The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

[Ren_of_Heavens]

New Skyrim details from OXM

When the author was fighting a group of 3 bandits after defeating the first 2 the third tried to run away.

Necromancers can resurrect chickens and harvest their eggs.

He also states that while fighting a necromancer "he summons a khajiit warrior." He does not say whether he is resurrecting this warrior or if he actually conjured him?

When you level up you get 10 points to add to health, magicka, or stamina.

Stolen horses run away.

Spriggans can heal themselves after you think they are dead (fetal position).

A town guard stops the player at a gate of a town and makes him pay for the horse he stole earlier.

Bandits roll a boulder at the player from a bridge.

1. The first is of a dragon in flight shooting flames at the player. The player is shooting an arrow at the dragon. The article points out the scale of the dragon saying that it dwarfs the buildings that are underneath the dragon.

2. Shows the player using alchemy equipment from the 3rd person perspective. in the device is a green liquid and gas. The player is hunched over a mortar and pestal. He is wearing a blue/purple robe and a greyish hood which drapes over his shoulders and back a bit.

3. The third is of a female player in the horned helmet and hide(?) armor. She is in a camp of some sort looks like it has a watch tower made of logs.

4. Next is a small screen shot of the lockpicking mini game. looks like a skyrim themed version of the fallout lockpick game (not new).

5. We see what looks like the player with a companion in a partially flooded dungeon, they are approaching a skeleton that is shackled to a post with water pouring down over him.

6. Shows a guard with a torch and a full face helmet.

7. Shows a player dual casting a fire spell in a robe and hood.

8. Shows an awesome shot of the night sky with the northern lights.

9. Player shooting a bear with an enchanted glowing bow (this looks really cool).

10. Giant Mudcrab, looks freaking huge.

11. A really good looking female npc.

NPC's properly react when you do an action; swinging your sword around, breaking items in a house, stealing items etc

Dragons

There are different types of Dragons
Defeating dragons will be the key to unlocking many of the Dragon Shouts.
Dragons you must battle can be grounded by heavily damaging their wings, preventing them from taking flight; expect a big landing if you drop them out of the sky, however!
Skyrim's dragons are said to be reminiscent of dinosaurs as envisioned in the Jurassic Park motion pictures
You cannot fly dragons
Some dragons are scripted in to the story and others can be randomly found
There won't be a finite amount of dragons in the game, to give the impression that you cannot wipe the dragons out over the course of the quest


Character, Leveling and Stats
10 playable races
Character customization upon creation
Beards!
Class selection has been dropped; your class is determined by how you play (weapons used, spells used)
Mysticism, Acrobatics and Athletics skills cut

No birth signs
You gain a perk every level, similar to Fallout 3/New Vegas
Soft level cap at 50; you may still level up farther but you gain no benefits
Faster leveling than Oblivion
5 magic schools; Destruction, Alteration, Conjuration, Restoration, Illusion
280 Perks; nevertheless due to the "soft" level cap, it will not be possible to ever gain all the Perks on a single character
Players can get characters to sprint by holding down a button, this decreases Stamina
Running backwards results in decreased speed; you wont be able to run away from enemies this way
One crafting skill per archetype; Warrior: Smithing, Mage: Enchanting, Thief: Alchemy
3 attributes; Health, Magicka, Stamina


GUI
HUD-free first person view
Improved camera for third person

Quests are dynamically chosen by the Radiant Story system and are also based on how you've been playing your character; every play through will be different
NPCs which initiate and participate in certain quests may also change based on their relationship with the player character
Some quests will naturally involve defeating dragons
Clues to completing some quests can sometimes be visually represented on the items themselves in your inventory

το οτι θα εχει λαθη αυτο εξυπακουεται , ποιο open world game στο παρελθον τετοιας εκτασης δεν ειχε αλλωστε, το σημαντικο ειναι αυτο που ειπες να διορθωθουν καποιοι κουραστικοι μηχανισμοι απο το oblivion, ολα τα υπολοιπα διορθωνονται με patches

[Ren_of_Heavens]

Ότι το Skyrim όταν κυκλοφορήσει θα απαρτίζεται από λάθη αυτό είναι το μόνο σίγουρο. Το ευτύχημα είναι ότι η Bethesda δείχνει να έχει λάβει πολύ σοβαρά τα παράπονα των παικτών και έχει διορθώσει σωρεία κουραστικών μηχανισμών που ταλάνιζαν το Oblivion. Το Skyrim όπως και να το κάνουμε είναι από τα παιχνίδια που τα τουμπανιάζουν με περιεχόμενο και με την έκταση που έχει ο κόσμος του είναι λογικό να υπάρχουν πολλές ατέλειες. Από κάτι Dragon Age 2 που η επανάληψη των χώρων και η ανισορροπία των μαχών του για τέτοιους είδους τίτλο είναι καθημερινό φαινόμενο και στα δικά μου μάτια δείχνει απαράδεκτο, η προσέγγιση της Bethesda με το Skyrim φαίνεται τλχ. 2 κλάσσεις ανώτερη.

