The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

True, but once you had a shit ton of gold, you could just train up a bunch and level like 10 times super quick
I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not, but it was weird and different

Oblivion fixed that by adding a train cap on all the skilltrainers.

and i think skyrim wont use fallout 3's exp system since the playstyles are very diffrent, A warrior shouldn't be able to pour points into spells and a mage shouldn't be able to wear heavy armor like a pro in one to two levels.

Fallout has a system where its more fun to experiment with a variety of diffrent talents and skills, elder scrolls is more about building a character and solving the diffrent situations the game throws at you with said character.

Quick question:

Morrowind or Oblivion?

Morrowind for pillow forts

Not really true, as even in Oblivion once I maxed out most of my main skills, My warrior became a master of Illusion magic, and was at least a journeyman in all the other magical disciplines. Sure I didn't have as much magicka as a mage, but I could still heal major wounds, light my way or turn invisible and summon a couple of creatures or fireballs if I needed too.

The system was pretty flexible,

Morrowind had skill caps for trainers too.

I hear there's supposed to be some gameplay footage released tomorrow.

Holy shit that looks sexy!

I need to play Oblivion and fast.

Archery looks amazing.

Dude had a staff and a sword at once.

SIGN ME UP FOR THAT.

I loved Oblivion with my heart. If they can give us that, BUT BETTER, I will be complete.

And for fortresses made of books over lava lakes in the blighted wastedland as personal outposts!

Trailer looks so good.

The music at 2:10 was fucking magical.

I can't even touch Oblivion after watching this

Civ, GI had interviewed Todd Howard for some community Q&A and you could tell how pleased Howard was to be on with them, like he was thanking GI for everything they've done for Bethesda and the TES series. Even the devs really take notice of how much influence GI has.

GI?

game informer?

Yes. GI = GameInformer.

It looks great except for the rapids. Those look too smooth and too white.

Still early days Ang.

Besides this is Bethesda we're talking about. Let's hope the new engine isn't as buggy and glitchy as the old one, because as much as I love their last few games, that instability always hurt it's otherwise glowing experience for me.

UNLIMITED DRAGONS!

Well my only problem with that is, don't you gain power from each one you kill? like an ability/bonus? You could pretty much go farming for the blighters and go super OP.

It beats farming super mutants in fallout 3 until you could 1HKO everything in the game with a hunting rifle.

Oblivion had a scale system, i'm sure this will be the same.
