No they did not, And the norwegian guy is partially right but vikings didn't come from Norway originally they came from the Whole northern continent known as Scandinavia which means Norway, Sweden and Finland. The vikings were also the first to discover Canada, they called it Vinland. Just something interesting. ... Even though we all know that the "good" vikings came from sweden...

that troll looks really intimidating compared to those disgusting living bushes in oblivion

I have heard that a lot of people are talking about the winter and the seasons in general, is that even confirmed or do people just assume there will be seasons? And snowstorms would be great but there shouldn't be too dramatic so that you have to wait for a week or something, maybe a day or something.

I myself use fast travel all the time in oblivion but if they would spice it up in a nice way by making things happen in the world as you travel I would probably take the long way, but complaining about sorting certain kinds of players out just because you think they play wrong is just stupid to me

Wouldn't it be cool if the snow would slow you down a bit when you walk and drain your stamina as you run through it? More as it gets higher

Companions have been confirmed in todays article from GI

nice that you people have some real good opinions :thumbsup:

First of I have played with Vilja and she is the best thing in oblivion I even made the trailer for Vilja (check it out on Vilja mod and then video tab). Hope the companions have good stories or they will be a drag, in falloutNV they tried to but failed on abit. A side note: I could maybe voice a character because I'm from Sweden but I have a really crackling voice as I'm just 16

maybe the shield thing is optional i mean if they can make dual wielding optional why wouldn't they be able to make shield to be on the back possible

So basically I have heard a lot of complaining on fast travelling in skyrim but isn't it optional? I mean don't like it don't use it, And some say that morrowind was better because it didn't have fast travelling, personally I have never played morrowind so I can't really say anything but I have heard there were some kind of transportation something like slitstriders or something that was like a fast travel. Isn't that also fast travel just another sort?

I heard that the cities will be open and that dragons and such could attack the cities while you are there. And there are five main cities that probably means there will either be many more villages and smaller towns or that the towns are incredibly big with different districts so that it will feel like different cities but I don't know this for sure, but the dragon thing is true

Really cool for you to meet the bethesda crew and most of the things people have said are already confirmed like dual wield, bigger more detailed dungeons, weapon customisation and such. What I would like is that small thing that many have said before me but to be able to carry all weapons on your back and that when you change weapon the first weapon don't just disapear.

what if you can get people from factions as companions like if you join the blades (just as an example) you can have an blade apprentice or just a fellow blade with you. Just a thought even though there probably won't be no blades

Okay it's actually getting scary how offended some people got from my opinion so I'm just gonna say I take it all back I thought this could have been a fun interesting thread about the game feel without mods but people just say that I am wrong over an over again though I will leave it open for full discussion

Okay now everyone have stated about the exact same thing over and over again, I am well aware that mods are optional and that not all mods are bad and that you don't like my personal opinion but I don't want to ruin for anyone else thats not my point. Maybe skyrim will be so good it won't need mod? And if you want oblivion in hentai style then fine but wouldn't it be easier to buy a japanese RPG from the beginning??

I must say that I utterly hated the companion wheel. I liked the way of control you have in like Vilja where you actually had to tell them to do this and that not just choose a picture.

might have but hopefully not cause that is just what i have been wanting the characters to look like since i started playing oblivion and I just noticed that if you look at the scans and then on any screenie of fallout 3 or NV fallout just looks really crappy in comparison.

I never said that I am against letting people mod or at least that wasn't my meaning all I am saying is that I wouldn't care if they didn't add a CS in skyrim and I might even enjoy it even more as the feeling of the game stays intact, I just want the game to have a value for what it already is. I have a few mods myself but I personally like to keep it true to the lore and I think all those female "enhancements" as runathir so nicely put it are just bizarre and ridiculous but if you have some kind of pervert fetish or just like having a girl with basketballs on her chest it's all up to you. Just gave me a funny picture in my head as you are slaying a dragon and a nord or somethin walks up to you and she looks like a barbie with silicon in every part of her body in this time period. I would have ROFL:ed. P.S I know that not all body enhancements mods are that extreme like BBB and such but by the scans seen both the bodies (male at least) and faces look a lot nicer in this game then in previous.

Totally agree I mean more then half of the stuff on the tesnexus site are just hentai mods or sexmods or just plain like change the whole city

you could not be the character from oblivion as it says it was 200 years ago even if you are an elf of some sort it would be boring becuase then everybody would know who you are and to the drsgonborn question I think it is said that the septims weren't the only ones who were dragonborn. As they explain it in GI there used to be dragon hunters and you are the last one of those even if you don't know of it... yet.

So basically I have been wondering about skyrim and the modding of it and I think I won't get any mods for it unless it really misses something. I have been thinking (and I know I am gonna get a lot of hate for this) that maybe it's best to not add modding possebilities (can't spell lol) because I myself get really sad and depressed when I see a video on youtube when someone has taken oblivion and modded it into some sort of shitty Devil may cry/hentai/manga/cartoon/call of duty by using mods that changes every aspect of the game. Then the game has lost all of it's purpose and you just bought it for the graphics engine which is just sad. What are your feelings on this? :mellow:

I want companions with feelings and a sense of whats right and wrong from their perspective and I want them to have background stories like for instance Vilja which is the best mod for oblivion ever and could basically be the only one needed in the game. I mean say you have a really barbaric nord wielding a giant axe and don't really care which path you'll go down as long as he can kill some were-yeties? Wouldn't that be a kickass companion??

Customizing weapons will be possible it's confirmed

I hope they will have really awesome barbaric axes with that nice viking feel, would fit skyrim since nords are based of of vikings

A nord viking like character like the one in the scans and I will also wield a bow or maybe a throwing axe? I'm all for axes if you are supposed to be nords. Oblivion had no fun and goodlooking axes.
