So there it is. Clever way of keeping the vid from being pulled down. :lol:

Yeah, that does indeed look bad. So many retarded scenarios. Like anyone would be expected to calmly walk towards their own execution and not be escorted by 3/4 guards. Just stupid shit. Dialogue is bad. Obviously the conflict between the "Stormcloaks" and the empire is meant to be important and so they have to frontload that shit into the very beginning in unconvincing ways. Just fuck.

Now instead of the emperor getting murdered in the sewers by assassins we have epic! dragon attack. I wonder what they'll do for their next game - have an entire continent be destroyed? The Morrowind days of throwing you in the environment and simply saying "have fun" - and, more importantly, slowly introducing you to the main quest - are clearly over.

So where's the rest of the tutorial?

THIS GAME IS SHIT FUCK BETHESDA FUCK SKYRIM!!!!! IT SUCKS SO BAD I... want to see what comes next? :retarded:

I'd expect the "walking calmly towards your execution" part. I reckon most people are well broken by the time they get to the chopping block. You can thank consoles for the lack of actors.

Call me a faggot (you do that anyway) but I felt kinda "sad" (well sad's not the correct term, dunno) when that guy in the video ("you") was sent to the execution... Ofcourse you know that you will get bailed out, but I actually liked it a bit. :/ In hindsight (just watched that again) it's p. retarded though. "Oh, you're not on our list, but we just make you a head shorter for the lulz and because we are so grimdark and evil lol"

Now just out of curiosity I'd like to know if you can control your character at this point.
If so, what happens if you don't obey them?
(My bet is on nothing happens and you are stuck in the scene forever...)

Does it really fucking matter if you can't run off and get shot in the back during the tutorial?

Actually it's not even the tutorial, just opening cut scene. I'm guessing once you start fighting enemies you'll be mortal too, just like in Oblivion.

Does it matter? Does anything matter in a game?

It would be a nice touch in a game that is marketed around choice and freedom.
The least they could do is make the guards force you to the block if you don't cooperate.

I don't get why Bethesda still insists on calling this an rpg and doesn't just admit they'd rather be making shooters.

What is it? Loosing your faith? :M
My "faith" was lost somewhere halfway through Morrowind.
Gord said:
Fuck, CSM, why do you have to use this pic! Disregard my earlier post...
Because Master of Magic was awesome.

I'll look for something else.

I assume the list is for bureaucratic purposes only.

Captain: What's your name?

Prisoner: Uh...Mayscycb Crtbmsas.

Scribe: He's not on the list, Captain.

Captain: I'm so sorry for inconveniencing you, mr. random peasant. You are free to go. Don't worry, I believe you :)

Scribe: Yeah! We may be in charge of the chopping block, but we're nice and reasonable if you get to know us. ;) . Say, I hear the Fighter's Guild is recruiting again.

Executioner: I saw a mudcrab the other day.

The gameplay will be shit. The graphics will look dated. The story will be herpaderpa.

/thread?
How do you know? Wait till the game comes out and then judge for yourself, in the mean time, be quiet.

Deal, as long as you say the same to anyone who ever says anything optimistic about it.
When it comes to the hype meter for Skyrim I'm super hyped, but you always got to be prepared for the worse. But seeing the beginning of Skyrim, I am certain that Skyrim will be an awesome game and RPG.

To bring that up again, has anyone ever seen some actual PC footage from the game?
Something to judge whether the textures will have higher resolution on pc (knowing Behtesda they won't) or if the interface will be pc-lized (knowing Behtesda it won't)?

Yes, they totally developed a completely different version only for PCs. :roll:
