That's a lot of great feedback! Well, I guess all we can do is sit tight and wait for the CK.
Anyways, I stick to the magicka used per second idea. Naturally, mages will have an edge over warriors because they have more magicka.
This is logical. In Morrowind, one of those factions had castles through which the entrance would only be by levitating and entering from above.
The reason that those guys gave was so as not to let "barbarians" aka to them, Nords and warrior types easy entrance. There could also be a dragon shout which levitates like PirateDragon mentioned.

This would be great. It would be ideal if developers actually created it though. I wouldn't mind buying the DLC at all!

I totally suport this.. full fast travel is game breaking. Lots of ppl say "you dont have to use it" but really, were human beings, the more you try to forbid something that is right there, the more you end up falling for it. Just revamp it in a way that you can only take carriages, and maybe some random traveling caravans along the roads, with the implementation of mark and recall. This would rock in terms of immersion in the game. The idea of levitation is also cool, but I think it should be an extremely magicka consuming spell, so it doesn´t become game breaking.
Yep, that's what I was totally thinking of :)
I also agree that the spell should be extremely magicka consuming. It was kind of game breaking in Morrowind because you could recast it and continue floating around. A staff should also have this function, just at a greater acceleration. Imagine levitating with a staff in one hand and shooting fireballs with the other! :D
I think that'd be a lore friendly jet trooper xD

Yes, please! I want some more realism :D

Hey fellow travelers,
The travel system in Morrowind was fairly balanced. You could take silt riders (in Skyrim's case, horse carriages) and there would be the handy dandy Mark and Recall spells.
That's my main suggestion that I'd love to see implemented. I've no idea whether this should be something easy or hard to create or whether modders will have to wait for the CK. Seeing that there is a Midas magic mod already, I think it could be implemented(?).
It would also be awesome if there was a Levitation spell like in Morrowind, however it would drain mana depending on how long the person levitates for. I think that it'd fit in the Alteration spell section.
Would be nice to see what others think of this is well. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has been longing for Morrowind style.

P.S. Forgive me if there was a similar thread to this topic already!

To be honest I love the older design more. It felt more simplistic and more in my element, I guess, due to it being similar in design to Steam. But eh, I'll get over it and so will the rest of us :)
-
Gonna give the flick a go. Gotta say I do love zombie movies :D
-
Sounds interesting although this design has become something I've rather clung onto now. Ah, good modding memories..
-
Any information when you'll be bolstering up your ranks again with new recruits? I'd love to write articles for the Nexus.
-
That's great news :)
It's inevitable that gaming will become historical and I'm glad to see that in action and happening right now :)
I voted for: Fallout 3, Oblivion, C&C series, Half Life 2, CoD:Black Ops and various other old timers, especially WORMS!

I've seen the graphics in the trailer and honestly I didn't think the graphics were all that improved. I don't care. One of my favorite games of all times is one of the oldest surviving MMOs, Dark Ages by Kru (not DAOC). It's very pixelly anime style that can't even boast 256 colors, a highly modified/localized port of a very old game called Legends of Darkness. In its heyday rp was mandatory. It has dungeons something like 20 levels deep. It had complex skills, quests, and levelling. Can't play it anymore because it can't handle 64 bit. All that said, I do like good graphics, but the graphics in that Skyrim trailer are going to be modded and improved nearly instantly once the game is released. So just give it time. There will be optimized replacers for people with older computers. There will be graphics which require people with gaming computers to upgrade cards, and everything in between. Any moddable game is soon modded. That's an additional reason the graphics aren't really the most important thing. Story can be modded, too. To some degree the engine and gameplay will be modded, but people have to love a game enough right out of the box for a modding community to truly thrive. Elder Scrolls games have a long history of creating that level of fandom. I am just hoping Skyrim can do the same. Story and AI are important. Settings are important, but if you want to know the most important thing of all which ultimately determines which games fade quickly and which ones are around years later, still selling, the answer to that is...YOU. You the player. Game franchises that attract good communities are the ones that last. In reality, all they have to do is make sure Skyrim does not drive that community away as some other companies have done by not listening to players, by using buggy, overly intrusive or ethically dubious forms of DRM on paying customers, charging too much for the DLCs, etc. If they don't do that, we will buy it, and if we don't love it right away, players will transform it into something they do love. The most important thing that Bethesda can do really is care about players and give them an interesting world as a canvas. They've done it before, and I think they will do it again. If people are still buying Skyrim 5 years from now, then they have done their job. No matter how terrific the graphics are now, they aren't going to blow people away in 5 years, and I think they know that by now. I hope they do.
Couldn't have said it better myself, I totally agree with you too. The community is what keeps a game thriving.

