Joinable Factions

Other than Thieves/Mages/Fighters Guild? Good.

Bosmer "Animal Allies" Racial Ability confirmed.

Real attempts to create racial differences? Good.

Fast Travel costs money.

Sensible.

Glow Worms confirmed.

Neat... I guess.

Killable Bees and insects confirmed

Okay...

Lockpicking mini-game is improved.

Improved, but not removed...

Perks do not stop at level 50.

What the fuck is this shit? Does this mean what I think it means? You can just grab every perk eventually?

corvus · Aug 13, 2011

I bet the fast travel costs money thing just means whenever you click on your MapQuestPipBoyWhatever and you're teleported to the landmark it just removes a few gold from your inventory. Or maybe they'll add giant whales and Silt Striders to ride instead. :bounce:

Bethesda game balance! (Mods'll fix it. :smug:

)

NPCs can throw rocks at you if they are on a bridge above you.

Oh yay!

Now to be specific about this game-making mechanic, can the NPC's throw rocks at you from equal level or below you? If not, does it indeed have to be a bridge, or can they just be on elevated terrain of any kind? Finally, how much higher must they be for it to count as "above" you? Oh god if the answers are satisfactory this is definitely a buy! :bounce:

sgc_meltdown · Aug 13, 2011

yes yes but will we be able to see the snow melt or freeze

Excidium · Aug 13, 2011

Or will my character have chest hair? This is very important as they already confirmed beards.

Hey, Morrowind holds a special place in my heart, I'm still bitter about it.

It's like they have a double-take quota for every information release. Another example:

IGN: Can you ride dragons in Skyrim?
Todd Howard: Not in the way you're asking.

Clockwork Knight · Aug 13, 2011

Interesting list...I just hope that the Wood elf ability won't be a joke this time.

You can choose not to spend perk points each level, and hold onto them instead.

Does that mean some of the better perks will take lots of points? Neat, I was thinking you had to pick a perk each level.

...then again, only a few perks showed up on the quakecon video (you pretty much had to pause to see them, Todd was too busy showing us the constellation background), and they were mostly along the lines of "+33% Axe Damage".

Settle down, Beavis.

Well, I think it just means you can get new perks as long as you keep leveling, isntead of reaching a level / perk cap.

Drog Black Tooth · Aug 13, 2011

It's a TES game, of course you can max out everything.

Anyway, the feature list sounds very cool. This is going to be a huge time sink.

FatCat · Aug 13, 2011

Deus EX:HR will be good appetizer for a main meal.

Spectacle · Aug 13, 2011

This .... sounds pretty nice. Skyrim seems like it will be a much better hiking simulator/hack and slash game than Oblivion.

G.O.D · Aug 13, 2011

Killable Bees and insects confirmed

One, man.. 150 bugs.. on a quest to get them all.
He is Dovahkiin.. Bugcollector! :Epic music:

Ulminati · Aug 13, 2011

But can you romance a dragon?

G.O.D · Aug 13, 2011

There are six different stages to crafting items. The first two are: Refining crude ore and Assembling materials.

I'd craft climbable ladders..
You'd make a fortune in TES universe.

har har

Luzur · Aug 13, 2011

so, crafting will be like in Minecraft?

Barrow_Bug · Aug 13, 2011

Some fucking retarded part of me thinks this could be fun. And then I remember how the plot will suck cock, the characters will bore me. How the same three music tracks (hyperbole, kids) will play over and over again. And, my favourite, I won't fight the big bad at the end. I'l watch some handsome price or massive magic robot do it for me. No, no no, I HAVE TO RESIST.

Deus Ex:HR doesn't have dragons, duh. It shouldn't ever get over a 95 for such an atrocity.
