It really does look like a (visually) upgraded Oblivion. Combat looks almost exactly the same: terrible.

It's also pretty obvious that the dragons are going to be the oblivion gates of Skyrim. So fun trying to go somewhere or do something and a dragon shows up out of nowhere and starts attacking you. All the time.

:retarded:

I MUCH rather have quick dragon encounters than have to climb those stupid towers in a handful of Oblivion maps over and over again.

I dunno what the fuck you're smoking, the combat looks vastly improved. The spellcasting in particular looks much better.

Apparently they have a limit on how many years behind modern quality they can be.

They finally fixed the "stick up ass" animations. That alone is worthy of praise.

It's basically a much prettier Oblivion, which is all well and good, but unfortunately this demo doesn't get into addressing the changes to the skill system and character progression, nor does it address the story, quest design, writing etc. It's a promising first look at the real gameplay, but can't be taken as indicative of the total experience. Of course, the worrying thing is that they don't get into it at all, but that's not too surprising considering the demo's intended to wow the masses and not appease the more critical fans.

Not only that. Everything is just terrible.
Pretty graphics? It looks so much like Oblivion. Just with 80% color saturation and awsum next-gen filterz. Blurry textures included of course.
Decent animations? Moders can do better. For free. Not mentioning that on promotional gameplay everything looks better than it really is.

I thought you guys might want to know this: You can light up enemy by hitting him with torch. :salute:

Also: I think these threads are made just for laugh and count out major fails about next Beth-shit (which is SO entertaining - I know). Because I don't think anybody expect it to be any good? Am I wrong?

It would appear that Bethesduh has learned a thing or two after their little jaunt into Fallout... but... sadly, I don't think they've learned enough.

Well sure, the combat looks cool and all that, but the skills are DUMBED DOWN BEYOND COMPARE! ONE HANDER?! WHAT THE FUCK BRO?! And the dialogue will probably be derp-tastic... and that's not even mentioning all of the perverted mods which are bound to be released for it.

Yeah, Bethesduh might as well make hentai dating simulations... because let's face it: The only people who still play Oblivion are the perverts.

What horrible ai?

Most action rpgs have an extremely limited gamut of behaviours. That's one area where oblivion (for all it's hideous demerits) excelled the norm.

I didn't say that enemies in Oblivion weren't retarded. But at least they actually had AI.

So yeah you guys have discovered that AI looks dumber than simple scripting.

Dude, you could jump on a rock/wall and the mobs would just run in place against the wall right below you. Snipe away.

Looks fucking amazing. Will probably spend more than those promised 300 hours with this game.

also that was on fucking xbox360. imagine exploring all that shit on the PC!
graphics whoring aside, AI looks a little dumb. combat looks a zillion times better than oblivion.

would like to see a
enter town -> grab quest -> do quest video.
