i think the indoor scenes have some dynamic shadows.Seep said:
So has it been confirmed that this .gif from the Sound of Skyrim video is definitely PC footage? Because there's certainly no shadows on objects in the videos I've seen today, I don't think the books open either.

Those shadows look too terrible to be PC.

There's definitely shadows on objects indoors, and the books do open them if you pick them up.
Also, cool little note about the houses you can buy, there's a book shelf that you can deposit books in and it automatically stacks and alphabetizes them for you

HALLELUJAH! GOTF CONFIRMED!
Seriously, I've wanted this feature since Morrowind!

To me, it seems that Skyrim is part the Elder Scrolls, part Fable (marriage, buy houses) and part the Sims (decorate houses, again marriage), part Dragon and part awesome.
(Yeah, i know you could do some decorating in Morro/Obli)
Whoa whoa whoa, buying furniture? Okay, if there's a house decorating element here, I may have the only game I'll ever need.
Add loan payments, fishing, bug collecting, seasons (even if visually it's always the same, I'd like 4 different NPC and event cycles) and talkative, well written NPCs, and here's my Animal Crossing sequel.

Is the lighting dynamic? Are candles, torches, lamp posts, etc real sources of light?Bootaaay said:There's definitely shadows on objects indoors, and the books do open them if you pick them up.

Oh well ignore me then. That second bit is very awesome indeed.

If that is our reaction to being able to stack and alphabetize our books guys think about what the whole game is going to be like.
Can't wait till I have enough gold to buy the heated swimming pool.

Alright, some clarification.
We never lied. Some shots in the initial gameplay trailer were indeed captured on a PC -- using the 360 renderer. They were captured that way for logistical purposes. Essentially, the footage you saw is 360 footage -- or footage of the PC version if you have the graphics sliders at that level, depending on how you look at it.
I think the game looks great on 360/PS3. It can look even better on PC if you have a beefy machine due to the advanced graphics options/higher resolution/AA/etc. You guys can be the judge in a few days, but we're not engaging in deception here.
Not that Bethesda games don't have a little dose of jank on their own, but my main problem with mods in TES games is that they're visually very inconsistent. I guess though, that since everything is modeled in 3D for inventory, that won't really matter here as long as the editors use pre-existing assets.Woorloog said:

Nice to have it cleared up a bit. I'm not too worried about how it looks anyways though as what I've seen is already pretty epic, PC version or not.

Hi Nick, this is still true about loot, right?

Can I turn on high-res shadows for every object indoors and out in the PC version?

Thanks for the clarification and engaging the subject directly, however there isn't any way to reconcile all of Bethesda's PR statements in a satisfactory manner.
The trailer's 360 footage, look at the amazing things we're doing on 360 ---> we haven't shown pc footage? that trailer's pc ---> oh well some of it's 360, some PC --> some 360 and some PC but rendered using the 360 renderer with sliders at 360 level so not really PC
All irrelevant in a few days as far as Skyrim is concerned, though, yes.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
I'm very unhappy about this alphabetized bookshelf nonsense! Preorder canceled!!!!!!!!!
Fucking bethesda having to dumb down the game for console retards! Just another of the long list of RPG elements that get cut for casuals!
My Nord is illiterate!!!! How could he alphabetize books!? He couldn't! He was going to learn to read after marrying an Orc female and she would teach him in exchange for skooma and jewelry and a pet mule... and now it's all ruuiiiiiinnnneeed!@
First repair hammers and now auto alphabet!? Arrrghhh!

EviLore said:
Agreed.
They were good about releasing screenshots for each system with Oblivion and Fallout 3, I don't understand why ALL media has to be 360, unless we get upset.
It's really strange, actually, and makes me wonder why they wouldn't want to at least give PC Gamer, for example, some beautiful high rez shots with AA turned on.

One thing I didn't like in Oblivion/FO3/NV was the "dangling" aspect when you pick something up.
I would have preferred they went the Half-life 2 route. Pick something up and you can set it down nicely somewhere else.
My god, I spent like 10 minutes trying to place one single potion with it's small ass bottom on a shelf in my house in Skingrad.
Who grabs a bottle and spins it as fast as they can while trying to put it back down in real life?

The houses in Oblivion were largerly meh... i mean, they're cool and useful but lacked any interesting quests and the game simply slammed the quest to gain the house once you installed the mod regardless where you where etc and made standard houses "useless". Knights of the Nine was all right and Shiver Isles was good if not quite on par with Morrowind expansions (yeah, i like Tribunal a lot). FO3 DLC was largerly all right IMO though the Pitt was very, very depressing, even more so than the Capital Wasteland (yet fun).spirity said:
