Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Page 6 - Video Games

One thing I hated about Oblivion was how much repetition there was in dungeon types and bestiary.

Hope they change that up or 300H of gameplay becomes moot as far as I am concerned.

They have 12 times as many dungeon designers (12 instead of 1) and by looking at some of those dungeons they look a lot less like the cookie cutter "connect prefabricated rooms together" type dungeons from oblivion and fallout.

I liked dungeon diving in Oblivioin. But I also really like the "do something somewhat repetitive and every once in a while get a nice reward" style.

Can't wait for this. Can't decide if I'm going to get it on PC or PS3.

150 dungeons? I hope there's some incentive to explore them.

PC purchase and its not even close: If this game releases Nov 11th, I'll be buying and installing it around March 1st - by then some nice mods will be out (not going to waste my first play-through on this game if there's obvious balance/gameplay issues).

Those graphics look pretty sick.

pretty crazy to get this on anything besides pc imo

unless you have a really crappy pc I guess. Even then this game would justify a video card upgrade

I would not buy this game for a console. I tried Oblivion for PS3 and I didn't like it at all. From what I was told these games are all about the MODS.

I know I'm going to get hell for this but I really wish they created some kind of VATS system for these games. It works for melee attacks in the FO games I don't see why it wouldn't work for these games. I couldn't get passed all the moving backwards while swinging my sword in Oblivion. I just think it would be a nice option for someone like me who generally sucks at video games.

Strange it isn't coming out on a Tuesday like all other games. I guess 11/11/11 is too good to pass up.

Mods alone make it a no-brainer if your pc can handle it

I have a pretty decent PC. Nvidia GTX 260, Core 2 Duo @ 3.0 GHz. Not screaming by today's standards but I handles Portal 2 and WoW just fine.

looks so good. small nitpick regarding AI though; I wish games would get rid of the 'stand there clueless when my buddy gets sniped from stealth' AI scripting. I'd like to see creature-types scatter and humanoids dive for cover and then maybe try to flank you or charge after finding your position.

That video's been taken down. G4 just put it up, though, so no worries.

"The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" E3 Gameplay Demo

Not much to say except HOLY **** THIS GAME IS GOING TO BE AMAZING. Can't remember the last time I was so excited for a game to come out.

For me it was Oblivion in 2006.

I think I'm done watching gameplay videos and stuff at this point, just because I know I'm gonna buy it and would rather go into the experience with as clean a slate as possible.

Oblivion V: Skyrim is basically Fallout 3 with swords! FAIL!

You have it backwards, Fallout 3 was Oblivion with guns.

If I love Game of Thrones, LOTR and Fallout but have never played ES before, I should still pick this up right?

If you liked FO3, you must play this game (even if you hate fantasy settings). Your likelihood of being disappointed seems quite low. These games have been consistently high-quality. If you like fantasy settings, should be insta-buy.
