Looks like shit. Not gfx wise, I kinda like them and the animations look mostly fine to me. The sword-fighting shown in the video looks kinda odd though from first person.
But:
- The dragons indeed seem to be the new Oblivion Gates, as has been stated before. Or: Cliff Racers 2.0.
- I almost had to laugh out loud when Todd mentioned: "They are DYNAMIC, they're not scripted, when we play the game we don't know what they're gonna do, often." Where did we hear that before? You mean they are radiant dragons, Todd? I guess what those dynamic dragons are gonna do when you run into them is ATTACK you. Duh. The dynamic thing is probably whether they are attacking you from your upper left or your upper right. Or, tastefully, from behind. Or maybe they attack the other fool first and then you. DYNAMIXXXXX! We've never seen that before with creatures in any game, ever. It's totally new because Todd says so.
- You can BREATH FIRE!! Yeah! Makes sense. What are you, a fucking circus performer? Ah, silly me, I forgot you are the Dragonpr0n! Guess it makes sense then. Will the city guards also be Dragonpr0ns, or will you be able to consume the whole city with fire as a member of the thieves guild and then loot everything (the leveled shovels and goblets and stuff)? Bethesda's solution to this dilemma will probably be that
a) no, the guards cannot breath fire, but
b) will happily continue to swordfight you while on fire, even though you just consumed a dragon outside of town with that same fire.
- Notice how when he makes the lightning spell / shout or whatever, how the WHOLE FUCKING SKY is going overcast instantly, until the horizon! So, if you're not busy breathing fire, you fight those blood curdling DYNAMIC(™) dragons by becoming Thor himself! Really? Looks like the awsum button is alive and well in Skyrim. What's next? Cast fireball and the sun is falling? Instant gratification ftw! Or maybe the engine still can't handle a more localized phenomena. Like with the Oblivion Gates that made the whole world go red when you came too close to them, even though everything had been hunky-dory just a minute ago when you watched them from 100 meters or so.
- Three "main guilds". Make that three guilds. Because the non-main guilds will probably just fall into the "also ran" category, otherwise he would have given a higher number. Not enough for a big game world imho. And it's gonna be Fighters Guild, Mages Guild and Thieves Guild, with different names though this time (Innovasun!). But who cares when we got 150 dungeons!
