Thank GOD they made the actually 3rd person view something that is actually viable. I'll still fight in first person, but 3rd person is how I'd like to explore the game.
Shaheed79 said:Oblivion + Monster Hunter = Skyrim. This game better not have recycled dungeon and temple designs like Oblivion. I want a modern ES game that at least resembles the originality and scale of Daggerfall. I would be satisfied if Skyrim was even 1/100 the size of Daggerfall. Probably not.
For reference.
The top one is the game map. The second is the highlighted red area in the top pic. Each one of those dots is a location you can fast travel in that province. You can select which to display and the lighter the dot the bigger the location. Each of the 40 provinces has a similar amount of locations to travel.
This is one of the lighter dot locations. There are literally hundreds of city's this size or bigger.
I would literally maim someone for a modern remake of this game. I wouldn't even mind a small texture palette for environments if they manage to preserve the scope of the game. It is simply the largest game every created to my knowledge mmo or otherwise.
RoninChaos said:I think as development becomes more and more expensive we're going to see worlds getting smaller, but more detailed. Sure they could do 20 cities, but with all the shit the game has to run, it would probably only have 6 people in it and they wouldn't do anything. That kind of jerks the reality right out of the game. Huge RPGs don't seem as viable any more simply because of all the things that developers have to juggle.

zomaha said:Yep, it's a trade-off. We can have a ton of gigantic cities with very little detail or a few cities with incredible detail.
Maybe in 2025 we can have the best of both worlds.
OH LAWD ITS BOOTIFUL!TheKurgan said:
Why would it look like shit? Make it in delicious and sexy high-resolution 2-D graphics.bengraven said:Honestly I expect an indie RPG to show up one of these next few years that will be a spiritual successor to Daggerfall.
It will have a massive procedurally created world with thousands of towns, settlements, etc and unlimited quests.
It will look like shit.

Maybe it will get the unrealistic folk to shut the fuck up though.

Yeah I heard about that and I was going to say fox at first too but I wasn't sure they'd have that much variety in wild lifebengraven said:Well they said you won't get attacked if they're not hungry and sometimes they'll just growl over their kills and not attack unless provoked.
However, I think that was a fox.

Absolutely incredible. I'm no longer even remotely concerned about how Skyrim will turn out, the world and combat looked so much more advanced than Oblivion that it will more than counteract any questionable changes they have made (eg. removing skills).TheKurgan said:

DennisK4 said:I recorded all of the footage and will be putting it on YouTube but it will take a while.
Like bengraven said, its just the same 6 minutes I put on YT. But it was 720p at least!wit3tyg3r said:Awesome!!! I missed it because I was at work all day
I saw the 6-minute video on GameTrailers, but I want to see the whole 30-minute deal!
Thanks!
richiek said:Ok, so now Skyrim is using the same strawberry jam damage indicator that's being used in the Modern Warfare games? That's just bullshit.
