Oh, and I found some Skyrim music.


The music is just so amazingly atmospheric and beautiful.

I can just picture trudging around some frozen mountain, snow blowing about with the northern lights up in the sky with this song playing.

:happy:


Perfect music for an open-world game, seemingly without focus, ethereal, distant. It reminds me of hiking at night in my native state, surrounded by rocky peaks and the jutting spine of pine trees lining the horizon. I get cold just listening to it. Up till now, Mass Effect and Witcher games have had my favorite tracks. Skyrim is up there as well.

He's a genetic fail anyways, I thought poison would be the humane thing to do! :innocent:

God Todd Howard podcast. Not sure if it has any spoilers, but so far it doesn't.


Understandable. You have my sympathies then, for what it's worth.

And by the Maker, that music is just... wow. Utterly breathtaking - best soundtrack in the entire series. I'm getting super stoked for this game now. :o

Jeremy Soule is one of my favorite composers ever since I heard his Guild Wars soundtrack. He is a serious treasure to gaming. I got so many hours in Oblivion because the soundtrack was just amazingly atmospheric. I'm going to refrain from hearing any of the soundtrack, though, because I want to be surprised.

each new level after the first takes longer and longer to reach, until eventually you reach the theoretical max character level around 70-80.

As for the skills, of course you can max every single skill, just as you could with Oblivion and MOrrowind. skill leveling also slows down to some extent the higher your reach.

the game pace and the world seems to be designed for characters from level 1 - 50. probably most people who are just playing naturally will not ever reach max level.

So you pick the perks you want in the order you want. and there are something like 280 perks to choose from.

And there are some additional perk like abilities you get from quests.



Now, without the class sytem, is there anything preventing me from simply raising all my skills simultaneously? Even if it becomes more and more difficult as each skill rank goes higher, I could still (theoretically) have my character work on every skill simultaneously, since all skills (from what I've seen) now contribute to level up.



Nope, there is nothing preventing you from playing a JOET (Jack of Every Trade).

In my case, I find it refreshing that I can RP a much more highly specialized character than I did in Oblivion, who only performs those activities related to his natural inclinations. For example, an Orc Barbarian who puts all of his points exclusively into Two-Handed, Heavy Armor and Smithing, and never learns any spells, or a wizard who puts all his points into a couple of schools of magic, without ever having to worry about raising Heavy Armor to increase HP, etc.

Worrying about min/maxing all the time to get three +5's at every level up was a bit immersion breaking IMO. As was choosing the skills your character uses most as "minor skills" and skills your character almost never uses as "major skills." Good riddance to major and minor skills, IMHO.

This so much. I hated having to micromanage every single thing just so my butt wouldn't get kicked too fast in Oblivion. I feel that Skyrim's new system will give me the freedom to play as I see fit.

I plan to have several characters, at least five and some of which will not use any magic or stealth while others will focus on those fields mostly. I'm really going to enjoy the freedom of creating my own limitations in character creation, that's a game in it's own right and a luxury in most games these days.

Bergamont seeds + imp gall + rat meat + spiddel stick makes quite a powerful potion. If I remember correctly, it'll damage health and silence your visitor :P.


That made me laugh! :D

Dragons and Giants in combat. It's HD! (minor spoilers about a dragon, view at own risk!)

I know what you mean. I have it pre-ordered but I’m not sure when I’ll be playing it since Skyrim comes only days after MW3’s release. I am the type of person who can’t start one game while playing another and Skyrim definitely trumps MW3.

MW3 will take me a day to beat. Maybe a day and a half. I'll play the multiplayer up until Skyrim's release and then won't touch it for a loooong time.

Both are having midnight releases at my local Gamestop so I can get early headstarts with both.

MW3 will just be a flash in the pan - Skyrim, on the other hand, will probably be hailed as the best game in the series and remembered for a loooong time to come.

Lets not bag on MW3. It'll be played for a looooong time, just as its predecessor MW2 is still played today.

But Skyrim as a whole may be better. I hope so. Currently Arkham City is my Game of the Year choice, but I want Skyrim to blow even it out of the water.

As good as Arkham was(I'd give it a 95), Skyrim's gonna have to be amazing to beat it.

It would take me a few days to beat it. Unfortunately, I have to earn a living. It really eats into gaming time. Why, oh why couldn’t I be independently rich?Image IPB Nonetheless, I am sure my friends will give me the DL on what is happening. I might play around with MP until Friday.

Speaking of Gamestop, I talked to the manager of my local GS and he tells me that they have slightly more pre-orders for Skyrim than they do MW3 and that people that come into the store seem more excited about Skyrim’s release. That amuses me and freaks me out--I hope I don’t have to wait hours in the cold Thursday night and into Friday morning to get my copy.

MW3 has way more total preorders(at least on 360). But Skyrim is in second place.

Personally I'm more amped for Skyrim, but I can't wait for both.

Indeed, but he meant his local store. Not on a whole. Image IPB

There are too many good games coming out. I am getting a PS3 for Christmas and want to play through the Uncharted series. I don't know where I am going to get the time for all of it.

Neither do I. You're far, FAR better off doing a youtube search for leaked gameplay footage featuring the brotherhood armor, than you are trudging through the inane cesspool that is 4chan.

Edit: nevermind, he just put up  a picture.

Thanks, Naughty. Interweb troubles have been making viewing videos difficult. It does indeed look like the xbox avatar armor. Absolutely love the new look.

The thing I hated the most on Oblivion were...the freaking lockpicks.
I absolutely loathed them. I really do hope they don't make a "triumphant" return in Skyrim.
