Technogran

I feel the same. I have yet to see someone smile for example, most are very unfriendly in their tone to you when speaking, yes some are helpful but its a harsh cold area with very tough people, and if I had been creating the province of the Nords, I would probably have made them exactly the same.

Iv'e only found one! Wonder how many there are in total to find?

I totally agree with you about the story writers at Cyan for the Myst games. If I could visit Bethesda and talk to the guys, I would encourage them to play all of the Myst games (if they haven't already done so that is!) to see how to do it. Get the story right (and its various conclusions if it branches or has choices) and then build everything else around it.

I haven't killed Lydia yet but its a wonder that I haven't! She is always getting in the way of my arrows.

I think she's a Nord

Stormcloaks then.

I think he was joking........

You all must be aware by now how Bethesda love to keep lot's of things 'up their sleeves' to surprise us all. I wondered why they weren't showing the intro (which we all saw for Oblivion, at least where you are in the cell and meet the emperor ) so I think there will be plenty of gob smacking surprises in store for us all in this wonderful tale that will enfold next week.

I have already got mine sorted on Blogspot for my Skyrim journal. It's here at http://elderadventurer.blogspot.com/ ready for my first input of my story.

I try to make my character look as much like me (and also act as I would if I was really there) as I possibly can. Of course I don't make them my age, they are a much younger version.

Now there's a video containing all of the new shots with soundtrack explaining which city or town they are of. Take a look. Video Link

Oblivion was a early release for the 360. Time and experience is the difference. I totally agree. When Beth did Oblivion, they were working 'blind' they didn't know what they could and couldn't do with it, now they have got the whole hardware and capabilities sussed, and doesn't it show!

I have been wanting to see some footage of the towns and cities and at last we can see how different each city is and how the inhabitants go about their daily business. It's all so well captured, the atmosphere, the Lord sat upon his throne, the market sellers, I nearly burst into tears! I can't wait to walk those streets and converse with the people! Bethesda, you guys rock! Thank goodness you all exist, that's all I can say......

It's Pine Watch where he encounters a the bandit leader who's a very tough to beat woman.

I have just read an article where we will be able to loot dragon corpses but their bones will remain. So you could come back at some later stage and see the bones of the first dragon you slay laid there. My link
