coilsofthesnake Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 What do you guys think the new engine will enable in Skyrim? I personally hope for REAL DUAL WIELDING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted1848331User Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 It'll enale whatever they decide to enable :P I'm hoping for spears an an axe skill. Axes aren't blunt, if anything they're blades... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jermungand Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 These things are great, but they don't in any way depend on what engine is being used for the game at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Dual wielding was a engine limitation. Adding new skills was an engine limitation, but more likely hard coded. But dual wielding defintely was a limitation of Oblivion's engine :thumbsup:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The engine is underneath the programming of the game, not the same thing. Fallout 3 has the same engine as Oblivion, so by your line of logic, it must have exactly 21 skills divided into three catergories within an identical character creation menu. Heck, by your definition of "engine", it really is a good thing we're getting a new one, or we'd be getting a complete clone of Oblivion. The engine defines how your computer goes about rendering, animating, texturing, and calculating the way objects interact within the environment. It does stuff like that.

SniperVillan Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 personally I will be happy just to see some smoother and more dynamic animations and improved physics. If there was a way to have lots of npc's without butchering the fps that would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMike710 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I just hope the new engine allows Skyrim to run much smoother, unlike the unstable stuttering that is Oblivion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullsy Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Unstable stuttering? I think thats on your end. I play max details no stuttering of any kind. Now throw in a mess load of mods, bunches of HD texture packs, and I might stutter in a huge battle once or twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a point, my system does suck. :PBut what I'm trying to say is, if you don't have an uber-build which is the majority of us, we are bound to get lag here or there.I mean maybe they could make the game more friendly towards people like me.

skullsy Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I see what you're saying. They did do a good job on Oblivion as far as making it better for low end systems, IMO, though. On my old school 128mb GPU desktop, I could actually play oblivion with better settings than other games of similar quality. However higher FPS with the same graphics is always a good thing!
