Which is your favorite Bethesda game? ._.SteveMeister said:

They're sporting the "Games for Windows" logo on their website www.elderscrolls.com and part of that is usually controller support so that is a good indicator. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee417691.aspx#5 section 1.4
Plus demonstrating it for an hour on a 360 build would make it a pretty safe assumption that it will have controller support on the PC version.

Loving the images and updates. My most anticipated game this year by a long shot. I know you probably cannot comment on much, but did you guys do anything to improve your work on the animations? As much as I loved Oblivion and Morrowind, the stiff animations often hurt the great immersion you guys had set up.

This sounds interesting
I want to be able to spawn thousands of pillows and build them like stairs so I can walk over mountains on them like a pimp
On a related note, I sure hope that console commands are included. There is a lot of fun to be had with it. I loved selecting NPC's in Morrowind, setting their acrobatics to 99999 and typing in "force jump". I bet you can imagine what happens after that, lol.

Todd's talked about the new animation a good deal. Here's a recent interview where he touches on it. Short answer: yes.

Destructibility of Environment - on a scale from 1 to 10?
1 being, swinging a hammer at a rock or a deer makes the same noise and leaves the same graphical mark
10 being a well placed shout can tear down the inn in which the bar wench has denied your manhood.

I still can't believe how great these models look compared to Oblivion's. The weapons and armor actually look good. The Daedric pieces in Oblivion looked like they were made out of plastic.

The team tried allowing it, but systemic pillow-stealing lead to tired NPCs that refused to work, throwing Tamriel into a dark age of sleepless nights and futonic resource wars. (This did not actually occur.)

Can't wait to trade poison apples and have npc's to eat them again. Oblivion was so awesome, I spent days just stealing stuff for money and possible awesome loot.
It's hard for me to go back to JRPGs because of this game. I'm very thankful for the PS3 port or I might still have been in the dark on these games. Got all 3 of their rpgs (well main) released on ps3. In fallout I didn't use sneak and crit hit like I did in Oblivion, it seemed harder to be stealthy or something. Well for one thing they didn't have those stealth % rings/gear. I never spend my stealth boys either.
I hope in this the return of the assassin play is back.
It looks so good, just kinda not giving my hopes up on running it smooth at good graphics. I just entered the gaming pc thing for this (got it early and plan to upgrade if I need to), Diablo 3, and Saints Row 3rd.

I am so very excited for this game. I'm glad to see the beautiful, naturalistic environments have returned. Unlike some, I am not a fan of the weird, otherworldly environments that characterized parts of Morrowind and the Shivering Isles expansion. Of course there could be plenty of those that haven't been shown yet. To me, the realistic natural vistas are one of the things that really immerse me in the game. Giant mushrooms or unnaturally shaped trees take me right out.
I'll be glad to see controller support in the PC version as well, it's my preferred input method when available. Accuracy be damned it's just so much more comfortable to me.
Regarding theft in Oblivion: I never got caught intentionally stealing unless someone was watching me. Maybe they fixed that in a patch or something but I always stole crouched so that the "eye" would let me know when someone was watching and I never got caught. I did occasionally pick something up by accident in plain sight, which is a pain in the ass, but a load of my last save always rectified such issues.

I did this in fallout 3 a few times haha. I just kept the game going since they just walk up and take that item back. I don't steal in Fallouts, but iirc if you got caught in oblivion they take every item you have a red hand on. I don't remember if Fallout have the red hand thing due to not stealing. I don't even know if you needed a fence in fallout or if it just don't matter. since resources are hard to come by, people may be willing to buy anything.

(Animate)
There's a lot of animation hints in the trailer. Third person and first person. Like that bow and aiming at the wolf, or the spin attack with the sword fighting something in third person.

I know the chances are very slim, and some here might actually hate the idea, but is there any chance you'll support Move for sword and melee combat as an option?

I'm confident that, by the time I have a PC that can run this game, someone will have made a mod that gets rid of the spiders.
The spiders look epic, but I have the hugest case of arachnophobia. Most games aren't a problem, although the Deep Roads in the first Dragon Age made me a bit uncomfortable.
Seriously, though, this is the reason I won't be playing Skyrim on my 360; well, that and I'm a huge Elder Scrolls devotee and it'll be worth upgrading my PC.

Well it looks like they finally staffed up some competent character artists because what little we've seen of Skyrim's characters looks leagues better than Fallout 3's or Oblivion's.

Damn, the Khajiit looks sweet. I never actually considered playing as a Khajiit before.
The orc's new look is nice as well.
Everything in these screenshots looks amazing. So I assume it will animate like shit. Prove me wrong, Bethesda! I would love to be wrong.
EDIT: I am really excited to see how the people from Arkane Studios have influenced the feel of the gameplay, if they have had any noticeable influence.

Eh, you know I'll play and love the game anyway...
