 Pete Hines Interview



Good interview, thanks for the link. The best part, in my opinion, was this quote:

"We don't worry about trying to change the type of game we are making to appeal to a wider audience. We just focus on making the best game possible and feel like that audience will continue to come and continue to get bigger."

That's how you run a franchise and maintain it! Sure there are changes between titles, but they tend to be small ones and the feel of the games are similar in their function and freedoms. Image IPB



I've seen people on Youtube and the site that have went ape**** over that remark and trash the game at every point.


Yeah....but then again....according to youtube 90% of the population wants to lynch blacks.

Lol I wouldn't be laughing if it wasn't true. (Not that thats true, just thats on youtube alot)

That was quite epic. The dragon roar was great.

Decent trailer. Nothing special, but interesting. Original gameplay trailer is leagues better and a superb trailer...the ending when the soft trumpet plays and reveals "The Elder Scrolls V" simultaneously gives me goosebumps.

Interesting enough but most live-action video game trailers don't really do it for me. Vastly prefer the original gameplay trailer.

There was some like half-hour play that they did at some event. I didn't see all of the vid, but it looked pretty awesome.

The original gameplay trailer was one of those lightning-in-a-bottle cases of a flawless trailer.

Pretty hard to follow that up with a second act, but this live action TV spot is fantastic IMO. Yes, it's odd that the villagers store a bucket of oil next to a fire; however, this trailer does an excellent job of telling an epic story within 30 seconds.

Maybe they were planning to have the dragon set everything on fire and then for whatever reason the CGI fire-breathing wasn't working so they had to insert a shot of someone spilling the oil.

The production design and art direction is fantastically detailed. The casting was perfect. Great choice for the actor portraying kid in the opening shot who sees a dragon in the sky.

The epic imagery ties in very well to the iconic Dovahkiin on all the key art:

People who might not remember skyrim will see this and make a connection with the posters and POS displays in store.

Hey now, I happen to keep a bucket of hot oil next to me at every fire. So I can splash it on anyone caught cheating at shadow puppets.

Maybe the dragon set a person on fire and they had to replace it with the oil bucket shot to satisfy the ratings board.

About the Stormcloaks vs Battle-Born deal, I suppose you'll have to make a choice ultimately, but I wonder if initially you can join both factions, like you can in Dragon Age in the Belhen vs Harrowmont argument ; it would be nice to be able to infiltrate a faction and betray it, or simply change your mind about it.

That's not an oil bucket, that's a bucket of super-proofed mead near the fire! And since they're all drunk in the village, no one thought twice of putting it near the fire and it's also easy to knock it over (when drunk).

I prefer game footage as well, but I've seen plenty of that so far and at least the live action teaser was tastefully done and matched the art direction of the game (something which most live action trailers fail at miserably).

Has anybody else written the background story for their Dovahkiin? I spent all of last week doing so myself, and just finished part 1 of my characters history. If anyone is interested I will post the story (at least the first chapter), but I warn you - it is incredibly long. =p

I only have a Core 2 Duo 3.16GHz. I think I'll be ok though, since that's paired with an AMD 6950. I should be hitting High or maybe even Ultra.

The same specs as The Witcher 2, for a console port? Seems like BS, to be honest. PCs that can run Witcher 2 well on low should run Skyrim well on medium to high.

That is not the same specs as Witcher 2.

Here's an article from Gamespy: http://pc.gamespy.co.../1210641p1.html

Apparently, the recommended specs will get you playing on High, but not Ultra. That's a step up from The Witcher actually, I meet the recommended requirements for The Witcher 2 and anything other than Medium without tweaks, makes the game slow down for me.

And who says it's a console port?