This mod has a lot of spells! I've tried them and the damage output seems to be pretty high if you have a decent mastery of destruction. There are also leveling up mods which totally reform the vanilla Bethesda style. I didn't try any of those out because in my opinion I found the vanilla leveling up something out of the ordinary but yes, I do agree, it is time consuming.

Games really don't have to have good graphics to be great. I mean, just look at Minecraft. That was one guy who designed all of that and I'm pretty sure he's a millionaire now.
Agreed.
Any game with a good story will be good of course. Sadly, story alone doesn't mean realism. I want to be consumed by Skyrim with all its' technological advances. Something in which I can run away from the real life but STILL be in a very realistic "life". All I'm saying is an epic story makes an epic game but in the end a realistic game combined with that epic story will have a much better impact on the consumer.

thanks lord for the interview update.. I know that there will be horses in Skyrim, but i think it would be neat to also give some of those horses ( like warrior horses) armor like the guards..
If they don't add any on release they'll probably include it in a similar Horse Armor DLC xD
-
why did you link to the older model that costs more?
Sorry I meant this model: http://www.xoticpc.com/asus-g73jwrog-p-2938.html
The ROG model has a Nvidia GPU model (Yes, I'm a Nvidia fanboy) and it also has the Bluray function although I doubt I'll use it at all. I'll also most likely get it customized by ordering from XoticPC. The main reason for getting the G73 model though is because it can keep the system cool. Laptops, if not cooled properly, get their GPUs and other hardware inside melted. I'm also considering whether to get SSDs from Xotic because laptop hard drives tend to spin out within a year for me :/

I'm sure I read something within the "Technology behind Skyrim" article which says that they've created a new engine specifically for trees and another engine to determine how the weather shall react. Do you think it's possible that Skyrim will have an environment changing engine other than snowfall, browny snow sludge and similar things? If they created a special engine for the tree's physics and for the weather could it be possible that after a harsh storm (if they implement it) there would be tree carcasses and visible remains?
Would be an excellent feature if they've thought about it, would make the world seem way less static as well. I've always admired the woods and forests in Oblivion but some trees just live forever apparently and do not rot or decompose.
-
I doubt it would end similar to prior games and if, well there's always the modding community to ask for a favor :cool:
-
Just to get the terminology straight, expansion packs are distributed via traditional retailers and DLCs are digital distribution only?
Because technically, any expansion pack that is available via download is also a DLC.
That's what I was thinking too but I guess as long as they release expansions/DLCs I'll be happy.
-
According to trailer it will most likely be +18.
Fancy moves, assassination animations, very realistic blood effects...what else more could us fans ask for? Hopefully a large game world. :rolleyes:
-
I guess I'm kinda in the same position but thank god I've got relatives who haven't gotten me Christmas and Birthday presents for several years now xD
They owe me favors :laugh:
So this is what I was planning to get for Skyrim's release, I've checked and it SHOULD be able to run it somewhat.

Any objections or other recommendations?
I'd actually get a decent PC for that price but I'm a mobile gamer and I travel a bit so yeah...

I wonder if this interest could be renewed again since the Elder Scrolls Freebies reminder news post?

I'm in Phnom Penh at the moment and the time is...4:32 (24 hour format clock)

Hey guys,
I'm new to the forums but am a regular user of the Nexus. So this is my suggestion guys, for Oblivion there's this mod that basically empties your memory every 8 seconds.
This helped me a lot in Oblivion as I tweaked the .ini so I could use more Ram and CPU resources(I never experienced frame rate gradually dropping with this mod).
I did the same in New Vegas (tweaked the .ini) and the performance is a lot greater but it takes only about 30 minutes for the game to get stuck and filled with memory and then it usually crashes.
If this mod could be converted, I'm sure a lot of people would be grateful.
Attached file info:
This is the original mod archive in 7zip format. It contains an .esp file, not sure if this information helps because I have no idea what-so-ever of how to make conversions of mods from Oblivion and Fallout 3. I think the creator of this mod was German because the zip file is named "Bessere Speichernutzung" which pretty much is the equivalent of better cpu/ram/memory usage in English.
The original read me is included in the zip file and luckily it's in English (as well as German).
I also retraced the link of this mod in case anybody would prefer to download it from there instead. The download description is in German though. Mod Download Link

This would be an awesome mod. I don't really mind floating hands, it's just Bethesda's style. But nonetheless ever since I've played Far Cry 2 a couple of years ago the first person body has seemed very immersive :)
Keep up the good job!
