ub3rman123 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 " If you looked quickly at our editor, it behaves similar to our old ones; it just does a lot more, and does some old things in better ways. But we don't change things just to change them. We still use the nif file format, because it worked fine for what we're doing and our modders know it well. We still use some middleware that we like, such as Havok. We're not just using their physics this time, but their animation system, Havok Behavior. It makes a dramatic difference in how the game looks and plays. Overall though, the paradigm for how we build these huge worlds has not changed dramatically, we just want it to look better and play more smoothly. " Wooo!

KradenEPC Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Not much new info in that article, but there were a few goodies. If they're using Havok Behavior, will we still be able to make our own animations? Also, this statement might be troubling for people afraid that Bethesda is dumbing down the graphics for the consoles: Our graphics work centers around doing things that will look the same regardless of platform, and sometimes that implementation will be different on the 360, PS3, and PC. Cool interview though... check out the new screenshots included with the article if you haven't already :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amras0808 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 IGN: Can you ride dragons in Skyrim? Todd Howard: Not in the way you're asking. saying as all footage from the trailor was real ingame footage, maybe this means we will actually control the dragons without being on them, it would be exciting:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiRiUs1503 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) NIF file again then? So this should make easier to convert most of the mods from oblivion YUHUUUUUUUU! Edited March 31, 2011 by sgtbarney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necris Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) Regaring spellcrafting. One of the ansers Todd gives to IGN, to me sounds like there will be no spellcrafting in the game. IGN: Will there still be an opportunity in Skyrim to create custom spells? Can you enchant?Todd Howard: We do have crafting in each archetype, and the magic one is Enchanting, so you can forge your own magic items and tweak their properties.Is he saying "you can enchant, but not spellcraft, since enchanting is the magical crafting skill"?

aaroncox Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 new forms of travel. riding a carriage sounds fun. new awesome screen shots. it's a shame he didn't mention traveling on horse back though :( IGN should have asked what types of creatures will be in the game. over all good interview p.s was todd howard joking when he said leviate would be in the game's down loadable content for 3 hundred dollars? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordWushin Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Finally, something! Began to think Beth forgot about us. Directx 11 huh, better be out of the box, not like Crysis 2 and patch it in later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