Titus το Risen τα σπάει άσχημα. Το 2 θα προκαλέσει σεισμικές δονήσεις.

[Ramparter]

Το dungeon crawling στο Oblivion ηταν μαπα, απλα χαιρομαι οτι στο Skyrim μιλανε για λιγοτερα μεν αλλα με πολυ μεγαλυτερη ποικιλια dungeons.

[BigBOSS]

Όσοι αρέσκονται στο dungeon crawling και την αχανή εξερεύνηση βρήκαν το Θεό τους

είπες την μαγική λέξη

[Loggo]

Ε καλά, προφανώς, άλλο single άλλο MMO.

[Vaynard]

Στο να προσφέρει δηλαδή εξερεύνηση και περιπλάνηση στις αχανείς εκτάσεις του, πιθανότατα, καλύτερου και πληρέστερου fantasy κόσμου που αποτυπώθηκε ποτέ σε videogame.

φωναξε κανεις το morrowind?

αυτος ο τιτλος δικαιωματικα θα μπορουσε να ανηκει ευκολα σε καποιο mmorpg που βρισκεται πολλα χρονια στη πιατσα με πολλα expansions και extra content , πχ WoW, βεβαια για single player βαζει σιγουρα σοβαρη υποψηφιοτητα το skyrim

[Loggo]

Νομίζω πάντως ότι κάποιες παραδοσιακές αδυναμίες που χαρακτηρίζουν τους τίτλους της Bethesda, σε μεγαλύτερο ή μικρότερο βαθμό, δε θα λείπουν ούτε από το Skyrim. Ομολογώ ότι θα μου προξενούσε εντύπωση αν όλα ήταν άψογα και δε κρύβω ότι αυτό που περιμένω δεν είναι τόσο την εξάλειψη κάθε κλασικής αδυναμίας, όσο μια σημαντική πρόοδο σε σχέση με τους προηγούμενους τίτλους.

Όπως και να χει πάντως, το μεγαλύτερο μέρος της ουσίας του Skyrim θα βρίσκεται ακριβώς σ’ αυτό που ανέφερες. Στο να προσφέρει δηλαδή εξερεύνηση και περιπλάνηση στις αχανείς εκτάσεις του, πιθανότατα, καλύτερου και πληρέστερου fantasy κόσμου που αποτυπώθηκε ποτέ σε videogame.

ε και στην τελικη δεν βλεπω κανα first person medieval rpg με καλυτερο combat system εκει εξω, βλεπετε εσεις μηπως??

To Risen 2 είναι πολύ σοβαρός υποψήφιος, κι έχει και πειρατές

Πέρα από την πλάκα, εξακολουθώ να είμαι ΤΡΟΜΕΡΑ δύσπιστος για τον τίτλο. Στα τρέιλερ και τα βίντεο όλα φαίνονται καλά μα τα παιχνίδια της Bethesda δείχνουν τις αδυναμίες τους σε μήκος χρόνου και συνήθως αποδεικνύονται σοβαρές. Όσοι αρέσκονται στο dungeon crawling και την αχανή εξερεύνηση βρήκαν το Θεό τους, σίγουρα, αλλά για μένα προσωπικά δε ξέρω, κρατάω μικρό καλάθι.

[Vaynard]

πολυ καλυτερο animation απο τον προκατοχο του, death sequences, dual wield που προσθετει νεες κινησεις, σιγουρα θα εχει και αλλους μηχανισμους να ξεκλιδωνεις με τα skills , ε και στην τελικη δεν βλεπω κανα first person medieval rpg με καλυτερο combat system εκει εξω, βλεπετε εσεις μηπως??

το ost, η ατμοσφαιρα , η εκταση του κοσμου ,το art design το πολυ βελτιωμενα γραφικα και animation θα ειναι μερικα απο τα δυνατα του στοιχεια σιγουρα, εγω να πω την αληθεια εμεινα ικανοποιημενος απο το συγκεκριμενο demo , well αναμενουμε!!!

[BigBOSS]

πορώθηκα άσχημα

απλά δεν υπάρχει το Skyrim

το main theme

[Loggo]

Δε θα το έλεγα μάπα αλλά, ναι, μάλλον δε θα είναι το δυνατότερο σημείο του τίτλου. Όπως και να χει, όσον αφορά το dual-wielding τουλάχιστον, δηλώνω fan.

[ChrisTop]

Λίγο μάπα φαίνεται το Battle System. Κατά τα άλλα ενδιαφέρον.
