm just being stupid and missing something obvious, because it doesn't seem to work very well at all.

 

[blahblah...blah]

And this has been confirmed to work then?

Worked for DE:HR, BF3, etc. It'll work for this, and it means unlocking it over 12 hours in advance for me.

 

[TheNamelessOne]

Oh man this made me remember Gertsmann's Oblivion marathon on Gamespot when that game came out!

 

[Blue Ninja]

Damn, I'm gonna need to buy a house soon. Half my inventory consists of books I want in my library. :lol

 

[Zeliard]

That was Kasavin wasn't it?

 

[cyberheater]

What I don't understand is if you can't activate the PC version until Steam says so. Why can't you buy the PC version early. It makes no sense.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Is it weird for me to be excited to rummage through bookshelves and collect all books I can find? I think this time around ill actually read all the books in a game like this...

 

[HildyB]

Also, I've encountered a really shitty and annoying glitch - it doesn't affect gameplay at all, but is still pretty irritating;

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v224/Bootaaay/Blah/DSC_0340.jpg

Yes, that's an arrow stuck in my guy's neck, and yes I've tried everything I can think of to get rid of it

My buddy had a Brahmen (cow thingy) in Fallout 3 attached to his forehead for his playthrough... try targeting through a cow...

 

[Echoplx]

It's why devs like Steamworks, if they could do the same for consoles they would.

 

[Woorloog]

Damn... i had a Nord warrior character planned. Suddenly i want to make a mage-fighter. Dammit.
Oh and an archer character.

 

[Midou]

Kasavin is doing a 12 hour marathon tomorrow morning, 8 AM pacific, 11 AM EST on giantbomb, I will watch some of it. Greg is a pretty cool dude.

 

[pakkit]

Can you stroll around the open-world relatively early without fear of getting destroyed, or is it similar to Dark Souls where each step is a roll of the dice? I loved that I could take Red Dead Redemption at my pace, except for the occasional psychotic, horse-eating cougar.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

There's no way I'm coming into this thread tomorrow. I might have to just go do something tomorrow instead of be anywhere near the internet until 9 PM.

It's a lot like RDR, though there will be a few more powerful enemies waiting to make your life hell.

The former. That said, dragons can attack you anywhere. And if you go off roads, prepare to fight.

Scaling is similar to Fallout 3 so you can come across places that are at a higher level range than you are.

You'll be able to take your time and enjoy your surroundings.

Though I believe it was Timber who said he got wrecked (aka 1 shotted) by a random bandit out in the wilderness so there is some element of danger at least.

To be fair, there are a lot of people who have already played a lot, and people in this topic who have been watching streams. People are pretty good about marking spoilers, usually.

What's wore is that GB aren't the only ones doing marathons. IGN, GS, and GT are also doing marathons tomorrow.

 

[Blue Ninja]

Basically, keep a lot of saves.

Skill tree guide here to kill time.

What does it mean when it says for example "Requires:50" for a particular perk? Does that mean I need to have at least a level 50 in that skill to obtain that perk?

Yeah, it's the skill level requirement.

 

[Zeliard]

I bet none of the released vids tomorrow from major sites will be as effective as a showcase for the game as that dragon vid from earlier.

 

[Aurora]

You do realize Bethesda is an American company?

What's your problem anyway...

Well, I've come to accept American spelling in games for a long time now, but American voice acting in a fantasy game? I mean, can you imagine watching LotR with American accents? Plus, Oblivion had predominantly British voice acting. I know I'm not the only who is bothered by this.

 

[Treemonkeys]

Can you get every perk for a skill or do you have to choose between some?

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Remember, Bethesda has absolutely no control over their legal department. It's like a zoo over there, the devs are at complete mercy of the legal team who roam the wasteland in salvaged armor.

It's probably some young paralegal who's in Zenimax's legal group. His/Her only job it do hunt down all videos & streams posted before 11-11-11. I imagine they hate their own job.

 

[pakkit]

Basically, keep a lot of saves.

Easy enough, I grew up on PC gaming, so I compulsively save no matter the game.

If my job was to look for vids on youtube all day, I think I'd get by just fine.

 

[The perfect Dark]

Oh god I'm so in love with this game. 4 hours played, still level 5, 20 side-quests open. It's the same feeling I had while I played Oblivion...I don't want to "leave" this world.

Stabbing the F5 key like it owes you money is the way to do it.

I'll check out a few reviews and stay in this thread. I'm not touching that stream.

I've heard British and other non-american accents in the trailers.

Also, some actors, like Michael Hogan, are Canadian, and still awesome.

 

[blame space]

does anyone want to buy some of my blood or plasma or organs so I can buy this game

 

[Snuggles]

I'm definitely taking advantage of that GreenMan deal. Sometimes procrastination pays off, lol.

2.8 mb patch just downloaded for skyrim on steam.

I've got a Kyessel BR-343 Plasma Injection Inter-Star Engine that I could use some cheap high-quality fuel for. How much do you got?

What organs are you selling?
