So this is pretty.

Well yes, that's... umm... yeah... 

Not going to bother looking for proper words to describe this awesomeness, I'm speechless.


...though even the author admits that he uses 100 mods and pretty much each shot is taken with a different set.... and with max grass and such even he gets several frames per second... And warns that with just the mods he lists, you won't be able to achieve quite THAT. So I can consolate myself that it's probably not really playable this way.

But..... wow.

I wonder if 30 years from now people will look back at Skyrim like we look back at like the Atari 2600.

A guy that works in the Marketing department where I work told me over a beer last night that he just bought Skyrim. Apparently, after getting out of Helgen, he just started hoofing it across the map, because he didn't know what to do. He ended up in Solitude. He didn't stop to explore any ruins, caves, anything; just kept walking/running until he got to the capital. I laughed.

I wondered about that, when informed by our rescuers of heading towards their respective HQ's. But to get there unscathed and on foot is rather surprising. Good gaming!

Graphically, yes.

If the consistant trend of visual improvement continues, like it has for the past 30 years, as crazy as it sounds, we'll be looking back at screenshoots of Skyrim's lush and breath-taking environments and saying stuff like  "ew....  how could we have  ever thought that looked good!?"  And our kids/grandkids will say: "yuck, I just can't get myself to play that game.  Hurts my eyes!"

If  the same sort of games are still  being made 30 years from now  (big IF, btw), look for them to be indistinguishable  from real life in visual quality.   We won't  be talking in  tech-terminology like  "high resolution", and "textures", as such terms will be redundant and obsolete. The industry will simply use words like "perfect", "real", and "actual".  Graphic quality will be defined by  "mega-pixels".... like camera  photos 

I'll leave it to your imagination how Nude mods will look  lol.

You know, looking at those shots, doesn't that leave you thinking, isn't that pretty much how next gen games will look like? Wich means I gonna have a lot of upgrading to do.

I already do. Skyrim isn't a good looking game. I wonder how CDPR's sandbox will look.

Ooops.

I only shouted one word of become etheral...while jumping off a cliff.
"I BELIEVE I CAN FL-OH CRAP!!!!!"

That just goes to show you,you need to be careful when jumping off cliffs.,

[happy_daiz]

^ Hehe, oops. I hate it when I forget to change my selected shout back to what it was, and find myself Whirlwind Sprinting right into a dragon's face. /facepalm

Well, assuming he's not much of a gamer, I'm actually surprised he made it.  By all rights he probably should've died a horrible death several times over.  So...yay for the new guy....oh, who now needs to make it back to Whiterun!

[happy_daiz]

^ He probably died several horrible deaths. I thought his lack of detail was a bit questionable, but the story was a good one.

I can see how people wouldn't know what to do in the beginning, though. Both Hadvar and Ralof can throw you off with the " I think we should part ways" line.

My first open-world game was Oblivion, and emerging from the sewers was my wth moment. I did know enough to check my quest log, but quickly realized I probably wouldn't make that distance at such a low level. Then behold, I looked over my shoulder and there was the Imperial City. I just headed that way, and hung out there for a while learning the system, and, of course, joining the arena! It did cross my mind to just bull my way cross country coming out of the sewers, but being such a noob, cooler heads did prevail.

[Dutchess]

Hmm, even when I wander off and explore the area after Helgen a bit, I always end up in Riverwood rather quickly. The only accessible road in hat part leads there.

[Barbarossa2010]

Yeah, I was thinking that too. Really no way to miss Riverwood. I think the very next thing I did after escaping Helgen was to traipse into Riverwood and ended up talking to Lucan and Camilla (since my first instinct is to find a merchant), which led almost immediately to clearing out Bleak Falls Barrow. The die was cast at that point.

[happy_daiz]

You could bypass it by taking the road right before the Guardian Stones, and head down towards Falkreath / Lake Illinata; other than that, I'm not sure how you could miss Riverwood. Maybe he ran through and didn't stop; beats me. He was probably lying, anyway.

Mine was Fallout 3, and I was so determined to find James, I kept trying to charge into the DC ruins with a baseball bat and a 10mm pistol.  That went well. 

In Oblivion I did head in the general direction of the monastery.  I always like the MQ in Bethesda games, unlike many people.  Martin Septim, the only imperial worth my time. 

[miltos33]

My first sandbox rpg was Morrowind. I look forward to the release of Dragonborn for the PC so I can return to Solstheim after all this time.

This is pretty good cosplay: http://www.kotaku.co...ted-just-right/

But I wish there would be more (or rather, any) Njada Stonearm cosplay.

Yeah Fallout more than any other game imo, is absolutely unforgiving to the low-level PC.  The game is perfectly designed to give you a small safe haven, to get your bearings and add a level or two. I just got a mental re-picture of me swinging a baseball bat at a wild dog, and him taking my health to nearly nothing as I only landed only every 4th or 5th blow, and the little bastard nearly prevailing.  Don't even know how you made it to the river at that level and armed like a veritable swaddling babe!

But this  can't be possible.  I was told that you  simply can't cosplay  NPCs unless they have static, unremovable, outfits.

I'm so confused.

Iconic is the word you're looking for.

  Still,  as far as "trolling", it's an ameteur effort.  Let me show you how to do it right.

Looking at those achievements, I can hear the weeping and gnashing of whiners' teeth now. "I have to ride 5 dragons to get the achievement, I only thought we had to do it once, waaaaah!"

Sic the sweet troll on them.

Are you surprized? it makes  total sense, from a marketing perspective, to have a meaningless, acheivement-goal for a cartoonish feature.   The two  concepts  (hi-ho-silver dragon riding  -and-  Look at how  cool I am, I got an achievement) appeal to the exact same type of gamer:   The type who plays games in order to "accomplish" trophies to wow his buddies on Steam and Xbox live.  Of course that type of gamer  is going to want  to do "kapow!" stuff that makes him feel like a god, and then brag about it  online.     Stuff like  riding  firebreathing  dragons  and  other such overpowered flashiness  that comes with that.

PS:  Didn't me and you have a long, drawn out debate  a while back about High Fantasy vs. Political  in RPGs?  And didn't   you say you much prefer the latter?  Well, there you go.  The opposite of your preference:    You get to ride around  on dragons.  It doesn't get any more High fantasy than that.    Enjoy.

How is that any more cartoonish then being able to just hack away at a dragon with a sword/mace/axe till it dies and not just get turned into bbq by said dragon or eaten.

Not to take away from her marvellous sideboob achievement, but that's the derpiest dragon I ever did see.
