The Official Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Thread

[BlindSight]

Unless I hear it is much different and improved over Oblivion ( its popularity baffles me), do not want.

Fallout 3 had massive improvements over Oblivion, if TESV is only matching Fallout 3 then I'm happy. (I'm happy anyway I went all tingly when I saw the announcement). WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[TOM2x]

I'm quite sure the engine will be polished up to the current level of technology. When I first played the original, I was blown away at the scope of the world they created. The Story and characters were very cool (Even for those not familiar with the Elder scrolls universe). Many of the people I work with who had a PS3 at the time were all playing that game and talking about what things they did and what guilds they were leveling up in etc, etc. It was a loooong game too! I eventually closed all the gates and destroyed Mehrunes Dagon at the end though, Had that huge house with furniture and everything, and the Dragon Armor too! Man, I will say this though, some of the very busy battles were almost unplayable/unwinnable as there was just too much happaning on the screen and it started to stutter and slowdown sooo badly. But otherwise it was awesome. As someone else stated before, I don't know if I'll have the time available to go through Skyrim like I did with ES4, but I'll have fun trying, oh and don't forget that huge guidebook I'll have no choice but to buy alongside it!!

*marks calendar*

I am sooooooooo freaking excited!

[Roadside]

New console is essential in my opinion.

Fixed.

[ps3_spid3y]

It's gonna be on bethesda's new engine. I heard that they've been working on a new engine as long as ES V. So, no worries

[XMW]

I put over 100 hours in Oblivion, it's definitely in my top 3 favorite games of all time, and I can't wait for this one. I'm not sure what I would've liked more tough, a TES IV sequel or a brand new TES.. Either way, it's gonna be great and 2011 is going to be a fantastic -PS3- year.

Okay, now I'm waiting for Elder Scrolls V. This is GREAT news for me and for many!

[Firefox]

For sure! This is great news to me as well. I think the thread title should be updated to reflect this fact.

[AaronSOLDIER]

Hmmm new engine. I hope that it works with current gen consoles because the 720 and/or PS4 wont be out this time next year and it'll totally rape my PC.

[IDgilly]

I can not wait for a screenshot! I have faith in bethesda that this game will be as breathtaking as III snd IV when they were released. Need it yeasterday........

[Rapture]

Title and OP updated.

My faith in Bethesda was well placed.

[AaronSOLDIER]

Bit early but so was the U3 thread, so how about making this the official thread? Unless you're not feeling up to it Rapture, but you seem to be the biggest fan here.

[Rapture]

I just might do that.

[adz1992]

Please Bethesda, Console enabled modding!

[kupo]

I hoped and thought it was time for a new engine so I am really pumped for this now.

[IDgilly]

Cant wait until ign do a rewind theatre. See if i missed anything in the teaser. Showed loads in drskes deception teaser........

[Raiyuden]

I was always a HUGE fan of the Elder Scrolls Series and I honestly cannot wait for this game! The fact that their using a new engine is a winner for me and it really motivates me to get it on the first day!

The only thing I really hope is that they increase or keep the level cap the same as Oblivion and really improve the AI, even in FA3 or FANV you could simply stand on a rock and the AI wouldn't get you at all, unless like in FA3/NV they had a gun :/

[udontneed2know]

Oblivion started amazing but once you get further in and really dive into the main storyline the whole thing took a nosedive for me. Doing the exact same thing over and over and over again became annoying once your dealing with the oblivion gates. The immersion of the game was pretty fantastic, even though it was near impossible to be a good mage with the controller. Just too many options, you basically became a one hit wonder utilizing the same 4-5 spells over and over the whole game.

Most fun I had was being a Ranger. The bow was alot of fun, and changed the whole dynamic of the dungeons as you had to watch your distances and whatnot.

[Hedrush]

WTF a new ES, I missed this, but damn im happy. ES4 is probably one of the best games ive played, can`t wait for the sequel now.

[Fedos]

I didn't look at the trailer. I'm currently playing through Oblivion for the first time (about a hundred hours in) and I don't want to be spoiled. I'm having a blast! This series is amazing. After I complete this I'm thinking about going back and playing Morrowind.

You shouldve played it the other way around, many people find it hard to go from Oblivion to Morrowind.

I'm in a very similiar boat lol, I was VERY surprised I enjoyed Fallout 3 over Oblivion, on paper Oblivion has everything I prefer and yet once in game... eh, Oblivion did come out early in the generation, it's world, although empty was large and I guess pretty so with the added experience TES 5 should well and truly fix the problems

Yeah. I heard like that you can't fast travel for one, so I imagine that that could put a damper on my enjoyment. But I have for the most part been able to enjoy the older JRPGs, games that I have missed, even from the 16 bit eras, so maybe it won't bother me overly.
